(2r,\ss Ti itfs m Xt h nci< irv —An iion wire \ mm in diameter is wound round the tube at the place re ([Hired to be cut, and the ends are connected bj means of copper conductor of the same diameter with the polls of a posvLiful bittery or other generator of electncity. This wire becomes heated when the current flows, and it is only necessary to cool it suddenly with a few drops of cold water in order to pioduce a clean cut. (Jlass tubes four inches in diameter are now cut in this way. 1 lit typical Chicago git 1, w ho is known all o\ er the United States a? the possessor of the largest feet in America, hai been cruelly libeled. A Boston paper recently stated that she talked slang, and made use of such expressions as " getting left," conaled a Inndkerchief," and "put in his best licka." A reporter at once called upon a representative Chicago young | lady, who belongs to one of the first families in the city, and asked her what sh« thought of the assertion. " This is a fish story," she replied, with natural indignation. " The Mlovv who w rote it is 'way of his base. There may be some of us who sling slang, but I never woik the slang lackct myself, not this child, and now you hear my ba/oo ! We can discount Boston on beauty ; and, as for accomplishments, why, that's where we hold a full hand. Take me, for example. I can pa^ the ivory ; I can warble a few warbs, and I can clocute. Boston girls are just di«grundled. The fact is that they hd\c got to hustle to keep cron with us, mid don't >ou forget it '." This intei view seems to ha\e ellectually set tied tiie question. The libelous Boston paper should now apologi/e. Th h L \ l'K DITKK OK BUUNSW IC X.—The late Duke of Brunswick, the chief of the Guclphs, from which lace decends the present Ro>al Family of England, was eccentric to the verge of madnebs. Ho had a passion for the most expensive gems, and he would shut himself up with hid magnificent collection, and fondle his diamonds like a miser of old. In Paris he spent nearly all his soliUiy day, attired in fantastic, flaming dressing gowns, selecting from among tniity waxen simulacra of his own face, and wig, the eyebrows, the complexion of the day. Dyed, rouged, and scented, the Duke of Bmnswick went out at sunset in one of his famous chocolate coloured cariages, dined at sonic fashionable lcstaurant, and spent the evening at the little thcatic wheic actors are counted necessary vehicles for the exhibition of ankles. At home —if home his goigeous folly could be called—lie kept no kitchen. A cook was necessarily a poisoner in his eyes He mixed his morning chocolate himself, his milk was brought from snburban fauns in a .scaled siher can, and his body servant was compelled to drink and digest it ere he himself touched it. He was, however, a modest man at glass and platter He drank nothing but small beer, and his worst orgies were formidable feasts of fruit and ices. He left his millions to the city of (Jeneva, because it was the only one likely to put up hii statue in a public place, even at the price, he paid for the perpetuation of his lifelone folly. YixTiLATrxc Sims.—We have just received from Mr J. M. J Barton, of 300 Pitt stieet, Sydney, particulars of his system of ventilating ships by means of a close furnace placed in the upper part of the vessel. A series of pipes extends fiom the several compartments in the vessel to the furnace, which is closed at the bottom, and the doors are made to fit very closely, so that no air can pass to the fire except thiough the pipes pro \idcd for that purpose The lire in the furnace causes a di might, and as no air can enter except through the pipes, a wondeiful suction will be produced, and the foul air in several parts of the ship will be drawn into the furnace. Fresh air will naturally pass thiough into the compartments through passages provided for that purpose. The inner ends of the pipes are closed by gratings, to prevent the enhance of live coals. This device can be applied in any marine vessel, but is especially adapted for steamers, .is the furnace of the boiler could be utilized. ! In sailing vessels a spefi.il furnace would ha\e to be provided —lion. I x. reference to thu effoits now being made to open up markets for Australian \wkil m f'hin.i, the TflxtitAninn Mail say-i. —"Th.it the fall in pi ice of wool occasioned by thu l.njru importations from .South Ameiici should surest to those engaged or inteiesled in the pastoral in-(hi-tiy the advisability of seeking for fretih outleti f >r their produce is natural enough, but that China should be looked to in this connection appears to us a rather remit kablo illustration of how the whirligig of tniie brings about its revenges. For vearrt past the Austialian colonies, at tho instigation of the Trades I'nion, have been legislating to keep out the Chinese. In 'Queensland, in Now South Wales and Victom a poll tax lsleuid upon them, yet now, IwcniiM* thme is ,i fall in the price of wool which jiroinisps to bo pfiniiiient, it in suggested that efforts should be made to induce the Chinese to become customer! for our wool. In the nitett'sts of the Australian colonie*>, we shall, of course, be Klad'if the-e efforts nhonld prove successful, but it strikes v-, that it argues a conhirferable amount of assurance on our part to »hk the Chinese to oblige us by purchasing our wool while uu will not allow them to land in any of our ports without paving a penalty of £10 a head. In phueof cultivating trade relations with us we should say the Chinese would bo amply justified if thuy pay us back in oui own coin, and refuse to admit our wool on any tcimn. With les-peet, howevei, to thu ieduction in the price of wool, we have no doubt that it is a sufficiently serious matter for those engaged in the wool industry, but we aro not rlisposgd to regaid it n-i an unmixed evil, at least m> far .is thu colony is concerned. One of the piobublc results of it, should the reduction prove permanent, will be the sub-division of some of the Urge pastoral estates, for the puijtosc of devoting them to agricultui.il purposes, which will certainly be pioduetne to benefit rather than of injuiy to the, country,
