OIL DIHTKIBUTtNO OKVICB FOB VESSELS, It consists of a can to be suitably suspended by cords, the can being clothed externally with a protecting canvas or flexible wrapper, and having internally a body lining «up|orted by a coiled wire, in connection with a suitable soft and absorbent material, for the retention of the oil and as a protection to tbe can. Pass! ng through a diaphragm near tbe lower end of tbe can, and out through the bottom. Is a pipe fitted with a valve, for regulating tbe amount of oil to bo discharged, there being at tbe outer end of (be pipe a strainer or sieve, to make the distribution of oil more general or diffused, although this strainer may bo swung back and a small extension pipe screwed into the valvular nozzle to distribute the oil in a more or leas flue stream.

I'rrMrrlng Wood Against Fire. The methods of preserving wood against flro, explains Scientific American, are of two kiwis— tbe injection of saline solutions and the application of a paint or coating. The former appears but little practical, and, Indeed, short of proof to the contrary, it must bo considered dangerous in tbe case of wood of larp» dtmensiovs. This system Is, however, applicable to small pieces of wood. Of all tbe substances recommended, a conrent rntc I solution of phosphate of ammonia fa undoubtedly tbe best, tbe use of this sub- ,' stance, notwithstanding Its high price, possnaring such great advantages that it should be employed in all cases where expense is no object In the majority of cases, however, ooating with a brush is tbe only practical solution of tbe question, and the substances most to le recommended for use in this manner are cyanide of potassium and asbestos paint* •-•r

first €hn of tbe Civil War-Hot at ter. as Coninoulv Supposed. It has been generally (.sought that tbe first gun of tbe great civil war eras tbat-fired on Port Sumter, while other accounts hav* given tbe doobtfol booor to a battery at Pensaoola harbor in Florida, where Admiral POrter, f"" but a lieutenant, distinguished MtntJf by re-enforcing tbe United States garrison with extraordinary vigor and promptitude before tbe actual outbreak at tbe war. But tbe war department at Washington has ascertained, on clear evidence, that tbe original overt act of hostility was committed at Vicksburg on tbe Mississippi, where an attempt was made, some days bofore tbe Charleston and Pensaoola affairs, to stop a steamer passing down the stream with stores on board belonging to tbe Federal government. As the armainent it the place at that time consisted of ooa four pounder, tbe property of ha city and intended for salutes, it is not .surprising that the steamer went by unhurt^ and the circumstance bad been almost .orgotten in tbe greater events of which Vicksburg was tbe scene until tbe late inquiries revived tbe memory of them. The gun was brought away when tbe works of Pember ton were dismantled after his surrender to Gran in 1863, and was found in the ordnano* stores at Washington, whence it was sent to West Point and presented to the academy.

An Adage.

Tho saying, "God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," is commonly attributed to tbe Bible. It is in the story of "Maria" Sterne's "Sentimental Journey.*• It is nearly word for word with a sentence in the "Prem.ces" of Henri Estienne (1504): "Dieu mesure ie froid a la brebis tondua" Her bert, in his "Jacula Prudentum" 16W0), Bas: "Toja close shorn sheep" God gives wiml by measure.*' In the "Memoirsof Henride JiaaiB-egard" (17571824), a Savoyard abbAragty^s. less poetically. "God cuts a mal^j^pk according to his measure.1* It is notwlfmf for

persons

to make use of favorifcSTquotations and to credit them to the Bible, Whtt| lf they knew the real origin of them, would hesitate. Not very long ago a gentleman who said he regarded Shakespeare as "vile and wicked" (some person bad told him so, for he admitted never having re^Lany of the great poet's works), used the ^Rid: "There is a tide in the affairs of men," and added, "as was said by Paul in bis Epistles." And yet heseemed to be pious and sincere, notwithstanding the fact that be evidently knew as little atout the Scriptures as he did about Shakspeare,

Naval Forces of tho Mexican War. Several squadrons of United States vessels engaged in tho Mexican war on the Pacific coast from 1846 to ISI3, and they were a* times co-operating with tho land forces in the prosecution of that war The flag ships and commanders thereof were as follows: Tho Congress, commander!, by Lieut.

Disraeli (or Lord Beaconsiield, as he was known during the latter part of his life) was of Jewish lineage, but as to all political rights he was an Englishman. As he did not adhere to the Jewish religion, he was eligible to the house of commons, the some as any other British subject. For many years Jews elected to the house of commons, who adhered to their religion, were net allowed to take their seats in that body, simply because they would not take the customary oath which was sworn "on the true taitb of a Christian." Tho oath was finally modified so that a Jew could take it without doing violent to his religious conscience, -i y" &

How Stoves Came,

Following the primitive open hearth the first separate heating apparatus used by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans was tho brazier, an open basin of metal, in which charcoal was consumed. Tho brazier is still in common use for industrial purposes, and in continental couutries it is widely employed both for cooking and for domestic hoating. The introduction of chimneys into houses in the early part of tho Fourteenth century opened tho way to all modern improvements in tbe heating arrangements of apartments it was on or about that time stoves came into

THB FALLS OF tXBKl.

The fall is formed by tbe turning'of tha river Velinoo into the Nera, through an opening twenty feet broad made in the mass Of Mont Marmora. This work is attributed to Curius Dentatus for the purpose of draining a lake immediately above, which was apt to inundate the plain of Rieti, though Cicero says he did it to drain his country villa. At the first point from which the water is hurled is an elevation of about 40 or 50 feet, Che second falls from a height of nearly 508 feet, and the depth of the chasm through which it afterward rushes into the Nera in one vast stream is said to be 210 feet, making in all a descent of 838 feet. Tbe'besfc" view of the fall is from a sm. summer hotiso, said to have been built for be benefit of visitors by Bonaparte.'

Byron in "Childo Harold" gives a wondrous description of these falls, telling of their solemn grandeur, combined with tSbe soft beauties of their surrounding^ Her® aro a few of his Words:

Whe San as a Fire- Extlncul^ The dear little School Ma'atrf Nicholas tells the children that ka As the wintry cold begins to wane and the sunlight grows warmer, house fires are apt to get low and dull, and for this reason persons say "the sun has put tho fire out." Naturally the children ask her to explain this queer conduct on the part of the sun, and then she tells them something like this:

During the sunniest part of the day we aro apt to neglect our fires and to cease supplying fresh fuel Meantime the suns rays warm tho air and rarify it until it is as warm and thin as the air In tbe chimney that has been heated by tbe Bra Then the draught and the fire gets lower and lower.

But the little School Ma'am opens a door or a window and tbe fresh, cool air sends the warm air in the room up the chimney in a hurry and the fire brightens. And the little lady reminds them of another fact: If tha «n«Aim falls directly upon the fire fit. ft at least a rival light, and not so well csl? culatedto show the glow of the coals as a fluttering shadow would be.
