Iu no ease have the iviuisite detouatora of fulminate of mercury ln-en thrown, as these uiv very sensi tive t explosion, by tho shock which they receive iu tho powder gun. All tho experiment made were instructive, ut they were also destructive, of the guns, llio problem of propelling shells filled with high explosives, with safety to the guns and to those discharging them, was not sat sfactorilv settled wntil Lieutenant Zulskl, of 'the Fifth United States Artili-ry, brought foi rd his pneumatic vim, mi the Inven tion and Improvement of which he had been engaged for oi e time. This gun it. iu reality a tube hixty feet long, made of half-inch iron lined w ith one-sixteenth of nil Inch of brass, and liuvlng a boru .f e'ht iuche. The lmm l is supported and stiffened by r light but strong iron rranuw at the cen ir of which is a pivot, aUut which the gun may l txiwdved. the bivech fttd Mug provide! with whccbi, which run upon n eiivular I.Mck. The gun is elcvnted and depivs:-! by means of a l'h4ii, tho cylinder of w hich receives air from tight rvservoirs-each of which is twenty feet long, twelve laehea outside dlaiueter. ami made of Iron half an inch thick-placed upon the frame beneath tho barrel, tho air Wing supplied l.y a eMnpi-essor. This jistii pivsses upon the gun jut for Waixl of the trunnions to elevate the tarrel. I'pon die nlr Indng allowl to eapw slowly, tho Uni l is lownd by gravity. To the pistons of two cylin der placed at the pivot are aeeurvd Ihe ends of wire njM , one of which is vurrsl to tho rear part of the frame, ifte otlier to the ooposita aide. The I mm mnv lr ratudlt turned in eitbci (iirectioti by admitting air to eillier oi tlie cylinders. An arm at tlie center of one of the trunnion, through which tlie compres-ed itir passes to the gun. operates an auxiliary valve, which in turn moves tlio main valve, opening the passnge to ;ui air-chamber behind tlm projectile. J-'ioiif'tho instant of opening the valve, the full pressure of tlm air in tlm reservoirs is exerted upon tlm projectile unt'4 it reaches the muz zle, when tlm valves mo nutonialicaily closed.. 'J'he eight reservoirs contain enough itir at one thousand pounds pressure to discharge the gnu six times; but its they call be continu ously rcsupplied with air by the com pressor, there need bo no delay in linng. All the movement of the gun are controlled from the lihilfnl'in at the breech. The rartridge launched forth from tlm lube consists of two parts A wooden tailpiece lifty-one inches long, which guides the projectile in ts flight; mid a head. The forward por tion or head is n brass cylinder forty inches long, having a conical cap forty inches long, In the tube tiro placed one hundred pounds of explosive gelatine, through tho center of wniili extends a core of dynamite; and in tlie center of the dynamite, again, is an exploder of fulminate of mercury, from which A rod leads to the point u tho cap. As soon as the latter strikes mi object, tho charge explodes. Jn order that the charge nuiy be exploded, Iu ease of failure of tlm above arrange ment, a drv hattcrv, placed in 11 little recess iu the tailpiece of llio cartridge, is connected with the fulminate ex ploder. The battery begins to work upon being brought into contact with wnier, uuu iiie L'cia.uie is tnen ex ploded. For it Is for navi.l warfare, in the first place, that the pneumatic gun of Lieutenant Zalinski is intended. And it must be admitted llmt, while the United States are still w ithout tlie ..ii..!i needed ships, furtilicatioiis and hcuvv guns, which would place tho country on a level with other naval powers, these pneumatic guns will form very efficient defensive weapons, licsidcs mounting them on points iihing tlm coast liable to at tack by a hostile licet, they art! to In; employed in a more decisive way. It is admitted that the range of pneu matic guns is limited as compared witli powder guns. An enemy's Heel might lie beyond the rang f pneumatic guns, and bombard American ports and cities with impunity. Hut it is suggested, ami appears perfectly feasible, to mount pneumatic guns on fast sea-going torpedo-boats. With such boats, aggres sive action of a very decided and de- isive character would be iNissible. Hunts have been designed two hundred and ten feet long by twenty-six feet beam, earrvliiir from one to three of these guns, of calibers of from ten and a half to twelve auo a half inches. The speeds of torpedo-boal.s so armed are to be from twenty to twenty-live miles itu hour. The shells are to be thrown at least one mile, and to contain from two hundred to live hundred pounds of ex plosive gelatine, the rapidity of firing them being from one to two shells every two minutes, . The effect of such shells upon even he strongest ironclads would be irrie slstible. If dropped upon tho deck of nn enemy's ironclad, they would cer tainly crush it, for their action would not bo coiiliucd to a simple local per foration, but the crushing iu would en sue over a considerable breadtlu lie shies the direct bre iking action at the nointof impact, the.v would bo n very .Trout transmitted sWk, which would. ?eekoutaud break tip tho ship at all w eak points in the vicinity. The docks even of the most heavily armored ves sels have less than six inches of armor, and they present by far tho greater portion of the target lired at. More over, tho most heavily armored shli..-, leaving out of nccount'tlmirdccks, have hut a small proportion of tlm entire surface covered with heavy armor. Should tlm shell strike the portions of tho armoring too thick for perforation the tremendous blow, as slated above, would seek out the neighboring weak points by the transmitted shock. It might bo assumed aslmost certain that tho effect of exploding a large quantity of dynamite or explosive gela tine upon the turret or tlm casemate of a ship would bo Mich as to render the crow Inside incapable for further ac tion, rven if the armor were not pene trated. Supposing, also, that the shell should f.til to hit tha vessel, if it ex ploded host enough, even if its explo sion wt i not auflicient to disrupt the hu'.l, it would eertKiuly ntl'ect the mo tive power and the steering apparatus and thus practically- paralyze the ship.

A MASTERLY STYLL The linlrwrllmblr t liar in Willi li l.llrratar Keerlvr from Eirmiloii, Guiltier is one of tho writer who prove how largely the form of expres sion gives literal ure its chari.i and ideas their interest. When tho French say that the style Is nil important, they come verv much nearer tho truth than n class of English writers who regard it as uuimpoi'lant. (inutler was a critic of much delicacy and justness of feeling, " but he bad no new ideas to bring into tho realm of m't or thought. No man had less claim' to be' regarded lis a philosopher or it fago. His views of life wen-often Intended to bo iinin iug. ami when not so intended they usually furnish aiiiuswneiit for their naintc and their simplicity. They please us by the ignorance of life'.vhich they display. (Jautier looked at, life with the glance of :t child, who finds in it much that is pretty and is wholly unconcerned us to whether there is aught to existence but picking flowers and chasing butterflies, ltut tho style made every page that ho wrote full of charm. He said of himself that his was a style of iiifjecllve. He thought that the complications of modern life de manded a supple and complex' mode of expression, that should seek words iu nil directions, colors from all palettes, harmonies from all lyres; .his should be like the light of tlie setting sun, that reflects through burning clouds-its varied hues. Few men knew or used so many words. He had the contents of the dictionaries from A to '.. With mi eye that saw till things ami a command of w ords that few could eipial, he excelled iu a gorgeous rich ness of description. The things which the eye could se", ho saw more clearly, he described more vividly, than any other writer of this day. Of the things not visible to tlie eve, tlie whole world could show no one else so oblivious. His power of perception w-as tlie more intense, because he had no conception of the things which were beyond his observation. He never dealt willi the thoughts of men, their lnner life, their mental or moral development, with the mysteries of life or tlie problems of the future. FoFhim sueli'iiupstioiis had mi existence. I!ul all things in life. of which the impression could strike the optic lervc, w ere lo him things of joy. Span ish muleteers singing over the passes of tlie Pyrenees, Russian Princes wrapped in sables amid the snows that enveloped f ir rolling steppes, the minarets of St. Sophia, the sun setting ovcrthc lagoons of the Adriatic, where the cry of the roiulotier breaks ' upon the traveler standing in the shadow of St. Mark's such tilings he eoulil describe w ith vivid ncss and richness which no one else could equal. He possessed alsothctw'o qualities which are found iu almost all literature' that can hope to survive its author, imagination and humor. His imagination wasa pictorial imagination, one that was excited by subtle resem blances of form more than of feeling; but it gave life lo every line he wrote, from a poem on love to it government report. Men like lo 1o amused, and lit, more than though,-, keeps hooks tlive. (iautier's writings have not the vit of the great works, which are read forever because they forever entertain, but ho had flic humor which delights in the delicate coiigruitics and incongrui ties of words and thing the humor Jiat always pleases and never pierce. .Ulttntk Moiithh.

Trent it nliout as you would flannel ; let it get quite dry, and if you use it quite hot iron, not hot enough to singe, of course, nil tho creases will comu out and the silk will look like new. Tho reason it darkens it to iron it wet is this: If it were put into boiling water the silk would darken as flannel would. If you put a hot iron on the damp silk you convert what water remains in it into boiling water; it is thus scalded. A silk which has changed color in tho wash may be partly restored by wash ing again." Parenthetically, I 'may re mark that this ironing them wet Is the reason gentlemen's white silk handker chief beconle yellow with ' xvahing. Catherine Owen, in Unoi JluuxcbecpiiH. AFTER DECAPITATION. Action nf tlie Ifrml at an Aiiiiu tl After Its Sppanitlon from the Itmly, At n recent meeting of (lie Academy of Sciences, M. Hayem, of tho medical school, read a paper on the phenomena noticed iu the head of an animal after decapitation, with or without transfu sion (if fresh blood. As soon as the head is separated from tho body tho eyes move convulsively iinil it look of wonder' mid 'anxiety is noticeable nn tho face. The jaws separate with force, and tlie tongue seems to bo in a tetanic slati?. There appears to bo snmo eon--seiousness of what is going on, but this does not last more than three or four seconds. The eyes then shrink into tho head, and some spasmodic efforts nt breathing are made; tho nostrils ex pand, the mouth opens, tho tongue is retracted toward tho J'uHfes. This re spiratory effort is repeated three or four times, but the senses seoni to be inactive, and tho will is lost. Thcso phenomena last one, or at most two minutes, and the head thou be comes utterly inert, if prepara tions have previously been mado. so that the head after separation continues t' receive a fresh supply of biool. the voluntary manifesta tions persist us long as tho blood sup ply is sufficient -that is, for half an hour or more. When a blood supply is furnished after the head has heroine entirely motionless tho phenomena are as follows: Some contractions, very ! weak and feeble, take place, eiecinlly ; in i ne muscies oi tne lips; then some j respiratory efforts; re Ilex actions of ! the eve, tirst weak, then well marked, ; but the eyelids remain drooping; tho 5('",,'i are quite asleep, and ; no ,u is iiiaiiiiei -ii, u, course i the longer the period ln-tween : decapitation and the restoration of t blood supply, the longer the timu he fore lheo phenomena are aiionii-ut.

Iu tin Ideal sentence, then? is nn exact balance between tho thought and the expression, so llmt there are just enough words to express I ho thought. Writers wbose voenbu hiry i ample and whoso uleas are comprehensive, strive to keep this bal ance of thought and language. Those w hose ideas are vague are apt to bo lavish of words. The Kngli.sh rusli relatively makes a greater draft iiyoR little stock of words to express iiis dim notions than did either Shakes peare or Milton to utter their grand ideas. The word s of tho wise are few ami well chosen; every utterance shows that they would rather ineilitato than speak. Ilene,: their savings are often oracular, and if they err it is on tin s!de of speaking too little rather than too much. Tin sentence of fioetho, "Thought widens, but lam:?s; activity narrows, but quickens," will bear pages of ex pmision. When the cask is full, the liuid r.ins iu j 'Is from the spigot; when it is nearly empty, tlie liiiii:tl comes freely. Vef lo use too few words is a arealer error than to use loo many. Superfluous words may b.? removed, but missing words can not always lie supplied. Hut ns few nr.? w ise enough to too concise, and as thousands err iu bein too diffuse, we must notice tlm error of verbosity, or that of using too many Words. In the discourse of a colored preacher occurred tlie iollowiur sen tence: "After much consideration and serious reflection I have arrived at the deliberate conclusion, that in thosi cities whero the pollination is large, there is a great, r number of men. women mid children, than in those cities where tho population is less, Here a fact so apparent that it needs no statement is amplilled so that on th'.? minds of the hearers its nothing ness would not Im? impressed. This neediest amplification is too often the fault of tho clergy; and ninny a bubb!o of conceited utterance uiisrht bo blown into it drop hy ti breath of common sense. A serviceable rule for such writers would be: Scan every .seiil.'iieo; then condense your sentences into clauses; your clauses into phrases; your phrases into words; and if von do not really need the words'blot tUein out. A ver bose writer, above all others, needs the unsparing hand of kindly criticism. Citvumllictttion'or indirectness is not always a fault. Sometimes it is bettor to suggest an idea than it. is to express it. Chaucer did not wish to tell his readers that tho sea captain drowned his captives, so ho said he sent them home by witter, in act lirst, scene fourth of "Kinr; Lear," (i ineril takes fourteen lines to utter what the Fool couches in two lines. When t hi; "rave- digger said to tlf miser, who h'.'sitat.'il fi'nout paying for llio burial of his do- ceased wife, "Down with vourdust, or up she comes!'1 h ? afforded a marked instanc,? of the desirability of circum locution. In cases where it is not needed, it is it grave fiult of style. In Dickens' sketch, "Tlie Steam Excursion,'' hi tuns iiescriuos fine oi mo cnaraciers: "Mr. Hardy was observed, some hours afterward, in an attituin which In duced his friends to snpposa that ho was busily engaged Iu contemplating tho beauties of tlie deep; they only re gretted that his taste for the pict uresque should lead him to remain so long in a position, very injurious nt all times, but especially so to an nidi vidual laboring under a tendency of blood to llio head.
