The most remarkable use of monasylla
"bles among poets on record, occurs in
" The Fire Worshippers," in
Lalla
Rbookh," and is as follows :
' I knew, I knew it could not last
'Twas bright, 'twas heavenly, but 'tis past .
Oh ! ever thus, from childhood's hour,
I've seen my fondest hopes decay;
I never loved a tree or flower
But 'twas the first to fade away.
I never nursed a dear gazelle
To glad me with its sort black eye,
But when it came to know me well,
And love me, it was sure to die
IhW, too the jov most like dmne
Tf all I ever dreamt or knew,
To see thee, hear thee, call thee mine,
Oh miserv, roust I lose that too?
Yet to! On peril's brink we meet;
Those frightful rocks that treacherous sea ;
No, never come again tho' sweet,
Tho' heaven, it may be death to thee !
This passage contains one hundred and
twenty-seven words, one hundred and ten
of which are monasyllables, and the re
mainder words of only two syllables. The
sentiment embodied throughout is that of
violent mental emotion ; and the passage
affords a striking illustration of the cor
rectness of the theory that, " the language
of passion is almost invariably broken and
abrupt."'
Devillk's Fckxace. M. Deville of
France has constructed a furnace of great
heating power.' -It consists of a flame
of coal gas. inclosed in a chamber of
iron-conductors-, into which a jet of oxy
gen ga3 is Jlown. In this way only the
naterial required for perfect combustion
is admitted, thus obviating the objection
to the use of common air which involves
the necessity of introducing into the fur
nace with every volume of oxygen four
volumes oi inert nitrogen. V hen cold
air is used, part of the heat generated by
oxvgen is wasted in heating the nitrogen
it hM therefore been found highly ad van
tage nns to apply the waste heat of the
furnace in raising the temperature of the
air which feeds the flame, thus forming
v int is technic.i'ly called the hot-blast.
Th-J in -3 of pare oxyga 1 is not ecomomical.
bui whero a very higli temperature is re
quired, it is indispensable. In Deville's
furnace, platinum, the most refractory of
the elements, when placed upon a bed of
lime and subjected to the flame is easily
melted. About one cubic foot of coal gas
and one of oxygen will reduce one pound
of platinum. The temperature generated
in the Deville furnace has been estimated
to be over 11,000 degrees Farenheit. or
about live times higher than that required
to melt cast iron.
Calcutta Copal Resins. The Comptes
Hcndus contains some new researches by
II. v lolette on these resins, which
pre
viously had been found soluble in ether,
turpentine, benzole, petroleum and other
hydi'on carbons, as well as vegetable oils,
only after losing about 25 per cent of
their weight by distillation. Violette's
experiments show that these resins, heated
, in a closed vessel at a temperature be
tween 350 and 400- C, or 662 and 752
Fahr.'., acquire after cooling, without los
ing any of their weight, the property of
dissolving, hot o? cold, in the above named
liquids, and forming excellent varnishes.
He finds also that Copal resin, heated
O as stated, under pressure, with one third
of drying linseed oil and one-third of
essence of turpentine, gives directly, with
out loss, a rich', clear limpid varnish of
a beautiful slightly lemon color, perfectly
adapted for carriages, and for the inside
as well as the outside ot rooms, where
delicate painting i3 required. Under the
double influence of heat and pressure this
resm acquires new properties. .Manufac
turers who would take advantage of this
discovery, must bear in mind the retort
used will be subject to a pressure of at
least 300 lbs to the square inch.
Origin of Anthracite. Dr. Percy. F.
R. 8.,' in his tenth lecture on Chemical
Geology after describing an experiment
Daubree, who subjected fragments of fir
wood, in a close tube with water, to a
high temperature and pressure, and thus
transformed the wood into a black mass

anthracite proceeds to say : It has long
been supposed that bituminous coal is
converted into anthracate simply by appli
cation. of heat ; but something more than
this is required to satisfy the conditions,
for if it were simply a matter of heat we
ought to get, not anthracate, but coke,
falso a proportionate increase in the quan
tity of fixed organic matter, or ash, in
the coal. It seemed to him there must

believed that water played an important
Qpart in this conversion that anthracite
has been the result of thermohydric or
hydro-thermic action ; and that water has
in some way or other removed to a large
extent the inorganic matter or ash.
r S TREVGTn of Growing Trees. An En

ASTORIA LOT SAL.E.
The proprietor of the town of Astoria, in
order to pav his debts and carry forward his
improvements, offers to the public the greater
part of the unsold lots within the corporate
limits, on terms that will arrest attention
and tempt investment.
The property will be divided into six hun
dred parcels, and distributed among the
purchasers by lot. One-half the parcels will
be single lots, no one of which is worth less
than $50, and many of them are worth 75
and $100 each, at the present selling rates.
The other half will be prize parcels of two,
four and six lots each, and single lots rang
ing in value from one hundred to six hun
dred dollars, and one house and lot valued
at one thousand dollars, and one new cottage
residence of eight rooms (not all finished),
with stone cellar under the whole, together
with three lots, all as one parcel, valued at
five thousand dollars. All the parcels will
be sold at one uniform price of fifty dollars
each.
As soon as the shares are all taken, the
distribution will be made by a committee,
consisting of the County Jude, County

until all are drawn. The record of the draw

money on receipt of the deed. The title is a

Situate in the mouth of the Columbia river.
at the onlv spot where a town can be built
with a harbor of sufficient capacitv to shelter
a large amount of shipping, and accessible
bv both ocean ships and liver boats in ail
weathers, Astoria can have no rival as the
ente-not for tlu commerce of the river.
Rival towns have been projected, but scarce
ly the rums ot a house now mark their sites
while Astoria has grown steadily up to the
condition ot a respectable little city, and in
creases taster every year than it did the
year before.
Un the two points between which shtps
enter the nver are the 1vo torts, btevens ami

quarters, each a respectable village, where
the LTOvernnient Das entered upon a a series
of works, which' with their irarrison, will
involv e the disbursement of millions of do
lars. Aud, considering that this is the gate
to an interior countrv of three ernbrvo States
besides Oregon, all glitteriuo; with veins of
gold and si'ver, no expense is likely to be
spared in guarding it. The travel and trailic
between that region and San Francisco i:
already immense. It will never cease,
cease increasing. And there, at toe gate,
will stand Astoria; and all the steamships
and river boats must come to her wharves
as they ply the ever increasing commerce of
five States. Three regular lines of steam
ships are now employed, and at certain lea-
sons extra trips are made. At present, thev
extend their voyages inland a hundred miles
to Portland, iu pursuance ot a habit nai
urallv formed when trade was confined to
the Willamette river, on which Portland is
situated. But the reasons for it are dimin
ishing, and tho reasons for changing it are
increasing; and it is generally believed that
verv soon the ocean steamers will termi ate
their voyages at Astoria, and leave the in
land carrying to river boats of but a twen
tieth part their cost. Portland, it is hoped,
will not be injured bv the change, but re

The following extracts from a letter pub
lished in the New York Independent, of Sep
tember 27th 1S50. from Prof. Wood, who
made the tour of the Pacific States last sum
mer. e:ives the lmnressions ot a sagacious
and impartial stranger:
Astoria, Oregon, Aug. 11th, lS6o.
"T wrilp Irnm this rpniwncfl lilace. As
toria stands upon the left bank of the Co
lumbia, ten miles from its final commingling
with the ocean. A narrow interval of level
ground, from tide to bluff, say two miles in
length bv two furlongs in width, affords a
convenient and pleasant footing, fur at pres
ent, about seventv white buildings, including
custom house, court house, hotels, stores.
shops and dwellings. Several fine dwellings
also stand high upon the lulls m the rear,
enjoying a landscape in front of marvelous
beauty. Astoria enjoys acnmaieoi rcmars
able salubrity. Diseases may exist, but I
hear'nothmg of them; and the atmosphere,
perfumed bv the vast coniferous forests, or
purified by the expanse of the waters of the
Pacific, brings only health and vigor to these
shores. Hence, it is a favorite resort for in
valids and tourists from the interior, in
search either of health or recreation. It is
occupied and controlled bv a population
chiefly of New Lngland origin, lhey main
tain an efficient public schooi, now under
the direction of a graduate of Yale, for the
education of their two hundred children.
"Astoria occupies a position, geograph
ically, which should entitle her to supremacy
in commerce, as the New Orleans of the Co
lumbia ; and the As'oriiins maintain that
she is yet destined to attain it. At present,
however, Portland is the undoubted metro
polis, a city located one hnnd ed miles above
this, not on the Columbia, but on its chief
tributary, the U dlamette.
1 his is an anom
The vallev of the
a'y yet readily explained.
Wi'.l.iriietf.e is by far the larsrcst and best ag
ricultural district in the iState, and Portland
is us mart ; while the region buck of Asto
ria is yet f resr, with onlv here and there a
small section subdued. For this good rea
son, at present. Astoria has less than l.ooO
inhabitants, while Portland hasS.O '.); and
for the other good reason, its commanding
position, this 'little city is the only port of
entry 'tor the State. The future importance
of Astoria soenis Heritable, and must more
than keep pace with the development of her
agiicultural resources."
The -erentv houses estimated by Prof.
Wood were at that time more than ahundred,
and since then the largest and most costly
store io the town has been built, and a
church, steam saw mi l, brewery, and one of
the beft tanneries on the Pacific coast, to
gether with whartint; and the usual addition
of dwelling-nnd other buildings. Another
church is to be bnilt next season, and a num
ber of hoases are under contract. Each sum
mer the carpenters are overtasked. Next
season the demand will be greater than ever.
Workmen of all trades are greatly needed.
This is their opportunity, this is everybody's
opportunity; every person should own some
property at the seaport aud summer resort
of Oregon. To improve and use. there is
none so eligible for heath, schools and profit
able employment. As .merchandise, to sell
for profit, none will give so great an advance
on cost. As a means to lay up mouey for the
future, no other is so safe, or will return so
many fold. Not a ticket but will draw a fifty
dollar lot, and two-thirds of them will draw
prizes of two, four and sis lots each, or a lot
worth rrom;twice the the cost of the ticket io
a. hundred times its cost.. In euch a rafie
etery cue should, try his luct.
