Tb projectors of the Centennial buildings at Philadelphia have, apparently, ouininlMed a serious blunder In their plans by putting up different rtruotnrca at such long distances from e soli otber that nobody but jprofcsslonal pedeMtmus oould make ih tour without exnansilna. As most of the vIMtorswvill be tliHre m but one day. it la desirable Ibm dointf np the exhibition In that time shottld be made feasible; more over, that the rf of h vlelt should not b fit definitely Incrtmsed by i-nrlsge hire and cur fare. The an vital consideration", and a" no possible purpose Is Milervd by the magnificent distances plareil bstween the bulldlniis by tbo-commission'. Hint nils'sUe should, by nil means, be remedied (before It Is too late. Accortilng to the present arrange nient tbe mscbtaery hall is balf auile frntu the agricultural (building, and tbe lattwr In nearly a mllefromthe main exhibition build Ins. Tbe Items tif-abon leather alone, which the million of vMlors would expend in need less travel, would loed tbe poor of a eity for a generation. Tbe transfer of visitors by steam or horse carrfrotn building to 'build Ins, wnnld be an Improvement on walking, but it would be work attetided with prodigi ous Inconvenience and numerous at.-okfents, and would repreent-an expense of at 'least half a million doHam.-tbat might beavaided by putting tbe buildings nearer together.

The first year but one cane ls. allowed fo grow, aed all laterals are rubbed atlas soon as they appear. The ensuing Autumn the cane is cut bank to three eyes, tbe -atrongest two of j which are only allowed to straw tbe follow-' Ins; spring. A light trelluvbi now prepared by ettlug small posts between the vines, nay eight or ten feet apart, and to these nail three narrow strips, one eighteen 'inokes above tbe ground, tbe next one foot higher, and tbe tblr two feet above that, so that the whole trellis will only be about four aid one-half feet In height. As soon as the canes In the second Spring have grown sutflekmtly long to tlfl.fiuten them down to tbe lowest slat. one to the right, and the other to the left. The nect Spring canes will start aU along these horizontal arms, and when tbey reach the topmost slat must be pinched ofl a few inches above. Now comes tbe fruiting sea son. Cut down all these upright caos to say two eves in the Fall, and next Spring al low onlv the stronnerof tbe two shoots to grow as an upright fruiting cane, pinoblug oft in toe meantime ait laterals oeyona me second leaf. No ham-yard manure is used, but bone-dust, ashes, lime, plaster, and sup erphosphate are the sole dependence.

How many thousands of centuries have passed since it was shaped, and for how many It has lain undistnrbod in its deeply covered grave, Is a euttseetive subject of study and onnject. lire. Other discoveries, indioiting the ex istence of man in very remote ages, have been made In various sections of this old course; and in 1858 a number of fossilized pine logs, seven feet long and four in diam eter, that ban been neatly sawon ana piled iid together, were found in the AUcKbanv tunnel, under the bed of the " Old I! I tig lliver." The recently found relio has been forwarded to the California State University.

One night there was nil unusually Lirgoaiidinnce, and the txbiliitiou was uncommonly start ling. In tbe dim light forms emerged from the cabinet, and bouih of them were at once recognized by persons present as ronnima tlous of dead relatives. At length the form of a child appeared in tho doorway of Mm cabinet, and h wotnin said that she rendllv recognized it as ber baby that hud died a few weeks before. Thou a ynung-fnllow, full or eartnly realism, darted forwanl and grabbed tbe infantile form, and was prompt ly knocked down by tho man who conducted the show. Tbe investigator held tust to the baby, however, which, upon examination, proved to bo materialized with rags and a muk. The International postal code went intorf feet the first of this month.

Bt'd Switz-rlaud, with all thlr colonius everywhere, this low rule is in e fleet. Tbe statistics, of loss of life nnd slesmers fs simply appalling. In January of this year nine steamers nnd one hundred and i'xty eisht lies wero lost; In February, three steamers antl forty-threo lives; In March, six steamers and two hundred and one live; in April, four slesmers and nuo hundred and twenty live lives; aud in May, four steam ers nnd four hundred anil twenty-seven lives: or, in four months, foitv-Mx steam ers and nine bundrud and sixty-four lives lest. The Tribune says: While fo much Is be ing written calculated to show the su perlnrlty of Puget Sound fir over other fibres ordin arily uied In thecnoHtruoMon of ships, It may not be amiss to call attention to the tact that the steamer Cyrus Walker, built of Fnget Sound material, eleven years ago, has never bad a caulking Iron driven Into ber aeams a'nee she was launched, Is yet tight as a bot tle, and ber sides smooth aa a floor. It is stated that one hundred and sixty wagons are now crowing the plains en route for Walla Walla and Kistern Oregon.

The prospects for crops In Washington county are good. 'I lie fall wheat and sprlugcrops will make more than an av- fnige jiciU. An Absurd Pretence Exploded. The Times of theHth Instant mistakes In coupling my limine with Mr. Keely as a dls covnrer of means by whloh water, moving under a few pounds pressure,, is made to generate thousands of pounds of pressure, without best, chemical oreleotrloal aotlon, the water escaping under extreme pressures In the firm of a transparent vajor. This Is said to be all that Keely has exhibited. It is no discovery of mine, but Isauold aud well kuown dynamical action of water when conducted through any Bitriple mechanism so constructed as to automatically, Instantly, and successively stop Its motion, and accu mulate tbe force of its successive Impno's la a suitable receiver or air chamber. Tho me ohanical device, employing this dynamical aotlon af air and water, Is wholly worthless fir any other purpose than raising water, though it may be employed for other pur poses. I have one iu operation whloh will do all that Mr. Keoly exhibits. Every person possessing the radlmenlH of scientific knowledge, knows, (1 ) That the dynamical action ot a slow movement of wster into an air chamber, provided only with suitable valves, my be made to multi ply pressure indefinitely. (2 ) That water under a pressure of one or two thousand pounds to the Inch will escape through n Hiiltnble orifice lu thn form of a transparent vapor. (3 ) That it will only so vaporize un ner extreme pressures. (4.) That meohani cal power cRnnot, increase itf If by multiply ing pressure. (r ) That an v pretonca to create motive power by only mechanical means la monstrously absurd to every person ac quainted with tho laws of motion. Since writing my former letter to tbe Sun, I have been tlooded with Inquiries relative1 to my wonderful discovery. I wish to re peat, as a respectful lenly to those inquiries, that. I have made no discovery, and none is reuulred to do all that is hero stated, or all that has been reported us actually performed by tbe Keoly motor. Ono pound of pressure uny. hy the use of a lever, bo made to produce Ions of pressure. Ons footpound of power nitty, ihroimh oheru cal action, prodiwi Knit (mm of power. But to sny that ontt fiot piuiiil of mechanical piwer, or one pound of any other physiod ttiln, can within ttti!f aud nt itself, inereiiso Itself 11 hundred fold, is usierlliit.' nil effect without h outsit nro.itliig s'liunihliiir from notblug a HMll'ovlclant, universally admit ted impossibility.
