These people al ways planted willows or a tree similar to the willow along the b.inks of Ibeir canls. It was upon those "willows" andatung tbe banks ot the stnalltrtrrieating canals that tbe children also be intelligent and enlightened men, and energelio men. If thus they be, their work will tell. Bnt tbe end is not yet. Oar progress in agriculture bring continually new problems. The sir to dity is fall of the notes of hardship which embarrass oar industry in many ways. These mast be swept away. We have beaten The Genesis of Architecture and En gineering. Architecture ond engineering, until within a comparatively recent period, mingle at so many loDg yers of their captivity, ' The farmer who relaxes any effort to possess it noints that thov can scarcely bo said to have The Assyrians, also, constructed large irrlgn- and to spread its influence is not true to the .

Hence the slowly accum ulated results of tho experienco of tho early centuries was altogether lost during the politi cal and dynastio revolutions which preceded the glory of Greece and Home; and but little of the wisdom of oven those later empires has survived the wanton destruction of the dark ages which succeeded their dowofall. Passing by tho early attempts at design and construction, which merely supplied the neces sities of man, architecture and engineering I doubtless had their origin in ancient Egypt, and were carried from thence (o Ghaldea and Babylonia, afterwards passing into Greece, Carthage and Borne, and finally through Asia and across the Northern plains of America, down tho Mftsifsippi valley to Central and South America. The Egyptians have It ft no record of bow tbey accomplished their difficult works of transport and lilting. Neither have any of their successors, save tho Bo i nun, from whom we have derived but faint and imperfect ideas. The Egyptians must by Borne means have lifted vertically into place obelisks weighing upwards of 400 tons. They transported, from a 'considerable distance, at least in one in stancethe statue of Barneses the Great a stone block which weighed over 800 tons; while a block still lies in one of their quarries squared and evidently intended for transportation en tire, which weighs not less than 1,135 tons! In India stones weighing 25 and 30 tons are found forming pyramidal roofs, at a bight of 70 and 80 feet from tho ground. Similar weights, but not at so great a hight, were lifted in Persiopolis, during tho reigns of Xerxes and Darius. The early Chiueso appear to have been more careful of their strength or more lacking in skill; for although they moved very heavy blocks for building their bridges, which are almost always permanent structures of stone, they took cure to have them only of moderate dimensions. But tho Peruvians, whoso an cestors the Western mound builders must have come over from Asia, brought with them much architectural and engineering skill, for wo And that thuy employed blocks of from 15 to 20 tons, which they must have carefully lifted and fitted with the greatest nicety in their well designed work. The onl modern effort at moving such exces sively heavy blocks is in tbo c6e of that which now forms the baso of the statue of Peter the Great, at St, Petersburg, in Bussia, which weights 1,200 tons. There can be no doubt that people who were capable of erecting such works as have come down to us from ancient Egypt must have posossed a large amount of engineering and mechanical knowledge. Those neonle were Dvramid and temnlo builders for at feast (en centuries, as we know from un-, flnnVttAil vaaiviId (lint lifivn linan iiaa(iiTn,l t..1 ' bill, and building dams of solid masonrv b I wnicn to take trie water out ol their swift Mow ing rivers. 1 he irrigating and immense navigable canals of China, miuy of them built in very early a&es, still exist, as uo their immense walls, bridges and aqueduct. How were engineers educated who con structed those immense works, and what were the instruments and appli inces with which luvy ffero riiaujuu m aui'uujimiu llieiur ive i know that tbe Egyptians at least bad Borne J knowledge of surveying, for an ancient author i tells us that tbey had mapi on which they re corded their marches. Becent researches in Assyria have also made us acquainted with the fact that the Assyrians had, among their titled men, a "Lord of Canals" and the "Kstablisher of Irrigation Works." The magnificent anucducts. tunnels. roa!s ftLd works of difente of the Romans and Ettrnscans are familiar to us in their ruins and in history, which assure us that the art of en gineering was well understood by those under whose direction tbey were constructed; bat all knowledge of modes of designing and 'methods and appliances for construction have been lost to the world. The genesis of architecture and engineering dates far back into the early his tory ot man. now many centuries were re quired to arrive at the degree of perfection made by the cotemporaries of Abraham we know not; but we do know that very little prog ress was made from that time for nearly 2 000 years afterwards, and that wbat was gained during the supremacy of Greece and Borne was lost quite as speedily as it was' won. Modern engineering dates from the revival of the arts and sciences in tbe 12th and 13th cen turies, and will form the subject of another chapter in a future issue of the Piu..m. S. F.

That they had a knowledge of iron and steel has been of late years well sub stantiated. That tho Assyrians at least were acquainted with tho pulley is known from the fact that one of their tablets recently exhumed shows a man drawing water, ns if from a well, over a single pulley block. If tbe single pulley was known, why not tbe double and compound One of the late news notes of great import ance to the wheat grower of the United States is a whine from the Chamber of Commerce in Odessa, embodied in these words: "The mind is positively lo-t in painful thought when con sidering the quantity of corn America will soon bo enabled to export. America will absolutely command the English market, and reduce prices to o mininum, with which it will be utterly im possible for us to compete." Thus it appears that tbe trade authorities in Odessa, Russia's great wheat shipping point, virtually yield to America the palm of conquest in the contest to supply the English demand for breadstuff. Nor is this a matter of antici pation alone. Tho course of events is so well under way in this direction that thejresult may be clearly seen. The following are the gloomy figures upon which the Russians base their ex pectation of disaster: Of the entire quantity of grain imported into England in 16G7, ii per cent, came from Russia, while only H per cent, was contributed by the United States.

Prussia. Austria, Victoria, Peru, Bu-sia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den murk, ltalv. Portugal. Cuba. Roman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New Grenada, Chili, Argentine Republic, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where Patents are obtainable. No models are required in European coun tries, but the drawings and specifications should be prepared with thoroughness, by able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and changes of foreign patent laws agents who are reliable and perma nently established. Our sohedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and in some instances lower, than those of any other responsible agency. We can and do get foreign patents for inventors in the racino states lrom two to six monins (according to the location of the country sooneb than any other agents. The principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still being done, through our agenoy. We are familiar with, and have full records, of all former cases, and can more directly judge of the and patentability of inventions discovered here than any other agents. Situated bo remote from the seat ol goverment, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacific Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be lost by extra time consumed in trans mining specifications from Eastern agencies back to this coast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential. We take great pains to preserve seorecy in all confidential matters, and applicants for pat ents can rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held strictly confidential by us. Circulars free. Home Counsel. Our long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us with the character of most of the inventions already patented; hence we ore frequently able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless application by pointing them to the same thing already covered by a patent. We are always free to advise applicants of any knowledge we have of previous applicants which -will interfere with their obtaining a patent. We invite the acquaintance of all parties con nected with inventions and patent right busi ness, believing that the mutual conference of legitimate business and professional men is mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to their rights as assignees of patents, or pur chasers of patented articles, can often receive advise of importance to them from a short call at our office. Remittances of money, made by individual in ventors to the Government, sometimes mis carry, and it has repeatedly happened that applicants have not only lost their money bnt their inventions also, from this cause and consequent delay. We hold ourselves re sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency Engravings. We have superior artists in our own office, and all facilities for producing fine and satisfac tory illustrations of inventions and machinery, for newspaper, book, circular and other printed illustrations, and are always ready to assist patrons in bringing their valuable ,is ooveries into practical and profitable use.
