A novel application of the caloric engine is
noted. By means of compressed air, forced into
a tank by the motive engine, power is instantan-
eously transmitted through long distances, im-
practicable to either belts or snafting. The en-
gine may be placed in the most eonvenieut point,
however remote from the work, if simple con-
nected by a common gaspipo for the conveyance
of air. Machinery located in any part of tlie
building can thus be driven simple bj- col] air,
without a chance of accident from fire, explosion,
or any froak of the elements.

caisebut writes very good English has sent an
article to a New York paper, on the subject of a
rumored reform in the dress of ladies in Europe.

treme simplicity for going to church in, avoiding

tainments. She says that thero is Dothing netv
in this: that a refined French lady, when she
goes to church, generally wears a dress of quite,
sober color, and her bonnet is the aatne she wears
for shopping or making calls. Xny other style
of dres3 would at once associate her in the pub-
lic eyes, with a portion of womankind unname-
able and not habitually found in churches. She
further adds that many American ladies in Fans
are ridiculed for their extravagance in dress whan
they are going to church.
