ARTS AND SCIENCES.

(From Chum/rers’.s Journal.)

We drew attention to the facts in a fornier inontli; and iuity add here, that the Chinese yam, introdiiccd as a substitute for the potato, will keep for five years without get-ininating; it does not stiller froin frost, and npearn to be superior to the potato in iiiost.ifriot all,rcspects. .\ cultivator in Paris got more than 50,000 sets in one ieeitsoiiz u. Stll1i1l'0lllCil'0 of ground suffices fir 20 sets; :ind it is said that the produce l'i-om one hectai-e amounts to 60,000 kilogram- l;)U:a‘——tIUlll)I0 that of the potato.

'l'he sin-r.-t sorgho also IIILS succeeded in the south of lhuiiice. Judging from present expe- rience, this plant appears destined to till up the gttp between latitude 4-} degrees and the sii_r_-;:ir-c.iiie bearing regions of the tropics. For- ty-t'our is the southern limit of proiitahle culti- vation of the beet-root; thus Fraiice may now produce sugar in both sections of her empire. Besides sugar. the sorgho gives iiburdaiice of ttlcoltol, a .~'pt'('.ic.~t of cider. one or two liquors, and iuoliisses convertible into ruin. The leaves and rcfiise cane are excellent food for cattle; and, ltl0l‘(‘.0\'(‘l‘, the plant has properties useful in tlycing, l-‘orty acres have been planted for the dyers of yous.

The Chinese pen. has been sown and come to

ori'eetion not only in France, but in Gerniany Swi-den, IIOIIJIIHI, and Italy. It is of an oleag- ini-us nature and yields twenty-live per cent. of oil superior in quality to rape or colza. The cake serves to fatten cattle; and in China and ﬁspan. this pea, reduced to ﬂour, and made into it kind oi (.'lIL’.CS(3, is eaten by millions of the poorer population. In addition to these impor- tant vegetables, there is a species of dry rice—— said to grow anywhere—the Corean bean, and it proliﬁc sort oi’ canar grass.

A dozen yaks were it so sent: these animals partake of the nature of the horse, ox. tau and goat. Their wool is adniirable. and can be shorn twice in the year. They inhabit moun- tains; and of the twelve, three have been kept in Paris. and the others placed in the Jam and other hill-districts, where they have alrend begun to breed. It is believed that the yak wi I prove valuable as a. beast of drought and bur-

cn. in addition to the worth ofits tleccc. And lastl , silk-woi-ins: the breed of these insects had so greatly «lcgenerated in France, that the sericulturi-its had to buy 12,000,000 francs’ worth of the egg,-_;s every year from Italy, to keep up their stocks. 'I‘liey will now have in the Chinese silk-woi-in ii. new and vigorous race.

Since the war broke out, the Admiralty have engraved iuid published It hundred sheets of maps of the Baltic, Black and White Seas, charts of the coasts and gulfs, &c.—giving better knowledge of those waters than ever we had before. They are sold with sailing directi- ons at it very cheap rate. Soundings and sur- veys are still going on in the unknown parts. The From-li have been for years engaged in a survey of the Mciliterranean, and have just made careful soiindings of the Gut of Giliraltar. ’I‘lic find it to be in some places more than 2000 feet deep. We are told that ii. sum of £6'i'77,000 is wanted to complete the Ordnance Survey of Scotland, and that, with an annual instalment of L.t30‘000, the work can be ac-* complished in ten years.

()ur plodding neighbours the Dutch have brought their stupendous task of draining the Lake of Ilaarlcni to a close b the sale of the last iarcels of land renlaiine . By pumping out t ie water, they gained 20,000 acres ot ex- cellent land, which [sold for 8,000,000 llorins. 'l‘lio cost of the work was 10,000,000. In a few years, all the outlay will be repaid, and it hand-i seine proﬁt will accrue. The success has re- vived that often debuted question—tho drain- ings of tho Zuydcr Zoe.

We conclude with it fact or two interesting to all who have ever stiller-ed from toothache. Mr. Blundell, a city dentist, by the ap lication of ice to the jaw, so (lt':ltIt‘l]S its sensibi ity,that ho extracts teotli without ain : and Dr. Roberts has described before the loyal Scottish Society ol'.\rts, his inothod ﬁir cuuterising the dental

ed. Ile applies a wire to the patient’s tooth; and heats it by means ol'a suiall Grove’s batta- ry. ‘ The advantages, ' he says, ‘ to be obtain- ed by this instrument at-c—its easy application to the desired spot in the mouth, and that pin‘- fectly told instead of alariiiing the patientby holding a red-hot iron before his face : its being at once raised to the requisite heat, and no more than the more point of the wire used be- ing heated; also from its being at once cooled on siriiply removing the linger from the spring.

S’I‘L‘Ai\I COl\tMU.\'l(JATl0N llE'l‘Wl-‘.l£.‘l PANA- MA AND AUs'rrtai.iA.—A scheme is now be- fore the ;_;overiioi- of New South Wales for a steam-packet coininunication between l’ariaina and Taliiti, with branch steam litres lwl\Vt:(.'ll Tahiti and Melbourne. Taliiti is to be the great entrcpot for the steam st-i-vice in the Pacific, and the ter- minus of the steamers from Australia and Punaina. The steamers will coal and the passengers be transshipped there. A diffe- rent class of steamers is to run between Patiaina and 'I‘aliiti from those running be- tween the latter place and Australia. The harbour of'I'aliiti is a beautiful basin, per- fectly protected by reefs, and decks could be formed there for a small outlay. La- bour is abundant and cheap there. \Vhen the steamer Golden Age touched at Tahiti to coal, 1,500 tons of coal were placed on board in sixty-ﬁve hours, and the expense of putting it on board was only 4s.2d. ii ton. It is calculated, that the voyage between

nerve, whereby i_i tooth may be stopped without pain, or ii. stump become a so rt for is new tooth ; while the use of arsenic, andthe ordina

intimidating mode of cauterisatioa, are avoi -

Australia and Tahiti could be made in thir- teen days, and between Tahiti and Panama in eighteen days. New York would by this scheme be brought within forty-ﬁve days of Australia and England within ﬁfty davs.

New INVENTION In Waitrarur.—It is under- stood that the late destruction at Sweaborg wan chieﬂy eﬁected by means of bombshells charged with a liquid combustible. We are informed that an invention precisely of the nature of these shells was communicated to Lord Hard- inge in April, 1854, by Mr. William Hutton, writer in Stirling. Ir. lIutton’s communica- tion was remitted to the consideration of the Board of Ordnance, with several others bear-in on the same subject; and so lately as the 29t August last. the thanks of the board were con- veyed to him for his invention. From the ac- counts supplied to their government b the authorities at Sweaborg, as to the operation of the shells charged with liquid, thrown into tho town b the British tleet, Mi-.Hutton is fully satisﬁe , that the Admiralty had adopted his suggestion. The etfects of these shells will

rohably soon be ex erienced at Odessa. Mr. llutton has, be e ieves, discovered another preparation for charging bombshells, of 9. na- ture so fear-fully destructive to human life that he has resolved not to divulge it. To the same gentleman were the government, it is said, chietly indebted for ruany useful hints with regard to alleviating the suﬂerings of the army in the Crimea during the course of the past winter.——Scat.iman.
