IMPROVEMENTS IN THE USE OF STEAM. (I-‘roia flu Scisiiliylc Jsievicun.)

Our constant readers will remember that we published on page 24, Volume 5. “ Scientific American," the Report of the Rumfovd Com- mittee of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. at Cambridge, Mass, of which Prof. Hoefcrd was Chairman, on the alleged discovery of new ropertieii in steam, by the late James I-‘root, ti Broolilyn.

Count Rumford left a sum of money to Harvard University, directing the interest thereof to be distributed to any discoverer of new and uscfii properties of heat, and Mr. Frost submitted his invention to the faculty of the University claiming the honorary reward. The discovery claimed was new properties asserted to he s aired by steam when heated spartfrom water. he University

turned the subject over to the Rumford Committee ,

named, which ignored the claims cfthe discoverer in s curt manner. On pages 179 and 195, same Volume “Sci. Am." we illustrated Mr. Frost's experiments, and brought the subject prominently before the public. A patent had been enied in Washington, but one was obtained in England, and E, K, (Toning, Esq.. after some experiments made for his own satisfaction, paid the discoverer some consideration for its use. On the 25th of May, I853, C. E. and S. Wethered. of the city of Baltimore. obtained a intent for the use of com- mon steam and super ested steam (Frost's “ Stn‘me,”) in combination, for actnstiiig engines. thus showing that the Patent Oflice had become more liberal in its management. it being for some years before notoriously tyrannical and despotic. With Mr. Frost's discovery and the invention of the Messrs. Wethered. a new impulse, it is stated, is about to be given to steam navigation, whcreb an entire revolution in the saving of fuel is to be e cc important operations have been going on for eomc time in the Collins’ steamer “ Arctic,” for thc purpose, we understand, of using slam: and etesm combined, instead of simple steam, as here- tofore. A portion of steam. after being generated in the boiler, is carried by pipes through the furnaces, when it becomes slame, and from thence passes to the steam chest, to be mixed with an equal portion of simple steam, before it enters the cylinders and actuate: the pistons. It is asserted. that by this means a saving of at least forty per cent. of fuel will be effected, amounting to no less than $62, per annum to the Company. These changes in the principle of operating the engines of the “Arctic,” have not been hsetil undertaken. Through the spirit and liberslity of Mr. Collins, a series of experiments were made to test the merits of this inventiu in this city, in the months of November and January last, upon a scale, reasonable in itself, to settle the question in all its bearings. 'l‘lic first experiments were made with a stationary high pressure engine, kept by Mr. Collins for such purposes, and were perfectly satisfactory; but it was resolved to test the invention on a larger and more practical scale, and for this purpose the tug steamboat “ Jose h Johnson” was procured and fitted up on the Rive with the tubes running from the boiler through the furnaces, to convey and super- l_it-at it portion of steam and conduct it to the cylinder, where it was mixed witll an eqiisl portion of simple steam. B this arrangement the simple and super-hes steam (sttrrne) could be used singly, or combined, and they were thus tried. From tables kept by D. ll. Msrtin.En- uinecr-in-Chief U. S. N., and furnished to B. F. lsherwood. Chief Engineer. who communicated a paper on the subject to our respected contempo- rsry, the “ Journal of the Fruiiklin lnstituie,’6 it appears that the economy of using the simple and eupcr-hcuterl steam combined, was 53; per cent. over the use of simple stesiri. This was less than by the stationary engine. in which the gain was 2 er cent. in saving fuel.

0 information has been fiirniehed respecting the economy of using super-heated steam (rlamel alone, although we have been informed that it is intended to use it in this state in the “ Arctic.” It appears to us that a portion of moisture in the steam (swine and steam mixed) must be more profitable than the slums alone. Steam in its na- ture is it partial lnbricator. and llltlfil make it piston play more use:-ti) in is cylinder than‘ «try super- 'l'lie l|l|(ll heat and tlryiii-so inf stame, in licking up oil and injuring the packing, are also objections to its use, (these are also iii- supersble obstacles to the use of hot air as a nio- tive agent),-and on it long voyage. we think, it would be objectionable. but the " Arctic” will determine this question fully. And here let us say, that although is sound judgment and scien- tific knowledge may reasonably lead mt'll to form a very correct opinion of what may he the results; still, it is experiment, fairly and fully tried. not for a day nor an hour, but for weeks and months, that can alone settle the whole of the economical questioneinvolved—Iiio| being but one of them. We hope and trust, however. that the inventicii will prove to be perfectly succeest'ul,and if so, we iiiiiirvipaitc an increased spec in our Atliiiitic sieanu.-rs. Thus if the saving of fuel iimoiint to fifty per cent.-as the con.-um tion of coal is now about eighty tons per day. an a voyage ten days —no less than four hundred tnns of frciiilit-- dead weight-will be saved, which ought to shorleii the voys e one day at least. Viewing this question in II he bearings, and looking viith hope to new and important achievements in ocea navigation, we csiinoi but lament that soliiti credit has been given to the man who brought the subject before the public, and whose mind first conceived the project of heating stesai apart from water for iuotivs purposss:—wc allude to the late Mr. Frost.

nanfiac IN BEHALF or me JEWS IN THE HOLY LAND.

A meeting was held on Wednesday last, in Trinity Chapel School-room, John-street, Edg- waro road, for the purpose of receiving the report ofa committee a pointed ata previous inectin ,in aid of the distressed Jews in the East. rho chair was occupied by Sir Harry Goring. Bart.

After devotional exercises,

The Rev Mi-.Isn.aos read the report of the oomniittee, which stated that Sir Moses Monte- fiore and respectfully declined the offer of reoeivng is deputation on the subject of afford- icf to the Jews, and that donations from

Christian bodies, as such, on

declined. with expressions of deep gratitude

for the roffered sympathy and aid. l The v. R. H. lgerschcllj mpvodi urcsolution, ex ressin s t wit t e estitute con- ditlion cfgtheymigivsyin the Holy Land, and eppointin ii. committee to receive and dispense any contri utions entrusted toit for the purpose of alleviating their distress. He drew attention to the circumstance, that Jews and Gontilos united to other in compnssing and effecting the

oath of esue Christ, ii. Jew; an that now. after a period ofncarly 1,900 years, almost all the nations of Europe professed and called on the name of that once despised Nazarene. lie then commended the resolution to the meeting, and solicited subscriptions for the object con- tiem lntetl b it.

'1‘ e Rov. Kfr. Gi-ainger seconded the resolu- tion, and reminded the meeting of the obligation under which Christians especially were to interest themselves in the cause of the Jews, and to promote their temporal as well as their spiritual welfare. -

he Rev. Mr. leases moved the following resolution: “ Tliat, considering is remarkable opportunity is afforded by the present state of‘ Syria for obtaining the possession of land in that country, this meeting resolves that the committee now appointed be empowered to prepare the rospectue ofa com ny for car- rying into e ct that object, as well as for the establishment of an agricultural school and an industrial fisrm, for converted Jews." lIe read a letter written to a member of the Com- initteo of the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jcws, by it lllissiomiry of the Society at Cairo, describing the trials to which converted Jews in the East were sub- 'cted; and oxpressin an o iniou that the

st remcdv would be the establishment of a colony of ewe in the land c_f their forefathers.

Sir Culling Eardlcy seconded the resolution, and congratulated the meeting on the position in which the subject stood. He did not say that the unconverted Jews were wron ' declining the aid which had been offered, but he believed they (the meeting) had ut them- selves in the right in making the 0 er. They had shown that they did not wish to make movie the means of prose! tiein—(liear, hear.) —-an hereafter, ifit shou d be said that either of the parties concerned had hesitated in the matter, that could not be said of the Cliristinns. He (Sir C. Eiirdlcy) had had very gratifying com- munications with Sir Moses Montstiore; and he would much rather have to do with that class of Jews popularly called bi cited than those supposed to be more rations. and moderate. He believed the project proposed in the resolu- tion to be is feasible one: and he could not help thinking theta civilised occupation of is portion of'Syi-in would be, as ecislly at the resent time. hailed with do iglit by tho cstern Powers. But he ho d the project would be begun modestly, an that nothing would be attempted which could not he tlioroug‘lily carried out into pgtctice. He hoped that ilr Herschel] would one ofa few who would go to the Hol Land to exuniine and report on the fiicilitics r establishing a colony like that snggestfl. If the present your witnessed the commencement of such a project, it would not bcone of the smallest or most insignificant results of the ear 1854. (Hear, hear.)

The Rev. R. I. llerscliell said he had resolved on a tour in the East licforo nny wish had been t'9X[lI‘l",rl§('ll tlinl llf‘ sliniilil go tliitlit-r in «--nint-,t-,- tiun with the proposed pt'tt_lN‘t. lie hiiii soen Lord Sliaftcsbury on the subject. and his lord- ship thought that the best pltin would he to purchase as British property on portion of the land which the mi t be ab e to eccure.

(Mr. llcr-echo l) a mold object to the establishment ofanythin like it pniipcr insti- tution, which would be degrading to his brethren in the Exist. The whole concern should bcputon it thoroughly business footing. The plan lie should suggest would be to forni n Joint-stock Coinpnny, and that £5 shares should be issued to raise n on ital of—sny, about £5,000. He thought the sum could ciisilybe procured in tlic wny he proposed. He pro need leaving in about a month, and before lic went he should like to have seine idea of the number ofshiircs which would be taken in the proposed scheme. He hoped he oflllollld be spared to can out the olijcct satisfactorily.
