Sept 7, 1 - I? 3u? Marjy Inventions. Daring the past hundred years the In? ventars of Rhode Island have con? tributed largely to the perfection of tho machinery used in modem shops'and mills. Some of them have mere than a state or a national reputation, and tho value of their inventions has been recog? nized wherever power has been applied to machinery, both at home and abroad. The inventor of the slide lathe, Daniel Wilkinson, was a Rhode Island man, who, having made nothing out of his universally used device, was paid $10,000 by Congress a few years before his death because the government had adopted the mechanism for its shops. The inventor of the braiding machine was a native of this State, and like Wilkinson he lived to see others accumulate fortunes by manufacturing the machiae of his inven? tion. The builder of the first successful po w er loom introduced into Rhode Island mills was paid $1,500 for the machine that was invaluable to cotton manufac? turers, and enabled them to increase pro? duction to an incalcuable extent. There are others whose names are not familiar to the pnblic, although their inventions without material alterations have been universally employed upward of seventy ' years. One of these is Aza Arnold, a j pioneer manufacturer of Rhode Island I and an inventor whose name was perhaps j more prominent than that of any other man interested in cotton mills fifty years ago. Aza Arnold was the son of Benjamin Arnold, one of the Providence County people of that name, and Isabella, daugh? ter of Paul Greene, of Potowomut Neck. He was born at Pawtuoket in 1785, and learned the carpenter's trade with John Smith, of Wickford, but afterward was a > machinest, and in 1812 operated the But i terfly factory in company with George Smith, who was Mb uncle by marriage. Their business was making woolen blan? kets. At this time be invented the "end? less roving" for carding machines. Pre ! vious to this all roving was made by the \ cardiDg machines in short rolls, which had to be pieoed together in spinning. Fifty or sixty years ago there were - scat? tered over the country, wherever- there was a 1-borge water power, carding, ma? chines that worked up the farmers' wool into these short rolls of roving to be spun into a yarn on the farmer's band spinning ! machines. j At this data, 1812, owing to the war with England, it was impossible to im? port files, and he invented a machine for catting them, upon which files were made for their own use and for sale; but it was dropped at the close of the war, when it became possible to import them again. In 1818 he invented the "com pouad motion," or, as he called it, the "differential motion" mechanism for compounding two different motions or rates of Bpsed to produce a third rate that should be the constant differential of the two, however much they might change or differ. This was, as Zerah Colburn, the great arithmetician, expressed it, solving by mechanism an arithmetical problem that could not be solved by figures, because of their running into aeries of circulating decimals. This motion he applied to the speeder, a machine used to prepare cot? ton roving for spinning, and patented it in 1828. Its value was quickly appre? ciated, as it enabled the manufacturer to turn of three skeins where he formerly had two, and the quality of the products was improved almost in the same ratio. It> was testified in court by prominent manufacturers that it was worth to therm five dollars per annum. It was quickly adopted, and some Rhode Island manu? facturers paid a royalty, bat the Lowell and the Fall River companies refused, and suite were brought against them. After years of delay to send agents abroad to find if the invention was not previous? ly known there the cases came to trial. The objection of the opivoaition was that a negative expression in one part of the specification was not repeated in another j part, and Judge Story said to the counsel j for defense, "If that in your only objec? tion Mr. Arnold can surrender his patent and have that corrected, and come back here in two weeks ready to go on with the trial." Accordingly he surrendered his patent, but instead of receiving it back in two weeks it was held in the patent office for months, and in the meantime the whole code of patent laws known as the code of 1793 was repealed, and the new code of 1836 was passed, so that when his patent was returned it was under the new law, and haviDg no patent under the old law, he was cut off from entering suits for in? fringements under that law. He did not know the cause of this fatal detention of his patent in the office on til the latter part of his life. When he was a solicitor of patents in Washington he found in the archieves of the patent office a letter from the leading counsel for the defense in his caeo to the commissioner of patents saying, "Hold on to that patent Uli yon hear from me," referring to his b or ren? dered patent. This, which be had nevor tiuspected, fully explained to him how he had been defeated in hit seit by the chicanery of the lawyers. ! Benjamin Arnold, of East Greenwich, one of the Bons of Mr. Aza Arnold, is one of the best known of living Rhode Island inventors. Among his many inventions is a now system of gearing?which is in extensive use in many different forms?for gaining power at the expense of speed. This consists of an external gearwheel having an internal gearwheel having a greater number of teeth, the inner wheel being placed on an eccentric on the shaft no as to engage its teeth with those of tke outer gear at one tide, when the shaft and eccentrict revolved, one of the gearwheels being hold fast and the motion taken from the other. The gaia in power and reduction in speed is in inverse ratio to the difference in the number of teeth in the two wheels. Among the machines, invented by Mr. Arnold are a loom for woaving cloth on a bias, machines for making .will drills and mending stockiugi, a mariner's sig? nal compass, a circular loom and a ma? chine for the manufacture of interlocked cordage. All of these were practical, but his mcst successful invention was a ma? chine for making seines and nets for fishing. These were built ia a number of ways, and the first patents were sold to a Baltimore firm in 1861. Since the expiration of the patents Mr. Arnold has built these machines for American and foreign manufacturers, shipments having been made to Baltimore, Chicago, Rich? mond, North Carolina, O u.gow, Rcuv laud, and Barcelona, Spain. Theidtas I embodied in the netting machine are j entirely original with Mr. Arnold, and a ' single machine with a girl to attend it will produce more netting in a day than can be turned out by forty hand kaitters. ?Providence Journal AgQ of the Earth. At the recent meeting of the British association a discourse was delirered by the president, Sir Archibald Gerkie, ou one of the moit interesting problem! in modern Bcience?the age of the world. Over a century has elapsed since James Hutto wrote his "Theory of the Earth," which was the first attempt to formulate a chronology of creation in accordance with the discoveries of science; since then knowledge has made vast strides, and his followers have access to a mass of information which he did not possess. Flayfair and Kelvin improved upon his work, and now Gerkie and the school to which ho belongs have gone beyond them. Geologist hare ascertained that the rate at which erosion takes place can be measured; by applying their scale to the sedimentary rocks they have formed a hypothesis as to the time which has elapsed einee erosion began. To put the proposition in simpler language, the sur? face of the globe is constantly wearing away under the influence of water and wiad. The portions which are worn off are carried down to the sen or iato hol? lows, where they are deposited and form sedimentary rooks. If we can ascertain how long it takes to form a sedimentary rock we can figure out when the progress of wearing away aad redepositiag began. Sir Archibald states that on a reason? able computation the stratified rocks at? tain an average thickness of 100,000 feet. The material of which they consist was all washed down from high plane*, de? posited aid left te stratify. By the in? spection of river bsnks it is found that in places the surface of the land which h?e been carried down as sediment in riven has been reduced at the rate of a foot in 780 years, while in other places, where the land was more stubborn or less flexible, it has taken 6,800 years to lower the surface one foot. The deposit must be equal to the denudation. Thus we find that while seme of the sedimen? tary rocks have grown a foot in 780 years, others have taken 6,800 years to rise that height. Thus the period of time that was required to build up 100, .000 fest of sedimentary rock has varied according to locality from 73,000,000 years to 680,000,000 years. It follows that the active work of creation lasted for a cycle intermediate between these two figures. The cycle varied with endless succession of periods of disturbaace by volcanic force and glacial action, and the frequent submersion of dry land, alter? nating wit Sh the emerging of contents ont of the seas. These may have retarded the growth of sedimentary rocks, but j they cannot have accelerated it. A study of fossils teaches the steady uniformity with which the work of crea i tion proceeded. Since man begau to observe thsro has beea no change in the foruir of animal and vegetable life. A few species have disappeared?not one new species has been evolved. Not only do we find the fauna and flora of ancient Egypt as despicted on monuments which are probably 8,000 or 10,000 years old identical with those which arc found in that country to-day, but sheik which in? habited our seas before the ice age and grew in an ocean whose bed overlay the Bocky mountains are preciaely the same species that are found in the Bay of Monterey and the waters of the Chesa? peake. It: is evident that there has been no essential change in the conditions of life since these animals and these vegeta? bles were first created, yet how vast the shortest period which we can assign to the gap that divides us from that remote epoch I Little by little the geologist is lifting the veil which . covers the prehistoric record of our planet. The era which preceded the age of civilized man, with its vast rivers carrying down diluvial floods to the ocean, and the bursting forth of mountain ranges from contrac? tions of the earth's crust has been painted to tie life. But no one has exeroiBed his pencil on that preceding age, when the forests made way for dumps of stunted bircL and willow, incessant snowfalls covered the plains, glaciers crept down from the north, and gradually a vast sheet of ioe half a mile thick drove man? kind, with the mammoth and the rein? deer, to those fortunate regions which, like California, escaped the agony of the last ice age. Nor have wo any distinct perception of thet subsequent age when the ice melted or reoeded to the pole, or dense tropical jingle grew up in the morasses it had left, swamps stealing with tropi? cal heat ewarmed with uncouth batra chiaa and reptile life, treaa of monstrous growth shed their shad over shiny pools and black eoze, and in the distance long mountain ranges whose fontanel had not yet closed, poured a never ceasing flood of lava dewn their sides. This is a page of history which is yet to be written, but the materials are accumulating, and the historian will not be long wantiag.?San FrcmcMoo Call. Sou'then Industrial Independence. "I'll toll you what I think this country noeds," said a genial old lady, laying down the small stocking she was darn? ing. "It needs to go back to the shifts and ingenuities of the war times. Be? fore the war we depended on the North for everything, and had done it eo long that we thought we had to do it; but when the war came and our source of supplies was ont off, we found that we could get along very well. During those four years the South was independent; and they were the only years of indepen? dence this country has aver known. We spun and wove and made cur own clothes, and got our dyestufiij out of the woods, and tanned the leather and made our shoes; and bleaohed straw or palmet? to and wove our hats. Our workmen found out, then, that they could take timber from our woods and make ex? cellent wagons, plows and wheelharrsws; and in fact there was scarcely anything that we didn't make in those days. But just as soon as the war was over we shut up shop and patronized the Northern manufactories again. That was tbo sil? liest thing we ever did. Haviug found out how to go alone, we should have kept on going alone, and this country would be more prosperous."? Texas Home Corner. ? There is a village on the Northern Pacific RsIIrnad which has fifty-four in habitants ar.d two churches, both Prea byleri a, War Telegraphing. The Union army in 1862 lay camped on the north bank of the Rappahannock, opposite what'was to be to the Union sol? diers the disastrous field of Fredricks burg. On the bank of the river in the extreme front of the Union line, stook the house of Mrs. Gray, a long, rambling stone building, whose front of three stories faced the river. The roof sloped steeply towards the rear, while the atone side was but one story high. Mrs. Gray, herself an elderly widow, received the Union advance with every demonstration of welcome, and in the course of time it became a favorite rendezvous for young officers. A prime cause for this, aside from Mrs. Grey's cheerful hearth and good fare, was the beauty of her daugh? ter Sallie, a brunette of perhaps twenty years. A young lieutenant was badly wounded by these batteries, and spent all bis spare time at the feet of the fair Southerner, who professed much sympa? thy with the Union cause. Late one rainy night a Bentinel, pacing back and forth before the stone front of the Gray House, heard a faint but sharp noise cutting the air. It sound? ed like the click of a telegraph instru? ment, and it seemed to come from beneath his feet. Greatly perplexed he called to the sergeant of the guard. They listen? ed carefully and were presently joined by the gallant lover of Sallie Gray. Con? viction of treachery smote his heart, and with the sergeant he unceremoniously en? tered the Gray dwelling. Sallie and her mother, despite the late hour, were busi? ly sowing by a table in the sitting-room The ladies rose in apparent surpise and indignation at the intrusion. "Step aside if you pleaso," said the sergeant. "What does this mean?" asked Mrs. Gray sharply. "Frank, I appeal to you for protec? tion," cried the young lady to the lieu? tenant. That officer could only shake his head and sternly wave her aside. "You are false. You have deceived me," he said hoarsely, as the girl who had promised to be his bride sank nob? bing upon a sofa. The soldiers could hear the ticking more plainly now. They moved the ta? ble, lifted the carpet, and discovered a trap door leading to a cellar of whose existence they had no suspicion. A light below was instantly quenched, but ! they fearlessly descended and discovered a telegraph instrument, with an insula? ted wire running through the cellar wall, and evidently passing under the river, to the enemy on the opposite side. Grouching in the corner w&s the opera? tor, a youne and handsome man, who had never before been seen about that house, having lived for days in the cel? lar. "You are my prisoner," from the sergeant, brought the distressed wail from poor Sallie of "My husband, oh, my husband." The heart of the Union lieutenant went back once more to the girl he left behind him. But notwithstanding the detection of this line of communication, the enemy seemed to know every movement of the Uuion troops. It was a mystery to the officers how they gained their knowl? edge. There were no more telegraph wires, and there was no passing across the river. At last the mystery was solved. Within the Union lines, but in sight of the enemy, there stood a low frame house occupied by a negro who did washing for the soldiers. He h^ng his clothes to dry in the front yard; but it was noticed that in the porch there hung three flannel Bhiits; one red, one white and one blue. The negro said they were his Union colors. But the shirts were not always in the same posi? tion, and a suspicious sergeant finally became convinced that the negro used them to signal across the Bappahannock. The arrest of the negro and the effectual use of the shirt to deceive instead of to inform the enemy, followed. At another time the army of the Po? tomac, was nearing Berlin, Virginia. To receive orders in the rear, the troops had laid ten miles of insulated wire running through the woods, now be? neath the leaves and again among the tree-tops. It was impossible to picket the entire line, and a large part of it was exposed ; but it was thought to be effect? ually concealed. A scout lying in am? bush one day heard a sound like the ticking of a clock. Creeping forward he was astonished to see a "Johnny" in his gray uniform, Bitting on the ground and chuckling to himself and busily writing. The scout sprang to his fees and levelling his revolver, said to the laughing rebel: "What are you doing there?" "I surrender," was the cha? grined reply, the smiles suddenly disap? pearing. The scout discovered that the rebel had cut the wire and had connec? ted the ends with a loop running into a clock, the electricity securing the escape? ment, so that the messages ticked them? selves plainly into the rebel's ear. The ingenious machine was captured with the rebel.?Philadelphia Prm. Obedient Children. A short time since I visited at a bouso where the family consisted of grandpa? rents, psrenU, and wvural small children. I was struck with the uncommonly quiet end orderly beha?i'?r of the latter. They were quietly busy without b?ing boisterous. They did not interrupt thai/ parents while thay were talking and if they were spokat to about their deport ment they at onco gave head to v/aat was said. The visitor's handbag, remained unmolested, nor were their wr?ps tried on, an is often the cesa. It was u con? tinual pleasure to soe the youngsters' amiable activity. In thinking of thi subject afterwards, I concluded that the children were so well-bred because thoy were always npoken ta gently aod kindly by their parents. It was said that the old grand fathsr, nearing eighty ysars of age, had never b*en known U speak harshly to or scold one of the grandchildren whom he loved. If ha spoke to them they wore treated a* ladies and gentlemen and behaved as such. The kind word and the reward for it went together. Why can not all paronts see the mutter in this light and act accordingly 1?Rural New Yorker. ?

Sonny. The following atory is told of Dr. John Finley, of Kentucky: The ?octor is rather a small man, a'ud was traveling in com? pany with Col. Crocket Bayers, late TJ. 6. Assessor for tho sixth district of Ken? tucky. Crocket, aa everybody calls him, is one of those whole-souled, jolly fel? lows, always ready to play a joke upon any one, can draw the scales to o?er three hundred pounds. Thoy had neg? lected to secure sleeping biirtbs before startling; so when they arrived at tbe depot, but one berth remained unsold. With all due politeaess, each offered to surrender his claims to the other; both declining, but agreed to occupy it togeth? er. It was a tight squeeze, but they both "turnod in." An hour or two passed, in which neither of them could go to sleep; co Crocket dotermined to get up and take a smoko. This was a happy relief to tbe doctor. He turned his face over to the wall, and was soon fa?t asleep. The train in the meantime hod stoppfd at a small station, and an elderly female got aboard. Her figure was almost on a par wish that of the colonel's. She was in no way backward in denouncing railroads, their employees, and everybody who would travel on them. When she learned that all the berths bad been taten, tbe "mutt lay down, for the was nigh dead !" This was a glorious moment for Crocket. Wink? ing at the conductor, he politely offered to surreudor to her his berth, provided she had no objections to sleop with his "little boy." Of courto she had none. She hsd "raised seven, and was the grandmother of as many moro." She thanked bim very kindly, pulled off her shoes and other fixins, and "piled in." The doctor was sleeping soundly, but be? fore day he became quite restlos?. The old lady very motherly pitted him on the head, sayiag "Lay still, sonny, your papa will sooa be here; go to sleep, you precioui," and other similar epithets, which the doctor, ?a soon aa he became fully swskc, know it did not emenato irom hia friend, tho colonel. Realizing his position, he bounded over the old lady and made tracks for ths .'ear end of the car. She screamed, and in a mo? ment everybody was up, thinking, per? haps, that something had happened, The joke was explained, tho passengers laughed, Crocket was forced to boat a hasty rstrext, in order to keep olear of the clutches of the old woman, while Dr. Jus Icy sheepishly stole ioto tbe forward car, and did not show himself again un? til the train ru&cued Cincinnati. Housing Church Sleepers. In the olden time Church services were bo long?prayers, hymas and aermons? that it it uu wouder that many of tho hard urorkwi people in tho congregations could nut keap awake. Both in the Old World and in the new various devices were resorted to for the purpose of ban? ishing sleep from the Church. Among thaae wat not the modern one of making the services short and interesting. Our English fathers tried several methods of breaking up the offensive practice. One method was that known as "bobbing," a term thus explained by a writer in Notes and Queries: "My mother can remember Betty Finch, a very masculine sort of a woman, being the 'bobber' at Holy Trinity Church in the year 1810. She walked very majestically along the aisles during divine service, armed with a great, long stick like a fishing rod, which had a bob fastened to tbe end of it, and when she caught any sleeping or talking they got a 'nudge.'" Dr. Thirwall, Bishop of St. David's, gives in on of his "Letters" an amusing account of a Kerry custom for awaken? ing Bleepers in Church: "It ia by ancient custom a part of the sexton's duty to perambulate the Church during the service time, with a bell in his hand, to look carefully into every pew and whenever he find? anyone doz? ing to ring the bell. "He discharges his duty, it is said, with great vigilance, intrepidity and im? partiality, and consequently with the happiest effect on the congregation, for as everybody ia certain that if he or ehe gives away to drowsiness tho fact will be forthwith made known through the Church by a peal which will direct all eyes to the sleeper, the fear of such a visitation it almost always sufficient to keep everyone on the alert." Can Insects Talk? A striking instance of the possession of a capability of spreading intelligence, and that of a somewhat abstruse character, is furnished by experiments that have been made by H?bet and others upon boss. Every one is aware that the queen bee is an object of the greatest solicitude and attention to all workers of tbe hive, and yet, among so many thousands, all busily employed in different and distant parti of tho colony, it would appear im? possible for them to ascertain, at least before the lapse of a considerable time, whether she was absont from among them or not. Iu order to see whether boes had any power of oonreying nowt of this kind, the quoen bee has been stealthily end qniotly abttracted from thohivo; but hero, as eltewhero, ill news was round to fly apace. For some half hour or so the low seemed not to have been atcertainsd, but the pnogrestively in? creasing buzz of agitation gradually ao nounoed the growing aUurm, uutil short? ly the whole hive was in an uproar, aad all its busy occupants were nws pouring forth their legions in search of their lest monarch, or eager to avenge with their stings the intuits offered to their sover? eign. On restoring the captured quoeu to her Bubjecta, with equal secrecy, the tumult speedily subsided, and the ordi? nary business of the community was re? sumed, SB before the occurrence.
