grounds of your claim, and the nature of your discovery?" . , " That is the object of my visit, he replied.. " I claim to have discovered the key winch unlocks the constituent gases of water, and frees each from the embrace of the other, at a single touch." . . , » You wean to assert," I rejoined, "that you can make water burn itself up ? ' «Nothing more nor less,' he responded, 1 " except- this—to insist upon the consequences of tli» spcret if my demand be not at once complied with. 'iuen, without pausing for a moment to allow me to make a suggestion, as I once or twice attempted to do, he proceeded in a clear and deliberate manner, in these words: "I need not, inform you, sir, that when this earth ■was created it consisted almost wholly of vapor, which by means of condensation finally became w«ter. The oceans now occupy more than two-thirds of the entire surface of the globe. The continents are mere islands in the midst of the seas. They aro everywhere ocean bound, and the hyperborean north is hemmed in by open nolur sea?. Such is my first pro position. Mv second embraces the constituent elements of water. What is that thing which we call water ? Chemistry, that royal queen of all the sciences, answers readily, ' Water is but the combination of two gases, oxygen and hydrogen, and in the proportion of eight to one.' In other words, in order to form water, take eight parts of oxygen and. one ot hydro gen mix them together, and the result or product is water. You smile, sir, because, as you very properly think, these are the elementary principles of science, and jre familiar to the minds of every schoolboy twelve years of age. Yes! but what next? Suppose you take these same pases, and mix ihem in any other proportion, I care not what," and the instantaneous result is heat, flame, combustion of the intensest description. The famous I-rummond light, that a few years ago astonished Europi - vvl.iit is that but the ignited flame of a mixture of oxygon and hydrogen projected against a small piece of lime ? What was harmless as wnter becomes the most destructive of all known objects when decomposed and mixed in any other propor °"'jNT ow suppose I fling the contents of this small phial into the Pacific Ocean, what would be the result, ? Dare you contemplate it for an instant ? Ido not assert that the ent ire surface ofthe sea would instantaneously bubble up into insufferable flame ; no, but from the nucleus of a circle, of which this phial would be the centre, lurid radii of flames would gradually shoot out ward, until the blazing circumference would roll in vast billows of fire, upon the uttermost shores. Not all the dripping clouds of the deluge could extinguish it. Not all the tears of saints and angels could for an injfetant check its progress. On and onward it would sweep, with the steady gait of destiny, until the con tinents would melt with fervent heat, the atmosphere glare wtyh the ominous conflagra tion, and "all living creatures, in land,1 and tea, and air, perish iv one universal catastrophe." Then suddenly starting to his feet, he drew himself up to his full height, and murmured solemnly, " I feel like a God ! and 1 recognise my fellowmcH hut a3 pigmies that I spurn beneath my feet!" (To be. continued) , ; !

RECREATIONS. By D.M.

wo. r.

A CHAPTKR OF BLUUDEBS AND MISTAKES.

By far the most common form of typo graphical blundering is the insertion of one letter in place of another. JS ot long since a newspaper, reporting the danger that an express train had ruu iv consequence of a cow getting upon the line, said—"As the safest way, the engineer put on full steam, dashed up against the cow, and literally cut it into calves I" Some farmers would no doubt be glad to know when that engineer is to be on the road again. Dr. Kobertson, of Irvine, told me that his lecture on German: Student Life was originHlly entitled " Bur?chen i ife in Germany," but a bill-printer on one occasion had it up on the walls as "Buck skin life in Germany ;" and fhe'Doctor thought it 'better'afterwards to keep to words that printers could under&tand. Such mistakes, however, are not always the fault of the compositor. 'Ihey fre quently arise from illegible writing on the part of those who supply "copy," or from reporters failing to catch the exact words used by the speaker. John Bright whs generally iieard with perfect distinctness to the farthest corner of the House; but on one occasion, when he spoke of " atlenders of clubs," these aristocratic gentlemen appeared in the report as " renders of gloves !" Another orator, speaking of the Italian struggle, said— "What do the Italians want? They simply want to be a nation." " What do the Italians want?" said the newspaper report, "They simply want to be in Asia!"

Indistinctness of utternnce is a source of confusion to many besides, reporters. A clerical friend in Lancashire told me that he had got a wholesome warning in regard to pulpit articulation by discover ing, in one house where he was visiting the day after preaching from Luke xix. 251, that the servant had gone with the im pression that his text had been " I feared thee, because thou art an ouster-man \" A Hampshire incumbent Tecently re ported in the Pall Mall Gazette some of the blunders he had heard made in the marriape service by that class of persons who have to'pick the words up as best they can from hearing them repeated by others. He said that in his own parish it was quite the fashion for the man, when giving the ring, to say to the woman — " With my body I thee wash up, and with all my hurdle goods, I, thee and thou."j. ?•

He said the women were generally better up in this part of the service than the men. One day, however, a bride startled him by promising, in what she supposed to be the language ot the prayer book, to take her husband " to 'aye and tn 'old from this day fortni't for better .

hoyse for richerer power, in siggerne.sb bsfUh, to love cherries and to bay." AVhat meaning this extraordinary vow onveyed to her own mind the incumbent «faid it baffled him to conjecture.

SUDDEN DEATH AT CORO MANDEL.

An inquest was hell at Coromanclel yester day, before Major Keddell, R.M., ou view of the body of John Woods. ~,.', It Hppeared from the evidence adduced, that, deceased was a pensioner, formerly resi dent- at Howick, and was 63 yenrs of age. He had been drinking rather heavily recently, and, with an impaired constitution, this had accel. rated his death, which took piace on. the previous evening. A pod mortem examination was held by Dr. Payne, who has recently taken up his resi dence at Coromandel, and from the evidence given by that gentleman at the Coroner's inquiry, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that deceased met his death from alco holic poison.— Advertiser, Oct. 7.

DISTRICT COURT.— Monday.

[Before His Honor Thomas Beckham, Esq;, District Judge.]

Tub adjourned fortnightly sitting of the Court vras held this morning, and the follow ing business disposed : — ■ 'Judgment.—VVaymouth t. Macleak.— This was an action to recover £90, being part of a claim of £103 from the trustees of.Har dington'a estate, under the circumstances detailed in our report of the last sitting of the Court. Judgment was reserved. His Honor now ruled that the Court had no jurisdiction. Undefended Cases.

Judgment foe Plaintiffs.—Cruiekshank v.: Jones, promiasory note, £40 ; Meyers, T. Clark, promissory note, £23 ss. Defended Casks.

Heutby Lewis v. J. D. Fitzgekakd.— Claim, £35, on account of damages by reason of breach of contract. The case was tried by a jury of four, in accordance with the provision of the District Court Act. Mr. Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Itees for the defendant. —The plaintiff deposed that he had sold a horse, spring-cart, and harness to the defendant, upon a ten months'bill. But the defendant refused _to give the bill, although the horse, cart, and harness had been delivered to him.—The dffence was that the amount agreed upon was £30, and not i 35 ; that the plaintiff was indebted to the defendant to the amount of £116, and the horse, cart, and harness were given to liquidate and discharge part of that debt. The defendant said tlio witness never gave him a bill to sign. The I ill given by the plaintiff for £116 would be due on the 12th o! December nex\—The facts deposed to have been the subject of frequent litigation. It appeared that the plaintiff bought a farm from the defendant, and there was some arrangement as to the use of paddocks, for cattle driven up from Auckland by the defendant, about which the parties fell out. This was one of a series of transactions between the plaintiff and defendant, about which there was a good deal of ambiguity. The parties live at Ohaupo, Wa-kato. The plaintiff deposed, upon re-examiuation, that he offered the de fendant the horse and cart for ±35, and Fitz gerald asked pluintiff if he would take a twelvemonths' bill P If so he would take the horse and cart on trial. Lewis said he would take a bill at ten months for £35, but he never g«>t the bill.—Two witnesses named Steele and McClelland confirmed the testimony of the plaintiff as to the terms of a conversation with the defendant.—A witness named Cole man, of Hamilton, was called, but ,he could give no materia evidence. ; (Left eitting.) ;
