I FIT ALL SHAPED HEADS, DENTISTS. NEW AND FASHIONABLE As many in this place and vicinity contemplate build'ng more or less extensively, a few thoughts upon the topics contained in the above caption, may not be amiss. Verv many houses are annually burnt, by occasion of defective flues. Perhaps fully as many more become a prey to the devouring element, for want of a better and more extensive arrangement of flues. With the loss of dwellings, stores, offices, shops and other edifices in this way, there is a large amount of other property consumed ; and not frequently there is to be added to the list, the loss of life also.— These accidnts and disasters oflener than otherwise take place, when a little more care and thought—perhaps no more expense—would have wholly prevented them. Many dwellings are constructed in such a manner as to give the impression that the flues were wholly an after thought, and did not enter it Co this original plan at all. A stove-pipe is hnde to pass through one partition, and there to enter another pipe, which latter perhaps through one or two more partitions, before it reaches the main flue. Did the reader ever see a tasteful, safe, and convenient method of passing a stovepipe through either a partition or a ceiling? It is what a good arcnitect never does. One method of doing it is, to make the open space around the pipe so large, that fire cannot be communicated to the partition. This is often uncomfortable, wholly out of taste, and for many occasions, does not properly separate the rooms. Another is that of placing a double tin cylinder in the partition, containing air-holes for keeping it cool; and then passing the pipe through this. Yet this is a poor contrivance. The tin next to the pipe, will soon burn and rust out. Then it is good for nothing. Even while comparatively new, if the pipe becomes very foul, and burns out, the intense heat generated, will so char the wood in contact with the cylinder, that after a few repetitions it will take fire. No insurance company will insure so cheaply, where such an arrangement exist. They know it to be unsafe. A third method is, to place a stone cylinder or jar, in the partition, and pass the pipe through that This carries the writer back to the first stove he ever saw in a schoolhouSe. The flue came down to the ceiling near the center of the room, and to shield the ceiling, a thick earthen jar was inserted in the bottom of the flue. Though the school-house was brick, the fire necessary for comfort, soon charred the ceiling and repeatedly set it on fire The writer has personally known of more than twenty fires, by reason of this stone cylinder arrangement The past season he took down a flue, resting upon oak boards at a distance of nearly four inches from a stone cylinder passing through them, and yet these boards actually were badly charred. The lath which came closer to the cylinder, did take fire; and had it not instantly been dis covered, the whole house would have been in flames in a few minutes. Even if the cylinders would never get broken, this arrangement is mdst admirably adapted to set a house - on fire sooner or later. S.

M, WILLIAMS, U SURGEON DENTIST, WYOMING FIRE INSURANCE CO ' ' WILKES-BARRE, PENNA. QAMUEL J. BARBER, KEYSTONE MARBLE YARD, This tnost extraordinary substance was discovered by Dr. Priestley in 1774, and is among the capital achievements of the 18th eentury. With it came an acquaintance with the composition of the atmosphere of water and the various minerals that from the earth's crust It demolished old theories and laid the foundation of modern chemistry—furnishing the key to many bidden things in nature Oxygen, when pure, is without taste or swell, but though seemingly mild and bland is possessed of the most astonishing powers. So active are its affinities, and so wide their range, it forms compounds with all the other elements—save perhaps one, giving rise to substances, the most diverse and opposite in their charac ter. With some of the elements it forms gases, with others liquids, and with others still solids. With some it unites so loosely as to be easily separated, while it seizes others with such power as to tax the utmost skill of the chemist to force the*n asunder. Combined with one class of bodies it gives rise to neutral salts; with a second to corrosive acids, and with a third to burning alkalies. It unites in our most nourishing food, and mingles in the deadliest poisons. Mixed with one gas it forms the air we breathe, and uniting chemically with another constitutes the water we drink. Oxygen is procured for purpose of experiment by separating it from some of its compounds. One of these, chlorate of potash, when placed in a glass or copper flask and subjected to the heat of a spirit lamp gives off more than one-third of its weight of r.early pure oxygen. This gas is the sole supporter of respiration, and without a due supply of it all living creatures suon perish. Any animal confined in a given portion of atmospheric air dies as soon as the oxygen is- consumed. If immersed in pure oxygen it evinces by its actions that it lives too fast; Its breathing becomes hurried, its circulation quickened, and though for a little time it seems exhilerated, often playing fantastic tricks, the overwrought vitality is quickly exhausted, and if not soon removed it will die. The oxygen of the atmosphere is mingled with four times its bulk of a negative gas, nitrogen. Its too active properties are thus diluted and tempered, exactly fitting it for respiration and perfectly adapting it to the requirements of our nature. The processes of respiration and combustion are identical. Our lungs are oxydising apparatus, in which the same changes occur as take place in the flame, only in a less degree and a more regulated way. The oxygen we consume maintains our animal heat in health at 98 deg., but our organism is constantly changing, and this burning out of poisonous and effete matters entails perpetual loss. If this is not met and repaired by constant supplies of fuel in the form of food, emaciation, wasting, and finally death occurs. Ordinary combustion is simply oxydation—in other words, a chemical union of the oxygen of the air with the substance burned. This may be slow or rapid. The wood which gradually decays and sinks into the earth evolves as much heat as if consumed by fire. The resulting compounds are the same. The one is the work perhaps of years, the other of a few moments. The same quantity of oxygen is required for the complete oxydation or burning of a body, whether the process be tardy or quick. The coals upon the smith's forge if burned in fifteen minutes will liberate heat four times as fast as if the combustion occupied an hour—hence by the uso of the bellows he furnishes oxygen to his fire and correspondingly increases the vehemence of his blast As respiration, combustion, fermentation and decay of all matter is attended with abstraction of oxygen from the air and its conversion into other forms, the consumption of this eloment must be enormous. An adult person consumes about twp pounds a day. The burning of a pound of coal requires two and a half pounds of oxygen. A steamship, then, which on a voyage burns one thousand tons of coal, consumes two thousand five hundred tons of oxygen. If we estimate the population of our globe at one billion, and allow each individual one pound per day, assume twice as much for the animal kingdom, and four times as much for the un- MAIN STREET, PITTSTON, PA.

Arrange in the plan of the building, so that every pipe shall enter a brick flue, with Dut passing through a partition or a ceiiing. This will all be convenient and tasteful, if the building is planned right. It is a principle in architcctuie, ihm beauty convenience and economy will all hi rmonize, if the edifice be correctly planned. If you desire to have a bouse planned, the first inquiry of the architect is, Where do you intend to place it 1* Is it to be upon a mound, with a beautiful prospect in every direction T Or is it to be in a level town ? and on the corner of a block, so as to front on two, streets T On which street is the main front need ? How much of a house are you to place mure? Where is to bo your wood yard etc? Give him the data he needs, and you may assured that he will not only fit. it to the locality and the object; he will have all the I u-UliH and flues fitted to .each other so that there will be no danger of fire from having pipes pass through partitions and ceilings. Even should you have to pay him $25 for a plan, he will shape the thing so much more conveniently than you can, that you will more than save the cost of his plan in building. He can do this as much better than you, who novr studied architecture, as a practiced portrait painter can paint a better portrait, -than one who never used a brush.

Fixing his attention steadfastly on the play, and affecting unconsciousness of the whole aftair, he left the man with the cane to settle with the other for the disturbance, who, being without excuse, there was of course, a ludicrous, embarrassing scene, Jluring all of which Phoenix was piofoundly interested in the play.
