THE GARDENERS’ 
CHRONICLE, 
(Serr. 23. 
boiler was discharging its steam, a large quantity of elec- 
tricity was produced, by the friction probably of the 
steam and water against the valves and tubes. The work- 
man thrust his hand into the steam, and received a severe 
shock, for which he could not account. Mr. Armstrong, 
however, applied himself to a series of experiments, 
proving that the workman received an electric shock, and 
that the common steam-boiler was capable of producing a 
larger and more powerful stream of electricity than any 
other apparatus. The machine now exhibited is nothing 
more than an ordinary steam-boiler, with a few metal points 
added at the top, the more effectually to produce the 
negative electrical state to which the machine was 
brought when the steam is discharged. The pressure of 
90lbs. on the square inch had been in practice found the 
best for all experimental purposes ; and with this pressure 
the machine produced effects, compared with which the 
very large electrical machine, heretofore exhibited at this 
institution, was powerless. Instead of 60 spontaneous dis- 
charges in a minute, the hydro-electric machine produced 
140; and filled Leyden jars, having 80 square feet of tin- 
foil, i in 12 seconds, whilst the former machine filled them 
only in 60 seconds. A constant stream to all parts of the 
boiler was kept up, and with this increased power it may 
well be supposed that all the former electrical experiments 
were greatly increased in magnificence. The passage of 
the electricity over the tin-foil on the tubes was far more 
brilliant, and the aurora borealis exceeded in intensity 
and in beauty anything before witnessed ; the violet colour 
was brighter, and at the same time deeper, and the ex- 
hausted receiver showed more plainly the progress of the 
electric spark. Five discharges were taken consecutively 
from the battery over beaten metal placed upon paper in | 
a less space of time than could possibly have occurred by 
the aid of any electric machine hitherto made. Nor were 
the experiments confined to those already performed, in- 
creased though they were in brilliancy. The electricity 
was passed through and ignited common wood shavings ; 
and an electric spark easily and immediately ignited loose 
gunpowder. The lecturer well observed, that with such a 
power, yet unworked in experimental philosophy, it was 
impossible to say what other new facts might be brought 
to light. The former electrical machine was most sur- 
prising in the effects it produced, but this will far out- 
strip in interest all former machines. 
Whirlwind.—The Presse, Paris paper, says :—‘' A 
phenomenon as strange as it was frightful i is now the sub- 
ject of conversation at St. Pierre, in the Oise. Two 
children have been carried off by a whirlwind in presence 
of their parents. The whole country, within a circum- 
ference of two leagues, has been visited without any news 
being heard of them. It is feared they were carried into 
the river Oise.”

RAL CrimiInat Court.—Theodore Gombrechi, a young 
Ger a stated in the calendar ye ae a merchant, was indicted 
for unlawfully embezzling 485/. 10s., the moneys of Frederick 
Huth and another, his erpioners.. "The prisoner expressed his 
ire to retract the plea of Not Guilty, and to plead Guilty to the 
indictment. The essirien said the prigoner: ae clearly under-
