__ The Mining: and Scientific Press. 315 The Last Half Century the Greatest. The followiug is part of a racy article in the Speetator : “Few phenomena are more remarkable than the degree in which—thoe progress of mankind in those contrivances which promote the comfort of daily life—has been voncentrated in the last halfcentnry. It is not too much to say that in these respects more has been done in onr own hfetime than in all the previons lifetiine of the race. Jt is in the matters of light, loeomotion, end ecommunieation that tho progress efYected in this generation contrasts most surprisingly with the aggregate of tho progress effected in all generations pnt together since the earliest dawn of anthentic history. The lamps and torches which illaminated Belshazzar’s feast were probably ns beillixnt, an framed ont of nearly the inte materials, as those which shone npon the splendid fetes of Versailles, when Matia Antoiurtte presided over them, or those of the Tnileries during the Imperial magnificence of the First Napoleon. Pinc wood, oil, and perhaps wax, hezhted the banguct halls of the wealthiest nobles, alike in the cighteenth century before Christ and in the eighteenth century after Christ. There was little differenee, except in finish of workmanship and elegance of design, hetween the lamps nsed in the days of the Pyramids, the days of tho Coliseum, and the days of Kensington Palece. Fifty years ago, we burnt the same articles, and got about tho same umonnt of lizht from them, as we did five thousand years ago. Now, we nsec gas, of which each burner is equal to fifteen or twenty eandles; and when we wish for moro ean have recourse to the electric light or analagous inventions, which are tifty fold moro brillant. The same thing may be said of locomotion. Nimrod and Noah traveled just in the same way, and just at the same rate, as Thomas Assheton Smith and Mr. Coke of Norfoll. The ehariots of the Olympic Games went just as fast as the chariots that conveyed our nobles to the Derby, “in our het youth, when George the Third was King.” When Abraham wanted to send a tucssage to Lot, he dispatched a man on horseback, who galloped twelve miles an honr. When our fathers wanted to sond a message to their nephews, they could do no better. But the progress in the means of communieation is the most remarkable of all. In this respect, Mr. Pitt was no better off than Pericles of Agamemnon. If Ruth had wished to write to Naomi, or David to send a word of love to Jonathan when be was a hundred milcs away, they conld not possibly have done it under twelve hours. Nor could we to ourfriends thirty years ago. In 1868 the humblest citizen of Great Britain cau send sneb a message, uot a hundred miles, but a thousand, in twelve minutes.” MsnuracTorissin Great Brrramn.—England ctill maintains her supremacy as an exporting nation, yet there are indications of a grert depression in several departments ofindustry. In Germany and Belgium labor is cheap, machinery plentiful, and capital has recently directed itself in an eminent, degree to manufacture. Hence, over 1867, there is a decided decrease in the British exports of carpets, druggets, and cloths, while ’67 shows a falling off from the preceding year. Mcanwhile, the money value of these exports decreased nearly six millions of dollars in gold. Liven shows an extensive falling off; so likewise, haberdashery, apparel, and machinery. The exporting beer trade indicates a loss of nearly a million over last year. In coals, tin, copper, and iron there were large exportations in both crude and mannfactured materials. Nevertheless, the London Times remarks thut what was gained in quantity was lost in values; all classos of goods exhibiting a depression in rates of sale. The loss of England is, however, the gaiu of other nationalties, AJ] the populations along the Baltic Sea are enriched from tho iucrease of their mannfactories. In the United States, despite the heavy internal tax, industrial pursuits indicato a steady increase. Forty Mimes or Cars.—The Reuding Railroad Company own 16,3855 cars of all kinds, and 268 engines. Were theso cars and engines all placed in line on their track, commencing at Mt. Carbon, the opposite end of the string wonld reach to Exeter station, a distance of forty miles.—Penn, paper. GEO. E.
