The Mining . and Scientific Press. 395 Serine Batancrs.—The following is from an exchange : The spring balance is almost the only sort of apparatus that is of more valuo to the owner the longer it is used, This contrivance is so, for the reason that every strain en the tension of the spring canses it to bend a little easier ; 80 that, if admitting it furnished a true index of the weight of an articlo when it was new, it will not do so after a few months, Not only is the spring balanco inaccurate whien compared with the lever balance, but it is, aftera little use, inacenrate when compared with itself; that ia, it will requiro a greater weight to register tho tenth pound of the seale than it did the first; for the reason that smaller quantities aro more frequently weighed than larger ones; or, again, if ten pounds are weighed separately, they will not weigh ten peunds when together. Qorcx Tiau.—A train on the Chicago aud Northwestern Railroad, on the 12th ult., made the unprecedented ruu of ninety-one miles in ninety minutes. ‘Tho train was ranning east, from Port Howard (Wis.) to Chicago. The quickest prior mus of which we have auy,recond, are as follows: In England, 18 miles hy a special train in 15 minutes. In the United States, 14 miles in 11 minutes, by an engine and six cars on the N. Y. Central; 10 miles in 71; minutes, on the Pennsylvania Railroad; 144 milesin two hours 49 miuntes on the Hudson River road; 8! miles in 90 minutes, from Indianapolis to Union City; 305 miles in 7 hours 32 minntes, from Albany to Niagara.—<Am.
