What ins become of the old-fashionet jan temimo?. Mr. Sala suggests that the selfishness of grown-up people has killed it; and we fear he is right. A generaliou ago & pantomime wee primarily intended for the entertainment of obildren; bat, na iuften the case with children's armente, it had a considerable fassination for even the gravest persons of mature years. Lord Eldon nover sew a pintoroime radi ko was sevenly; and his delight was so intense that he visited the same performance. eleven times. Whelhor he would have returned olover times.to_s.modern pratomiasisvery doubifl Children appreciats, spentacle, no doubt; but they prefer fan, and of the old-fashioned rollik ing fun of Grimaldi's time there is a little.

The Beolution, the new yzobb built to embody Dr. W. M. Jackson's principle of propulsion by a stream of water forced from the stern, bas jost boon laguched from the yard of Mr. James Lenox, South Brooklyn. The vessel is 108 feet by 23 feet, and her depth, or her draught (it is not quite clear which is 63 feet. The hydraulic power will be brenght into action by
pumping engins of 1,501 Korse-power. This tremendous" pressure wil result, says Dr. Jackson, in giving the vessel a speed of not less than 2 miles an hour, and püssiḥly oTAN 30 miles. The water will be drawn in through 8-inch pipe, lontod in either side of the yacht, amidships, and formed ond through inch pipes in the stern (and stem when needed). As Jackaut has hitherto been a succesful inventar, and na he is repated to be a long-headed and strong, headed eoiontito American, the trial of the Evolution is being looked forward to with exceptional interest The iden, however, is, by no means new, and was tried with one, if not wo passenger steamers on the Thames nearly twenty years ago. The rosols worked woll enough for years, but ware not found to ponoss any advantage over those propelled by wheels
