 GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.

 THE ELECTRO MAGNETIC LIGHT.-Messrs J. Milton Saunders and John Starr, have at last succeeded with their Light; and bril- liant affair it is The apparatus with which their light is made is small; to allow of easy transportation. But 1t may be increased to an indefinite extent, and with it's enlargement is the increase of the size of the light Though but the size of pea, it is sufficient to illuminate quite large room, and forbids the steady glance of the eye. The blaze of candle twenty feet distant from the appa- ratus, and three feet from the wall, casts up- on the wall thick shadow-so much more brilliant is the light, , though not one tWen- teth of the size of the candles flame. What will be the power of this light when increased to the size ef d gas-light? We cannot con- ceive,

 At distance the light looks unlike other l uminations-throwing out most beautiful rays, which, finely coIored, spread magnli- gently from the bright centre. The inVen- ] tors say they can make the light of different colors, and even alternately change from one color to another The apparatus for produ- cng this illumination displays great ingenu- ity, and thorough knowledge of that DOT ton of science which relates to the princi- pes they have so successfully applied.

 The apparatus will not cost very great amount. It may be kept in one part of the city, and the light produced by connecting wires in any other part. Or it may be slowed away in the cellar or garret, as 1t is not eff (ected by dampness, and wires be carried to different rooms, to the street, or to the neigh i boring streets What 1t cannot do in the way of illuminations, remains yet to be dis covered; what 1t can do, we may partially l conceive

 The inventors started from Cincinnati on the list ult., accompanied by Capt. E. A. King of Dayton, for England and France, with the intention of procuring patents in those countries. We are assured by those who are interested in knowing, that there IS not the least doubt of their most entire and triumphant success. And thus the new world 1 (and Cincinnati has the honor of discov- cry, for which the scientific men of the old have been working for century and a half.

 The brlliancy and the cheapness of the i light, places 1t beyond the thought of com petitions; added to which, it's most undoubt- i ed safety every where and under all circum- stances, it will in the course of few months render gas '.an obsolete idea. ,

 TIE HAw OR HooKs-We had supposed that the absurd and cruel practice of cutting out the haw from the eye of tle horse for the purpose of relieving a fancied disease called hooks, had ceased amongst even the most ignorant of veterinary practitioners; but a gentleman has assured us that the plan was frequently resorted to still in the country by those who should know better.

 ] The haw is an expansive membrane with which nature has provided the eye of the horse for the purpose of removing the dust and other impurities that may chance to fall on that delicate organ, and to cut it off under any circumstances, is not less cruel than ri- dlculous. This membrane, ,sympathising with other diseased parts of the eye, frequently becomes inlamed and swollen, and then it is. that instead of bathing it with cooling solu- tons, IL Is called hooks, and is cut out by the ignorant quaeks; and thus be deprived of ths natural appendage, and is subjected to all the pain and misery that the introduction of foreign substances Is calculated to nhict |. upon that sensitive organ, the eye We would condemn the man guilty of this barbarity to stand thirty minutes with gnat in his eve. his pocket handkerchief stolen, and his hands tied he would then be able to comprehend the extent of the misery he had inflicted upon an animal oltentimes nober than himself. l. Is true that the bleeding that follows the cut ting sometimes reduces the inflammation and gives some apparent eountvHauce to this bar barous Praetice-but surely bloodlettine ean be effected under such circumstances upon better terms than can the loss of this valuable appendage Slaitsra Piamsr.
