A SUGGESTION.

(To the Editor.) . | n • —■"■ ay<* made a discovery scienti-' fically of some importance.- I will call it ■ the undulatory theory of prosperity," ( second only to Newton's famous discov-1 cry of the undulating form of light. I' ■hare not yet communicated it to the public, but hope to do so shortly, in one of tih<e leading scientific journals. The particular wave of prosperity which con- j ceras us at present, and which, was primarily the cause of my great accomplisli- ; ment, 13 now at its height at Palmerston, about 50 miles off. With the very nicest, mathematical accuracy we might be able to compute the exact period of time ', which it will take to reach out town. 1 but there afx) so many secondary eonsid-; orations,, counter-currents, etc., to be! n taken into aooou-nt, that the calculation' must necessarily be very imperfect. These with various subsidiary points, will be fully dealt with in my expository article, either in the "Scientific American,"' the "English Mechanic," the ■"Quarterly Review," or some other, to wfaich. I must refer you for further in'forniation upon it. A matter of such . vital consequence cannot be indifferent to amy of your (readers. Should some citizen more enterprising than the rest hit upon some mechanical device, corresponding to the "spectrum analysis" initiated by the labours of my illustrious predecessor, by means of which the undulation in question could be brought under human control, and the natural ' eourso so modified and hastened as to ■■ bring the town of Wanganui speedily within its inflaence, it would be my most gratifying reflection that the above modest suggestion had afforded him the clue. —I am. etc., ENTHUSIASTIC, ,
