 NesO Life PreSerUer.-A new Life Pre- . server has been recently invented by Dr, Comstock, of Hartford, Conn. It is made of cloth, in the form of cylinder, like bag, 5 feet long and Or , inches in diameter, fitted with strapsto tie it a. round the body. By means of a brass tube with stop, it may be inflated with air from the lungs in minute or two, and is then capable of sustaining from 30 to 45 pounds of iron in water. The cloth is rendered impervious to the water, by a ce- ment of elastic gum. A bag made of the same material has held water 54 hours in our office without being moistened through. The Steam boat Macdonough has been supp piled with fifty of these life preservers, for the security of her passengers, in case of emergency.-D. Ado.
