BLASTING Rocks UNDER WArER.-I is
often matter of wonder and surprise to
the uninitiated, how rocks can be blasted
which are buried in waller. One method is
by The use of the diving bell. Three men
are employed: one holds the jumper. or
boring iron, which he keeps constantly
turning, while the other two strike Il with
hammers. When the hole is sufficiently
deep, tin cartridge Is inserted, filled with
gun powder, above which sand is placed
TO the cartridge tin pipe is attached, and
the diving bell slowly raised, new pieces of
pipe being added until it is about two feet
above the water. The man who is TO fire
the charge is placed in boat near the tube,
to which cord is fixed which he holds in
his left hand. A small piece of red hot
iron dropped INTO the tube ignites the pow
der and the rock is blown up. Ii is Gu
rious fact that the man IN the boat feels no
shock, while those on shore feel il very SEN
sibly. The only effect he perceiyes is vi
client ebulition of the water around the
boat.

EXTENT OF THE UNivERsE.-lt may give
some idea of the extent of the Universe, to
know The length of time required for light,
which travels 1920 miles an hour to
come from different celestial objects to the
earth. From the moon it comes in one and
quarter seconds; from the sun, in eight
minutes, from Jupiter, in fifty-two minutes.
Uranus, in two hours; from star Of the
first magnitude, three to twelve years; from
a star Of the fifth magnitude, four thousand
years. Light which left star of the
twelfth magnitude when the Israelites left
Egypt, has not yet reached the earth. Our
entire solar system itself travels at the rate
Of thirty-fve thousand miles an hour among
the fixed stars.

The LARGEST VESSEL AFLoAr.-The
Cincinnati Enquirer, Of Monday last, con-
tains the following description of Ii marine
monster about 10 be constructed in thai,
city:
"Dr. Spalding, the Circus King, has been
in town several days, closeted with archi-
tects and shp-builders, projecting an enter
prise, compared with which all other pro-
jects are literally nothing. He has the
drawings and working plans for monster
floating palace, for the construction of
which he is getting estimates, 400 feet long
aud 60 feet beam, with luxurious accommo-
dations for 1000 spectators. The interior
is to be an amphitheatre, much more capa-
cious and costly than any theatre in the
country, with cushioned and armed chairs,
dress circle, parquette and gallery; saloons,
promenades, and with drawing rooms;
stage, drops and scenery-well ventilated
and lighted, with facilities for speedy in
gress and egress, lighted with gas and Ben
gal lights, and every modern and eiegan,
improvement. The exterior of this Levia-
than of the Deep, is 10 be like nothing in
"thc earth beneath, or the watcrs under the
earth" An agent proceeded to Europe in
the last steamer, to procure rare novelties
for this sumptuous place Of entertsinmen,
from Asia and Africa, wild animals from
their native wiids; and some Of those indi-
genous artists that would acquire no adj
ditionai lustre from transatlantic endorse
ment. This Water Mountain is to be tow
ed by two steam tenders to the various
towns upon the Mississippi and its trbu-
taries in summer, aud be moored at the lie
wee in New Orleans, in the winter. II is
estimated TO cost forty thousand dollars,
and will he completed next spring, although
DR.. S. has offered large bonus TO have j,
completed in time for this winters cam
paign."

Correspondence Of the New York Herald.
The Difficulty between General Wool
and Colonel Webb.
ROCHESTER, Sept. 90, 1856

ROCHESTER, Sept. ~, 1921.
have made some further inquiry about
the case Of Col. Webb and Gen. Wool
There is no getting at the exact particulars,
because the story has ouly oozed out from
themselves. The rumor all over the city
about the fracas on Thursday afternoon,
between Col Webb and Gen. Wool is, that
during The day, Gen. Wool asserted his
right To review the troops, as taking prece-
dence of the Governor, who is only Cap
tain General Of the militia. The claim
was not admitted, rs II was the militia that
were to be reviewed, Gen. Wool, however,
agreed TO go TO the GROUND, and it was ar
ranged that he should have . place in the
Governors carriage. In the same carriage
were Col. Bruce and Col. Webb, as aids of
the Governor.
The Governor, observing that Gen. Wool
and Col. Webb were not speaking, pro-
posed to introduce them. Gen. Wool said
he did not know Col. Webb, and did not
want to know him. There was then some
al!uson to certain article in The Courier
and Enquirer, in which some reflections
were made upon the gencralshp Of Wool.
Col. Webb, in justification Of himself, said
/ he had letter from the late General Tay-
lor, in which he said that if Gen. Wool:
advice had heeu followed, the decisive bat
lie of Buena Vista would have been lest
General Wool said it was false, Col w ebl
said he would prove it by publishing the
letter. General Wool dared him to do so
What further occurred, deponent saith not
but the foregoing is in every body's mouth
1t appears there has been a bad feelin:
between Wool and Webb ever since ihel
were in the army together.
