Ingenious Barometer.

The Mobile Register of March 1st says
"On' board the Mexican steamer is Bar
ometer of the most simple construction,
but the greatest accuracy. 1t consists on
ly of long strip of cedar, very thin, about
two and half feet in length, about an inch
wide, cut with the grain, and in a block or
foot. This cedar strip is backed or lined
with one of white pine, cut across the grair,
and the two are tightly glued together
To bend these when dry is to snap them,
but on the approach of bad weather the &C.
dar curls over, until at times the top touch
es the ground. This simple instrument is
the invention ola Mexican guitar maker,
and such is its accuracy that it will indi-
cate the coming on of ssnorthcr" full
twenty-four hours before any other kind of
Barometer on the coast. Had this teen
the produetisn of Yankee ingenuity, it
would have been patontel long ago, and
fortune made by its inventor"
