CHINESE BARBERS.-Ina country where every one
wears queue--not q little wretehed slender queue
like that which used to grease the collars Of our IA
theirs coats but good thick plait descending from
the snciput to the caf-the reader will perceive what
Importance, practical aud social, the BARRIERS must
have achieved. They take man in his cradle, and
do not leave him till the day he enters the tomb if
they only choose to employ the influence at their
command, they might revolutioniZe China. The FL
garos Of the Celestial empire constitute most con
siderable corporation. Protestant clergyman who
INDUCES in statistics assured that there were more
than 1000 at Canton There are itinerant BARRIERS,
BARRIERS in their own room BARRIERS with shops, and
BARRIERS who stand at the corners Of the streets.
have very often sent for the barber from the corner
and never had any reason to regret it. This artist
employs no soap he simply mOistens the skin sew

zor resembling clasp knife without spring broken
in halt. This Wretched blade, two inches long and
one broad, is fitted into piece of wood as q handle;
but however ptiable their appearance these instru
ments are excellent you scarcely feel them over
your skin When the itinerant BARRIERS pass through
street they cause the long pneers which they carry
fork, to Vbrate this is their manner of announcing
their presence 1t is no occurrence to see, in
the bysreets of Canton, thirty or forty Cinnamon,

blocks and on whom the BARRIERS Of the Celestial
empire are performing all the operations Of their
trade. The following is the mode of proceeding
The begin by washing the head and shaving that por
tion Of the body; having done this they unite the
queue, which they carefully comb and plat armed
with long pincers they then clear the ears and the
nose from the parastical hairs that encroaeh upon

practice; with the aid iaf little bamboo rod, which
terminates in tut Of oarded cotton, extremely fine

BALLOON NAyIGATIoN.-Mr. La Mountain, the bal
loonist, on Saturday last published in the Whig a
proposition for loan of s2 5OO to be applied to the
construction of q vessel for navigating the aiE-the
purpose being to accomplish trip across the Allan
tic, starting from this point and landing somewhere
in England He proposes that every person subscrih-
ing shall become stOckhOder in the enterprise, and
says that "sueh arrangements will be made with
stockholders will secure to them return of their
money with good interest before the ship leaves land
OF a continued interest on it, as they choosan
This proposition has called forth an inquiry from
professor in of our educational institutions, de-
signed to test the theoretical knowledge of the bal
oonist with regard to the subject of transatlantic
aerial navigation. He is asked whether he will be
able to stem the various currents OF winds which blow
near the surface between Europe and America How
long can his ship sustain sufficient buoyancy to keep
up? What rate of motion will it be capable of in
still air near the surface of the earth His answers
to these queries will show whether he possesses su
cent knowledge of the various air currents enable
him to make the experiment Of crossing the ocean
with his balloon. Whether such an enterprise is prae-
tfeable or not is another questoa. There seems Mt
least to be general disposition in favor of expert
mentng in the matter, and we see no reason why in
America such things should be in any degree behind
the other people. [Troy Times

SUBMARINE STEAM NAvlGArtoN.-Dr, Payerne of
France, is the constructor Of submarine iron boat,
on the screw principle, measuring twenty seven feet
long and nine and half feet wide which is said to
accomplish the purposes for which the inventor de-,
signed it; by, first, amentation of vital air con.
stantly made under water, without any communca,
tion with the atmosphere above water; and, second
direct contact Of the screw with the water at any
depth, down to one hundred and fifty feet The ali,
mentation Of air is made by double process mechan-
ical and chemical, which maintains, almost without
expense the air perfectly pure and resprable in all
hermetical places such as divng.bells, submarine
vessels, ships holds, mines, etc. The apparent i'm
possibility of maintaining under water furnace with
current of air is alleged to be completely conquered
by chemistry in its pyrotechneal branch certain

ates steam in the boilers
