UNDER THE SEA.

The greatest depth to which a diver
can descend with the present applian-
ces in safety, is about 100 feet, and for
this burden of about 100 weight must
be deposed about his person. The ay-
erage depth at which he can.work COM
fortably is about ninety feet, which was
near the depth at which the operations
ON the Royal George were conducted.
In water from sixty to seventy feet
deep, the men can work for two hours
at a time, coming up tor about tel min
utes rest. and doing a days work of six
or seven hours.
An English diver, encased in one of
Siebe's dresses, went down into the
Meditiranean to the depth of l65 feet,
and remained there for Is minutes
and we have heard that Green the A.
merican diver, inspected a wreck in one
OF the Canadian lakes at the depth of
lIO feet but his experience was enough
to convince him that he could not work
on without danger of lite.
At this depth the pressure of the
water on the hands is so great as to
force the blood to the head and BRING
on fainting fits, while the requisite vol,
ume of air inside the dress to resist the
outside pressureis so great that it would
speedily saffocate the diver.
Means have been tried to obv:ate these
difficulties, bat for the present limis
has been set TO the extent to which
may penetrate the secrets of the deep.
An ingenius Italian workman has
brought to England plans for a sort of
scale-armor dress, which would resisI
the pressure of water +; but our subma-
rlne engineers think that this would
not obviare the difficulties ARISING
from the limits placed beyond human
endurance.-Our O,on .fySide.

SMOKERS,

Robert Hall is said to have preached
his most eloquent sermons after smok-
a pipe in his vestry; the same with Dir.
Parr, who sometimes smoked twenty
pipes IN one evening, and "never wrote
well except under the inspiration of to
bacco." According to Bishop Kenneth.
Thomas Hobbs, the philosopher of NAL
mesbury, retired to his study every day
after dinner, and had his candle and ten
or twelve pipes of tobacco laid bv him;
then, shutting his door, he fell to smok-
ing, thinking and writing for several
hours; and, although such an excessive
smoker, lived to the good old age of
ninety and two. All know how the
great Sir Isaac Newton smoked; and
how on one occasion, in a moment of
abstraction, he placed the little finger
OF his 'lady love" into the hot bow of
his pipe, in place of tobacco stopper.
Thomas Carlyle smokes, as do Lord
Lytton. Tennyson, Louis Napoleon,
and many other eminent men. Camp
DELL, Byron, Moore and Lord Eldon,
were moderate smokers, and freuue at
ly bore testimony 10 the comfort of to-
bacco. Sir Waiter Scott was a great
smoker; so was Lord Palmerston, and
the use of the weed did rot shorten his
days. We wish we could say as much
fof Charles Lamb, "the gentle / lia,"
who toiled after it as some men t, il al
ter virtue, To say all that can be said
in favor of tobacco would require vol
