A tubular bridge has been
planned to extend across San
Francisco bay. 1t is an i'm
meuse iron tube intended to be
sunk from 2S to 30 feet below
the surface, and held in place
10y its own buoyancy and by
cables and mushroom anchors.
The tube is TO be 30 feet in
diameter, aud made of boiler
iron, strengthened 10y an inter
nal framework of iron beams.
The invention is based upon
the idea that the buoyancy OF
the tube will be equal TO the
weight of a train of cars, and
that in the absence Of this
weight the cables and anchors
will hold the tube in place.

The Cleveland Leader says
that a gentleman in the city,
who prides himself upon his
appearance, lately sought to
remove a grease spot by the
free use of beDzine, and then
stood close to the stove that the
odor might evaporate more
quickly. He was quite correct
in his theory, but unfortunate
in practice, fer he was soon
turning cart wheels through
the window and there was not
enough of the coat tail left to
make a "weSkit' for a dol
baby. He does not ride horse
back now, and sleeps on al,
fours, like a mule.

1T has for some time been currently rumOur-
ed here, that Governor Billie bad grown tired of
the duties incumbent upon him as Royal Com
missioner in thess Islands, and intended to re-
tire from the post; but it was affirmed at the
came time that he would not do so before he
had completed certain portions Of the york CON-
rnitted TO him, especially the revision of the Co.
leiiai Law. We see now from the Copenhagen
Paper "Dagbladet, that it is believed the tins
for Mn. Bille's rrtiri & Is very nigh, that the
H1me Government has already for som time
since been occupied with the preliminaries for
the appointment Of his successor,-whether it
- 10 be q Commissions or q Governor in Chief
permanently. is nncertain-, and that there is
reason to believe the final choice of the person
sse to di ths post will very shortly be made.
