| Combined Bed and life Preseryer.

An invention, combining the adyan-
tages of bed on shipboard and life
preserver in case of shipwreck, has
been exhibited in England. IT consists
of cork mattress and pillows, resting
on spring bottom. The mattress and
pillows are 50 arraged that they can be
readily adjusted to the body and used
to keep tie shipwrecked passenger
floating in an erect position. The
are, moreover, so construct
ed that, Unnecessary, they can be joined
together to form life raft. A specially
OF this form of life preserver is, that
as it encases the body in Il great meas
ure, it might, in many instances,
prove invaluable as a protection to
persons washed ashore on a rocky
coast. The inventor is an American
Mr.. L. f. Peck. The new bed and life
preserver combined was tested at the
Georges Baths, Liverpool, in presence
of Admiral Kerr, r. n, chief emigra-
ton officer OF the port Mr. Ismay, of
the White Star Company. and other
gentlemen, who were highly pleased
with its practical working.

Depth of the Atlantic Ocean.

| The main theater OF sounding Oper
atoms has been the Atlantic Ocean
which from its relation to the leading
commercial nations, and for intercon
tinental te)egraphic purposes, has beer
more carefully surveyed than another
great body of water. Open from pole
to pole, participating IN all conditions
Of climate, communicating freely with
other seas, and covering $4,000, OO(
square miles, it is believed to repre-.
sent general oceanic conditions, and to
contain depths nearly, if not quiet, as
| great as the other ocean basins of the
world, although but little is known, il
is true, in this respect of the Antarc
tic AID Pacific seas. The general re-
suit of its soundlngs would indicate
that the average depth of the Atlantic
bed is not much more than II, 900 feet.
| and there seem to be few depressions
deeper than $4,000 to 10000 feet, a
little more than the height Of Mont
Blanc.
DIR. Thomson sums up the general
results of the Atlantic soundings as
follows In the Arctic Sea there is deep
water reaching to 5000 feet to the west
and southwest of Spitsbergen. Ex-
tending from the coast of Norway, and
including Iceland, the Farce Islands,
Shetland, and Orkney, Great Britain
and Ireland, and the bed of the North
Sea to the coast of France, there is a
wide plateau, on which the depth rare
ly reaches 5000 feet but to the west
OF Iceland and communicating, doubt
less, with the deep water in the Spitz-
bergen Sea, a trough 500 miles wide.
and, III some places, nearly II, 600 feet
deep, curves along the East of Green
land. This is the path Of one of the
great Arctic return currents. After
sloplng gradually to depth Of 5000
feet to the westward of the coast of
Ireland IN latitude 80 deg, the bottom
suddenly dips to $1,000 feet at the rate
of about 10 to 10 feet in the 100, and
from this point to within about 200
miles of the coast of Newfoundland.
when 1t begins to shoal again, there is
a vast undulating submarine plain.
averaging about $1,000 feet in depth
below the suface-the " telegraph
plateau"
A valley about five hundred miles
wide, with a mean depth of Is, 900 feet,
stretches from off the southwest coast
of ireland, along the coast of Europe.
dipping into the Bay of Biscay, past
tie Straits of Gibraltar, and along the
west coast of Africa. Opposite the
Cape de Verde Islands, it seems to
Islands it seems to merge into slight
ly deeper trough, which occupies the
axis of the South Atlantic, and passes
into the Antarctic sea. A nearly SINH
lar valley curves around the coast of
North America, about $4,000 feet in
depth, off Newfoundland and Labra-
dor, and becoming considerably deeper
to the southwark. where it follows the
outline of the coast of the States, and
the Bahamas and Windward Islands.
and finally joins the central trough of
the South Atlantic off the coast OF

i Surpllcr Story.

The editor of an Episcopalian con-
temporary prints the following story
Gas having been told by friend in a
private note) of a rural clergyman who
had a very fine surplce, which he
carried with him on visit to clerical
brother in the vicinity OF Boston. The
Boston brother was 50 pleased with this
garment that 1t was arranged that the
rural brother should order one like it
from the Philadelphia maker (who
happened to be a sexton in that city,,
and have it sent by express, marked
G. o. ID. After some time had elapsed,
the sexton complained to the country
clergyman who had ordered the sur
pllce that his city friend had not paid
for 1t. At the suggestion of the former,
who was not little surprised, the bill
was at once sent, and the payment
was promptly RENTED. Not very long
after this, a second visit was paid to
the Boston divine, when, on entering
the vestry room and seeing him dom
ming his Philadelphla-made surplice,
the explanation Of the misunderstood
ing about the payment was at once APP
parent, for there, on the back of the
garment, We're distinctly embroidered
the letters G. O. d. The sexton had
taken the directions literally, and the
Boston clergyman was happy in the
idea that his handsome surplice bore
some new advanced" legend.

4 New Volcano.

Z" startling piece of news" says
the Register, of Central City, Colorado,
8 has just come to hand no less than
minute description, by more than one
credible witness, OF a volcano bursting
forth few miles north of us. We were
inclined at first to doubt the statement,
but 1t comes SO straight, and the story
is so well told, that it seems there must
be something in it. The facts are that
last Thursday, Burke, reliable man
OF this place, was out prospecting near
the head of the North Boulder. Your
correspondent having been over that
country, is prepared to testify that in
ages past volcanic eruptions must have
been common.) Our prospector saw
smoke at distance, which he at first
attributed to fire i'll the woods. But
second thought convinced him that " as
not possible, as its locality was far
above timber line. So, with the usual
zeal of prospector for something new,
he clambered up and down
and over several ridges of
the main range, until arriving
at the place, he found himself on the
edge Of a veritable crater The place
had evidently once been the scene Of
great and long continued volcanic ac-
ton, for there was plainly to be traced
the rim of prehistoric crater about
one mile III diameter. Within the an
clent bowl and near the edge the young
volcano had commenced operations It
did not emit violently while he was
there, but contented itself with an oc-
casional spasm, the rest of the time
smoking as pleasantly as an old to-
bacconist. But the best proofs of his
story are bits of lava, evidently of re-
cent origin, and several Jumps Of
scoria. These are now being handed
about among the boys, and are regard
ed with as much curiosity and interest
as is ever manifested in the last rich
strike A large party will start from
here in few days, determined to and
thenticate or disprove the matter. Sew
eral men nave already been there, au-
all return with lava trophies "

To Catch Rats.

A new manner of catching rats is ex-
citing great interest. A barrel is filled
bali full of water. A layer of powdered
cork is laid on its surface, and over
this layer of corn meal is sifted. A
chair and a box Or two are placed un-
obtrusivcly in the neighborhood,
whereby the rat gains the edge of the
barrel. He sees nothing but the meal.
He has no innate ideas which teach
him to beware of the treacherous
foundation on which that tempting
surface rests. He shifts, he leaps, and
goes gently down through meal and
cork to watery grave. If any of his
friends see him disappear from the
edge of the barrel, they hasten after
him to get their share of the probable
plumber. and are in turn taken in by
hospitable death. The plan seems eff
fective as against rats, but it is calcu-
Lated to destroy their confidence in
human nature.

Wasted Tears.

We paused this morning, says the
Peoria Review, to watch Il lonely hearse
pass along the streets. Over it nodded
the sable plumes, and silken curtains
hid from curious eyes the casket of the
friendless dead, and bullion fringe and
silver lace work could not detract from
followed the hearse to mans last rest
ing-place no stified sobs burst from
the lips of stricken mourners no eyes
turned pityingly upon the scanty
funeral; the great heart of the city
throbbed increasingly on, and the roar
and clamor of traffic hushed the hollow
rumble of the catafalque. Buried
alone-ahl when might it come
upon us, thus to pass from
the Present into the eternal Flu
ture to commit ourselves alone to the
bosom of the river, whose waters lave
the hIther shore IN the dark, chill
bitterness of death, and thitherward
are forever yelled in clouds of the
Mystic, which human eye hath never
pierced? 'Tis a dreary fate to ponder
DER, and this friendless man should
have at least one mourner, so with
bated breath and uncovered head, whis-
pered the driver, ''who is, or was, the
lonely dead ~ and the driver said,
dead nothin'; I'm just taking the old
bone trap over to the shop to Git
her springs fixed. She bounced the
last stiff we took out in her clean out O
the coffin. Whoa, Bill blast We, or
I'll cut your hair with black snake I"
We ceased weeping.
