Deep Sea Searches Rendered Easy.

Since the bottom Of the sea is want
ell Tor international communication
the attention of ingenious men has
been turned to a field of labor hitherto
almost entirely neglected. While for
years scientists have been striving to
explore in every way the surface and
| intestiDes of the earth, but compare
lively little is at the present day known
of the beds Of the vide oceans. The
difficulties attending the examination
oil the bottom Of the seas appeared to
be insupcrable until, from necessity,
means were invented to ascertain the
physical condition of the ocean beds
for cable purposes. The soundings in
the Atlantic by our naval vessels prior
to carrying the cable which now con-
meets the two continents, and similar
undertakings by Great Britain and
France, have since brought forward a
number Of devices for more SUCCESS
fully sounding ut greater depths. This
hemp line is being superseded by steel
piano wire, which, from it's smooth
surface, It's greater tenacity and elias.
ITCHY and comparative ightncss, IS
found superior to any other wire. The
problem of bringing mp specimens of
bottom, however, offers great difficult
ties.
The United States steamer Tusca-
rora, which is now engaged in search
ing for suitable berth for trans
Pacific cable from San Francisco to
Japan, via the Aleutian Island chain,
has been fitted by the Navy Depart
ment, under special instructions from
the Bureau of Navigation, with a
number of appliances for sounding in
deep water, including the machine and
lypamometer invented by Sir William
Thomson, for the use of piano wire,
which has already been successfully
tried about forty miles outside of San
Francisco in depths ranging from III
to $40 fathoms. Besides, Comman
der It. E. Belknap has made an i'm
provcmcnt of tho apparatus hitherto
thought best adapted for bringing up
specimens Of bottom, of which he has
sent a model to the Bureau of Naviga-
tion, which is much admired by all
officers who have seen it. Belknap's

sists of two cylinders, one above the
other when the instrument is set and
descending through the water, and to
close teiescop,cally when the shot de-
tachcs on reaching the bottom. The
lower cylinder is fitted with conical
cup at the lower extremity for the re-
ception of parts of the bottom through
an aperture, which, while descending,
admits flow of water upward through
the cylinders by means Of valves which
close Theoretically by the pressure OF
the water when the apparatus is being
hauled up from below. The upper
cylinder covers the aperture in the
lower one on lctacl'ing the shot, SO
that the water cannot wash out the
bottom caught in the conical cup
Thus Commander Bclknap has discov'
cred practical and unfailing method
OF not only bringing up safely larger
amount OF bottom from the ocean bed
than has hitherto been brought up
but also as much water as is caught
between the two valves in the lowe
cylinder 1T the moment of striking the
bottom.

The Wrong Spring.

The following story is from Bartlett
Springs, where, as is we'll known, there
are IL number of small springs POSSESS
ing various qualities. The water of
some is recommended for drinking
purposes, Of others for bathing, or for
the cure of certain diseases but the
one to which our narrative refers is q
small sod;, spring, the water of which
is considered an cxccll' ut drink, and
the spring recommended FOR the cure
Of corns.
1t seems that an old gentleman who
was troubled with corns made it u
practice to go to the soda spring every
evening and give his corns soak be
fore turning in for the night, under
the impression that it was the corn
spring. The aristocratjc visitors like
wise made it practice to go to the
soda spring and take II drink before
retiring, which was usually a little
after the old gentleman gut through
soaking his corns. They were rather
fast,tlious in their tastes, and would
carefully rinse out the cup before
taking IL drink, but one evening one
OF them happened to come down a

The DOy Butler.

In his younger days Ben Butler was
school teacher at Dracut, little
place opposite Lowell, and among his
scholars was a boy named Ray, who
subsequently became an Episcopal
clergyman, and finally developed into
a newspaper writer. Butler was then
iank, long.haired, cross-eyed, queer
looking character, and was the terror
Of the scholars. He often got into an
uncomfortable rage with them, and
fell upon them with tongue and rattan.
One day Ray gave him offcnse in some
way. Butler made speech ut him,
wild in its invective Every much
like his more recent speeches), threat
ening him with murder, slaughter,
and all sorts of horrors, and
finally, losing all self control, he made
rush for the offender, who, however,
srrang for the door, got out, and took
to his heels. Butler seized Il big jack
knife, which was laying open on his
desk, leapcd over the benches, and,
with hatlcss head, heelless slippers
and long-ta,lcd coat, gave chase. The
boy was fleet of foot, and ran for dear
life, getting ahead of the stumbling
teacher. Butler kept up the race,
however, yelling after his flying victim,
pursued him through Dracut, crossed
the bridge over the Merrimack
river ut the height Of his
speed, entered Lowell Mt full
gallon, blowing tremendously, and
rushed through the streets after his
prey, to the amazement Of the men.

witness the scene. 1t was Big Bethel
affair or Fort Fisher explosion. The
boy escaped, aud, getting to his home
after two hours race, made faces al
Butler from the second story, who
bursting with chagrin, had to pick NJ
his collapsed nerves and wend hi
way back to Dracut, with the CLOSED
inck knife in his pocket. The story
would not he worth recalling if it wer'
not SO very characteristic of Butler.

Singular Ease Of Trance.

From the Rochester IN: " Union.
About six weeks ago, Miss Crowell, n
