Deep Sea SOundings.

THE curious in such matters will read
with interest a brief description Of the
process by which navigators are able to
obtain samples of the earth lying at the
bottom of the ocean. The machine used
sounding is known as the Thomson
machine, having been patented by Sir
William Thomson, of London 1t consists
of drum or wheel thirty inches in diam
eter, on the edge of which is V shaped
fiange in which the wire is wound This
drum is mounted on platform extend
ing over the ships side, and has on the
axle register which shows the number
of revolutions. There is also an appara-
tus TO control the running out of the wire,
and another for Keeling in the wire. The
sounding cup is the invention of Com
mander Bclknap of the United States
navy. 1t consists Of rod about two
feet long, with an auger at one end and a
sliding cup which when the rod descends,
incloses the auger and retains the mud.
ooze, or gravel which is collected. To
the rod is connected a fifty-fye pound
shot, and the material used for lowering
and raising is the No. 90 piano wire,
weighing fourteen pounds to the mile.
The wire is made to run slowly at first,

When bottom is reached the drum stops
turning, but with the motion of the ship
viii start again and make three or four
turns in sluggish way, which TO the ex-
perienced is sure sign that the sinker
is on the bottom. Sometimes, when the
ship is rolling badly, the drum will come
almost to dead stop, and those unac-
customed to the machine would think
that the sinker had struck, but in mo
ment the drum starts again, and runs
more rapidly than ever. The machine
itself is SO simple, and occupies so little

Chambers.

This terrible disease is more prevalent
at the present time, perhaps, than ever
before. We call it terrible" because it
is always fatal to animals afflicted with
il, and also to men who become poisoned
by contact Of it's virus with a cut or sore
or bruise, and the death following is
most painful one.
Why is it now SO prevalent? Doubt
less in some degree as a sequence TO the
epiZootic of the last two years. The
horses were left in a condition rendering
them more susceptible to contagious dis
eases, and more liable to suffer from UNI
favorable circumstances. We know that
men, in certain condition of their sys-
TEN, will take malarious or infectious
diseases when at other times they can
be exposed without harm. So we be-
lieve that bad ventilation of stables, inn
proper food, or too little of it, overwork
ing, want of care generally, will render
horse liable to CHAMBERS or farcy at the
present time when before the epiZootic
he would have been exempt.
And what is the condition of many of
the stables in this State? Is there such
an atmosphere within them as any ami
NAL ought to breathe? Is it not, in many
instances, almost sufiocating to men who
enter them? What would induce the
owners of horses to sleep one night in
the average stall, even if they had hair
mattress under them? Would not the
ammonia from the stall seriously affect
the eyes and ears of the sleeper? And
vet we keep our horses there day after
day and night after night
Why should the bedding, soaked and
filthy las it often is, be placed under the
crib in the morning, compelling the horse
to breathe its effiuvia all day? How
many stalls are used month after month,
without being washed out or purified
with any dsnfectant? Is it strange that
horses suffer from "pink-eye and cough
and CHAMBERS?
1t IS question which some people ask,
if the epizootic of 1872 was not sent TO
make us appreciate the value of horses,
and the latter forms Of it to warn US to
take better care OF them.
We do not propose to attempt to de
scribe CHAMBERS or farcy, but only rec
ommend owners who have any suspicion
of these diseases to apply to good
veterinary If the horse is affected with
either of them he will order the animal
killed, and the stall where he stood to be
thoroughly purified by carbolic acid and
whitewash, and the harness and every
thing that has been worn by or used
about the horse TO be thoroughly
cleansed
As the disease is both contagious and
infectious, if the virus from a glandered
horse comes in contact with cut, sore
or bleeding surface on another horse, or
if a horse is confined in the same stable
with one having the CHAMBERS, the disease
is liable to be communicated
We repeat, that the disease Is dan
gerous one, and every means should be
taken by everybody to prevent it's spread,
by treating, feeding and using their
horses correctly, by keeping their stables
clean and with good ventilation, and
by Immediately killing horses having the
disease. Our Dumb Animais

room, that any cruiser might carry one
as part of her outfit and make sound
ings from time to time, when getting up
steam in calm weather, or for the pur-
pose of going into port.
Commodore Ammen is now having
manufactured some piano wire weighing
twenty pounds to the statute mile,
which is designed for use in the upper
spices where the depth is 1000 fathoms
or more. This will decrease the liability
of breakage and consequent loss of large
amounts of wire.
With the above machine and apparatus
Commander Belknap has recently taken
a series of deep-sea soundings in the Pa
citic, the result being an important addi-
ton to geological science, together with
more valuable information as to ocean
currents.-Neo York Observer.

There is class of persons in this
world, by no means small, whose promi-
nent popularity is whining. They whine
because they are poor, or, if rich, be-
cause they have no health TO enjoy their
riches; they whine because it is too
sunny; they whine because they have
no luck, and others prosperity exceeds
theirs; they whine because some friends
have died and they are still living; they
whine because they have aches and
pains, and they have aches and pains be.
cause they whine; and they whine, no
one can tell why. Now word TO these
whining persons. First, stop whining
it is Of no use complaining, fretting,
fault-fnding and whining. Why, you
are the most deluded set of creatures
that ever lived! Do you not know that
il IL well.settled principle of physiology
and common sense that these habits are
more exlIausting 10 nervous vitality than
almost any other violation of physiologi-
cal law? And do you not know that life
Is pretty much as you make itY You
can make it bright and sunshiny, or you
can make it dark and shadowy. This
life is meant only to discipline us-.to fit
us for higher and purer state of being.
Then stop whining and fretting, and 60
on your way rejoicing .-Standard.

Alfred Gallagher,dry goods merchant at 1876 Mar
ket street. has just completed the enlargement
and remodeling of the building purchased by
him, last spring, at the s. w. corner of Second

now four story building, or five including the
basement The first story or basement is hand
somely fitted up, and in it is kept muslins tick
ings and other heavy cotton goods. The second
floor is level with the pavement, and here is the
handsomest and one of the best lighted and
best ventilated rooms in the city. The show
windows and transomH contain over 2, 400 feet
of heavy plate glass. The inside is handsomely
fitted up and furnished with hard wood, with a
spacious stairway leading to the second story.
This department is devoted TO the lighter fab
RIGS and trimmings. The second story or third
door is used for the sale of cloths, cassimeret
and other heavier goods.
The following mechanics were engaged in ma
king the improvements Carpenter work, Al
exis Borrell Plastering, Stephen Hayes
Stairs, Henry Evans Painting, James M. Bryan
Plumbing, Gawthrop & Bro. Timing, John Il

The Dam On the Brandywine.

HOW THE CITY Is BOUND TO PAY HALF THE En-
PENsE FOR ITS REPAIRS.
At the last meeting of the City Council, Col.
Febiger gave notice that the owners of the mill
turned by water from the lower dam on the
Brandywine would shortly commence repairing
the breast, and ~ the city was bound for one
half the expense the Water Department could
either supply half the laboring force or pay its
equivalent in money. No action being taken. we
understand that the Water Committee prefer
supplying half the force of hands.
The dam breast is IN bad condition, and had
there bsen an ice flood, last spring. like those
which have occurred for some years past the
breast would have been entirely swept
away. To prevent this from occurring next
spring, Mr.. patnall, the half owner of the dam
breast, has ele.ted to repair it hence the re-
commentator Of Col. Febiger.
Since the recent water improvements TO sup
ply the city with water, the lower dam has
ceased to be of use, and SO far as the city was
concerned the dam breast would have been al
lowed 10 be swept away but under the mutual
agreement of 10th parties paying half the ex-
pense, the city could not back out of Its share.
This agreement existed when the city mill be
longed to Mr.. Canby, and when sold to the city
all its obligations and franchises trans ferrcd
along with the mill.
The etys estimated expense in the repairs
