Jus and useful hfe-preserver for passen-
gers and crews was recently exhibited
in Glasgow to a few gentlemen interest
ed in shipping and emigration. The
preserver consists of two pillows of pre-
pared corkwood, with an upper padding
of hair, covered with a mattress tick.
The pillows are attached to each other
IN such a manner that when about to be
used they can be placed one on the back
and the other on the chest and tied, the
head and shoulders thus being kept
above the water. They have been tried,
and the two have been capable of sup
porting man of twenty stone breast
high. The pillow can be made useful
as an article of bedding during the pass
age, and every passenger can in few
minutes notice of danger, put them to
use as ife-preservers. Messrs. Allan,
of the Glasgow and Montreal emigra-
ton steamers, are having the pillow pre-
servers introduced into all their ocean
going steamers,

AMERICAN IRON STEAMERS. The twen-
tieth steamship launched from the ship
yard of John Roach & Son, since Octo-
Der, 1871, was launched at Chester,
Pennsylvania, June 5. She is named
City of New York, and has capacity of
$500 tons, Custom House measurement,
with accommodations for 153 first-class
and 1900 steerage passengers. 1t is just
thirty days ago that the mate of this
magnificent vessel was launched at the
same yards. and in thirty days from now
another ship precisely like her will fol-
low her into the water.
These vessels are iron, 353 feet long
and 404 feet wide and depth of 39s
from the hurricane deck. They are ali
barque rugged and will each spread /, 700
square yards of canvass. The engines
viii be sufficiently powerful to drive the
vessel sixteen miles an hour. Each ship
will have ten metallic life boats capable
of carrying $50, and hfe-rafts that will
carry 500 more. The success of the
Messrs. Roach proves they can beat for
eign ship builders and make money
They have better and cheaper material.

GAMBLING for enormous stakes still
continues in the miniature kingdom of
Monaco. At the saloon of NJ. Leblanc,
an American is said to have lost recently
$50, 900, and a Russian princess, 81
500, 600, at which she went raving mad.
A Scotch duke won $50, 900 in less than
half an hour, and lost all of that and a
great deal more before the end of the
same day. There were three cases of
suicide within week owing to disas-
trous losses. The prince of Monaco re
ceives yearly rental of $50, 600 for
the saloon, and hence he is not disposed
to disturb it.

A NEw MorrvE PowER.-A young San
Francisco mechanic claims to be the in
ventor Of an electric motor for railroad
trains. lie has filed his caveat for a
patent and il s~ndeavoring TO interest
capital in his scheme. The principle is
the construction Of driving wheels OF
enormous electromagnetic. which di-
verge from the center in the same form
rs the spokes Of an ordinary wheel. the
poles Of each magnet terminating with
It's outer circumference. The electric
circuit Ia complete as the magnet i'm
pinges on the steel rails OF the track.
As the poles Of each magnet forming
the driving-wheel approach the track an
enormous magnetic attraction 10 sIerted,
and as they pass the center. or perpen-
dicular point OF the magnet upon the
track. the csrrent is cut OF from each
particular magnet and the attraction
abatsd. The inventor expects that by
the multiplicity Of driving-wheels Of
this kind. any needed power may be sc-
quired. The cumbersome steam boiler
and tender will DO replacedby a magnetic
battery Of tremendous powers. +.

We hope the recommendations Of the

his ability and integrity, and believe that

quotations. etc.. that we relieve u
readers from . reproduction Of the ar
tiols. and briefly state its propositions.
The appeal suggests that a School OF
Mines be established in Nevada; that 1t
be endowed handsomely, and the best
talent in Europe be engaged to conduct
II; and that the Lords Of the Con-
stock" put up the funds for its estab-
lishmsnt and maintenance. IL argues
justly. that no place in the world offers
superior. or equal facilities for Its sue
cessful establishment; that 1t would be
Of vast benefit TO the State. and submits
that u wealthy mine-owners, the men
who have realized millions from the
mineral products Of Nevada, arc album
dantly able aud should be willing
to invest some Of their surplus
wealth in such q beuehcsnt sdu'
catisnal enterprise. We regard the
suggestion as sminently characteristic
both Of Carson. and the Appeal, but
venture to suggost that tho State OF Ne
vada Is. or should be, able to establish
such a school without the special aid OF
private citizens. II would DO . fine
thing for Nevada TO have the bes,
school Of mines in the wcrld, and we be-
lisvs at no distant day she will have one.
We can but think. however. that IL
would Be in far better taste to allow the
wealthy mine owners; the Lords OF

A DREADFUL DENTIST. - The tale
which comes from warTentown, Va, Is
one extremely narrowing in some Of It's
details and remarkable in some Of its
statements. 1t Is a tale Of the doings Of
a dentist; how he grew into the affec.
tons OF the ~populace; how no fiourished
like the bay tree, and how he suddenly
departed leaving behind him evidence
that no was q gay deceiver. Tho base
trifier with molars aud incisors, IL Is as
serted, went to warrentown some time
ago and advertised to take out q whole
mouthful OF teeth for tho small sum Of
50, and to insert nm elegant new set,
warranted never to ache. for $40. on six
months credit. Opportunities for get
ting trust are rare In these hard times,
and the people OF Warrentown were
charmed with this generous dentist.
They came-the healthy aud tho halt,
the lame and the blind-and teeth were
removed by the peck. warrsntown
soon contained u population OF toothless
ones aud all were promised new sets OF
magnificent grinders within a period OF
a few days. Then from n ccrulean
sky fell the thunderbolt! The aban-
doned dentist, the degenerate son OF q
horse-leech. eloped with the tavern
keepers wife and left tho population
toothless and munbling curses on his
villainy. warrsntown is a blighted VIII
lage. The people are now upon a diet
Of soft substances, because what they
cannot chew they must eschew. The
butchers are failing aud so are the
bakers. and the milkmen are becoming
bloatsd monopolists who don't care any
thing about the Louisiana problem.
One man. II is stated. whitfield himself
out a set OF wooden teeth, but happen.
ing to drink Cincinnati whisky. the
teeth were set on fro and he has boon
gathered TO his fathers. There Is ap-
parently a good opening for a tooth car
penter in warrentown, though against
the profession, as n whole, the people
feel now q degree Of prejudice. 1t may
be, however, that the local papers have
somewhat overestimated tho ranges OF
the gentleman who recently left town.
