"Puck" puts the following account
of American politics into the mouth
of the London Times: "The Repub.
lican or Locofoco party in the United
States have nominated Chester A.
Garforth, Esq, Of Ohio, Illinois, as
their candidate to replace Mr.. Ruther-
ford b. Halves, who has been i'm
pcached for habitual inebriety. This
nomination is conceded to be a severe
blow to the prospects ofahe Wing OF
Democratic party, who now hold the
administration of affairs, and who are
under the leadership 6fMr. G. w.
Tilden, the Governor of Grammercy
Territory, which lies at the confluence
of the Swanee and Salt rivers"

The farmer who will work his
brains till noon and his horses the rest
of the day will outstrip him who rises
at five and tolls until nine at night.
Our most successful farmers are not
those who work the hardest at manual
labor, but they work nevertheless with
all their energies. The time has come

Breathing Under Water---The
New Discovery.

New discovery.
The "mysteries of the mighty deep
will soon cease TO be. The topography
of the oceans bottom with its NOUN
tains and valleys, its plains and yolca-
noes, will soon be as familiar to MS as
the earth's surface. The school room
of the future will no doubt be suppl
ed!with maps Of the sub-aqueOus re-
gion. The apparatus by which a diver,
encascd in gutta percha afmor, could

bottom Of the sea while two. orthree
men were pumping air to Miu fhrough
long India rubber tubebwdygega gard
ed as a triumph of invention. But n
is clumsy, expensive, announcement and
dangerous compared with a late dis
covery by Mr.. Fleuss, an Eaglishman,
belonging to the British India Com
panv. His method Of breathing and
walking under water, though scien-
tifc and founded on a knowledge Of
chemistry, is so simple that practical
scientists are ready to cudgel them
selves for not having thought of it
before. There is no air pump-no
gearing-no tube preceding from the
helmet Of the diver to the surface
above. All the means of breathing
under the water are contained within
the India rubber dress and helmet in
which the diVeris Theoretically sealed.
The air we breathe is composed Of one
part of oxygen and four parts of
nitrogen mechanically combined. But
the oxygen is the real life supporter
and is the only one of the two gases
that form air which is absorbed into
the system by breathing. The nitro
gen is inhaled and breathed out
without being changed in quantity or
quality. Therefore il, is only necessa-
ny for the diver TO take down with
him a supply of oxygen, for enough
nitrogenso dilute it with is contained
in his lungs and his diving dress. BY
Mr.. Fleuss' method, the oxygen is
taken in a compressed FIRM in the
divers helmet, from (which he can
permit il to escape in Quantities need |
ed by a valve which is under his con-
troll. Thus the diver carries his breath
ing material with him as he walks |
about under the water III his hermct-
ically sealed dress
But the great problem was how to
get rid of the poisonous carbonic acid
gas, which is exhaM by the lungs.
Chemistry again std Al to the aid of
Mr.. Fleuss and sokE tWS problem in
a beautifully simple way. Each breath
as it is eXhaled is, by an arrangement
of tubing, made to pass through tin
case containing a.Solution n caustic
soda. The poisonous cafBenic acid
gas is chemically taken mp by the
soda and forms with. it the harmless
domestic compound carbonate of
'Oi Mr.. Fle,A made his diving dress
with his own hands, and a. the first
public exhibition of his method re-
manned under water more than an
hour.
1t is thought his discovery will not
only be useful in recovering treasures
and drowned bodies from the sea, but
will be invaluable as enabling men to
explore mines and wells that are filled
with deadly gases, and tiremen to
penetrate into burning houses full a.
smoke.
