Mr., alter Close. of this city, has invented a uew
self acting bell buoy, the first one OF which is iHst
approaching completion At the Hinckey d Egcry
Iron Co ; works on Oak street This machine
which Mr. Close has patented is composed OF
two vessels or boats. made of boiler iron. watel
tight and hinged together The forward boat
is T. feet long by feet beaTl and about b feet
depth The after one is OF the same beam and
depth, but is only feet in length On the
forward boat is 4 frame which supports a large
bell. and the after boat is a similar frame from
which like arms extend two long iron bars notch
ed with teeth or cog work their entire length
These arms are 50 arranged on the forward boat
as 70 connect with wheels, also cogged, and which
wheels, when in motion. move a heavy iron lever
which acts as the tongue Of the bell Now, Whcl
the motion of the sea moves the two boats. the
motion Of each is naturally different, one going W
and the other going down, and the cog works in
evi'ably moved, and the bell rung These boats
provi led with keels. to which a cable and an
chor, tone for each boat is attached and the
boats are held at any anchorage desired, 10 rock
drilling being required to make them fast, as in
the case with most buoys. The bell strikes very
loud and il would be valuable machine in many
places The trial boat will probably be anchored

THE PROSPECTS AND ADVANTAGES OF BATH.
We quote from the address of President Andrew
J. Fuller before the Bath Board of Trade as
follows: | hesitate to believe that there is not
that public spirit that there ought to be to insure
our real business prosperity. Still, | believe the
outlook for the future is more hopeful than
year ago Our legitimate business, ship building,
the prospect for good years business looks well.
Bath has become largely manufacturing city for
ships and other class of vessels, as Lowell has for
cotton goods and carpeting; contractor sends his
order tor any class vessel, steam or sail, and re-
ceiveS his vessel all fitted for sea as he does his
bales of sheeting and carpeting: then many of our
capitalists build vessels ter their use equal if
not superior to any of the same class of ships in
the world For the past year, most of our deep
sea vessels have been paying their owners fair
remuneration and as are to day the largest
wooden ship building port IN the world, our State
stands second in point Of tonnage i'll the United
States. onr other manufacturing interests have
been prosperous other cities. We have no
cotton mills to be sure, but We have some other
kind of industries, that are very creditable to be
located in any town or city. We have of the
best cordage factories in the country which is at
work all the time to fill its orders: we have two
large block factories which seem to be well en-
ployed large engine and boiler shop which is do
| ing well and will faithfully execute all orders pre-
scented, also brass factory doing thriving bust
ness: large mandatory for anchors turning ont
as good work can be found; of the largest
louuuIieS III the STATE, turning out very superior
wares largely wanted for ship building ard other
purposes; also smaller foundry doing as learn
a good business; also factory for furnishing all
kinds of building material to order besides many
| other industries such as boat builders, carriage
builders mills for grinding corn, salt and coffee
and spices. SO upon the whole we quite in
dustrious people. Still there is room for more and
we think we can show the capitalist that Bath has
many natural advantages, that but few other
places possess We have one OF the finest harborS
in the United States, easily accessible at all
Of the year with sufficient depth of water for
any vessel that floats. also accessible from all
points by rail. so that the matter of transportation
must be cheap to and from here as any other
place With energy and concert OF action Of our
| capitalists this might be made one of the safest
and cheapest grain exporting points in the States
Our large wharves and deep water will accommo
date steamers or sailing ships of any size, or
two days nearer Europe than Boston or New lork
with port charges and pilotage much less
