sion of a fire. That it was not the WORN
Of an ~incendiary is evident for these rea'

the engine house is not located right Tor
such a purpose. 1t is a small slight

The Pressure of the Seat is often
asked when an ocean-going vessel has been
lost at sea, and ii is supposed she has foun-
dered, why none of her timbers rise to the
surface again and float, as submerged wood
will nearer shore. The explanation is
that if the vessel has been sunk in deep
water, the pressure to which it is subjected
will be so great that certain quantity Of
water will be forced into the pores of the
wood, and thus render it SO heavy that,
even when detached from the ship, piece
of timber could not float. 1t is because of
this constantly and rapidly increasing
pressure, too, that diver cannot descend
to any great distance below the surface.
Fishes have, however, been caught at a
depth at which they must have borne
pressure of no less than eighty tons to each
square foot of their bodies

A Submarine Electric Lamp-An ex-
pertinent was made recently at Greenock
on the TyNy, small steamer built on the
CLYDE for the Batavian fisheries. The
ship has been fitted with powerful electric
arc-lamp of $4,000 candle power, which
can be lowered into the sea, and is intended
to be used in the fisheries for attracting
the fish to the nets Flexible conductors
convey the current to the lamp, which can
be raised or lowered by davits and pulleys
from the ships side. The lamp is enclosed
in aint-glass cylinder 81 inches in diane
ter by 141 inches long, and is protected by
copper grating. Atthe trial on the Clyde
the lamp was submerged for four hours
while lighted, and the appearance Of the Y
Illuminated water was very beautiful.

Howe, written upon the acceptance of the
presidency of the woman's department OF
the Worlds Exposition, at New Orleans.
The great Exposition is to be congratu-
lated on this acceptance of the position by
Mrs. Howe. She is woman who COM
Dimes remarkable gifts in several different
directions, and in those important direc-
lions that usually become specialties-
Hers is culture, indeed, in its true sense
and its wider Specification, for it is that
which can apply itselfto practical occasions,
or to any need of humanity. AS literary
woman alone, or as an elegante of society,
Mrs. Howe would be accorded the highest
place among American woman, I am sure
[ may say without invidious distinction.
For regarding the first claim, one need
only mention the immortal "Battle Hymn
Of the Republic" to feel that its author
will live in our literature as in other liter
atures live the authors of the Odyssey, the
Hneid, the Faust. AS the elegant woman
of social life, Mrs. Howe has met and
mingled with the choicest circles of life at
home and abroad. In Paris, London,
Athens, Rome, genius, fashion, beauty
and titled nobility throng to honor her.
And that woman who, from early girl
hood, has received this delicate homage,
and whose subtlety ofintellectual processes,
whose keen wit and brilliant genius give
her such sway in the literary world, THAT
she turns from this to espouse the cause of
the most unpopular reform, if it appeal to
her sense Of justice and truth, that she
brings all these rarest gifts to the service
of humanity and that she ennobles and
exaIts all life that in any degree touches
her own is something so rare among the
class of minds to which hers belongs, that
it may support and justify the belief that
of all women Of the age the highest is Julia
Ward Howe. The artist is prone to de-
vote himself to art alone; yet Mrs. Howe,
pre-eminently gifted in this direction, real
ICES the more spiritual ideal of consecrating
all powers to the charging and uplifting
of humanity. Thus Mrs. Howe brings to
your work prestige that will insure the
widest cooperation and grand success.
AS the matter develops in Boston | Will
endeavor to send you notes of the details
and management.
