—The Rlining and Srientific Press. Deer Divixc. —The deepest recorded deseeut of uny submarine diver was inade in ovember, 1866, at Brest, in efforts to reach the sunken hall of the English ship Columbian. Two descents were made, each of which reached a depth of 196 feet. In the first instance one of the air-pumps burst at that point, and tho diver was immediately brought to the surface. ‘The diver came up safy and sound Fresh pipes having been secured, the diver on a eubsequent day again mado the descent. Having reached the game depth os before, having remained there for the spnee of nbout eight orten iinutes, he gove the signal to be hanled ap. The signal was immedintely complied with, but before the necessnry time ad expired for the apparatus to reach-the surface, tho diver, inclosed in his armor, wos seen afloat upon the water at a short distance trom the steamer from which the experimentors were Working. He was immediately taken on board in a very exhuusted state. He fainted twico, mt hy the use of proper restorativos was tendered quite comfortable jn about two hours. From the time he reached 180 feet in depth, the indicator showed a pregsnre o] six ntinospheree—ninety pounds per square ineh. Op being takea ou board from the second trial, the @rmor was fonnd to have been broken, so that the water was forcing its way in and filling up the legs of the nppuratus. Aside from that accident, the experiinent proved conclusively that no haman being conld stand a pressure of Ninety pounds to the square inch for any considerable length of time. On the first uttenipt the suhinurine lamp with which he was occompanied was crushed in by the pressare of the water. Mape Monxry Exoveu.—Elias Howe says that le shall not apply for an extension of bis Seving-machine puteat, which expires this year, a3 he has alrendy made a million anda half dollars on it, and thinks that is enough. Mr. Howe is much more remarkable as a man, who has got money enotgh, than as ano inventor. A Leexy Finp.—The Idaho Index of July I1th, snys that it is reported that several days after the Indians made their onslaught on the Chinamen near Summit Spring, and killed and rohhed many, a traveler coming up the road noticed a part of a sack of rice, Picking it up, and emptying out the contents, he discovered & packnge containing nine hundred dollars in coin. Greasy Ores 1n Arizona.—Of nothing hove Our miners complained more than of greasy ores {so culled). This greasiness coats the quicksilver. and prevents amalgamation, ead, of course, the gold floats away. This greasiness is usually, perhaps always, caused by thé presence of Ssteutite or tale in some form. In some furms this bears the name of soap-stone. Every one knows its greasy character. Its coniposition is silicia, magnesia and water. It often contains (especially in Colorado) a small ainount of earbouic acid. Meerchauin is also a variety of tale. ‘Thus much for the coniposition of the mineral substance which causes the trouble. Burning may not remove the difficulty, heeause this coinhbination will not be materially changed by the action of fire. It nlust be some snbstaice that will have a chemical action. Quicklme has been Jound in Many instances to have the desired effect in destroying the oily character, and hos been extensively employed, and with the best of success. In some cases other mineral substances will be found to be the cause of the greasy character, and the ores must in such cases be treated differently. Sometimes roasting the ores removes the difficulty—only praetice and experience cau conquer in every case, Every different ore may require a different treatment. Where the tale or miuerals occur it will often be found necessary, even after horoing, to use some other means, and so with other combinations, while antimony ond arsenic can only be got rid of by roasting.— Arizona Miner. : Tar Bouan Harp isa very simple iustrument, easily constructed, and produces very pleasant music. ‘To make one, take tyo strands of strong sewing silk, well waxed, a single and double twist, fastened to four pegs, one ineh high, on au inch board as long as the width of your window. At ove end the pins ~ should have a thumblet similar to a violin pin, to enable you to draw it taut. Place it in a window, the sash resting on the pins, and whtn the wiad blows you have such souads as the angels love. One string will produce seyeral notes, changing as the wind is gentle or forcible.
