I'iiti flariuu ciutc —A Wonder- Jul Invention— Nearly Two nmidred I'cel Tudcr Water. Tho tolpa marina, or marine mole, is a recent invention of Signor Tossolli, of Naples, by which he descends into tne sea with plenty of rir and plenty oi room, and is enabled to continue for four hours his minute scientific obeer- I vations on surrounding submarine life, at a deph of 31 fathoms (ISO feet) un der water. and his wonderful machine lias been built at Sestri do Bonento, near Geno va, after Signor Tosselli’s plans, and tlto inventor made his first experiment in the Lay of Naples, on the 26th of August in tho presence of tho local authorities and several officers of the INtyal Navy. We give a translation of a description of tho apparatus as ! printed in an Italian periodical, L’ltal (d Bueva : “ It is 4 yards and 8 inches long, eylitidyrical in form, aud made entirely of iron and bronze. Its diam etei is about 1 yard 4 inches. It is divided into four superposed compart ments or diaphragms, the central one being reserved for tho diverse. Tho upper chamber contains the compress ed air necessary for resperation dur ing immersion. The lower chumber acts like tho air-bladder of fishes as it i increases or diminishes the weight of tho machine proportionally to the quantity of water it displaces. Final ly’, the last compart, which is at tho end of the cylinder, is filled with the necessary quantity of lead to keep the machine in a vertical position, like an aerometer. Several holes, fitted with bronze round the surface, admit of various contrivances, with it would be incomprehensible how a man, hermet ically shut up in what may be called an iron castle, could catch, external ob jects, bore, secure by the means of ropes, and collect them. ” Tho samo paper in its following number (August 27) adds: “We have received letters from Naples which confirm tho reported success of Signor Tosselli’s first descent into the Bay of 1 Naples, by means of his diving appar atus, at a deph of 35 fathoms—namely under a pressure of six atmospheres. Tho weather could not have been lovelier, nor the sea more calm. As soon as the crowd of distinguished in vited witnesses had arrived at Baja— the chos'.n pin- e for the experiment— they were met by Admit al do Yny and his staff. “ The experiment began at noon. After soundings had been taken, tho machine, then empty, was sunk into sea, and left for some time at a depth of 30 falhoras, to try if it would bear ! that pressure without being smashed ; j as soon, however, as it was again seen j floating upon tho surface of tho water j without having received the slightest | injury, the bystanders ceased to enter tain doubts of Signor Tosselli’s saitety while, perfectly’ calm, g< t into his ma rine mole, and descended s’owly to tho bottom oi’ the sea. The lowering oi l tire machine through thirty fathoms of water took three and one halt minutes. When, alter awhile, it was seen float- I ing again, and when the lid opened, I iSignor Tusselli came out smiling and serene, cheering burst out on cv- j cry -side. “During his sojourn at the bottom ! of the sea Signor Xosselli wrote the following report of his experiment to ! the well-known director of the lioyal Observatory of the Yesuvium. Signor * Polmieri, who was a witness ot the ex- j perimont, and expressed himself high- | iy satisfied with it: “ ‘Sir; The sensations I experience at this moment are so strange and numerous, that should I wait to write them down I atn sure they would slip from my memory. “ ‘ First of all, I must tell you that the water here does not look like itself any longer, but seems to be a motion less mass of transparent glass, quite luminous enough to allow of reading or writing. “ ‘ The bottom of the Sea seemed at first to hurry toward me; thou i saw it stop, and, after a while, glide away .um me. I was quite astonished at this, and almost feared lest my eyes should bo diseased; but, by observing that the movement of the manometer kept in direct communication with the sea, I felt reassuied, having at once sur mised the cause of the apparent move ment. When I fancied the bottom of the sea was running towards, it was a proof that I was sinking with a certain speed; when the bottom seemed to have stopped moving, it was myself, in fact, did not move ; and when the bot tom sunk rapidly as if moving away from me, I was then ascending toward the surface. “ ‘ It is very amusiug to seo so many fishes swimming to and l'ro on all sides, and to be able to enjoy so curious a spectacle without experiencing the s igUtest inconvenience. “ ‘ Such, sil ence prevails here that it would seem terrible to some people ; but I consider ' it, on the contrary, a peculiar sort of j pleasure to breath in such a medium, j “‘The barometer marks 81 ceuti metres presmite, the igrometer in my ' cell indicates 20 degrees, and the one outside only 15. The manometer com munication with the sea shows the depth to bo 13 fathoms. The other manometer still marks two atmos pheres, which tells me that thero is yet air enough in the chambor to allow mo to stop hero four hours longer, without running any danger of suffo cation. “ ‘ All the contrivances of my ma chine perfectly answer the purpose I 1 1 had iu view, ’except the lid, which ■ shuts and opens too slowly. ! j “‘ I can venturo to say that T have I hit the mark at once. This makes me 1 teel an indescribable joy, which I wish I to share with you, and with all those j honored and illustrious persons, who, j by favoring mo with their presence, 1 have generously offered to my weary mind the best of ail remunerations. . Yours, Ac,, “‘ G. B. TOySELLI. ‘‘ ‘ From tho bottom of tho Bay of Naples! ” ’ . Signor Tossolli also wrote tho follow ing letter to tho directors of the engine manufactory at Sestri di Ponouto, which, we think, is almost ass ull of in terest as his report to Professor Pul mien : “ Messrs. JFttiemuum Brothers, En gine Alton*fact were, at Sestri: “ 1 inform, you, without delay, that I put my marine mole to the test yes terday, before several military, civil, and scientific authorities, who had told me that tho sea was much deeper at Baja than anywhere in the neigh borhood. They kindly deceived mo out of anxiety lor my lrfe, for on reach ing tlto bottom I could read on the manometer that tire depth, instead of b> ing ~v>, as I hud. w ishod, was only 31 fathoms. At any rate tho deptli at which I have descended is far below tho depth which divers have as yet reached with their usual apparatus. The time from the moment I signalled telegraphically for my departure from tlto bottom of tho sea to my arrival at tho surface, was three minutes, as some bystanders said three minutes and a half, which constitutes a great differ ence in favor of my machine, if com pared with what a common diver would have been able tfl acheive with his apparatus, which would have em ployed not loss than 7 0 minutes to pierce tho samo thick layer of svatei. It is well known that the greatest number of fatal accidents occurring to divers are to be ascribed to the sud den transition {ton a very high pres sure to a much lower one, and that they can only avoid this by ascending slowly at the rate of forty inches per minute, and not more. “The pressure inside my marine molo being exactly the same near tho surface of the sea as at a depth of 55 fathoms, I could dart with impunity from tho bottom to the surface, like a fish, without experiencing any pain in my lungs. This is one ot the greatest advantages of lay invention, and of which 1 had not even thought or hoped before. "I wish to share tho pleasure of my triumph with all the clever mechanics of your establishment,-who have built my machine with so much care. By acting thus towards them, I do noth ing else than my duty, because 1 know how few people do justice to the great merit of those, who, with their tools I and their exhausting labor, succeed in I giving a de facto existence to t' 0 pro-' j ducts of intelligence.

The examples of material influence aio countless. Solomon himself re cords tho words of wisdom that fell from a mother’s lips and Timothy was taught the Scriptures from a child by his grandmother. John Randolph of Roanoke used to say: “1 should have been a French atheist, wore it not for the recollection of the time when tny departed mother used to take my little hand iu hers, and make«.tne say, on my bended knees, “Our Father who art in Heav en !’ ” “I have found oat what mado you the man you are,” said a gentleman j one morning to President Adams; | “I have been reading your mother’s ; letters to her son.” | Washington’s mother trained her hoy to truthfulness and virtue; and when his messenger called to tell her that her son was raised to tho highest btati.'ii in the nation’s gift, she could say: “George always was a good boy.” A mother’s teats dropped on tho bead of her little boy one evening as be sat in the doorway and listened, while she spoke of Christ and his sal vation. ” ‘ Those tears made mo a mission ary,” saiil lie when ho bad given lus manhood’s prime to the service of the Dord.

Vagaries, of a Starving Jiao. J Mr. Evarts, who was lost in the Yel lowstono, contributes to Scribner’s t»r interesting account of his “Thirty seven Hays of Peril.” We quote : ! I lost all sense of time. Hays nml I nights canio and went, and were nutu j bored only by tho growing eonsciuus neas that I wus gradually starving. I j ielt no hunger, did not eat to ajipeaso I appetite, hut to renew strength. I ux ; poriemfcd but little paiu. The gaping sores on my feet, the sev»>ro burn ou my hip, the teateriug crevices at llio joints of my fingers, all terrible iu ap pearance, had ceased to give mo the least concern. The roots which sup plied my food had suspended tho di gestive (tower of the stomach, and their fibres were packed in it in a matted, compact mass. “Not so with ray hours of slumber. They were visited by the most luxuri ous dreams. 1 would apparently vis it tho most gorgeously decorated res taurants of New York and Washing ton ; sit down to immense tables spread with the most appetizing vi unds ; partake of tho richest oyster stews and plumpest pics ; engage my self in tho labor and preparation of curious dishes, and with them fill rango upon range of elegantly fur nished tables, until they fuirly groan ed beneath tho accumulated dainties prepared by my own hands. Frequently tho entire night would seem to have been spent in getting up a sumptuous dinner. 1 would realize tho fatigue of roasting, boiling aud fabricating the choicest dishes known to modern cui sine, and in my disturbed slumbers would enjoy with epieurian relish the food thus furnished to repletion. Alas ! there whs more luxury than life in these somnolent vagaries. * * “By some process which I was too weak to solve, my arms, legs and stomach were transformed into so ma ny traveling companions. Often for hours 1 would plod nloug conversing with tlie-e imaginary friends Each hal his peculiar wants which ho ex pected me to.supply. The stomach was importunuhle iu his demand for a change of diet—complained incessant ly ol the roots I fed to him, their present effect anil more remote conse quences. 1 would try to si lon co him w.th promises, beg of him to wait a few days, and when this failed ol tho quiet 1 desired, I would sook to iu timidato him by declaring, as a sure result of negligence, our inability to reach home alive. All to no purpose —he tormented me with his fretful humors through lie entire journey. 'The others would generally concur with him in these fancied uitoreatious. T.ie legs implored me for rest, aud the arms complained that I guVe them too much to do. Troublesome as they were, it was a pleasure to roqjH that presence. I worked for thorn, too, with right good will, doing many tilings for their seeming comfort, which, had I fell myself alone, would have remained undone. They ap peared to bo perfectly helpless of ill in selves ; would do nothing for me or for each other. I oftoued wondered, w hile they ate aud slept so much, that they did not uid m gathering wood mid kindling fires. Asa oouiitui’poiso to their own inertia whvnavur they dis covered languor in mo ou necessary occasions, they wore-not wanting iu words of encouragement and cheer. 1 retail 1, as 1 write, uuiustanou where, hv prom [it and timely into: position, the representative of the stomach saved me from a death of dreadful agony. One day l came to a small stream issuing from a spring of mild temperature on the hillside, swarming with minnows. I caught some with my hands and ate them jaw. To my taste they were delirious. But the stomach refused them, accused me of attempting to poison him, and would not be reconciled until I had emptied my [much of tho lew fish 1 had put there for future use. The minerals in the spring had poisoned them, and those that 1 had oaten made me very sick.” ( arv of I lie Feel. Concerning this subject the Scien tific American very truly says : “Many are careless in the keeping of the feet If they wash them once a week they think they are doing well. They do not consider that the largest pores of the system are located in tho bottom of the loot, and that the most offensive matter is discharged through these pores. They wear stockings from tho beginning to the ond ol tho week without change, which becomes com pletely saturated with offensive mat tor. 1.1 health is generated by such treatment of the feet. The pores are not repellents' but ahsorbauts, and this fetid matter, to a greater or lefts extent is taken back into the system.
