disasters caused by the collision of veaaels in rivers, channels and at sea. The construction of the device is very simple, and consists of a pair of iron shutters or “fins,” hinged one on either side of the stern post of a ves sel and shutting close to its sides from the stern post forward. The “fins" are kept tightly closed by a simple apparatus on deck, which is connected with the pilot house, and when let go the stays connected with the “fins” allow them to open at right angles with the ship, bringing it at once to a standstill, and bolding it as fast as if anchored. The area of the “fins” is in direct ratio with the size of the ship, and the immediate stoppage of (he vessel when they are suddenly opened is a certainty. “Fins” much larger than arc necessary may be fit- tad to all vessels without looking out of proportion to the size of the ship. K ir ojample, a vessel requiring ''fins" » it n a superficial area of lOOsquuro feet to stop it could be supplied with line of an area of 500 feet, uud they would not look large or disprotionate t the ship. When the tins are re leased the experiment proved that no jarring or shock is experienced, such as is felt on tho railroad when the brakes arc applied. The water being a yielding body, aots as a spring or •-u.sbion. For foggy, weather or dark ness a self-acting guard is rigged out at the bow of a vessel, and should it meet with any rigid body in the path of the ship, when touched it at once r-muses the “tins” and stops the ves sel before it can reach the obstruc- ti"u, without any movement or direc tion on the part of the pilot or navi gating officer. When closed tho “fins” follow the outlino of tho ship, aud, being flush with its sides, can in no way diminish its speed. The in ventor’s first experiment was made with a 37J foot fust steam yacht, to which was attached a pair of “fins” 4 feet long by 24 feet wide. This pow er proved to bo at least twice as muoh as was needed to stop the vessel in stantly when at full speod. A second trial demonstrated this fact when on ly one fin was used. The space trav eled after the brake tvaB applied was s<> small that it could not be discern ed by persons watching the experi ment from tho shunt. To ascertain what sized “fins" would be required to stop a certain steam ship of fourteen hundred tons meas urement, a raft or fiout was construct ed to carry a pair of fins in position, without fixing them to a vessel. The lloat and fins were towed out by a powerful tugboat, being attached thereto by a new six-inch manilla hawser. When the tugboat was go ing at full speed with full steam on, the fins were released, and the effoct was to snap the hawser like u piece of thread, making u roport like u cun non. The fius remained firm. The breaking strain of a six-inch hawser is said to be twenty-seven thousand pounds. The fins used on this occa sion were each 9x8 feet, or together an area of 144 square foot When they were tried with the fourteen hun dred ton vessel they proved abun dantly large, stopping the ship in stantly, and bolding her fast against her power within a less distance than five feet In the opinion of the inventor a collision like that of the Stonington and Narragansett could have boon averted if the steamers had beeu pro vided with the brakes. The Stoning ton— the colliding vessel - had several minutes in which to stop. Tho same number of seconds would have been sufiicieni with the br^kt to bring her to a stundstill. To all whom jit may Concern convenient to the terminus of great railroad lines, and although they have been systematically worked only threo years, the industry has already as earned great proportions. Salt from theso works can be delivered through out , the South at less than the price either of foreign importations or the product of northern works; and Mo bile, which is the chief distributing point, counts upon soon becoming the great salt market of the Missis sippi Valley. BetrtyeS Themselves. A detective declares that men will talk and give themselves away. If they could ouly hold their tongnes they would be safe. An American vessel was mysteriously set on fire at sea and abandoned, but the fire was smothered, and it was afterwards found that her cargo, which bad been insured for large sums, was fraudu lent all the way through, the wine casks being filled with water, etc. The sailors swore that the batches had been closed, and there being no other way of getting into the hold, the cause of the fire was a mystery to everybody. But the captain and mate, both of whom were arrested, soon began to talk. The mate was given to understand that the captain had made a confession, so he was in a hurry to tell all be knew to get out of the scrape himself; and with the mate’s confession to show the captain, there was no difficulty in bringing him out. The thing whs so well con trived that if these men had tout given it away it could never have been found oat. In the cook’s galley, un der each of the four feet of the stove, they put a round block of wood, as if to raide the stove. Undor one of these blocks was a hole opening di rectly into the hold. Under the hole was a lot of inflammablo stuff, well soaked with turpentine. One day, while the cook was out of his gallov, tho captain and mate rnised tho stove, took away tho block, dropped a light ed match through the bole, and the fire was started. These two men not ouly talked themselves into prison, but pat their employers in a pretty scrape. •creed m Mows: ARTICLE I.

A French chemist is said to have invented 11 process by which fabrics can lie permeated by a solution of tin. The method is described as fol lows: He first makes n mixture of zinc powder and dissolved albumen, which ho spreads over the fabric by means of a brush, leaving it to dry, when tho stuff is passed first through superheated steam and afterwards through n solution of chloride of tin. By this means an exceedingly thin layer of tin is spread over the whole I side of the fabric, which is thus ren- I dered water-proof and protected against ordinary rough usage. The utility of tho invention is not quite apparent, for probably few people would care to don garments in which they would bear a very close resom- blauce to animated tin kettles and tea pots, though in the preparation of theatricnl dresses, and even the bright “trimmings” iu which the female heart delights, the invention might find a limited application. Kxplodcd Notions. Salt In the South. Among the stores of mineral wealth which the South is constantly discov ering, none are more remarkable than the great salt mines of Louisiana, a lew miles south of New Iberia. The salt is found iu a solid rock mass which assays ninety-nine per cent of | One by one our old aud ill-founded notions are controverted. Dr. Tan ner’s experience proved that a man almost starved to death may eat rave nously with safety, though the previ ous idea was that he should only be permitted to come to a full diet slow ly. It has been thought that animals or persons when frozen had better be warmed grudnallv, but a series of very thorough experiments carried on in Europe with dogs has shown that of twenty animals exposed to a low tem perature, which was gradually elevat ed, fonrtcon died; of twenty animals brought into a warm apartment, eight died; of twenty animals that were im mediately placed in a warm bath, none died.
