Diving Bells on a &ew Principle.
An interesting application of electrical light to di
ving bells under water has been found very useful.
The apparatus employed for that purpose consists
of a glass cylinder, with a lens throwing parallel rays
and containing the electro-galvanic battery. When
ever the diver desires to have light, he has but to
turn a small screw', when the electric currents, issu
ing through points of charcoal, are brought so close
ly together as to become incandescent, and to gene
rate light for at least two hours, of an intensity suffi
cient to light up perfectly a circle of eighty feet di
ameter.

How to make a Truthful Barometer.
Take a clean glass bottle, and put in it a small
quantity of finely pulverized alum. Then fill up the
bottle with spirits of wine. The alum will he per
fectly dissolved by the alcohol, and in clear weather
the liquid will he ns transparent as the purest water,
i >ri the approach of rain or cloudy weather, the alum
will he visible in a flaky', spiral cloud in the centre
of the fluid, reaching from the bottom to the surface.
Thus a cheap, simple and beautiful barometer is
placed within the reach of all who wish to possess
one. For simplicity of construction, this is altogeth
er superior to the frog barometer in general use in
tiler many.

A letter from Rev. Charles Hibbard, Missionary
in Burrnah, to his father, Joseph Robinson., of this
city, has been handed to us for publication, from
which we make the following extracts.— Providence
Journal.
Newton, Maulmain, June G, 1855.—Dear Father—
Will you kindly say to Mr. Davis that Mrs, Hibbard
and myself, and indeed, I might add all who came
out with us, feel very grateful for the box of Pain
Killer he gave us when we left cur native land for
Burrnah. I have used it for coughs, colds, violent
internal pains, summer complaints, burns, bruises,
and for the sting of scorpions with uniform success.
The only severe spasm of the stomach which Mrs.
Hibbard has had in Burrnah, was instantly relieved
by the Pain Killer. We always keep it where we
can put our hands on it in the dark, if need be. Al
though I took Mr. Nesbit’s box when lie returned to
America, yet it is all gone but three or four bottles,
and that would have been gone long ago, had I not
refused to part with it. The Karens are beginning
to learn its value, and call for it, but I have to deny
them, except in doses, for we could not think of be
ing without it.

Dr. H. E. Morrill, a skillful Physician of
New York City,
In his remarks on Dyspepsia, says—The most ef
fectual medicine to improve the tone and energy of
the stomach, is that prepared by Dr. Geo. B. Green,
and called the Oxygenated Bitters.
I would publish the recipe for preparing this val
uable medicine, if I knew what it was, but as I do
not, I can only recommend its use. It seems to me
to be improperly called “Bitters,” at least in the pop
ular acceptation of that term, for it contains no alco
hol or other spirit, and is rather sour than bitter.—
Though here by the way, I cannot too earnestly
caution the dyspeptic sufferer against using “Bitters,”
the basis of which is alcohol or other ardent spirits.
They no more impart real energy to the stomach,
than a whip gives strength to a horse. The stimu
lation which they excite is only temporary, and sure
to he followed by a reaction, which at length will in
evitably wear out the stomach. The medicine of
which I am speaking, obviates these objections.

On such Subjects the Testimony of Woman
should be conclusive.
New York, August 2, 1852.—Mrs. Clute, of No.
272 Second street, believing her child, about three
years old, to be troubled with worms, purchased one
bottle of Dr. M’Lane’s Celebrated Vermifuge, pre
pared by Fleming Bros., Pittsburg, Pa., and gave it
two tea-spoonsful, which had the effect of causing
the child to discharge a large number of worms.—
The child is now enjoying good health. Wc would
advise all parents who may suspect their children to
be troubled with worms to lose no time, but imme
diately purchase and administer Dr. M’Lane’s Cele
brated Vermifuge. It will cure. The money will
be refunded in all cases where it does not give satis
faction.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. M’-
Lane’s Celebrated Liver Pills, manufactured by
Fleming Bros, of Pittsburg, Pa. All other Vermi

return, medicine and directions to suit their case, for

cured upon this plan, with a great saving to the af
flicted ; some of them living from 50 to over 100

wc have had the consolation of meeting others after
their convalescence.
The undersigned has been closely engaged in the
