The American Healtheries company Intend In-tend as t be chief end of ila existence to ea-tatdisli ea-tatdisli and maintain just such exhibitions on thin hide of l lie ocean as have proved hiub great succo.-es in Knglnnd.

New York Herald. A Safely Lump for Mines, A new safety lamp for mines a rectangular rectan-gular box of ebonite containing accumulators accumula-tors of the IJollak system, and resting on a inet.il plate is described iu a London jnuninl, with the statement that, with the mode ex peri men ted with nnd weighing BOmo 1 ,f U0 grnms, a perfectly constant light of 0.7 to 0.S candle power waa givcu forth for twelve hours. Iu this device an ebonite lid serves as support for aglow lump inclosed in a cylinder of thick glass, the whole- covered with a metal top fixed closely by means of pins, tho junction being be-ing made hermetic by a leaf of soft caoutchouc caout-chouc introduced between the top and the box. Into the lid are inserted rods of an iuoxf-dizablu iuoxf-dizablu metal, which pass through it, and supportnt their bases contacts of platinum, these mcetirm the platinum eontactsof the accumulators, and having nt their sum-! sum-! mita springs, one of which is in metallic l connection with a font of tho lamp; the other foot of tbo lamp is insulated and can ! bo brought in contact with a pole of the accumulator by means of a needle introduced intro-duced into a horizontal channel made la tho lid. As the contacts are in the luterior of tho box and the lid, neither the opening nor the closing of the current can cause au explosion, ex-plosion, hence tho lamp can lie either ignited ig-nited or extinguished in an inflammable atmosphere. Again, the advantage presents pre-sents itself that, if the system or arrangement arrange-ment is dismounted, or if the gloss globa of the glow lamp is broken, tho lamp is extinguished. A New Llvory.
