" ?-. ,i;,,ii"' WILLAMETTE FARMER r i How Far Will Bodies Sink in the Ocean? The often repeated inquiries which we re ceive, as to the depth in the ocean at which heavy bodies will float, prove the great prev alence of the error that water is so compressible as to become at certain great depths consider erably heavier, by its own superincumbent mIl. fill.-. li.lL.l lf- A L wpjut. me luui isiuai, uu lue cuuixary, water is one of the least compressible bodies, so that, under a pressure of 7,200 pounds per square inch, corresponding to a depth of three miles, its bulk is only diminished from 1,000 to 978 parts, and its weight or specifics gravity in creased from 1.000 to 1.022. At double this pressure, or 33,600 pounds per square inch, at eiz miles in depth, the compression is double that amount. If a body be capable of floating at such a depth, it must satisfy two conditions: First Its specific gravity mnst be between 1.000 and 1.044. If the SDociflo Gravity is not more than 1.000, it will not sink at all: and if it be 1.014 or above, it will sink to any bottom less than six miles deep. Second The sinking body must be less compressible than water; If it is more compressible, it will grow comparatively heavier all the time it is descending, and can never find a stratum of the same weight, in which it might float in equilibrium. Now all the bodies known to be less compressible than water are much heavier than the limit given; such are stones, metals, etc.; and the amount of their compressibility, as compared with that of water, is bMU problematic But they will certainly all sink to the bottom of the ocean, be it ever so deep. In regard to the bodies of which the specific gravity surpasses that of water slightly, so as to come within the ranjjo under discussion, they are all very compressible. All kinds of wood, when submitted to great pressure, so that all the pores are filled, attain the specific gravity of the primitive wood fiber, the llgnin, of which the speciflo gravity is 1.400; and they will sink to the very bottom, like water-logged wood. So it is with all similar substances: and the theory that there is a oertain depth in which hit or many Domes may noat in tne ooean muBt oe modified to a statement that there are various depths at which certain bodies may be kept floating; but that the cases are extremely rare, exceptional and perhaps only temporary, so that all bodies will finally either sink or float. Scientific American. The New Element-Gallium. . p. MwT LipOllT Wo have already in these columns made al lusion to the new element named gallium, j which has recently been discovered by M. Le-1 coq, an amateur French savant. It was dls I covered through the agency of spectral analy- j sis. Its spectrum is two bright lines in the I violet region. One of these, slightly brighter than the other, is in the 417th degree of the . scale, the other is at the 405th degree, and both in the place occupied by the brightest lines of j zinc. Chemical analysis shows that it is closely related to that metal. It has not yet been isolated, and is known thus far only as a chlor ide and sulphate. ! Up to the Present time onlv a verv small i quantity of gallium has been obtained, but M. "'."""m'do.". - '- i. ., nuu jiiwcuicu u unuoi Ull IUD BUUICUli GENERAL MERCHANDISE. WBOI.MALE.

When Bir Isaac Nowton changed his residence and went to live in Leicester Place, his next door neighbor was a widow lady, who was much puzzled by the little she bad observed of the philosopher. One of the Fellows of tho Royal Society of London called upon her one day, when, among other domestic news, she men tioned that some one had como to reside in tho adjoining house, who, she felt cer tain, was a poor crazy gentleman, "because," she continued, "he diverts himself in the oddest ways imaginable. Every morning, when the Bun shines bo brightly that we aro obliged to draw tho window blinds, he takes his seat in front of a tub of soapsuds, and occupies him Helf for hours blowing soap bubbles through a common ciay pipe, nuu intently watches them till they burst. lie is doubtless now at his favorite amusement," Bhe added; "do come and look at him." The gentleman smiled, and then went up stairs, when, after looking through the window into the adjoining yard, be turned ronnd and said: "My dear madam, the person whom you suppose to be a poor lunatic is no other than the great Sir Isaac Newton, studying the refraotion of light upon tbin plnteB, a phenom enon which is Deautifully exhibited upon tho surface of a common soap bubble" This anecdote servos as an excellent moral not to ridiculo what we do not understand, but gently and industriously to gather wisdom from every circumstance around us.

A NKW SvbTKM or 1'IIISON CONSTUCCTION. The Popular Science Monthly describes a now system of prison construction, which has re cently been covered by a United States patent. Wo extract as follows; "The cells aro lined with the hardest cnBt iron, tho doors, windows, frames and sashes being of one piece with perforations, As wrought iron is easily cut and filed, there is none of it used. The plates are connected without bolts or rivots. Any at tempt of a prisoner to escape by cuttiug the walls of a cell is checked at ouco by the hollow wall system. The spnee In the wall, floor and ceiling is filled with kiln-dried sand, or other mobilo material, which runs through an outlet by an opening that might bo made, roudering it impossible for any prisoner to dispose of tho same. Atl inexhaustible supply of this sand is furnished by a hopper constructed near the roof of tho building or on top of the cellB. Brick or wood walls, nud siuglo or double iron lining can be used for this system. In addition to the last mentioned plan, an alarm appara tus is connected with thosaud, bo that auy noise or disturbance arising from cuttiug in any por tion of the cell, is instantly heard in any part of tbo building. 'Here in 110 limit to tho number of places at which Buch alarms can bo given sim ultaneously.

The first contains coal tar, niixtd with small broken stones or shingle, a portion of which should bo pulverized or mixed with sand, so that the Interstioes between the stones of larger size may be properly filled up. The second mix ture Is composed of clsy and pitch; sand or chalk may Le substituted for the clay. The first mixture is mixed in a mixing apparatus at a heat whioh is gradually increased until the produot is adhesive to the touch. The second mixture is formed by grinding the powder thus obtained, aud is added to the first mixture while its particles are adhesivo to the touch. The mixture of the two compounds is confined in a close vessel and boated so as to diffuse the vapors uniformly throughout the ingredients.

If the grade is not too severe, the locomotive is commonly able to take itself un the inclinn. Where this is possible, two novel modifications of this idea have been introduced, and the lo comotive takes the place of the stationary engine. In each system a rope and winding drum is used. In ono the drum is fixed on the engine, in the other the drum is fixed at the top of the incline. By tho first method the engine is provided with gripping struts that, on being let down, grip the rails and anohor the engine securely. The winding drum is fixed to the frame of the engine, and has the wire rope wound up on it. On reaobiog the foot of tho grade, the engiue is detached from the train, tho end of the rope is Becured to the first car, aud the engine mounts the incline to the top, or as for as the rope will permit. The gripping struts then anohor the engine, and, on applying power to tho drum the train is hauled up. If the top of the orade is not reached. criDninc struts are applied to the cars, and the engine I goeanuurepeaisiueoperaiion. xnegraue Doing overcome, tho engine is again oouplcd and the train continues its journey. By the other sys tem, tho winding drum is fixed in a sunken pit at the top of the incline, and is provided with a wire rope for dragging up the train. This winding apparatus is provided with four driving wheels ooupled in pairs, and so placed as to have their upper surface just level with the tracks. A gap is left in the rails over each wheel, so that it may turn freelv.

Mr. David Robert sou, 79 llobertson street, Glasgow, Scotland, has written to the railway commissioners rec ommending, as a means of preventing the personal injury and damage to property whioh result from railway collisions, that passenger carriages should be constructed of strong vul canized india-rubber, which, he says, can be moulded up to any thlckneis and degree of elasticity. The carriages would be round at the ends in place of having buffers attached; and these convex ends would become concave in collisicu, but would not ierk the carriage off the rails like buffer, lie proposes that the train should be united by wire rope passed through eye underneath each carriage to a windless on a brake behind, which would tighten it up to any tensity.

Our intimate knowledge of the various in ventions of this coast, and long practice in patent business, enable ns to abundantly satisfy our patrons; and our success and business are constantly increasing. The shrewdest and most experienced Inventors are found among our most steadfast friends and patrons, who fully appreciate our advan tages in bringing valuable inventions to the notice of the nublio throueh the columns of our widely circulated, first-class journals thereby iaciutating tneir introaucuon, saie and popularity. Foreign Patents. In addition to American Patents, we secure with the assistance of co-operative agents, claims in all foreign countries which grant Patents, including Great Britain, France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru, Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den mark, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Roman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New Grenada, Chili, Argentine Bepublio, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where Patents are obtainable. No models are required in European coun tries, but the drawings and specifications should be prepared with thoroughness, by able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and changes of foreign patent laws agents wno are renaoie ana perma nently established. Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all cases, will alwaytl be as low. and in some instances lower, than those of any other responsible agency. We can and do get foreign patents for inventors in the Pacifio States from two to six months (according to the looation of the country sooneb than any other agents. The principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still being done, through our agency. We are familiar with, and have full records, of all former cases, and can more directly judge of the and patentability of inventions discovered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from the seat of goverment, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacifio Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be lost by extra time consumed in trans mitting specincations irom Eastern agencies DacK to this coast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential. We take great pains to preserve secrecy in all confidential matters, and applicants for pat ents can rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held striotls confidential by us.

Oar long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us with the character of moat of the inventions already patented; hence we are frequently able to save our patrons the oost of a fruitless application by pointing them to the same thing already covered by a patent. We are always free to advise applicants of any knowledge we havo of previous applicants which will interfere with their obtaining a patent. We invite the acquaintance of all parties con nected with inventions and patent right busi ness, believing that the mutual conference of legitimate business and professional men is mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to their rights as assignees of patents, or pur chasers of patented articles, can often receive advise of Importance to them from a short call at our office. Remittances of money,, made by individual in ventors to the Government, sometimes mis carry, and it has repeatedly happened that applicants have not only lost their money bat their inventions also, from this cause and consequent delay. We hold ourselves re sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agenoy Engravings. We have superior artists in our own office, and all facilities for producing fine and satisfac tory illustrations of inventions and machinery, for newspaper, book, circular and other printed illustrations, and are always ready to assist patrons in bringing their valuable o is ooveries into practical una profitable use.
