PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY JULY 29, 1869. —ln the letters addressed to the Paris Academy of Sciences, Father Secchi, of Rowe, announced a very curious dis covery regarding the spectrum analysis of stellar light. Some time ago he mentioned a certain class of stars emit ting red rays, and he now finds that their spectra consist of three luminous bands, one of which is red, another green, and the third blue, separated from each other by broad black hands, the intensity of which decreases from the red of the spectrum to the blue. The typical star of this class is Schjellerup's No. 152, to which Father Secchi com pares Arcturus. He thus ascertained that there was not an exact coincidence between the bands of these stars, those of the last named being identical with those of the sun. The question now arose, what might be the substance that caused these new bands, and this our author, from an indication in M. Ang strom's table, suspected to be a com pound of carbon and hydrogen. This, hoWever, could only be verified by direct experiment, and Father Secchi accord ingly arranged an apparatus by which benzine, which is a hydro-carburet, was subjected to an electric spark from Rubmkorff's apparatus.. Strange to say, at this very first trial, he got the identi cal spectrum he was seeking and the natural deduction is, that benzine is one of the compounds contained in star 152, above 'mentioned. Nevertheless, our author remarks that the experiment re quires certain precautions, the vapor of the hydro•carburet should be of small density, and perhaps also mixed with air, a point concerning which he still !Ws some doubts. It now occurred to him that probably the sun might also contain some compound gas, and for this purpose he compared the solar spectrum of the spots with that Modified by our atmosphere. He found that the bands of iron, sodium and calcium were much stronger in the spots, and also those of chromiuni 'and cobalt; but -whatrparti cularly attracted his attention was • a large number of what he calls " Vene tian blinds;" thereby meaning groups 'of very - faint bands, not correponding to any knoWn metal. This subject, how ever,: the author informs the academy', requires further researches.—New York World. No Ulcer, Cancer, or Fever Sore but can be radically cured by the use of Wolcott's PAIN PAINT.

The People's Friend, THE GREAT MEDICINE OF THE WORLD. Perry Davis & Soo's "Pain Killer," may most justly be styled the great medicine of the world, for there is no region of the globe into which it has not found its way, and none where it has not long been largely used and highly prized. Moreover, there ie no clime to which it has not proved to be well adapted for the cure of a considerable variety of diseases ; it is a speedy and safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts, bruia'es, wounds and various other injuries, as well as for dysentery, diarrhcea and bowel complaints generally, it is admi rably suited for every race of men on the ace of the globe. It is a very significant fact, that notwithstanding the long period of years that the " Pain Killer " has been before the world, it has never lost one whit of its pop ularity or shown the least sign of becoming unpopular; but on the contrary, the call for it has steadily in. cretithisi'from its first discovery by that excellent and honored man, Perry Davis, and at no previous time has the demand for it been se great, or the .quantity made been so large, as it is this day. Another significant fact is, that no where has the Pain Killer ever been in higher repute, or been more generally used by families, and individuals, than it has been here at home where it was first discovered and in. troduced, and where its proprietors, Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, have ever been held in high esteem. That the Pain Killer will continue to be, what we have styled it, the great medicine of the world, there cannot be the shadow of a doubt.

A record of the watches produced at the Wa;thaal Manufactory may be not improperly prefaced With a brief mention of the considerations which induce es to press them upon the attention of intelligent Watch buyers. Fifteen years' successful experience Justifies m is claiming for the Waltham Watches peculiarities of ex cellence which place them above all forei _ n rivalry, The system which governs their construction is their most obviJus source of merit. The sub,titution of ma, chinery for hand labor has been followed not only b y greater simplicity, but by a precision in detail, and sc• curacy and uniformity in their time-keeping qualities, which by the sold methods of manufacture aro unat• tainable. The application of machinery to watch-making hey, in fact, wrought a revoluti .0 in the main features of the business. In coninaction with enlargid power of production, it has enabled us to serure the smoothami and certainty of movement which proceed from the perfect adaptation of every piece to its place. Instead of a feeble, sluggish, variable action, the balance, even under the pressure of the lightest main-spring, vibrates with a wide and free motion. The several grades of watches have more than a general resemblance each to its pattern ; they are perfect in their uniformity, and may be bought and sold with entire confidence as to the qualities we assign to them. These general claims to superiority are no longer contested. An English watchmaker, in a recent lecture before the Eforological Institute of London, describing the result of two months' close observation at the va rious manufactories in the United States, remarks in reference to Waltham : "On leaving the factory, I felt that the manufacture of watches on the old plan was gone." Other foreign makers, some of them eminent, have publicly borne the same testimony. They admit that the results aimed at in Europe by slow and costly processes are here realized with greater certainty, with an almost absolute uniformity, and at a cost which more than compensates for the difference between manual labor in the . Old World and the New. But we assert for the Waltham Watches more than a genera superiority. Their advantag.- a, in respect of quality and price, over English and Swiss watches, are not more marked than are their advantages over the products of other American ruanufactoriee.' Melte are positive in their character, and are the natural conse quences of the precedence we acquired in the trade, and the proportions to which our manufactoryinte attained. No intinetrial law is better established than that which cheapens the cost of an article in proportion to the mag nitude of its production. The extent of our establish ment—the combination of skilled labor on an extensive scale, with maehinery perfect and ample—enable us to offer watches at lower rates than those of any other manufacturer. The aggregate of prodt is the eud iept in view—not the profit on any single watch. Atli, act ing on this principle, with reduced cost of proluccioo and an everwidening demand, our watches are offered at prices considerably below the watches of other Amer jean 'bakers, comparing quality with quality. Oar an nual manufacture is double that of all other makers in this country combined, and much larger than the en tire msuinfictlire of England. The conditions which makes this cheapness possible are also Lave:sable to the excellence of oar work. Our artisans long ago ceased to n be novices . Time and effort under a superintendence which combines the subtleties of science with the strength of practical skill, berepro duced a body of artisans whose efficiency is for the time pre-eminent. ,We have the best workers in every de partment that are available—workers whose expertness and experience would be alone sufficient to secure for Waltham its high position. Among °filar tributary causes, may be stated the readiness with which each succeeding invention and improvement has been tested, and if approved..adapted. We ere always reedy to ex, 'amine whatever experience, or art, or skid may suggest, but we adopt nothing until experiments have demon strated its excellence. In pursuance of this rule, we have brought to our aid all the mechanical improve ments and valuable inventions of the last fifteen years, whether home or foreign in their origin. We have thus acquired the exclusive posseseion of the best and most valuable improvements now known in connection with wateh-making, and secured for the Waltham factory a force and completeness not shared by any 'similar 89- tabliehments M the world. • These constant efforts to perfect in all ways, and by all means, both. the machinery of the factory and the construction of our watches, have placed within our means the production of a greater variety in grade and finish than other Americah makers have attempted. In the manufacture of very fine watches we have no com petitor in the United States and only very few in Eu rope. . ' The various styles of these watches have undergone the severest trials in the service of Railway Engineers, Conductors and Expressman, the most exacting class of watch wearers, and the presence of over 400,000 Wal tham Watches in the pockets.ot.the people is the best proof of the public approval, and must be accepted as conclusiye of their superiority by discriminating Watch buyers, 'especially -se since the important matter of price is also very 'greatly in favor, being at least twenty five per cent, cheaper, quality for quality, than those made elsewhere, in the United States. An illustrated description of the Watches made by the American Watch Company of Waltham, will be sent to any address on application. In addition to a description of the watches, the pamphlet contains much other useful information to watch-buyers.
