The third section of the road by warof Simplon was opened Sep tember 6th. This route, it is .asserted, will form thei high road to India, since it will terminate in the heel of the boot shaped peninsula of Italy at Brindisi, the most convenient port for travelers bound to the Isthmus of Suez. - Tan BOOK PußusnEns of London whose names are familiar to the reading public, it is asserted, are personal strangers to each other. The old system of bringing .out standaid works known as trade books, and owned on shares, has ;died out com pletely. The same isolation exists among the literary men of London, and the cause of this reserve is said to have arisen from the subdivision of employment by which each writer falls into the habit of attending to one branch. - Ax excellent apparatus for informing tra velers of the names of stations is used en the cars of the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain Railroad. It consists externally of a box, surmounted by a bell, and having a glass plate in front, under which the name of a -station appears in letters of about three inches in length.

THE Atlantic Ocean has been the subject of investigation by Mons. -Savy, whose liervations on the density and saline quail.' ties of that ocean and on its currents, .have been published in the Paris Monileur. The -density, it is stated, varies regularly from pole to pole on the same meridian, the min imum being situated at the equator,' and the maximum between the parallels 40 degrees and 60 degrees north latitude. Between 60 degrees north latitude and the North pole the density again diminishes, and it is sur mised that the minimum exists at the pole. The- observations in the Southern hemi sphere do not show a diminution of density below 60 degrees, but it is supposed that further investigation will prove that the :same rule exists in the Southern as in
