IN DREAMLAND.
Down among the grey green sallowa
Runs a cool, traṇslucent stream, Rippling over pebbly shallows
Like the Lethe of Love's dream, Broadening into pools of amber Under Tocks where wild vines clamber, And the lilac wind-flowers gleam.
There the turf is smooth and mossy,
Still unshorn and ever new;
Each young
shoot and herblot glossy Drinke at eve the tender dow; For no storms assail the garden, Frosts nor winds the rathe leaves harden,
And the heavens are hazy blue.
On the boughs the quinces mellow
Meet the dim green shades above, Spheres of purest, palest yellow
With the scent that speaks of love Proserpine's, pomegranates under Ripen, redden, fall sounder,
Gem with gold the mytrle grove.
High o'erhead sleep cradled zephyrs Sway the bay boughs to and fro, Over meads whore milk-white heifers
Knee-deep in the grasses go; And whore'er the streamlet wanders Faint-hued fragrant oleanders ⠀-- Drop their petals soft as snow,
In a dream night led me thither,
And I saw assembled here
All the loves that bloom and wither In our gross terrestial sphere; Mid the myrtles, on the meadows, All the joys that leave but shawowds.
All the days that disappear.
Changed to flowers and very quiet, Fragrant in perpetual Spring After life's uneasy riot.
Folded under death's broad wing, Gathered, garnered in a slumber Which no waking dreams encumber,
Where remembrance hath no sting.

OCEAN TR1 ASURE.
New Device for Recovering Sub-
marine Wealth,
Some interesting diving experiments have been carried out in England by Messrs Siebe and German, submarine engineers to the Admiralty and War Office, in conjunction with Professor Leonard Hill, which promise to make deep-sea diving a far safer profession, and may lead to the recovery of much sunken treasure.
The present system is responsible for numerous caacs of severe illness, known as * divers' palay,' a form of paralysis which often result in death. In most cases this. is due to the fact that the diver descends and ascends to quickly, and the sovere pains in the joints, deafness, vertigo, and palay which frequently attack the man are caused by the sudden change from an- abnormal atmospheric pressure to the normal pressure.
The bell is a steel chamber divided into two compartiments, one of which is at
opon the bottom like an ordinary boll, while the other half is closed,
When the diver, in ordinary diver's dress, wishes to ascend, he enters the open half of the hell, opens à manhole in the partition, passes into the closed and sealed chamber, which is provided with electric light and telephone, closes the manhole
aftor him, and is drawn up.
AIRTIGHT CHAMBER.
The airtight sealed chamber is supplied with air at the same pressure as that under which the diver was working. When the ball is brought on board ship the air is allowed to cecape very slowly, and the man is gradually decompressed.'
By this hell, in conjunction with the usual diving-dress,' said Messrs Siebe and
Gorman's manager to h Express' re presentative recently. 'wo hope to reach greater depths than have ever been at rompted, and there is a great deal of sunken treasure yet to be saved from depths of 220ft.

It is a mistake to suppose that 100ft, is limit for divers. The record depth at- rained is 201ft, and it is also possible for a man to remain at work for six hours at a stretch.
The Navy send their divers down to a depth of 120ft., but we do not hesitate to lower our men 140ft., and with this bell we may reach 220ft.
