found to be one of the greatest monsters of cruelty that had
ever disgraced power'; fearful of nothing himself, beseemed
to sport with the terrors of all mankind.
NEW DISCOVERIES AND INVENTIONS.
Another Antiparos ; or, a natural Grotto discovered.
In the district of Falicon, near Nice, say the late Italian
Journals* a grotto has been descried ; which, we are
Ltss’ured, in respect to its beauty, is equal either to that of
the Sybil at Rome, or that of Antiparos. The entrance to
this newly-discovered curiosity, is through a small emi-
nence, and in its form bearing resemblance to an egg.—•
Its first appearance, at the extremity of this entrance, is
similar to a saloon, tolerably regular, and sufficiently spa-
cious to contain 400 persons. The alabaster pillars upon
which it. is supported are uniform, and beautiful in the ex-
treme.—Citizen Barbesis, of Nice, has taken the pains to
illuminate this grotto, and is now employed in making a
drawing; of the same.-
THE PELAGOSTOP.
IVL Collin, a Swede, and by profession a mathemati-
cal instrument maker, has lately constructed an instrument
calculated to discover any of the Objects at the bottom of
the sea, at least to a very considerable depth :—for instance,
a piece of metal may be seen at the depth of 53 feet from
the surface of the water, and darker objects from a distance
of 2 i test.—-And from a peculiar mode in the direction of
this instrument, there is no difference in its discovery of
objects under -water, either in dear or cloudy weather.—
Neither is the wind any hindrance to its operation, and it
is at the same time so portable and convenient, that it irav
be managed by one person only.—It has latel y been proved
at Stockholm, and- its utility accurately defined,
