IRELAND. 

 Newly invented' Fluviameter, or Rain Gauge.-" 

 This very curious instrument, invented by J. Dono- 

 van, esq., of Ireland, being wound up, and having a 

 proper paper put into it, will register thereon the 

 following particulars, at the termination of a certain 

 peri<xlof time:— (1.) It will shew the number of 

 cubical and perpendicular inches of rain that fell du- 

 ring a given period ; the precise hours to the minute, 

 the day and day of the month when they fell ; and 

 the interval of time between each ; also whether it 

 was day or night. (2.) In cases of heavy rains, it 

 will note down the time of their commencement and 

 cessation ; and the descent of rain so light as not to 

 collect into drops, and scarcely to wet, will be mark- 

 ed. (3.) It keeps the aggregate and separate account 

 of rain for every hour, day, week, month, or year. 

 It spontaneously separates the weekly accounts 

 from each otlier Lvery Saturday night at twelve 

 o'clock ; and at the same hour on the termination of 

 every month, of whatever number of days it may 

 consist. (4.) W'hile it is raining, a bell rings by dis- 

 tinct strokes, the intervals between which are shorter 

 in proirortion as the rain is quicker : this is for night 

 service. (5.) It registers to the one twenty-fifth of a 

 cubic inch. (6.) It tells the day of the month, the 

 day of the week, and the hour of the day. (7.) It 

 will register the intensity of the rain during the 

 whole year ; that is, by looking at the papers of the 

 Instrument, it will shew whether it was raining fast 

 or slow at any required hour of the day, and how 

 much so.
