sat in the parlor. Suddenly she raised tue
window, and, although scarce half clad, sprung
out INTO the yard, alighting in her stocking feet
on the snow. She raised the lid Of the cistern
and threw herself In head foremost. An hour
or so later she was found floating face down
ward by her mother, and with the aid OF several
men the body was taken out. The facts in the
case being clear, proving that death was caused
by deceased's own act, no inquest was deemed
necessary by the coroner.-N. Z. Herald, 3lSL.

SEWER GAsks.-Mr. L. Harding, Of Bristol,
England, has invented a very simple AMI ~ the
same tine profitable c0ntrivance Tor getting
TId OF the DONIOus gsses OF sewers, which Is
thus described IN the Bristol Times: Connected
With the msin sewer is pipe two inches ia d,a-
meter, and At the top OF the pipe is a ball 50
liked that 10 allows al aperture of quarter OF
an inch sll round, through which the sewer gas
may escape from the pipe. Running up out
eide Of tie large pipe Il an ordinary gas pipe,
ard just underneath the bail Al the top
OF tho sewer pipe set OF burners is 50 ar
ranged that when lighted they make 4 com
piets circle OF fire. The bsil prevents tie
sewer gas from rising through the center, aud
Il cannot pass through the II sne, which entirely
surrounds the aperture. The cOUs queuce l.
that the sewer gas miDgses with the ordinary
gas and is consumed, adding, II il SAID, greatly
90 the brilliancy of the flame. The invention
may be easily applied TO the public lamps, and
We are informed IA At 3 One-inch pipe NAV b
used, and that the increase in the ILLUMINATE "a
power that would be thus gained Is enormous.
Another advantage is that the ball and the
upper part Of the pipe quickly get intensely hot
and The beat draws the foul sir from the sewers
leaving them perfectly free. The invention has
been patented.
