SAD FATE OF NEVADA INVENTOR.

SAP FATE OF A NEVADA INvENToR,-A
gentleman who has just arrived from the
borax fields of the desert regions surround.
ing the town of Columbus, 10 the eastern
part Of the State, gives us tho following
account Of the sad fate Of Mr.. Jonathan
Newhouse, man of considerable inven.
tive genius. Mr. Newhouse had coustruc-
ted what he called "solar armor," an
apparatus intended to protect the wear
or from the fierce heat of the sun in cross.
ing desert and burning alkai plains.
The armor consisted Of long, lose.fttipg
jacket made Of common sponge, and a
cap or hood Of the same material both
jacket ard hood being about an inch in
thickness. Before starting across desert
this armor was to be saturated with water.
Under the right arm was suspended an
India. rubber sack filled with water and
having small Rutta. .percha tube leading
to the top of the hood, In order to keep
the armor moist, all that was necessary
to be done by the traveller. as he progress.
ed over the burning sands, was to press
the sack occasionally, when a small guam
tity Of water would be forces up and
thoroughly saturatc the hood and the
jacket below it. Thus by the evaporation
of the moisture in the armor, it was cal
culated might be produced almost any
degree Of cold. Mr.. Newhouse went
down to Death Valley, determined to try
tho experiment of crossing that terrible
place in his armor He started out into
the valley ore morning from the camp
nearest tho borders, telling the men at the
camp, as thev laced his armor on his back
that he would return in two days. The
next day an Indian, whu could ,pvaA but
a few words Of English came to the camp
in great state of excitement. He max.
es the men understand that he wanted
them to follow him. At distance OF
about twenty miles out iuto the desert
the Indian pointed to a human figure
seated against rock, Approaching they
found Newhouse, still ir his armor. He
was dead and frozen stiff. His beard was
covered with frost, and-though the noon
day sun poured down its iicrcest rays
an icicle over a foot in length hung from
his nose. There he had perished misera.
bly,, because his srmor had worked only
too well, aud because it was laced up
behind where he could not reach the
fastenings.

ter in La Nature, eve throw a
way yearly quantity of chick

of which is equal TO the money

ling staten mt, but the author
considers it true, and he pro-
ceeds to explain how the feath-
ers are prepared to render them
valuable: The operation is to
cut the plume portion of the
feathers from the stem by means
of ordinary hand SCISSORS
The former are placed in a bag,
which, when full, is closed and
subject to a thorough kneading
with the hands. Al the end Of
five minutes the feathers, it is
stated, become disaggregated
and fclted together, forming a
down perfectly homogeneous
and of greatlightness. Its even
lighter than natural elder down,
because the latter contains the
ribs of the feathers, which give
extra weight. The material
thus preparedis worth and read
lily sells in Paris for two dollars
a pound. About one and one
sixth troy ounces Of this down
can be obtained from feathers
of an ordinary pullet, and this
on the above valuation. is worth
about twenty cents. 1t IS Jug
gested that, through the writer,
children might collect all the
feathers about a farm, and cut
the ribs out as we have stated.
BY the spring-time a large
quantity of down would be pre-
pared, which could be disposed
Of to upholsterers, or employed
for domestic uses. Good feath-
ers may be treated in a similar
manner, and thus two-thirds Of
the product of the bird utilized,
instead of only about one-fifth,
as is at present the case.

Feeding Too Much Corn.

A correspondent Of an East
ern piper, referring to the fact
that pork Is sometimes found
Of yellow colCr, says it results
from too free use Of corn for
food. He says that about the
time hogs are finished of, farm
ers often make mistake in
feedingtoom nch unmixed grain.
The results, bad digestion and
yellow fa'. Mixed feed should
be given to the Iast-roots,
pumpkins. apples, with corn
As a rule, yOu can get them to
eat more grain and take no more
flesh than by a diet ofrich food
only.
There is. good sense in the a.
hove remarks. Hogs, like 9th
er domestic animals, do best on
a variety Of food. If one had
a plenty Of fruit Or bcets and
carrots, to feed with corn, he
might produce cheaper and per-
haps better meat. In dry dis
tricts, milk and clover do much
i'll rearing Of pigs and the fat
tening Of swine. Cow peas, eat
en- in the field, are excellent for
stock.

CHAPPED HANDs.-The cas-
lest and simplest remedy is
found in every ones kitchen
closet: and is nothing more
than common starch. Reduce
it to an impalpable powder, put
it in a muslin bag, keep it in the
table drawer. Whenever you
take your hands out Of dishwa-
ter or suds, wipe them dry with
a soft towel, and while yet
damp, shake the starch bag all
over them, and rub it in. The
effect is most agreeable.

PURITY OF COFFEE.-A sim
pie, practical test is given in the
American Artisan to test the
purity of coffee, by which many
authorizations of that article can
easily be detected, even if the
taste is not sure index. If a
tablespoonful Of genuine coffee
be thrown into a tumbler full of
cold water it will float upon the
surface. Most substances used
in adulterating coffee viii sink
at last.
