The idea of making the human body
more buoyant, SO that man not only
need not fear drowning, but shall be
able to move about in the water with
safety and facility, is by no means new.
Perhaps one of the oldest distinct
schemes for this purpose is that given
by IL. Knappen, IN his very interesting
woodcut illustration to Renati's "Vier
Bucher Won der Ry tterschaft," Erfurth
tion of large double skin air-boots, the
object of which was to render the wear.
er's body so buoyant that he could walk
in, or almost upon, the water. There
does not seem to be any evidence that
this scheme was then attempted to be
putinto practice. On June Z, 1865, DR..
Pope mentioned to the Royal Society
tthat he had seen at Paris a fellow walk
ing upon the water by means of pair of
leather breeches made. bladdef-Wise,
with pipes TO them to blow them up, and
with legs Joined thereto, liquored after q
peculiar way; whereupon Mr.. Robert
Hooke said 1t might be thought upon to
contrive a way of making girdle to be
tied about man to save him from sink
ing; and he was ordered to think upon it
himself" II Hooke made any experi-
ments on the subject, they were not pub
lished. Atew years later, j. q. Wagan-
sell, OF Nuremberg, described and tig-
ured, in his .'Die Hydraspide," Altdorl,
NOricorurn, 4to, 1890, dress tor walking
in the water. 1t consisted of leath-
er double trunk-hose, made In four divis-
ions, capable of being separately inflated,
so as to give very great buoyaney to the
body Of the wearer, while by the means
of shoes, with leaden soles the upright
position Of the body was secured, ana
by means Of '.finsn attached to the ank,
les, progress in the water was facilitated d
1t is said that the King of Denmark HIM

eighty years Of age, has lived for sixty
years OF that time In an atmosphere OF

out Of his treasures which he could eX-

temptation, be adopted the very wise
course Of transmitting his china idols
into negotiable metal. In other words,
he sold them at auction to the highest
bidder. The sale lasted three days-and
realized $32,500. Three vases with birds

A method of giving to ordinary sand
stone, tound in such abundance in vari
Gus localities, the exterior appearance

impregnating the well-dried stone with
soluble silica and alumina. The sand
stone thus prepared becomes much
lighter In color, some kinds being in.
tensely white and translucent, while II
is capable OF the highest polish, equal to

succeeded in initiating marbles of every
color by adding mineral colors to the II.
quid used for impregnation. The 70.

produce sandstone especially adapted
to this process, and from which colored
stones are now made that serve admira.

A curious and very amusing incident
recently occurred ut the residence OF Nj.
~. Townley, ESQ. of Chamois, Mo. 1t Is
generally known that Neil takes special
pride in the fine pigs of which he is the
owner, and for whose aceomm odation be
has erected comfortable quarters. q hun
dfed yards or SO in the rear OF his d we'll
ing-house. A few nights ago the family
was aroused by terrible commotion
among The pigs, and of course Nell
rushed impetuously to the rescue OF his
pets, hardly expecting, however, the
den0uement that was SO near at hand. 1t
appears that young lady member Of
the family is a somnambulist, and upon
the night in question dreamed that a
pitiless storm was beating down upon
the pigs, and sharing the solicltude OF
her uncle Nell, she considered it her
duty to go promptly to their relief.
Though sound asleep, she arose from the
bed, went out to the pig quarters, and
taking pig in her arms was rapidly
making her way with it to the house.
Nell could hardly believe the evidence
Of his own eyes, when he was confronted
with the spectacle OF a lady clad in peer
less white, with pig tightly clasped in
her arms, and the pig squealing as loudly
and yocifegously as It's lungs would per-
mitl The situation, however, quickly
flashed across his mind, and he breath
lessly exclaimed, "Why, b., what are
you doing with that pig?" To which the
young lady replied: "Grandma told me
to bring it in out of the rain;' and on
she went towards the house with the
pig. With considerable difficulty the
young lady was awakened, and alter u
hearty laugh all around at her expense
over the lldicrousness Of the occur
renee, all went back to bed and slept
without further disturbance till the
morning light appeared.
