THE GREATEST DISCOVERY ON
REOoRD,

A North German newspaper gives an
account of a discovery and invention by
means of which it is rendered possible
wholly to overcome the force of gravata-
ton SO that man in the last stages of
consumption, will, by employing it, be
able to lit body any asslgnable weight;
he could, for instance, easily draw up to
the surface an iron-clad that had sunk to
the bottom of a river, provided only the
apparatus, which consists of slender
wire, could be made to girdle the ship so
that its ends could be brought into con-
tact with each other. Satisfactory exper-
iments with the invention are said to
