GAS CLOTH.

DIR. Hirzel, of Leipsic, has patented
a fabric claimed to be .impermeable to
water and gas, which he calls gastuch, or
gas-cloth. 1t is made by placing a
large smooth piece of so-called gutta-
percha paper between two pieces of some
not too coarse and dense material-such
as undressed shirting-and then passing
the arrangement between heated rollers.
The outer pieces of shirting combine in
timately with the inclosed gutta-percha
10 form material which is impenetrable
by gas and water. 1t may be made still
denser and more resistant by being
coated ON both sides with copal lac.
The substance is conveniently flexible,
and it is said it will remain proof against
variable influences of weather and ex-
ternal temperature. 1t can be applied
to all those purposes for which water
proof material is used, and it is well
adapted to form gas-light membranes fol
regulators of pressure of compressed
gas, bags or sacks for dry gas-meters, as
alse dry gas reservoirs.

DEATHS BY DROWNING.

A London paper calls attention to the
fact that a larger number of fatalities
occur in the United Kingdom from
irowning than from any other cause.
More people lose their lives while bath
ing than while working in coal mines.
Blasting with nitro-glycerine is regarded
IS very dangerous occupation, but it
appears that fewer persons lose their
lives while handling this terrible ex-
plosive than while handling beats de-
signed for pleasure. With great regu-
arity Oxford and Cambridge lose three
)r four students every summer vacation
ny drowning. A week rarely passes at
any of the seasides resorts in which
some visitor is not drowned while bath
ing. Most of the picturesque lakes
which are supplied with pleasure boats
ire little more than attractive death
traps. From every pier in the large
rivers and from almost every bridge
some one falls into the water and is lost.
There are few statistics kept in this
country except those that pertain to GER
tain branches of trade and commerce.
We can tell at the end of a year how
many thousand hogs were slaughtered,
but not how persons were drowned.
There is scarcely an issue of a newspaper
that does not record one or more
leaths by drowning each day during the
summer months. Few of the persons
who sink into watery graves are engaged
in any industry. They are not fishing
for profit but for pleasure. They are
not navigating boats for the purpose OF
carrying passengers and goods, but fol
the purpose of having a good time
Nearly every man or boy in the country
thinks he is capable of discharging the
luties of any Office or of managing a
boat. A large portion of the small boatl
constructed are unsafe, especially wher
they are in the hands of persons who
are not experts. Nearly all the small
sail-boats should be condemned as dan
gerous. Even the little craft propelled
by oars or paddles are liable to capsiz'
on small provocation.
| Considering how many persons plupg
into the water or manage boats upon it
| it is astonishing how little attention i
given to instruction in the art of swim
ming and that of minor navigation. w
are very far behind the Indians an,
other savages in this respect. Untaugh
in books, they all know how to swim
like ducks and to manage the frailest O
boats with almost absolute safety. w
should abandon our aquatic habits o
learn wisdom from the despised abe
rigines, who know how to keep from bt
ing drowned. Mrs. Partington advise
her son Ike never to 60 near the waite
till he had learned to swim. Boys-an
men for that matter-should not ventur
. in water till they have some instructio
, in regard to keeping their bodies afoa
instruction is as necessary in the use
! a boat as in that of horse or stean
, engine. The absolute recklessness thu
e is now displayed in and upon the watt

The Moorish Mosque at Cordova.


The pre-eminent attraction at Cordova,

Drinking Ice Water.
baltimore SUM-

There is no more doubt that drinking
ice water arrests digestion than there is
that a refrigerator would arrest per-
spiration. 1t drives from the stomach its
natural heat, suspends the flow of gastric
Juice, and shocks and weakens the del
icate organs with which it comes in con-
tact. An abler writer on human dis
eases says: +" Habitual ice water drink
ers are usually very flabby about the
region of the stomach. They complain
that their food lies heavy on that patient
organ. They taste their dinner for
hours after it is bolted. They cultivate
the use of stimulants to aid digestion.
If they are intelligent they read upon
food and what the Psychologist has to
say about it-how long it takes cabbage
and pork and beef and potatoes and
other meats and esculents to go through
the process of assimilation. They roar
at new bread, hot cakes, fried meat,
imagining these to have been the cause
of their maladies. But the ice water
goes down all the same, and finally

dence has called to cline where, as

hole in her back, near the spinal column,

street. 1t is not yet known whether death
was caused by the bullet striking the spinal
cord or piercing the heart.

The Poughteepsie Press says that
Mr.. James Robson, residing in that
city, was fishing on the opposite side of
the river recently. While on his way
across the river he saw a white object
moving on the water. He pulled to the
place and saw what proved to be bass
weighing eight pounds, with a catfish
which 1t had tried to swallow. fastened
in its mouth. He struck the fish with
his oar and pulled it in the boat. The
bass attempted to swallow the catfish
the horns Of the latter became fastened
in its gills, and it was unable to swal
low or lose its hold on it.
