TO prevent solid bodies from sinking, MADE private
experiment on dog yesterday. The animals feet
and legs we're tied so as TO prevent any motion to-
ward swimming, his body was covered with the ma
tera from the tip OF his nose to the end of his TAIL
and thus was thrown headlong into pool OF water.
The animal at first made some violent eXertions
which caused him to get some severe duckings, but
after awhile he became quiet, and his body only half
submerged hoaIed around on the surface of the
water In the pool as lightly as feather and when
taken out and his legs unbound he shook himself
TIVE or three times, when 1t discovered that not
drop OF water remained in his hair on his skin.
The gentleman assures us that he will be ready to
give free public exhibition In the river opposite
this city next Tuesday, first with his body then
with any one who may wish to try the experiment.
Letters addressed to the river editor of the APPEAL
