To Prevent Drowning.

A Wesleyan minister, the Rev. w. Cowell Brown, has patented, says the Sheffield (Eng.) Telegraph, an invention which appears to be a simple and practi- cal means of lessening the number of deaths by drowning. A chemical pre- paration is inserted in portion of the coat, waistcoat or dress. It does not add to the weight or in any way alter the ap pearance of the garment. The prepara- ton is inserted between the lining and the cloth; in the case of a coat, it is placed on each side of the breast and up the back The moment man falls in the water tfe coat inflates, and he can not keep his head under the waves. The invention was practically tested at the swimming bath of the Sheffield Bath Co. First, two small pieces of linen, with part of the preparation inserted be- tween the folds, were thrown into the water. The linen instantly inflated so as to form miniature cushion and foated about the bath. An attendant of the company then put on coat with the preparation inserted in it. He first went under a shower-bath, where he was thor oughly drenched, to show that imitation would not take place under the ordinary circumstances of a shower. Under the shower-bath the coat did not alter it's proportions in any way whatever. The attendant then took header" into the water. He reappeared at the surface al- most immediately, and the coat prompt) inflated. Entering part Of the b' deep enough to take him up to the z

 out. The inventor then attached aL of lead weighing three pounds to his al pliance, which presents the appearance of a short, light sleeve, or lining, and threw 1t into the water. The sleeve on touching the water instantly expanded like small bolster, and foated about the bath well out of the water, sustaining the lead weight till both were fished outt The experiments were as interesting as they were successful. The inventor states that his apparatus, which would simply form an additional lining inserted in a portion of the garment, would sus- tain person in the water as long as he could possibly endure the exposure. For 45 or 50 hours It would be effective for its purpose. In the event of person losing consciousness, the lining in the back wonld form kind of bed, and that in the breast pair of pillows, against which his head would rest.

Dangers to Life.
London Daily News.

It is a disadvantage of civilization that it shows us the dangers to which life is exposed. Every year presents us with new peril, and the latest is always the least expected. French men of science are now preaching crusade against the industrious race of bees. Not only are they destructive to property, but they are actually dangerous to human life. The prelect of the Paris police has been appealed to. M. Delpech has drawn up a formidable brief, and is precise in his statements and clamorous in his de- mands It seems that bee keeping is lucrative in the neighborhood of Paris,

ing interests at that place to Godbe l.

Messrs. Godbe & Co. have some Eastern
parties interested with them and will at
once go to work putting things in ship
shape and start the works. There has
been large amount Of ore extracted and
piled on the dumps. Silver Park is stu
ated in the Northeastern portion of Lin
