SAFETY FROM DRowNING.-T Shelf
field Telegraph says that the Rev. w.
Cowell Brown, Wesleyan minister, Of
Sheffield, has patented an invention
which appears to be simple and practi-
cal means of lessening the number of
| deaths by drowning. A chemical pre-
paration is inserted in a portion of the
coat, vest or dress. 1t does not add to the
weight or in any way alter the appear
ance of the garment The preparation
as inserted between the lining and the
cloth in the case of coat it is placed
on each side of the breast and up the
back. The moment man touches the
, water the coat initiates and he cannot
keep his head underline waves. The in
vention was practically tested at the
swimming bath of the Sheffield Bath
| Co. recently. The inventor states that
his apparatus, which would simply form
an additional lining inserted in portion
of the garment, would sustain person
in the water as long as he could possibly
endure the exposure. For forty or fifty
hours it would be effective for its pur.
fpose. In the event Of a person losing
consciousness, the lining in the back
would form a kind Of bed, and that in
the breast pair of pillows, against
which his head would rest. u

hated, and sent them two. packages of
poisoned candy by mail Two families

life was lost. Mrs. Stiles was arrested,
