In preYent Drowning.

A Wesleyan minister, the Rev. W.
Cowcll Brown has patented, says the
Sheffield tEng.) Telegraph, IN invention
which appears to be simple and practi-
cal means of lossening the number of
deaths by drowning. i chemical pre-
paraton is inserted in a portion of the
coat, waistcoat or dress. II does not add
to the weight or in any way alter the ap-
pearance OF the garment. The prepare
ton is 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 falls in
the water TIE coat initiates, 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
rs 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 initiation
would not take place under the ordinary
circumstances of a shower. Under the
showcr-bath the coat did not alter its
proportions in any way whatever. The
attendant then took header" into the
water. He reappeared at the surface al
most Immediately, and the coat promptly
inflated. Entering part OF the bath
deep enough to take him up to the eyes,
he could not touch bottom at all, and the
water scarcely reached his chin. BY
struggle he dived partly beneath the sur
lace, but came up again instantly.
Dlvesting himself of the garment, it
fioated about the bath till it was taken
out. The inventor then attached piece
OF lead weighing three pounds to his APP
pliance, which presents the appearance
OF short, light sleeve, or lining, and
threw IT into the water. The sleeve on
touching the water instantly expanded
like small bolster. and iloated about
the bath well out of the water, sustaining
the lead weight till both were fished out,
The experiments were as interesting as
they were successful The inventor
states that his apparatus, which would
SIMPLY form an additional lining inserted
In portion OF the garment, would sus-
tam person in the water as long as he
could possibly endure the exposure
For 40 or 80 hours 1t would be effective
Tor its purpose. In the event Of a person
losing consciousness, the lining in the
back would form 4 Kind Of bed, and that
IN tnc breast pair Of pillows, against
which his head would rest.

Spoilatlon II Egypt.

The old Egyptian stone cutters who
were peckinc away on large masses Of
syenite all their lives. under the eyes of
that specimens of their handiwork
would eventually adorn the public places
of cities then unbuilt, in countries then
unknown. They might have heard
something about the barbarians on the
northern shore of the Mediterranean,
but imperial Rome then was not. Cen
turies afterwards her engineers went to
Egypt for ready made orelisks, and took
them without so much as saying by your
leave. Out from the misty regions of
the North came, centuries later, another
set OF obelisk thieves. The French, in
imitation of the Romans, displayed in
Paris specimens Of old Egyptian skill
and taste, and prided themselves on the
achievement. The English, too, by dint
of begging, contrivcd TO get away with a
big Egyptian stone; and finally one has
found its way across the ''circumtluent
ocean," to be set up on end for the edi-
fcation of such as are curious to inspect
the work of the ancient Egyptian stone
masons. Now that the work of carrying
away Egyptian monuments has exper-
fenced a revival, we may expect to see
that country stripped of everything
movable which now renders it an OBJ
ject of interest to travellers. No great
power will be willing to suffer the re-
proach of not having an obelisk, and af
ter all are supplied with this badge of
distinction, it will be next in order for
some one to excite the envy OF the rest
by approprating sphynx or other col
ossal figure. Hereafter the test of great
ness will be ability to bear hand in
Egyptian spoilation, and it will 60 hard
but our own country will maintain a
proud prominence in this friendly rival
ry of nations. Doubtless some future
Vanderbilt will pay for transporting the
Great Pyramid entire to our shores, and
thus exalt us above all the other nations
of the earth.

A Corner in Opium.
New York Herald.

A syndicate of New York capitalists
has, it is said, been formed for the pur-
pose Of buying up or controlling the
growing crop of opium and making a
corner in the drug. The coming crop is
likely to be very small, not exceeding
l,S00 eases. A prominent dealer said
Yesterday:
"All interested in the trade are pre-
dieting high prices. The worlds con-
sumption of opium amounts to 5000
cases year. The duty here is II n
pound. The crop this year is so small
and the present market is SO low and
weak, that the prospective deficiency
has given an opertunity for the forma-
ton of a syndicate of five New York
capitalists, who represent S75000,000
worth of capital, and who have perfected
plans to control the opium market of the
world. They have bought largely of the
present supply on the market, and by
agents in the producing districts of the
East have made contracts for the grow
ing crop. The combination causes much
uneasiness among the large foreign man
ufacturcrs of morphine, who use the
drug in large quantities. In a letter
from Smyrna we are informed that the
crops have been injured by frosts, and a
considerable advance in opium has been
the result, with the prospect of further
raise. The price here is now $3.50 per
pound, duty paid"
The head of the combination is said to
be Mr.. Dutihl, President of the Orient
Marine and Inland Mutual Insurance
Co., who is Il native of Smyrna and was
formerly in the opium trade. lie ad-
mitted the truth of the reported syndi-
cate, and said that it was composed of
the wealthiest men in New York. Mr..
Dutihl said that he was acting as the
agent Of the other gentlemen interested
because of his familiarity with the opium
business. The others are mostly mer-
chants and bankers, whose names he
would rather not give.

Management of Insane In Rhode Island

The Rhode Island system of caring for
insane persons is so simple and econom-
lcal and so well adapted TO the purpose
that it deserves the study of the author
ites in Z ose States where the cost of
insane paupers has become a serious
item in the public expenditures. In the
first place there is no magnificent palace
in Rhode Island for these persons to live
in. The State has a farm of 434 acres
near Providence, on which are grouped
several charitable, penal and reforma-
tor cstablishments-the State prison,
the Providence county Jail, the State
almshouse, the State workhouse and the
asylum for the incurabe insane. the last
three having altogether 600 inmates and
being under charge of one superintend-
ent. The insane asylum is not a stately
building four or five stories high, built
of stone and embellished with architec-
tural adornments, and nanked and front
ed with lawn and snrubbery; it consists
of five long onc-story structures, two of
stone and three Of woon A long room,
with beds on each side. takes up the
greater part of the interior of each Of
these buildings, which are, in fact, little
more than dormitories for the patients.
The dining-rooms are in the wings.
There are no stgirs to climb, and the
advantage of having all the inmates on
the same floor is found to be one of no
small value. There is cottage, with
small chambers ranged round the walls
for the confinement Of noisy and refrac-
tory patients. In fair weather the
greater number of patients spend their
time out doors, some at work, some ut
play, and others in harmless idlencss
The cost of this simple establishment,
when contrastcd with the expensive
asylums in Massachusetts, illustrates its
merits. In the Massachusetts asylums
the cost of keeping each patient ranges
from 20 TO S3.7S per week; in the Rhode |
Island institution il is only Sl4S per
weck-less than one-half The cooking |
foI the Rhode Island asylum is done at
the workhouse, near by, and this is |
found to be great economy. The aver
age annual cost OF attendance and super
vision for each patient in Massachusetts,
is Sj3 to SIS; in Rhode Island 1t is only
SIC. In Massachusetts, the cost of house |
room for each patient is, at the North
ampton asylum, SSi6; at the Worcester
asylum, 81 500 at the Danvers asylum,
SO 020. In Rhode Island it is only Sl35. |
And yet, although the cost of maintain
ing the insane in Rhode Island is SO
much smaller than it is in the neighbor-
ing state, it does not appear that in the
former State they aye any the less hui
namely provided for, or denied any
comfort necessary to their walfar.
