CIergyman's Wonderful Invention 10

[From the Sheffield (Eng.) Telegraph.l

not add to the weight or in any way alter the
appearance of the garment. The prepara-
tion 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 a man falls in the water the coat
initiates and he cannot keep his head under
the waves. The invention was practically
tested at the swimming bath of the Sheffield
Bath Company. First, two small pieces of
linen, with part of the preparation inserted
between the folds, were thrown into the
water. The linen instantly inflated so as to
form miniature cushion and float about the
oatn. An attendant of the company then
put on coat with the preparation inserted
IN 1t. He first went under a shower bath.
Where he was thoroughly drenched, to show
that imitation would not take place under the
ordinary circumstances of shower Under
the shower bath the coat did not alter its pro-
portions in anyway whatever.
The attendant then took "headed" into

enough to take him up to the eyes, he could
not touch bottom at all, and the water scarce
ly reached his chin. BY struggle he dived
partly beneath the surface, but come up
again almost instantly. Divesting himself
of the garment, it floated about the bath un-
til it was taken out. The inventor then at
tached piece of lead weighing three pounds
to his appliance, which presents the appear

person in the water as long as he could pos

How q Little Boy Faced Death.
From the DUBUQUE Times

FROM tne DUBUQUE Ilmes
A ten-year old boy, whose legs were recently
cut off by train of cars in this city, was too
plucky to make any fuss over the incident.
When the little fellow was taken home his
legs hung limp, but he did not complain.
But the tender look he gave to those who
stood by his side told plainly that he was
suffering great agony. After the doctor had
dressed his wounds he called his parents, sis
tiers and brothers to his bedside, kissed one
and all farewell and left tear upon their
cheeks A second time he called his mother
to his side placed his little arms about her
neck and said: ''Eother, / am going to die.
Please forgive me for not minding you"
With this the little fellow fell back and, as
the mother said, "Yes my angel" and took
another look at his face, she found him dead
and beyond all pain and suffering.

A Nice Infant.

Infancy has its privileges A woman was
arrested in Presburg, Hungary, for receiving
stolen goods. She was by birth a Jewess,
but previous to her detection had been bap-
tized into the Roman Catholic Church.
When put upon her trial she pleaded that she
was an infant, and could not, therefore be
held answerable for what she had done-the
date of birth in Hungary running according
to the date of baptism-and after serious
cogitation the tribunal declared the defense a
good one, and that she, woman of forty,
was legally but six months old, with score
of years before her which she might turn to
dishonest account with impunity.

Durability OF Iron.

Professor Bauschinger has lately tested
some iron taken from chain bridge built in
1929, and found that after fifty years of ser.
vice its strength and elasticity had not altered
perceptibly from what they were reported to
be at the time they were put to service. The
fact that age has little effect on the quality of
iron is likewise verified by the result of tests
made by. Professor Thurston. of pieces of
the wire cable of the historic Fairrnount Sus-
pension Bridge at Philadelphia, lately taken
down after forty years of service. The test
ed pieces were found to have tenacity, elias.
ITCHY and ductility fully equal TO the best wire
Of the same size found in the market to-day.

The NickIe.PlatfDg Monopoly.
Engineering Journal ]

Judge Blatchford's recent decision in the
case of the United Nickle Company VS.. Pen
dleton puts an end for the time being to the
efforts of an intolerable monopoly to control
the art of nickle- plating in this country. The
TACT that the Adams patent should ever have
received recognition in the temple of justice
proves that judge may be learned in law,
but woefully pachycephalic in matters scien-
tific. It occurs to us that scientific COM
mission, selected for the purpose from the
ranks Of our most eminent scientists and
technologists, might be established in some
way to act in cases of this kind in the capac-
ity of dmicus curia. Such body. above the
suspicion of interested motives, might prove
very useful.

People who have no opportunity to enjoy
sea bathing will be glad to know that sub
stitute nearly if not quite as strengthening is
found in an ammonia bath. A gill of am
monia in a pail of water makes an invigor-
ating solution, whose delightful effects can
only be compared to plunge in the surf.
To weak persons this is recommended as an
Incompatible luxury and tonic. II cleanses
the skin and stimulates it wonderfully, and
leaves the flesh as firm and cool as marble.
More than this, the ammonia purifes the body
from all odor of perspiration.

JAMES A. BAYARD.-TheH Hon. Jas.
A. Bayard, ex-United States Senator,
died about one o'clock on Sunday
morning. His decease had for many
months been expected to take pla pe at
any moment and, therefore, the event
caused less remark than it otherwise
would have done. The greater part
of his life had been devoted to tho ser
vices Of his country. Always labor
ing in connection with the Democratic
party he was known as one of the
greatest leaders and most profbu
and accurate lawyers and wise legisla-
tors the country ever produced.
His speeches during his whole service
in the Senate of the United States
were regarded as exhaustive upon
whatever subject they treal ed.
In Delaware his influence after the
Democratic party came into power was
supreme. The attachment which the
older members of the party held for
him was stronger than that for any
gentleman We ever knew. For half a
century he was referred to as "Dela-
wares Favorite Son !" and the attach
ment OF our people grew stronger and
stronger until the effects of age com
PEELED his retirement to private life.
Even after this the excitement of the
political campaigns were sure to arouse
in him desire to take part, and pub.
licly to give advice TO his people.
One of his last efforts of this kind, we
believe, was an able and eloquent APP
peal in the City Hall, in favor OF the
nomination of Gen. Hancock for the
Presidency in 1868, after the noble
letter from Hancock while in command
at New Orleans. His speeches previ-
GUS to the late war were almost pro-
phecies of the events which followed
the triumph of the Radical party, and
showed his profound and extensive
knowledge of history, which too fire.
quently repeats itself. In all the most
noble traits of manhood he exc oelled
and was at once the most cherished
and confidential friend of his compan-
ions, who were ever the most noted
and distinguished of every circle in
which he moved.
The last years of his life have been
those of the sage and he grad dually
descended to the grave as thoug ma.
ture intended to let him fade away as
peacefully and gently as the sun sinks
behind the western horizon. A care

curate obituary will be found b our

WHAT THE RURAL EDITORS THINK
OF THE CHICAGO NOMINATION

WHAT THE RURAL EDITORS THINK
OF THE CHICAGO NOMINATION
Sussex Journal, Dem.-The nomi-
nation is not one which will enthuse
the party, and especially that por-
ton Of it led by Conkling and Cam
eron. With such a nomination
there is no doubt that the Cincinnati
Convention can with absolute GER
tainty name the next President.
Newark Ledger, Ind.-His Gar-
field'sl nomination leaves narrow
margin of success for the Demo-
Gratis, though with Bayard for their
standard-bearer victory would be
probable.
Should Tilden be nominated Gar
field will walk over the course.
Georgetown Inquirer, Reptile
country may also congratulate it
self on the result, for with Garfield's
nomination Grantism and third
termism received blow they will
not recover from, while the Conk-
lings, Camerons and Logans and
their methods of machine and arbi-
trary politics have received an en-
phatic condemnation from the high
est tribunal of the Republican party.
Cecil Democrat.-Let the Demo
Gratis put up a ticket with two men
that can carry New York and In
diana, or New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, and the Republi-
cans may just as well put up the shut
ters.
Mlddletown Transcript, Dem. -
While the Republicans have failed
to make as strong a ticket as they
could have made out of the material
in their party, it is tolerably certain
that they are going to work harmo-
niously, and the Democrats might
as well make up their minds right
now that they cannot afford any
foolishness at Cincinnati. 1t won't
do to try any experiments. We
want man who can unite all the
elements of the party, and one who
has the respect and confidence of
the conservative voters of the coun-
try. We want a sound ticket with
no flaws either in its head or tail,
and then for a victory in November
that will make the American eagle
get up and scream itself hoarse.
Seaford Inder, Neutral. - His
Grants fall conveys the same les
son that has been conveyed time
and again by history of other men
that in every avenue of life there is
point beyond which no man can 60
with impunity, and it would be well
for. all ambitious young men to re-
member this. 1t is all right to have
an aim but let that aim be within
the bounds of propriety, justice and
right.
Lewes Light, Reptile scratch
ers do not like General Arthur, but
they will rally to the support of
Garfield, and the machine men do
not like Garfield, but they will work
like beavers for Arthur. And so
between the two the ticket will get
the full vote of the regulars and the
independents.
