A Wonderful Invention.

A Wesleyan minister, the Rev. w.
Cowell Brown, has patented an inven-
tion which appears to be simple and
practical means of lessening the num-
Der Of deaths by drowning. A chemi-
cal preparation Is inserted in portion
OF the coat, waistcoat or dress. 1t does
not add to the weight or in any way al
ter the appearance Of the garment. The
preparation is inserted between the lin
ing and the cloth; in the case of coat
II Is placed OH each side Of the breast
and up the back, The moment 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 in
serted between the folds, were thrown
into the water. The linen instantly in
nated, 80 rs to form miniature cushion,
and floated about the bath. An atten-
dant Of the company then put on u coat
with the preparation inserted in 1t. He
first went under shower bath, where
he was thoroughly drenched, to show
that imitation would not take place un-
der the orcinary circumstances Of II
shower. Under the shower bath the
coat did not altar Its proportions In any
way whatever. The attendant then took
a "header" into the water. He re-ap-
peared at the surface almost Immediate
ly, and the coat promptly inflated. En-
tering n 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 n strug-
gle he divcd partly beneath the surface,
but he came up again instantly. Divest-
ing himself Of the garment II foated
about the bath until II was taken out
The inventor then attached piece Of
lead weighing three pounds TO this ap-
pllance, which presents the appearance
Of n short, light sleeve or lining, and
threw II into the water. The sleeve, on
touching the water, instantly expanded
like bolster, and iloated about the bath
we'll out Of the water, sustaining the
lead until both were fished out. The
experiments were as interesting MS they
were successful. The inventor states
that his apparatus, which would simply
form an additional lining inserted In \
portion Of the garment, would sustain n
pesson IN the water as long as he could
possibly endure the exposure. For forty
iy-hve or fifty hours It would be efIec-
tive for It's purpose. In the event Of n
person looslng consciousness the lining
In the back would form kind OF bed,
and that In the breast pair Of pillows,
against which his head would rest

Builders.

BosToN, Aug. 3l.--In the anthropolo-
gy section Of the American Association
to-day Judge Henderson read paper on
"TeItile Fabrics Of the Ancient lnhabl-
tants OF the Mississippi Valley" In ex-
planning the textile art among the
mound-builders and other aborigines, he
showed the modern Indians and these
ancient people are bound together by
similar instruments and processes OF
spinning and weaving.
W. J. Knowlton exhibited nm engrav-
cd tablet taken from mound In Ohio.
The lines had been recently traced by
some sharp instrument TO render them
more distinct, The resemblance to the
Cincinnati tablets Ia said to be very
striking.
The next paper was upon ancient Ng-
rlcultural implements OF stone by VIM
McAdams. lie said that In the rich al
iuylal lands about the mouth OF the Mis-
souri, and Illinois rivers are found many
stone implements used by the ancient
inhabitants In agriculture.

Three Dog stories.
Royue'd Authropalogic.

Prof. Schutzenbcrgen, Of StraSburg,
sends dog story. A gentleman own
ing a kitchen garden remarked that n
basket containing fresh carrots got quick
ly cmptied. A watch was set for the
thief, who proved TO be dog. Dogs
don't eat raw carrots, 40 further inquiry
was necessary. The dog went to the
stable and held the carrot to the horses
mouth. The horse whlnnled, took the
carrot and ate IT, The operation was re-
peated until the basket had been emp
tied. The greatest affection exists be-
tween the dog and horse.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:
DEAR SIR:-Again we have to bother you
by asking you to publish the following:
A special school meeting of school dis
trict No. 8, was held at the house of X. J.
Husevold, to consider the question of issu-
ing bonds for building school house.
Bonds were voted to the amount of 5000,
which with the special tax amounting to
$3.50, levied last fall, makes total of $3.50
with which to build the house The school
house must be built; but where is the site?
The district had one selected last fall, but
come to find out, there is no legal title to
to the land, and tho officers and legal voters
have called another special meeting to Sc
lect another site, and build the house upon
land where title can be obtained. A false
statement was made by one Sever Erick
son, to the effect that the district had been
enlarged by adding to the south and west,
and taking portion from the north, bring
ing the centre further south west, and that
County Commissioner COmstock had told
him to that effect. To-day we have seen
the Hon. w. w. Griswold, the we'll known
County Auditor, and he says that it is not
a true statement, and that there is no
change. The board of Trustees have,
therefore, resolved to lay plan and speci-
cations before lumber dealers and builders.

The wind was blowing fearful gale from

we pushed on for Graccville, arriving at

a tony young fellow walking off-sliding
off-on his left ear. By some mishap he
had lost his equilibrium, and his skates
were elevated at an angle Of about 45 de-
grees. The young lad stood it well, but it
was rather tough on the ear. We stopped
for the night with mine host of the Dunlap
House, where you never fail in obtaining a
good square meal. The Goth was very
fine day, roads good. We reached this
place in time for supper, after which we
called upon o few Of the most prominent
business men Of the town, the banker and
proprietor Of the town G. K. Orton, Dassel

the dry goods houses. We found this last
branch of the business rather dull, but Das

In all local elections, party politics and
party feeling should be tabooed and dis
countenanced. We have always. and will
always protest against the introduction of
anything bordering on the partizan into
our local affairs, it creates trouble and dis
cord, destroys the harmony and good feel
ing which should exist in oil communities,
and is very liable to put into position, men
who have no interest iu the affairs of the
village, or no object beyond personal ag.
grandisement. In towns such as ours, the
people should select their officers with as
as much care as they would exhibit in the
