Tho problem of life saving dress
which shall be what its name implies is
one that has often been attempted, but
in one point or other is as yet unsolved.
A Michigan diver claims, however, to
have discovered a solution.
The dress is a combination of a divers
suit and the famous Paul Boyton rig 1t
differs from the latter in that it is not in
ilated, and resembles the former in that Il
helmet with Contrivances for seeing and
breathing forms part of the outfit. The
principal garment resembles a child's
nightdress, being wide enough at the
neck to admit the body, and possessing
arms and legs. The neckband is fastened
with n simple contrivance, and it is
claimed that by means of a series of
overlapping folds in the junction between
the hcadpieco and the lower garment n
person incased can breathe freely.
Around the waist is peculiarly con-
structed life prescrver, capable of sup
porting ten times the weight of large
man, and at the feet are leadcn soles, the
object of which is to maintain the wearer
in an upright position in the water 1t il
claimed that a person can rig himself
or herself-the garment is fitted for wo-
men as well rs men-inside of two
minutes, and that when once incascd
sinking is an absolute impossibility. The
inventor claims that fully so per cent. of
people who are supposed to have been
drowned are in reality killed by expos
ure. To obviate this difficulty the rub
Der suit is constructed with q view to re.
tanning the heat of the human body and
at the same time to protect it from the
water Chicago Tribune.

Hon. W illiam l., Putnam seems to be in
doubt about the principal issue of the
lust campaign, if the following said to
have been part of his speech at the
Vendome tariil reform dinner, is the cor
rect expression of his feelings. There
is no brain which can take the tariff and
say whether, so far as it applies to our
present condition of things, looking
simply at to-day, it is for the good or
evil of this great country"

The Limited Fast Mail.

The Union Pacific Railway, the Overland
Route, has just put on a limited fast mai
train to carry the United States mail be-
tween Council Bluffs and San Francisco
and Portland. The daily fast mail train
will carry a limited number of passengers,
and in addition to the United States mail
cars, and baggage car, will be com
posed of Pullman palace sleeper and Pull
man dining car for Portland, and Pullman
sleeping car for San Francisco, thus accom-
modating a limited number of passengers.
The sleepers and the diner will ruu
through from Chicago, via the Chicago &
Northwestern railway. Only first-class
tickets will be honored on this train.
This train, with its connections, makes the
extraordinary time of 107 hours, New York
to San Francisco, and 104 hours TO Portland.
AS accommodations are limited, early APP
plication for the same should be mady to the
Union Pacific agents in New York, st.
Louis Cincinnati, Chicago, or TO K. l..

Stanley to the Herald.

The following letter from Stanley to the
Herdid was written from Msuwah on the
30th of November 1t gives, better than
any one else could state it, Stanley's gem
eral impressions of the march across the
continent. Such graphic and simple
story can not fail to be read with a sympa-
thetic and intense interest by the whole civ
ilized world. 1t is as follows:
To the Editor Of the Ne,O York Herdid;-
The Herald correspondent who found us
during our days halt at Msuwah, five days
from the coast, has made it point that

would return to their allegiance to him.
Stanley's patience was becoming exhausted
He called a council and asked the advice of
his officers. All declared that the sensible
way was to proceed at once to Zanzibar
and, if Emn did not wish to go, he could
look out for himself. On the 10th of April
the expedition started, and with it went
Emin and four hundred of his followers.
He had concluded to take no more chances.
The march had hardly begun when Stanley
was taken sick, and death for a time was
feared. But in month"; under the skillful
treatment of DIR. Parke, his physician, he
recovered, and the march was resumed.
Up the Semliki river, past Mount Rueven-
zori, snow-capped mountain seventeen
thousand feet high on to Albert Edward

fore seen by the eyes of white men, across a
stretch of country directly east to Victoria

till the southern point was reached, moved
Stanley and Emin, with their followers
From the southern shore of the lake the
expedition took a sOutheasterly direction,
with Bagamoyo just across the straits
from Zanzibar, as the objective point. There
the brave band arrived last week Wednes-
day. A steamer has been dispatched from
Egypt to bear them to the north, aud in a
few days Stanley will be again on European
soil. Since leaving Zanzibar, nearly three
years ago, he has travelled about five thou
sand miles
For the facts of this sketch and the excel
lent map with which it is accompanied, as
well as the cuts of Stanley and Emin Pacha,
we are indebted to the Neu York Herald,
whose accuracy in respect of African ex-
plorations, and enterprise in keeping the
public informed on the progress OF Stanley's
expedition, are worthy of the paper that
first set the great explorer at the work in
which he has become pre-eminent. The
steps of the march across the continent
can readily be traced by reference to this
map. Any modern atlas will show the
course of the Congo, up which to the Aru-
wimi Stanley passed. From this point the
map shows the routes he traversed to the
eastern coast, and the objects of great geo.
graphical interest in Central Africa. Only
by locating the thrilling events referred to
the rivers, lakes and mountains discovered
can one fully realize the magnitude of the
undertaking and the Importance of its re-
suits.
The discoveries made by Stanley on this
expedition are of the greatest value. The
course of the Aruwimi river is defined; the
limits of the forest region are fixed the
Albert Nyanza is accurately located, the
Semliki river, Albert Edward Nyanza and
Mount Ruevenzori were discovered 1t il
now known that Albert Edward Nyanza
~ the primary source of the White Nile, it
being connected with Albert Nyanza by
the Semliki river. Snow-capped Mount
Ruevenzori is grand peak over seventeen
thousand feet high. The Victoria Nyanza
is found to have an immense southwestern
extension. What an accomplishment for
one man! AS the Herald says, Stanley Is
head may have turned white through the
hardships he has undergone, but his laurels
are eternally green.
