chorned OF His Own Foot.

a Middleton, Miss, dispatch of Aug. 4
to The Philadelphia Times says:
A singular instance Of fortitude and en-.
durance was that exhibited by Hermann
Loebnit2, a worthy German living a short
distance from this place. One morning he
commenced his work by cutting down a
large tree, which in falling was caught and
supported by the branches of another close
by. Loebnitz climbed this in order to cut
away the limbs which upheld the first,
having carried his ax up with him tied by
IA cord to his waist He succeeded in break
ing away one of the supporting branches,
and the tree fell short distance, but in its
fall hurled the unhappy man downward.
His foot being caught, however, between
the trunk and limbs of the two trees, he
did not reach the earth, but hung sus.
pended, head downward, in the air.
He remained thus for some time, crying
for help and cndeavoring to free himself,
but the pain from his crushed foot, impris-
oned us it was, and the discomfort Of his
position growing insupportablc, and de
spairing of any help arriving he grew DIES
perate, and succeeded in swinging himself
upright for Il few minutes, with despera.
ton seized his AK and with II stroke or two
cut his foot off just above the ankle Then
began n painful descent under what were
perhaps the most remarkable circum
stances such thing was ever accom-
plished
When down he reached his hat, and fill
ing it with earth, moss and leaves bound
it to the bleeding stump, then crawed
home, slowly and painfully dragging his
leg after him. 1t was not until he was
within u few rods of his home that he was
perceived by his wife and children, who
then assisted him to the house lie was
placed in bed and DR.. Renshaw, of this
place, sent for, who tied up the severed
arteries, and who says that l.oebnitz's pow
crs of endurance were beyond anything in
his experience, for, in spite of his dreadful
sufferlngs, the man remained quite sensi
bic and calm through it all, though the
mere shock of such a thing was enough to
kill him

Production Of Pure Hot Air from Coal.

Production Of Pure Hot Air from Coal.
A most valuable invention has jest been
successfully tested in London, England; 1t
consists Of il mode Of producing perfectly
pure air from the combustion Of coal Not
n trace Of smoke or funle was visible, not
faint OF any kind was perccptible to The
taste or smell The stream Of air was al
lowed to fall full on the faces Of the vid-
tors, but save in the matter of temperature
il Infected neither the eyes, t:.a throat nor
the nostrils "a proof Of its purity some
choice ten which had been saturated with
hot water was placed in the hot mir current,
and when redried was pronounced by an
expert To be wholly free from any impaired
mInt or taste In order to show the char
i.cter Of the products Of combustion before
being submitted 70 the fiery ordeal the fan
was stopped and dense cloud OF thick
smoke rose MP from the coal in the feed
chamber, charged with suffocGting fumes.
On restarting the fan it WIS quietly
drawn in again, but not sign OF it mp
pcarod ut the exit from the fam and the mir
when inhaled was rs pure Gs ever The
stated theory of the inventor with regard
TO this phenomenal combustion is that the
water contained in the coal is decomposed
into oxygen and hydrogen, and that the
hydrogen in burning adds to the heat of
the resultant air, while the oxygen, re-en-
forced as it is By that obtained from the
large volume Of fresh air admitted at vari-
Gus inlcts, decomposes and purifies all these
products. But whatever the theory may
be, the fact remains that it is not only pos
sible, but easy and economical to obtain
the utmost amount of heat from coal with
out any deterioration of the atmosphere

1.-THE art of swimming is not difficult of
attainment, rather ridiculously easy" said
Professor Donaldson. "All that is wanted
is confidence. When the Beginner secures
this all difficulty ceases. A familiarity
with the buoyant power Of water should
be gained A good way to acquire this is
for the beginner to advance breast high
into the water and allow an egg to drop
to the bottom, The object Is to dive down
with eyes open and bring up the egg.
"IIe will soon find by depressing his feet
nc can rise TO the top. The thing that will
strike these beginners is the difficulty of
forcing themselves through the water to
reach the egg. This il where the benefit
of the experiment comes in, for the learner
becomes aware of the great sustaining or
supporting power OF water, and thus con
fdcnco is gained. New York Sun.

4 Now safety Trigger.

SpOrtsmen will rejoice to hear that a
Springfield man has Invented a safety
trigger which is ut once entirely automatic
and unconsciously operated one that is
absolutely safe save at the very instant
when the mnrksman pulls with intelligent
aim The principle of the invention Is
much simpler than that OF the present
form, and the construction is therefore
much less expensive. The attachment is
comprised in three pieces decided i'm
provement upon the present complicated
arrangement.
All TINT is visible on the outside is n cap
or button, a.hich nestles just in the rear
Of the iron hGop that protects the triggers
on the under side Of the stock. The gun
cannot go Off until this button is pressed
close to the stock, and that ig Just what is
done unconsciously every time the hand
is closed firmly in the act Of taking aim
This pressure once released, no amount Of
catching in the bushes or iarring the gun
can stir the triggcrs.-New Orleans Plea
