Deep Diving by a New plan.

An Italian inventor has constructed
a new apparatus. which he calls a
"Metlydoic sphere and by means of
which he processes to be able to de-
scend to any depth in the sea. He
proved this in a recent experiment 1T
Spezz:a, but he was unable to get the
thing to ascend. He stored about two
thousand feet Of compressed air in the
apparatus, and then with two friends
twas lowered to depth Of some
thirty feet. Nine hours passed, and.
as the sphere did not reascend to the
surface. a diver was sent down and
found the sphere resting on the bot
tom. but got no reply to his KNOCKS.
Then the sphere was hauled up with.
ropes, and when the door was opened
the inventor was found with a liyid
face and partially asphyxiated. His.
two friends were found unconscious.
but We're quickly resuscitated. The In.
ventor says that the failure in this in
stance was due to the fact that the
air pressure was insufficient to expel
the water ballast.

Farmers are already giving some at
tention to the preparation Of winter
quarters for their live stock. The last
few winters past have been rather upon
the mild order, and this fact may lead
unthinking persons to make costly mis-
takes as to the sort Of preparation they
should make for the proper care Of the
stock on the farm. 1t is pretty safe
rule to go by that little moisture in the
earth means a mild winter with little
snow, just such winter Rs last winter
was in fact. But this season the rains
have come and there is a fair prospect
that winter will catch as with the soils
over very large stretch Of territory
we'll filled with water. This means grad
usl evaporation through the coming win
ter and more cold and more snow than
have fallen to our lot OF late years.
Good warm quarters with q full protec-
tion from the biting winds OF winter
will save many dollars worth of feed.

tiles Of the case. e.-Nebr0SkG Former.
