Alameda Telegram: We have not en-
joyed very marked prosperity during
the past four years. The depression
that set in as far back as 1862, engen-
dered by the prospect of tariff agita-
ton and the inevitable consequence of
industrial paralysis, had been contin
ued to the present day. The Democratic
scheme of tariff reform produced de-
hclt, then came the raid upon the treas
ury gold, the forerunners of financial
panics, and the repeated bond sales to
restore the equilibrium. And, finally
the issue of free silver coinage came to
put the capstone on the structure of
our national and personal calamity.
But a new dispensation is now revealed
to US. Other and wiser policies are now
possible. The Republican party has
II In It's power to provide the treasury
with abundant revenue and yet avoid
the danger involved in a radical revis-
ION of the tariff. The incoming ad-
mlnlstration, with the experience of the
past four years to guide it, may be eX-
pected to effect such changes in our
financial system as will avoid the blum

In moderate weather M. Pesce says
the boat bound for the pole would stay
on the surface of the sea as long as
1t was free. 1t would only be on ap-
preaching ice that it would descend to
a depth at which it would be able to
pass under the icebergs. It is to be
borne in mind that the motion of the
waves being only felt at slight depth
and the temperature of the sea below
the surface being generally above zero,
the explorers would have neither
storms nor the intense cold of the air
to battle with.

A NATURAL LIFE BELT.

Air Injected Under the Skin Will Float
Man.
DR.. Schneider-PreiSWerk in Basic,
has discovered e novel means OF say
ing life in marine accidents, which if
generally used will probably lessen
greatly the number of lives lost by
such accidents, says the Philadelphia
Record.
His invention has been pronounced
very important by the French Acad-
envy of Sciences, which in one of their
last meetings listened very attentively
to lecture by Dr.. LanyerauX upon the
new invention. The inventor does
away with all artificial belts and other
floating appliances; he proposes to in
fate the cellular texture beneath the
human skin on the breast, which, if
filled with air, forms a natural pneu-
matte belt, by the aid of which one
may not only float himself but even
support another body. The idea is said
70 be perfectly practicable. 1t has been
proved that a man weighing $50 pounds,
whose specific weight is between LOS
and LILO, whose head may weigh seven
pounds, needs only about 200 cubic
inches OF air within his body i'll order
to float with the head out of the water.
This amount of air is easily inserted
into this hollow space beneath the
skin with DR.. Schneider's aseptic syr
inges, which Will in one injection in
fate from twenty to thirty-five cubic
inches OF air. The Introduction OF the
point, which is only two milliEeters
thick, will hardly be felt. Such a pump
is not even necessary. It is much sim
pier to use little apparatus. also pat
elted by DIR. Schneider, which consists
of a hollow needle a thin rubber hose
eighteen inches long, into which this
needle is inserted. A little aseptic
cotton placed into the open end Of the
rubber hose is ali that is necessary.
The skin is simply raised, the hollow
needle introduced into il, and then the
other end OF the rubber hose is taken
into the mouth and the mans own
breath blown into it. Two deep res
pirations, which are blown into each
side OF the breast, viii be sufficient Il

patton there has been gathering spruce
gum. He builds a cabin in the fall

that time he found that another mar

camp on the edge Of a big spruce
growth, and ii following this he wen
