BUYING STEEL RAILS.

already begun to exert a stimulating in
fuence on the iron and steel industry.
The St.Louis agents Of the Carnegie COM
pany and the Illinois Steel company are
keeping the wires hot closing deals.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rsilway
company head the list with en- order for
0,0Oo tons steel rails placed with the Car
neeie Steel company. This means 100 miles
of I6w track somew mere betwsen here and
Galveston and STEADY empioym MT for
hundreds of men for months to come.
The Frisco also ayailed itself of the tempt
ing opportunity afforded by the prevailing
low price Of rails and plscsd an order

tons. The Missouri Pacific fell into line
with an order for 5000 tons and news
comes from Texas that q. H.Greeue Of

Among recent inventions are several in
struments designed to rewind the delicate
machinery of life after it has run down
or, to put 1t another way, to bring the
dead back to life. Such device has been
patented in this country bv a French
physician. II is a device for breathing re-
newed life into bodies which are appar-
emily lifeless. To use the words of the in
ventor, 1t is an aero-therapeutical appsra-
tus. A vessel into which water IL poured
IL surrounded by an sir channel, ana has
fixed In ii an upright tube surmounted
py q globe. In the center of the tube is
q vacuum gauge. When the proper valve
IL turned, water in the upright tube
moves upward and downwsrds produc-
ing alternate fnhalations and OK halations
IN another tube leading to the free air.
BY suitable mouth or nasal pieces the lat
ter tube Is to be attached to the body of
the subject. The instrument being at
cached and put into operation, the lungs
will be filled with air and emptied at
alternate intervals, corresponding In reg
7lsrity with the natural expansion and
contraction OF the chest in normal
breathing. Thus tho blood may be sup
piled with fits necessary oxygen, and un-
less decomposition has set in life may bo
kindled anew.

that of Buffalo man, is a bellows and
tube, the latter to be connected with the
mouth and nostrils. The tube, before
reaching the subject, passes through a
small stove, which heats the air to the
proper temperature. An odd apparatus,
which may be included in this category,
is sort Of corset, patented by Csltfor-
