Tracy Herald: A young daughter of
Lyman Drury who is here this winter
attending school experienced fainting
spell Monday morning upon her arriv-
al at school and in a short time all
kinds of rumors were afloat to the effect
that she had frozen. One report had it
that she had been sent in from nine
miles into the country, horseback, and
that the intense cold had effected her
brain. She remained unconscious near
~ all day but was finally revived and
is again attending school with good
health. She was not frozen nor was it
the cold that caused the trouble, as she
had but block or two to walk and is
warmly dressed.

The Scientific American has, at last
opened up regarding the Brambel pat
ent. In the last issue of that paper,
aside from giving illustrations, it has
review of the patent and a large num-
Der of newspaper clippings regarding
the same. 1t then states on its own
authority: 1t had not been our inten-
llOI W uCSCIIDC vi hotlSC LII way
the above mentioned invention, but we
are in receipt of so many inquiries from
correspondents and so many requests
for copies of the patent that we have
decided it was best to state the facts of
the case and publish reproductions of
the patent drawings and copy the sail
ont Of bp +Io
claim. We have not written to Mr..
Brambel for any light on the subject Of
his valuable patent. We learn, howev-
er, that he is a telegraph operator, and
we imagine that possibly his vocation
may have something to do with the
wide publicity which the story has at
tanned. We do not know what object
there is in foisting upon the public
story which is in such high degree
improbable. We do not need to go be-
yond the patent itself and its very mar
row claim to discover the falsity of the
rumor. The principle upon which the
engine is operated is by no means new,
while the claim confines the design to
minute details of construction If, as
it is claimed, an English syndicate has
purchased the patent at a price of some
$7,O0O,O 900, is it not likely that before in
vesting so vast a sum the patent itself
would have been submitted to rigid ex-
animation as to scope and validity?
We believe therefore that the story
can be regarded in no other light than
a hoax, and it is the object ofthe Scien-
tific American to try and arrive at the
truth of such matters.
