BROUGHT TO GLENWooD SPRINGS.
fsOuies or the Twelve Miners Were
Horribly Mangied.

Glenwood Springs, Col, Sept, 6-The
bodies OF the IL miners killed bv the
coal dust explosion in the Sunshine mine
OF the Colorado Fuel and Iron Companv
were brought To this city Saturday and
prepared for burial. Coroner Clark en-.
paneled the jury, which viewed the re-.
MAINS. The force of the explosion had
completely crushed each bone in the II
bodies, so that the remains We're merely
mass of flesh and bones. This is the old.

entries below the one in which the acct
ednt occurred have been worked out
These two covered distance of GOO feet

which proved the deathtrap of the IL
men is usually the working place of 40
toilers. Friday the main force were en-.
plcyed in the entry $50 feet above the
level where the explosion occurred. The
explosion broke away the stopage from

force of the explosion can be had when
it is seen that timbers, many % inches

Machines for Brea thing.

But few sfghtseers at the national
capital find the Patent Office the most
interesting point to visit, yet there is
probably no public building in Wash
ington about which have centered so
many high hopes, SO much of ambi-
ton, keen research and hard study.
The Patent Office, indeed, is Il sort Of
Mecca for the inventive genius of the
United States.
At the time this Is written 526,45S
patents are here recorded, and an ex-
animation of the models of them, pre-
served in the cases, would occupy the
student for at least year.
Among the oldest of recent patented
devices are two "breathing machines"
one by man in Buffalo, the other by 4
Brooklyn physician.
A machine for breathing may at first
thought appear to be superfiuous, and
even ridiculous, yet both of these con-
trivances are of benign intent. They
are designed to preserve life. or to re-
suscitate suspended animation, as IN
cases Of drowning, choking, or sud-
den failure of the hearts action.
Physicians, as is well known, often
attempt to produce artificial respira-
ton in such cases by extending the I'M
fortunate person on the ground or on
the floor. and alternately raising or
lowering the arms. At best this meth
cd is unpromising, and it is to render
nvtif nj off
ual that the two inventions ahove-men-
toned have been sought out.
The Brooklyn doctors device con-
sists of an alright chamber, or box,
in which the sufferer from suspended
respiration can be placed, all save his
to the external air. BY means of an
air-pump. connected with the chamber
and worked rapidly by rotary shaft
and crank, the air is by turns exhaust
ed and admitted, thus causing, by
pneumatic pressure, the lungs to be nj.
ternately dilated with air and COM
pressed at the ordinary intervals of
natural breathing.
The Buffalo inventor seeks to accom-
plish the same end by means Of a bel
lows and tube accurately applied over
the nostrils and mouth Of the person.
Alternate inspiration and exhaustion
of air in the lungs are thus brought
about. The air-tube before entering
the nostrils passes through small
heating apparatus. This raises the air
to the temperature which 1t would
reach naturally in the air-passages Of
healthy person.

Lake OF Ink with Curative Power

Lake OF Ink with Curative Power.
In the middle Of the COcopah hills. in
Arizona, is what is known as the Lake
Of Ink. Though supplied by beautiful
springs of clear water, the liquid Of the
lake is black and of an inklike charac-
ter. The temperature varies from 40
degrees to 216 degrees, according to
the locality. and the water feels smooth
and oily. According to the Indians,
not only of the vicinity, but far away,
the waters of the lake have strong
medicinal qualities. though most white
people would hesitate to adopt the
mode of treatment prescribed. The in

fifteen to twenty minutes, after which

rock near by. The cures wrought are

A FARMERS OPINION.
This Information is Worth More
Than the Present Value of "a
Kim Will of Grain.

In Sullivan County about half mile from
the village of Unity, n. H., there lives a
good, honest, hardworking tiller Of the soil,
named c. f. French. Like every sensible
farmer, Mr.. French subscribes for papers,
and one evening, as he was looking over his
Claremont weekly, his eye Glanced to catch
a reading notice which proved bonanza for
him and frightened up his tagging spirits
over the low price of grain and farm produce
and the high price of commodities which are
necessary for a farmers existence. A farmer
reasons in his own peculiar way, and he calls
a spade a spade; so Mr.. French says quietly
to himself: II want just such a remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. If it carries out faith
fully half what it claims it will cure my lame
back. However much good may result from
one box, little or no harm can ensue." The
next time Mr.. French visited Claremont he
made some inquiries at a drug store about
the preparation, and was informed that
scores of people in Claremont and the sur
rounding country had thoroughly tested
Doan's Kidney Pills and published their ex-
perience in CAremont papers. This was
enough for Mr. French lie purchased a
supply and what follows is his experience.
lie says "My kidneys have troubled me
ever since left the army, but for the past
five years have been going from bad to
worse | doctored and used various kinds
of medicines with little or no result. For
several years l had a constant, sharp, dart
ing pain across my back; in fact, did not
know what it was to be without it. 1t felt
as though a needle was run through me. 1
also had kidney weakness which was very
distressing and inconvcnent at all times.
While in this condition | saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised and SO highly recommended
that l was induced to try them. Having
used so many medicines without relief
must confess | had little faith in them, but
was agreeably surprised after taking one box.
l am on my fourth or fifth now. Doan's
Kidney Pills knocked the pain in my back
higher than a kite. My other weakness is
also relieved They have done more for me
than all the other medicines | have ever
taken, and feel as though can't speak too
well of Doan's Kidney Pills. You may pub
fish my statement, and hope it may benefit
others who are suffering in a similar way"
