Can't Drown i'm This Suit,

An Austrian named Or. Friedrich
Mintz has succeeded in inventing a
swimming dress which proves to be the
surest safeguard against drowning on
record. DR.. Mintz demonstrates his in
genious discovery-to which he has
given the name or Neptune-at the
Vienna Diana baths. The costume is
made entirely out of the fur oftthe rein
deer, the hairs of which, being hollow,
enable the animal to float without max

There is a good opening In India for
the japanning methods which have
been brought to such perfection In
America, according to the St Louis
Globe Democrat, and an Indian jour
nal suggests that 1t would pay good
American japanners to open business
In the large cities of India. To begin
with, the bicycles that have to be re-
paired are viflainously enameled by the
native workman. An enormous number
Of boxes Of various sorts are already
made In the country, including cash.

In every case they have an inferior
coating. Japan coatings are of espe-
cial value in a, moist climate like that
OF Bombay, which, is so severe on iron
and steel. These metals are being more
used every day in the making Of car
riage wheels, and for these japan is
the most suitable coating, being adhe-
sive and easy to clean.

Leading Occupation.
'sHavana Is the one place where the
chief occupation of the inhabitants
seems to consist of tIppling" said VIII
liam Ryan, the well-known Virginia
journalist, at the Metropolitan.
1T is the drinkers paradise. and
also tho smokers, for In these two hab-
It's everybody indulges with freedom
/ never saw elsewhere. People get up
rather early In the Cuban capital to en-
Joy the cool morning air, and scarcely
take anything except a coffee and roll
before breakfasting at IL a. m. Before
that period the regulation amount OF
tipple for Cuban gentleman is six gin
cocktails. Thus fortified be can make
out till the first meal of the day, at
which 1t IS the proper and customary
act to drink bottle of claret and like
wise bottle of champagne. The lat
ter costs just as much, too, lct 1t not
escape your mind, as 1t does in the
United States.
'.Now, having breakfasted, our friend
Is getting ready for the sgious business
of the day-the consumption Of other
spirituous drinks. His fancy turns to
brandy and soda at this stage, and ere
the dinner hour arrives he must have
swallowed no less than six b. and SIS;
at least he is shy of the requisite quota
unless that many have followed the gin
cocktails. There Is no limit, though,
ut the half-dozen station, but 1t is re-
regarded as a minimum. Dinner comes
on, and with 1t another bottle Of claret
and ditto champagne, just as at break
fast. In the evening there is no regu-
lar program, but mixed drinks are in
dulged in ad libitum. l will say, Incl
dentally, that payments for all drinks
are on cash basis.

Just what the average individual Cuban

In the world to see anyone intoxicated.

excessive. The climate Is such that

sights that mans eyes ever beheld.
have seen the deer and the wildcat and
the coyotes and the tufted lynx, anS
even numbering cinnamon bear OF
two, come here to drink. l have lain
quite still in the moonlight and watch
ed them for hours, and there is no more
fascinating spectacle to be seen in the
open.
"It Is a wonderful country, and no
man ever set foot into wilder region.
There are three cottonwood trees,
where the spring pours out of the rock,
and along the banks of the creek are
many willows. Near the spring is a
level spot of ten acres. The first night
I camped there / was tired. But after
that stayed on for two weeks because
of the wonderfully weird charm of the
place. The walls of the canyon are
marvels of conglomerate malpais or
lava. There's gold, iron. copper, cob

famous mass that is as bare Of vegeta-
tion as the day 1t poured from the heart

derful aspects. It's region worth
travelling miles to see, and you can
reach 1t in days lope from Congress.

outlined against the sky. In moment

of many feet. and he was surrounded
by n pack of deer. I counted eighteen
In all. The big buck ventured cautious
ly down the lava slope, and when half
way down he halted, tossed his antlers
about as he shifted the air, and then
gave another musical snort. At this

Always the buck acted as scout, and no
one advanced till he gave the signal.

In few steps. then sIgnaled for the
others to advance and drink. And
while theY drank he fell back Of them
several yards and stood there as guard
until they had finished. Such nm alert
scout no human being ever made. And
there was n world of pride and dignity
In him as he stood there and watched
and waited. Surely. he realized that
the fate of the entire pack depended
upon him, and his honors and RESPONSE
bilities sat heavily upon him. 1t took
the pack perhaps ten or fifteen minutes
to satisfy its thirst. Then 1t moved
back from the water and stood near the
buck. Now 1t was the bucks turn to
drink. He strobe forth, bent his head
and drew in great draughts of the cool
water. But he drank with his dignity
still upon him. The pack waited for
him. and when he was once more at Its
head there was a wild scramble up the

Other Animals Seen.
'I was fascinated by the spectacle
and resolved to witness 1t again. SO
l stayed another night. The perform
ance was repeated exactly. Again on
the third night they came to drink in
the same way, and the next night and
the next, and so on, till it dawned upon
me that I must quit loafing and get
back to work. or course, the deer
scented me at once and knew all along
just where I lay, but l kept very still
and they did not seem to mind me.
"The smaller animals came at all
times of the night, and the smaller they
were the more r3.sc they made. The
foxes were the slyest Of all and the
most timid. They go on dead run all
the time, with their heads always wrig-
Cling from side to side. The first time
they shifted my presence at camp they
made wild scamper back to cover be-
hind the rocks, but presently they ven
tured out again, and, after three or four
essays, they finally came down and
drank.
Il saw only one bear. He was a pret-
ty big fellow, but have seen lots big
ger. He came down the bluff like big
pig, his nose roofing in the ground at
every step. No, wasn't afraid of him.
There isa't an animal in America, l be-

makes the attack. He came within a
few yards of me, stood still and stared

Of what more favorable ground might

canyon are what are known as con.
