yielded % sacks to the acre, and his

Besides saving that much grain, he
also cut from around the outer edges
of these same fields, so tons of grain

From a nine-acre field known a.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Sept. 1I.-Sinoe the
days Of Jesse James and the Younger
brothers, there has been no more spectscu-
lar raid upon a bank than that made this
morning on the Bank Of Akely, MIMI,
when the robbers carried on 10000 and
blew the bank building to pieces,
q. W. Warren. who has rooms In an adj
joining building, was awakened and rushed
to the scene. He was at onc confronted
with a revolver in the hands Of one Of the
robbers and commanded to return to his
rooms. He did so.
DIR. P. r. Irish was fastening to the bed
side Of a patient when he heard the explo-
sions. He telephoned the police and the
bank officials When the town marshal
appeared he was promptly covered by the
robbers and held captive until the men in
the bank had completed their work.
After the desperadoes had made their
escape in the darkness IN examination OF
the bank showed $500 In silver scattered
on the floor and that $4,000 was missing. In
the vault was $50, 90 in cash n $4,000

MAN MS OWN MOTOR BOAT.
French Inventor Mas Mechanical Device
for PrOpeIlinW Body Through the water.

W. ~ NNS
Special Cable Despatch 10 TEE Sun.
PARIS. Sept. 1.-THE French inventor
who devised the motor boots which were
described some time ago in TEE Sum has
now conceived an adaptation Of the petrol
motor for supplying the human body with
mechanical power for propulsion In the
water. Every man may thus become his
own motor boat.
In order to use the device q person need
not be a swimmer. for in addition 70 itS
propulsive powers the apparatus Ia devised
to keep the body aioat. A watsrtight box
containing a little petrol engine and . fuel
supply is strapped to the users back.
Other parts Of the apparatus comprise q
saddlelike arrangement, on which the user
sits: air bags to give the necessary buoyancy
and a propeller. which Ia operated by the
engine. Two rods give control Of the speed,
while the steering is accomplished by
altering the position Of the hands.
The inventor thinks that the chief use
OF the apparatus will be in life saving.
for in an emergency the operator has only
to start the motor by turning a little crank,
sling the box on his back, get into the saddle
and launch himself in the water.
