The iiiLfenioiiM inventor, appreciat u.tf tie possibility of premature burial, and knowing full well the horror with which the Hiibject is it -K'udcd dy atVdcted mortals, has come to the scratch at ome with the u.ost elaborate devices by which the revi"1" person may comiuunicato f,i'u his colli ii to the outside world. . I'ranz Wster of Newark. X. J..Mtvli a 'bis invention "new - ' A-' :-. .iii-iiitinv.Mui j. lul Cisos or coffins forthe diiil," and prop, .ips to at tach a chimney to the cofiu. extend fioiuover the face of the body up above the surface of the ground. Within this chimney he would place a la.idi r aula coi.l leading out a bell, so that tin? buried person, sLould In.- revive, may climb to the world without or communicate with Lis mourning friends. The machinery of the Invent ion ti. r a simple puiposo by Adelbert Kwiatkowski of I'o.sen-Wilda, Germ any, is much nioie intricatw. lie declares that he bus "invented cer tain m v and useful improvements in saf.-ty cotlins'aiid proposes to ar range his apparatus so that "an alarm will be given to the outer world by the slightest movement of the apparently dead body." To this end, Heir Kwiatkowski proposes to connect the coffin with the surfaco above the ground by a pipe or chim ney, to bo hermetically sealed and to contain n-ur the top u bright colored signal-tuft. He would then surround the supposed deceased body within by cords, and place a bridle lightly upon both the fore Lead and chest, Thus eouipped, the slightest movement of the body would n lease the springs on u rod in tlx- pipe above and the bright colored tuft would be shot out ns a signal to viurn the living. Tho breaking of the cap above would al so introluce more air into under ground prison.. That the spirit of Kthau Allen and -Geiipnd l'utuian still lingers to iu .piro t'.m patriot may seem to bo evi dences in the curious invention of C M. French and W. II. Francger of Waterloo, X. V. It is none other than a combined plow and gun, .'vhich tLe inventors call ail "improv Vl t'tdJianeo j.low." so arranged that when wanJt $ for funning tho farm er mny have a plow "equal, if not superior, in point of stre ngth nud lightness to that implement as or dinarily made," nud "when the oc casion offers, " a "piece of light or duance" of great value, "especially when used in border localities, sub ject to savage feuds and guerrilla warfare." The inventors wax elo quent in their affirmations as to tho good quulitios of their device "It is unrivalled, and in time of danger, iu repelling surprises and skirmish ing attacks on those engaged iu peaceful avocation i it may be used iu the field, ready charged with its deadly missiles of ball or grape Tho sham will hold the guu firmly on the ground nud the handles ran bo used iu giving the weupon direction. Hut not alone iu frontier districts must the liveB of people be protect i d. In civilized countries and ex pn (s tiain ages, when men can not overcome their desire to be whisked about from point to point, all care must be taken to insure their sale transportation. At least so thinks Stephen Scotton of Richmond, Va. who claims to have iu vented a "inn- chine for shooting missies at cows on railroads,'' so that hereafter, w hen the frisky cow ventures on the track, it will not be riecessary to d rail th train iu order to remove the carcass, but a shower of gravel may be expelled at the t ft'eiidiiig crea tine. Ami still another inventor, A. My- is, ( i im s to tho fescue of mat kind.

VORY IIS Tired, Weak, Nervous Could Not Sleep. Prof. L. D. Edwards, of Preston, Idaho, says: "I was all run down, weak, nervous and irritable through overwork. I suffered from brain fa tigue, mental depression, etc. I be came so weak and nervous that I could not sleep, I would arise tired, discouraged and blue. 1 began taking Dr. Miles' Nervine and now everything Is changed. I sleep soundly, I feel bright, active and ambitious. I can do more la one day now than I used to do in a week. For this great good I give Ur. Miles' Restorative Nervine the Bole credit. It Cures.'
