That William O’Connor, an English laborer, “drowned" himself by breathing beer Into his lungs while taking a deep breath after drinking was the decision of a doctor testifying at a Pimlico Inquest. In a western state, where grasshoppers threatened entirely to destroy farm crops, an Inventive farmer made the grasshopper catcher, says Popular Science Monthly.
