LIFK.PREs eRvER.

The following simple method of rescue
ing drowning persons from watery grave,
is contained 10 long article on that sub
iect, in late Liverpool paper, and is
deserving of attention. The writer says,
IL any one estimate inventions 10 the
inverse ratio of their simplicity, they will
smile to hear that the iifs-preseruer Which
have so highly extolled. is no more than
hat and a pocket haadkerchief;* SO that
every man has, at all times about his per-
sou. an apparatus which may be the
means of saving the life of fellow crea-
ture.
g With these simple means, any man
who can swim may safely enter the water,
with the certainty Of rescuing drowning
person. All the preparation, which ueed
not occupy ten seconds, is this: Spread
the handkerchief out 90 the ground,
and place the hat upon it in the centre,
with the crown upwards, 10 the ordinary
position of wearing then gather up the
four corners of the handkerchief over the
crown Of the hat, giving it a few twists, for
the greater convenience of grasping with
the hand. The hat must then be inverted,
(the crown downwards,) in this position,
it is confidently asserted, any person may
safely enter the water; as the cavity of
the hat contains much greater quantity
of air, than is requisite 10 sustain any
man. l found that the hat with which I
tried the experiment, would almost sup
port me aud another person clinging to me,
neither of us making the least effort to
float by any effort Of the hands and feet.
The mode should adopt, however, in
using the life preserver, would be to
give up the handkerchief TO the person
whose life was in danger, add immedi-
ately disengage myself from him. He
would soon discover that he was buoyed
up, AMI would recover his presence Of
miod but whether he would or not, il
would be OF little consequence, as long as
he retained his grasp Of the handkerchief.
Whilst he was thus supported nothing
could be more easy than to push him TO
the shore with one hand, swimming with
the other.
A large silk handkerchief is the best
for the occasion.--E. Post.
