A new plan for the rescue OF shipwrecked
sailors, which it is thought is great i'm
provement on the inventions now employed,
has been proposed to Secretary Whitney by
Rear Admiral Ammen. II consists of the
construction Of what is called balsa, or
float, The rear admiral suggests the follow
ing method OF launching them: THE head
sail should be hoisted SO as TO bring the wind
quarterly oil bags would be thrown over
from each quarter, The railing at the stern
fitted for unshipping would be let down and
the launching skids put in place and the
balsa carried aft by eight men and lowered
with four on it. Then rough car TO fit n
the skids would be loaded with the helpless
persons and lowered 10 the balsa, be received
and placed, and the operation continued until
the boat has her load, then she would be cast
adrift, make drag of her mast and sail,
throw overheard her oil bag, and the same
operation would be repeated until every one
was embarked. Then they should fasten to
each other in sections of dves.n Tho balsa
consists of two casks, upon which platform
is laid In the casks are seuttles for slowing
provisions, A sufficient number of them 70
carry q Thousand people could, in the opinion
Of the rear admiral, be carried on a large
steamer without Inconvenience. .-C Chicago

HOW'S
YlUR LIVER I?

Is the oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy liver. When the
liver is torpid the bowels
are sluggish and constipa-
ted, the food lies in the
stomach undigested, pois-
oning the blood; frequent
headache ensues; a feeling
of lassitude, dependency
and nervousness indicate
how the whole system is
deranged. Simmons Liver
Regulator has been the
means of restoring more
people to health and hap
piness by giving them a
healthy liver than any
agency known on earth.
