LIFE-SAvlNG BOATS.
Those Built Nowadays are Far Superio
to the Old Styles.

Those Built Nowadays are Far Superior
to the Old Styles
"Our business" said the life-boat
man, fused to be supplying the mer-
chant marine. But that is pretty we'll
gone now. Most of the ships and
steamers here are OF foreign build.
They get their boats made abroad. 1t
is on pleasure boats that boat builders
have to depend nowadays, and the man
that makes life-boats has also the
coast saving stations to supply.
1.-THE life-boat now in use, though
not at all the coast stations have 1t
(my business would be good deal
better if they did), is modelled after
the coast-guard boat of England.
Some years ago tire Government
brought over one OF these, and order
ed all our new boats to be built on the
same general plan. There are some
difference, of course. For instance,
our boat has not the heavy English
ballastkeel, weighing from seven hun
dred to eight hundred pounds. The
English boat is harder to overturn, of
course; but this is overbalanced by the
comparative lightness of the Amer
lean, and our boat, II overturned,
rights itself within three minutes. and
by self-baling scheme lets out all
the water.
"Life-boats are all metallic now.
They are made of plates OF corrugated
galvanized iron riveted together. They
cost twice as much as an ordinary boat
and last an indefinite time. Seemingly
they never wear out That is the
reason why boat builders don't espe-
cially banker after building them.
ITO show you how a metallic life
boat lasts, several years ago Captain
Dobbins was appointed superintendent
of the life-saving corps on the lakes.
When he took charge he went out
with his lists and attempted to locate
all the property of the corps There
weren't trained squads then as there
are to-day. He found the property
scattered every which way and it
seemed to be nobody's business to take
care of it. Among other things that
he found after some trouble was one OF
the life-boats, half buried in the
ground and long used as feeding
trough. 1t was metallic life-boat.
He dug it up, repaired it, and it is in
good use to-day. 1t was made by the
firm of So & So. They have been
fifteen years out Of business. That
shows the way metallic life-boat
lasts.
"What ruins it finally is rust. The
galvanized iron is flexible, it bonds.
and to stiffen it planks are fastened
down in the bottom where most OF the
strain comes. This wood retains the
water. and the rust slowly but certain
ly creeps upon the iron. But way
has lately been found to get around
this. A scheme is devised and pat
ented by which the planks are dis
I
peused with. The strips of iron arr
PASSED through a mill which turns VI
one leugthwise edge and down the
other the width of an inch, 80 th'
strip becomes stiff and inhexibls. A
these turned over edges the strips ar
riveted together. and the surface o
the boat is in ridges three or fou
inches wide.
There are four principal builder
of life-boats. They are in New York
Greenpoint. Philadelphis aud Balti
more. No, the bodybuilding trad
isn't what il used to be. But that
got to change sometime, you know. =

Interesting Investigations Recently Com.
pleted by Prof Boiiey.
Prof. II. L. Bolley, OF the Agricult.
nral Station Of Indiana, has CON-
pleted an interesting investigation rel.
alive to the .'rust" OF wheat The
following is q summary OF his con-
illusions: First the rusting OF wheat
is due to the attacks OF several species
of minute fungi; second, the disease is
propagated by means OF various
spores, one from which is developed
upon various determined and unde-
termined plants, mostly weeds. This
side form is not, as yet, proved to be
essential to the continued life of the
parasites, but its destruction decreases
the danger from serious attacks of the
disease; third, one species (P. rubigo
vera) in its uredo stage is able to pass
the winter in the tissues OF the young
wheat plant; fourth, in warm weather,
any conditions OF the soil or atmos-
phere which tend to keep the wheat
leaves constantly wet are conducive
to the rapid spread of the disease;
fifth, low-lying, rich soils az. most
subject to the disease; sixth. no varie-
ty OF wheat is known to be rust proof,
yet some possess greater powers OF re-
sistance than others; seventh, though
not proved, an excess of nitrogen in
the soil Is TO be considered, probably
as liable to produce wheps easily
affected by rust. III fertilizers are to
be applied to such lands. thpso con-
tanning only inorganic elements are
most advantageous so far as immuni-
ty against rust is concerned; eighth,
In districts liable to severe visitations
of the disease, early-ripeniDy wheats
are to be preferred.

Some persons seem to think that q
revision of the laws is not particularly
necessary just now. The constitution
commands it, perhaps, bat IL is of Sec
ondsry importance. This is grave
error. No doubt there is new legisla-
-tion that is needed, that the people
want, and that will do good. We
know Of such. But the revision is also
very much needed. In ten years, with
q number OF legislatures at work, with
the supreme and appellate courts in
terpreting and throwing new light
upon what the legislators do, a thous-
and inconsistencies are developed, old
laws are found to be useless or cum
bersome, new ones TO be inconsistent
with other new ones, and SO on, dd in.
fnitum. The desirable thing, then,
is to bring order out of chaos; to elm
mate the useless or superfuous, 10
amend the faulty, and to harmonic
the whole. 1t is great mistake to
think the lawyers profit by the re-
vision. Not at all. They would ratb-
er profit by a confusion of the statutes,
winch confuse and perplex the layman.
IL Is 10 the interest of the mass of q q
people to have the law plain and INTEL
ligible. The trainers of the constitu-
tiop were, therefore, right when the Y
provided for revision of the statutes
every ten years, aud though it costs
something to obtain it,ilit is worth to
the state all that it costs.

Only few days ago the newspapers
were filled with long lists of names.
Funereal they looked, somber and
painful to read, because they were the
names of fellow beings supposed to
have been cruelty drowned at sea from
the steamer DanInark. but now we
know these people were not lost, that
they were saved by an ocean steamer,
some OF them landed at Azores and
that 800 OF them have arrived at
Philadelphia safe and sound. What
plesses us, too, is that the vessel which
saved them was the Missouri-grand
old Missouri; gallant Captain Murrell,
took them all aboard at the necessity
OF jettisoning large part of his cargo
i. o throwing it into the sea. 1t
was on April 9th that the Daunark in
a sinking condition by reason of
