A Life Saving Dress.

The problem of a life saving dress
which shall be what its name implies is
one that has often been attempted, but
in one point or other is as yet unsolved.
A Michigan diver claims, however, to
have discovered solution.
The dress is combination Of divers
suit and the famous Paul Boyton rig. It
differs from the latter in that it is not in
dated, and resembles the former I'm that q
helmet with contrivances for seeing and
breathing forms part of the outfit. The
principal garment resembles child's
Mghtdress, being wide enough at the
neck to admit the body, and possessing
arms and legs The neckband is fastened
with simple continuance, and it is
claimed that by means of a series of
overlapping folds in the junction between
the headpiece and the lower garment a
person incased can breathe freely.
Around the waist is a peculiarly con-
structed Life preserver, capable of sup
porting ten times the weight of a large
man, and at the feet are leaden soles, the
object of which is to maintain the wearer
in an upright position in the water. 1t is
claimed that a person can rig himself
or herself-the garment is fitted for wo-
men as well as men-inside of two
minutes, and that when once incased
sinking is an absolute impossibility The
inventor claims that fully 80 per cent. OF
people who are supposed to have been

A Word About the Bolt Die Stock

No turning back over the threads after
" Duplex"
All mechanics agreeing that the turning
back against the cutting edge Injuries the
dies much more than the actual cutting.
When the - Duplex dies become dull
by CUTTING, they can readily be renewed by
sharpening on a grindstone. Thus max
ing the life of these dies longer, at least by
four fold than any other made, and at the
same time avoiding the common occur
renee of stripping or weakening the thread
and rendering the work worthless.
This tool, when set to any desired size,
can instantly be released and lifted off and
reset to same size without trial, thus in
| surfing all the threads uniformly alike. 1t
adjusts to all the variations in iron-rough,
| diversified iron is shaved to standard size
| and threaded at the same time. This can
not be accomplished with any other Die
| Stock The " Duplex being the only tool
made allowing one set of dies to accurately
cut two distinct sizes-in the adjustment
no wrench, screw driver or any extra tool
being used-and when adjusted is as rigid
| as solid die, and will do at least one-third
more work in the same space of time. We
| solicit a comparison with other makes
both as to range of sizes each tool cuts
and prices, as well as price OF extra dies.

THE STREET SCHEDULE.
Maj. Raymond Replies to the Criticisms
made at the East Washington Meeting.

A STAR reporter asked Engineer Commits
sloner Raymond to-day whether he had any,
thing to say regarding the criticisms upon the
Commissioners for their manner of preparing
the schedule for street Improvements made at
the meeting of the East Washington Citizens
association on Monday evening. Major Ray
mond said:
The statements of Mr.. Weller are untrue,
and he must have known it, for he has evil
IDENTITY examined the appropriation bill care
fully. 1t is not true as he states, that it rested
with the Commissioners to apportion the
amount of reduction in the estimates. On the
contrary the bill provides specifically the
amount to be expended in each section, and
the Commissioners have no more control over
these amounts than Mr. Weller has, and
are not responsible for the percentages
OF reduction IN any way whatever.
SO far as reductions i'll the general schedule are
concerned, these were made without any refer
ence to sections. for streets are put upon this
schedule only when their improvement Is con-
sidered desirable for the benefit of through
traffic. and not for local benefit. The schcd-
ules were prepared in my office. under my per-
sonal direction, were submitted by me to the
board, and after careful examination and full
discussion. were adopted by the
board exactly in accordance with my recon-
mendations. The board has shown no
AootC w dppOftiOL lut HlOHtN. lHeN dCltu on
the schedule because l submitted it. and sub
mitted it because it was necessary in order to
prepare advertisements and specifications which
involve much labor. with view to contracts
when the money is available. ANY new board
will find no difficulty in modifying the
schedules at any time between now and the lst
Of July. 1t is, however. not very probable
that the schedule will be changed if l remain
Engineer Commissioner, unless | consent to It.
THE charge ofuniust discrimination is ridicu-
lous. Why should I discriminate? l have no
interests of any kind whatever in any part of
the city. So long as have charge of the prep
aration Of the schedule, l shall recommend
that, so far as the law allows, the funds be al
lotted to the best advantage of the city. re-
garded as a whole, and without reference to
the interests of any particular section. Il do
not think it a matter Of any Importance that
this or that section should get what it may
happen to consider its share. would like to
see the sectional schedules abolished and have
everything put on the general schedule"

THE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.
The Commissioners Discover That Mr..
Webb Authorized the Sale of Barrels.

Commissioner Wheatley has about completed
his inquiry into alleged abuses at the Wash
lnGton asylum. He told STAR reporter to-day
that he wanted to examine Mr. Stoutenburgh
the intendtnt, further on one point The tes-
timony taken will fill 200 type-written pages
1t is conflicting in many points.
Mr.. Wheatley spoke of it to-day as a "prob-
lem and said he would submit the whole testi-
mony taken to the board of Commissioners and
let them solve the problem. One of the Com
missioners has been a witness in the case That
is Mr.. Webb, whose testimony was taken by
Mr.. Wheatley, in regard to the sale of the bar
rels, bones and refuse There is something
singular about the disposal of old barrels.
When Mr.. McGuigan's charges were published
Mr.. Stoutenburgh published general denial
and asserted that he had disposed of no old
property except in the regular way through the
property clerk. Nothing seemed to be known
at the District building about it at all The
property clerk thought all materials sold by
Mr.. Stoutenburgh were noted in Mr.. Stouten-
burSh 5 reports, but the reports were found to
contain no reference to such material
When STAR reporter investigated the matter
hndIng the men who were in the habit of pur-
chasing the barrels and not finding any account
OF their sale rendered to the auditor or col
lector, MIR. W4eatey began to investigate it by
gong over the same ground that The STAR re-
porter had traversed. The facts obtained so
lar as STAR reporter could learn, we're the
same as published in THE STAR. Now, after all
tins trouble, 1t turns ont. in some way.
that Mr.. Webb authorized the sale of this old
material without the rendition of an account.
In his testimony, it is understood. he stated
that he was informed by Mr. Stoutenburgh of
this practice permitted by former Commits
sloners. and he told Mr.. Stoutenburgh to do as
he had been accustomed to. If Mr.. Webb had
recoilected TINS or spoken of it earlier, MIR.
Wheatley might have been saved considerable
trouble
