SAVING LIVES AND MONEY.

Life boats and life saving stations
were instituted on the French coasts
by the Empress Eugene in 1866.
Since the ablishment of our life
saving service. in 1871, 9.9S9 persons
have been succored at the stations.
The life saving service on the Brit
ish coast was esta blished in 1924, and
has been the means of saving 34,043
lives.
The New England States have more
savings bank depoSitors and deposits
than all the rest of the country, leav-
ing out the state of New York.
The United States has 242 life
saving stations. 1S1 on the Atlantic,
forty-eight on the lakes, eighteen on
the Pacific and one at the Ohio falls,
Louisville, Ky.
South Carolina is becoming d pros
porous state, as is shown by the num-
ber of her savings bank depositors-
81, 397. These depositors have upon
deposit the sum of 81, ,225, 453. The
state has the most savings bank de-
positors of any of the states. She
also has the most cotton manufac-
tories.

a square cross in the center, sur

and finished in 1869. Its length is
ninety-two miles, depth twenty-six
feet; the tolls average $500 per yes

tonnage. The estimated saving to
commerce is $4,000, 900 year. In
1899, 1925 vessels went through, the
mean time of passing being twenty

Steam and Automaton.

A new London steam plant has been
constructed of character so largely
automa tic in its various mechanisms
as to appear almost independent of
human attention. This is particularly
marked in the case of the huge boilers,
in the management of which, so long
as the steam pressure is under 100
pounds, the automatic stokers keep
steadily at their work feeding the fur
naces, and the steam blast keeps the
fires roaring. AS, however, the indi-
Gator on the pressure gauge creeps up
toward the 100 pound, driving belt
begins 10 slide off one wheel on
to another, and precisely at
the maximum pressure the steam
blast is shut on, the tollers stop dead,
and the fires begin to die down: then
the driving band begins to reverse its
movement, and presently the steam
blast is turned on and the fires begin

follows:
''Do you need meP If not, shall

and the sender, thinking something
wrong. reportrd bright and early
Monday morning. Finding every
thing all right, and nothing being
said about the telegram, he mentally
kicked himself for coming home.
For several hours he worked
along with poor grace. Fin
ally, word was brought to him
that his uncle wanted to see him.
and. quaking with fear, he obeyed
the summons. When he entered the
old gentleman's sanctum he was in
vited to sit down and make himself
quite comfortable. After rummag-
ing through some papers, which
were on his desk, uncle. dear, took
from them a piece of yellow paper;
turning around, he looked his nephew
straight in the eyes, and said:
''Mv boy, this telegram was re-
ceived by the head of your depart
ment Saturday afternoon; it reads:
DO you need me? If not, 1 shall
stay and signed with your name.
Did you send it?"
"Yes. uncle" came the answer
meekly.
"You did! Then, let me tell you
sir" and the atmosphere became sud
denly chilled, that l have been here
over forty years and they don't need
me-"
The telegram was laid down, and
the head of the esta blishment picked
up pen and began writing. Nephew
knew that the interview was over.
just as he was going through the
door he heard uncle mutter: ''Do
they need me?"

which result in the production O.
chlorine-a gas which can be most ~
vantageously employed in chemical
manufactures. The operation II said
to be very simple; that Is, the chlOPides
of calcium and magnesium are deeOm-
posed with lead nitrate, and the lead
chloride so formed is ut lized for the
electrolytic production of chlorine.
while the nitrates of calcium and mag.
nesium, which are also the results of
the decomposition, are heated for the
recovery OF nitric acid. which is used
for dissolving fresh quantities of crude
oxidized lead to form lead nitrate.
Silver and other metals, 1t il found,
may be precipitated from this solution
by the addition of spongy lead. The
fused chloride is, according to the
above proceeding, electrolyzed in n
glazed earthenware or enamelled iron
vessel kept at a suitable temperature;
the cell is closed on the top, and Is
provided with feed pipe for the lead
chloride, chlorine outlet pipe, and a
siphon for drawing off the purified
molten lead. The carbon electrodes
alternately anodes and cAthodes-are
securely fastened to the lid Or, the
carbon plates may be all anodes, the

Wire RhaftIng.

Experiments have been made with

ships, the result showing that when
the shaft is in position and rotatiC~'
stress Is applied, tensile fozce Is ex-
erted upon the individual wires and
their several fasteniugs-ea h is a unit
of strength sustaining its p rt of the
total amount of stress. The strength
of the individual wires aad of the
fastening being known, 1T is practic-
able to ascertain the strength of the
shaft as g. whole. Thu. If made, for
instance, in FIVE sections, its total
length 100 feet, and it's diameter IL
inches, the shaft will have $4,000 No
z steel wires, each 90 feet long, with
their $4,000 f0stenings; each wire

jury, making a total inherent strength
of 81, 500, 600 pounds or twenty-five
times greater in amount than the con-
tinuous force OF an engine of 5000
horse power. A stress OF 35 pounds

the Lead OF Others.
A crusty old bachelor once said
that a sensible woman. was the
noblest and the rzrest work of God.
His audience was composed of con-
genial friends, and he was not dis
puted, so he continued:
1.-The sensible women who are born
into this world outnumber those who
leave it six to one. 49,
''Got the figures to prove that?''
asked reporter.
mo; but you can't prove that I'm
wrong. My statement is an axiom
and will be acknowledged as such
before long"
What becomes of the sensible
women who don't die?" was the next
question.
They die fools; spoiled in the
bringing up"
A sensible woman begins early in
life to show her prevailing charac-
!erfstic. AS child she can be reas-
oned into obedience wlsen she cannot
be coaxed or driven, and, though it
would be idle to attach undue i'm
portance to the bachelors opinions
as given above, it is wise to remem-
ber that wise impulses may be
changed to bad ones by improper
training.
The sensible woman does not allow
disqualification to persuade her to
do that which is contrary to reason
or sound judgment. She never loves
man SO dearly, Notwithstanding his
bad habits, which she despises, that
''she cannot give him up" Her good
sense tells her that love is short
lived unless fed on respect. and also
an affection that is weaker than a
bad habit is scarcely worth having.
The sensible woman never does a
thing simply because every one else
is doing it, but because she has de-
cided that she may safely do it. She
cares just enough about the opinion
of her neighbors and none too much.
She who does not care what others
think of her is lacking either in good
sense or morality. She whose first
thought is What will folks sayP"
lacks good sense and firmness to do
what she believes to be right regard
woman is the medium between these
two extremes.
In time of trou BILE one turns invol-
unfairly to the sensible woman.
Others may be favored companions
when the skies are clear, but under
the clouds are useless as lace shawl
in a snow-storm. But the sensible
woman knows you are human, and al
though they may have seemed pro
sale, when your fair weather friends
are comparing you with the angels
you are not grateful She does not
gush, or look scandalized or say 81
told you so," or become sentimental.
or try to convince you that she has
suffered worse; you know at once
that she understands that she is not
wanting in appreciation or sympa-
thy, and that she will help you il
you will let her.
