oaivnnIzed Iron Llfeboat.

Some of the features in new life
boat recently exhibited in Baltimore
appear to be a decided Improvement
upon the usual construction. The
boat is made of galvanized iron; there
is at each end hooded cabin rising
above the sides and closed by water
tight dam; and, should the boat be
overturned, il would instantly right
itself. by reason of the air contained
in these compartments; ventilation Is
secured by air tubes, closed by valves
to prevent the entrance of water when
waves wash over the loaf or it is over
turned in the sea. Between the two
end compartments the boat is declIed
over and has two seats, also overlocks
for rowers; beneath the deck is tank
for fresh water, with tube leading to
it, TO which may be attached a pumps;
another tube leads to the bottom for
pumping out any water which
may be washed into the hold, and
nal staff. A unique featureis means
of self propulsion to and from a
stranded vessel on the shore, as fol-
lows: A small tube runs from each
end to the deck section, and through
these tubes rope may be passed and
n turn taken around reel and wind
lass in the middle of the deck. With
one end of the rope fastened on board
the vessel from which the boat is
launched and the other fastened on
shore after the boat is rowed or has
drifted through the breakers, it is
claimed the little vessel may be easily
propelled from one place to the other
by turning the windlass.

JESSE'S BAD BOY.
Full OF Mischiof-How lie Outrode the
Cyclone on Plank.


Cyclone on a Plank.
Jesse's. boy was bad. When he
was little fellow who could Just
toddle he was bad. Mischief shone
in his eyes. lurked in his broad nose
and grinned openly from his mouth,
says the New York Tribune. At
years he would come to the store
for biscuit. show his penny, but
when he got the biscuit off went bis
cult, penny and boy, and feet must
be the foot to catch him. At a safe
distance he would stand derisively
waving biscuit and penny with a
"Don' yo' wish yo' had UNI" When
years old he caught his fathers
unbroken celt and scrambled on his
back. The colt galloped madly
down the road, but the boy stuck on
and soon rode proudly back, the colt
conquered. Many a stolen ride he
had after that
1t became his greatest pleasure to
exhibit his skill, racing up and down
before the store. Meet HIM in the
road it was: "Give me a ride, Mr..
Mac" When he tired of hanging on
behind he ran races with the horse,
but TO his chagrin, fleet as he was,
the horse could beat him.
AT 8 his badness had increased
with his years, and one day he stole
chicken and was discovered. Now
Jesse was big. powerful man, and
his blows were hard to stand up un-
der, so to save the beating he knew
was in store Jesse's boy ran of to an
aunt who lived some miles away on
Eustis plantation. All that day it
stormed and when night came the
tides rose so high that the house was
surrounded by water, and still on it
came. The occupants turned to flee
-one man was drinking his coffee,
the other called him to come. IN OF
till done drink" he said. They
left him and the next moment the
house fell.
Jesse's boy got astride a plank.
He saw his aunt sink in the water.
Amid wind and rain he foated out,
an atom on the angry waters.
At daybreak, miles away, two men
searching for bodies, heard a shrill
little voice say: "Get up, old
plank" And riding the water as
fearlessly as though on his beloved
colts back. came Jesse's boy. Just
the boy. Wind and rain had stripped
every vestige of clothes from his
back. dashed and beaten him. but
with his bare body, brimful OF cour-
age yet. after q night that would have
shaken the heart of the strongest
man.
But the little fellow paid dearly
for his terrible night, and for weeks
the hoy was sick unto death Now.
however. on the road can be seen the
small piece OF black humanity, with
mischief shining in his eyes.

CHATTER APPROPRIATENESS.
Graillieres went upstairs, followed by his
two men. On the third floor there was O
door half-open, and in the room within they
saw man sharpening his knives. The man
looked up, and, seeing stranger, was
seized with an instant suspicion, and
stretched out his hand to snatch up a shaw
ing-knife, the first instrument of defence or
attack which offered itself. But Monsieur
Grilleres threw himself upon him. "You
are my prisoner" he said
"Why do you arrest mep cried the man.
"My name Is Chaligny."
Duprat, one of the police-ofllcers, had
been immured as hostage at the prison OF
La Sante during Serizier's reign of terror.
He recognized the ci-deuant colonel at .
~lance.
"You are Serizier," he said; II remember
you perfectly"
"Yes," answered the other doggedly, II
am Serizier. The game Is up, and / know
what have TO expect. But IL l had seen
You fellows on the staircase just now, you
should not have taken me alive"
He made no resistance, and was taken to
the police-ofiice, where he himself dictated
his deposition. Thence he was transferred
to the Prefecture. Thence again, after the
usual formaites, he was sent TO the Depot.
"My affairs are settled" he said to his
custodians. III have done enough to get my
head washed in leaden bath; but it's ali
the same to me. regret nothing; l only
did my duty"
Colonel Serizicr was right in his prophecy.
His doom was to be the leaden bath; but
the laws delays are tedious, and the muir.
derer arrested in October was not to be des-
patched until the following February.

Transparent Leather.

The manufacture of transparent
leather, an article which has lately at
tracted some attention, may be accom-
plished, according to the Magazin
Picturesque, in the following manner:
After the hair has been removed from
the hide, the latter, tightly stretched
upon frame, is rubbed with mix
ture consisting of one thousand parts
glycerine, two parts salicylic acid, two
parts picric acid, and twenty-five parts
boric acid. Before the hide is abso-
lutely dry it is placed in room which
the rays of the sun do not penetrate.
and is saturated with solution of BIZ
chromate of potash, and, on the hide
becoming very dry, there is applied TO
its surface an alcoholic solution of
tortoise shell, by which transparent
aspect is obtained. The leather is of
an exceedingly flexible character, and
is used for the manufacture of toilet
articles, though it is claimed to be
fairly adapted to the production of
foot gear.

Superintendent Walling grabbed his
man at the back OF the coat collar
and marched him down Broadway on
his way TO police headquarters.
The willy Joe had prepared himself
for just such an emergency by wear
ing coat that he could slip out of

When Blocker street was reached
Joe made a quick dash for liberty,
and to the superintendents horror
he held nothing but an empty coat
in his hand, while his prisoner in
his shirt sleeves, swiftly fled across
Broadwa", and lodging between
trucks was lost to sight.

THE rRICoLOR.
How France Came to Adopt the Red,
White and Blue.

How France Came to Adopt the Red,
White and Blue.
Some seventy or eighty years be-
fore France was involved in the
flames of the revolution-that is. at
the epoch OF the war of the success
sion. when she was in close alliance
with Spain aud Bavaria-it was
thought desirable TO distinguish the
allied soldiers by a cockade, which
combined the colors of the three ma
tions-the white OF France. the red
of Spain and the blue of Bavaria
To none of these incidents. how
ever, would it be wise to attribute
the origin OF the historic tricolor,
and cockade adopted by revolutionary
France. At the outset there seemed
q likelihood that green-which Cam
lille Desmoulins had popularized at
the Palais Ro" al-would have be-
come the nat lal color; but men
remembered time that it was that
of the Comte d'Artois, the most un-
unpopular of the Bourbon princes,
and it was thereupon discarded.
A proposition was then made to
assume ;he colors OF the city of Paris
- blue and red, as Dumas reminds us
in his six Ans Apres To this
was added the white" OF so many
glorious memories, because it had
been selected by the National Guard
always faithful to the throne and
its traditions
Not until some months after the
capture OF the Bastile was the tri-
color definitely adopted, says All the
Year Round, when Bailey and Lafay-
cite presented it to Louis XVI. in the
great hall of the Hotel de Vile. and
the convention in which il was de-
scribed as consisting of three colors
-"disposees en- trois bandees egales,
de maniere que le bleu soft attache
a la garde du pavilion. lie blanc au
milleu, ct lie rouge aottant dams les
airs"--that is. in equal vertical sec
irons with the blue inward. the red
outward. and the white between.
This is the historic flag which Ma
poleon's legions, in conjunction with
their eagles, bore victoriously from
the Seine to the Elbe, the Tagus. the
BOrodino, and the Danube; which
they planted.victoriously on the walls
of almost every European capital. .

Clearing Railroad Tracks of snow.

An ingenious device Of special use
fulness at the present season is the re-
Gently invented mechanism for clear
ing the inner sides of track rails from
snow, which lies in the path of wheel
flanges and ordinarily gets impacted.
This contrlvance, adapted to be Sc
cured directly forward of the engine
trucks, comprises a transverse beam
linked to hangers, the beam having at
each end peculiarly formed metallic
scraper, with snout or lip depending
about half way down the rail, or some
what deeper than the reach OF the
wheel flanges; this scraper point is in
clined like pillow point, scooping up
the snow, which is DETECTED outward
ly by curve In the plate. For rails
ing the continuance out of operative
position when not required angle
levers are pivoted in hangers from the
main frame, connection being made
from one of the angle arms by rod to
an air cylinder. In operation, the
points of the shovels or plows travel
along the inner side of the head of the
rail and to depth about equal to or a
little greater than that of the wheel
fiange, their position being regulated
by the swinging movement OF the
frame which carries them, so that they
may not only be set to the required
depth, but can be raised entirely out
of the way when necessary. The nor
NAL position is an elevated one, in
which they are entirely out of opera

Gold in the Ocean.

In a recent paper on the subject of
gold in the waters of the ocean, by
Pickard, the well-known engineer, at
tention is called to the fact that to
arrive at an approximate estimate as
to quantity in solution, account must
be made of local conditions, such as
the temperature of the water, etc.
According to results obtained from the
careful soundings made by the Chal-
lenger and similar scientific expedi-
tons. it has been computed that the
ocean has an average depth of $500
fathoms and that it contains 400, O00,-
600 cubic miles of water, equivalent
to ], 1897, 030, 272, 600 million tons, which,
upon the basis of five milligrams per
ton, would represent 10, $50 million
tons Of gold. In striking contrast to
these figures is the statement made by
Soetboer, Leech and others that the
gold production of the world during
the last four 1S92-haS
amounted to but 5, 020 tons, while the
present output is estimated at about
200 tons per annum. 1t is an interest
ing chemical fact that the gold in sea
water is kept in solution as an iodide.
The amount of free iodine in the ocean
is very minute, but large proportion
of that element occurs combined as an
iodate of calcium; thus, from the rer
suits of his various series of expert
ments, Sonstadt found that a cubic
mile of sea water contains about H.
600 tons of iodate of calcium, or IL, o72
tons of iodine. The iodine which
maintains the gold in solution is OBJ
tanned from the iodate of calcium.
