Water-Tight Compartm ents.

The frequency of collisions at sea and

Investigations and experiments in the
line of water-tight COMPARTMENTS. It

other to have safety appliances always

has been said that certain of our large
passenger steamships have, On occa-

ments into places for Storage passen-

common humanity and regard for the

a waste OF time and shargy to prepare
the means of safety at a great expense
when proper care is not taken to keep
them within available reach.

A New Electric Candle.

In banquet rooms and many other
places, an electric candle serves most
excellent purpose. Under the table
cloth are placed pads connected with
the electrical apparatus. Candlesticks
of suitable style are placed over these
pads, and are connected with them by
tiny points of metal passing through
the tablecloth. This establishes the cur
