only means of entrance and exit thet
is via little upward opening Ike q
melon plug, and very easily made use
of, as also readily rendered water-tight
in its turn. At the top are several
little holes for ventilation, but which
can also be closed at will. Further
more there are six windows, round as
portfolios in the ordinary ship. Over
all is a flagstaff which can be lowered
and put up at pleasure, with water
proof connections and ventilation de-
vice, and on the top of the flagstaff is a
lantern. There are two oar holes also,
one on each side, similarly water-tight
in the play of the pair of strong service
able oars.
And, last and most important of all,
the apparatus always rides the wave
neutrality-suspicious., because of the
abundant ballast in the bottom. The
interior of the miniature is fitted up
comfortably, with seats all around the
wall, and there are straps for additional
support in case of storm.
For practical use, the inventor pro-
poses a "lifeboat" of this description
which shall be either feet high by
feet in diameter, at the widest girth,
with seating capacity of 10 persons,
or else one 10 feet high and 8 feet wide,
seating IS persons. The former style,
made wholesale, would cost only SIPS,
and would carry 1000 pounds without
sinking more than feet in the water,
riding as buoyant as top. In the base
would be plenty of room for supplies
and water to last from 10 to Is persons
several weeks, without any danger
from water or vitiated air. For the
first-named size of boat the circular en-
trance would be feet in diameter, and
the windows l foot. Chains are at
tached on the outside for people out in
the water to catch hold and climb up
by. The lifeboat cannot possibly tip
over, but simply hobs up and down,
like cork.
Already on Lake Calumet there is a
little ''lifeboat" of this pattern, and the
inventor expects soon to have one on
Lake Michigan.

RUZZING IN HIS POCNcT.
The Alarm Clock He Carried wouIdn
Stop Ringing.

Stop Ringing.
An engraver, who always uses a
clock to time his work at his place of
business, was the victim of practical
joke the other evening.
For some reason it was necessary to
take this clock home on a car, and his
brother fixed it so the alarm would
sound during the trip.
The car was going along smoothly
with the man standing in quite a
prominent place when the alarm
sounded.
The passengers, trying to locate the
noise, found that it originated in an
innocent little package held in the
gentleman's hand, but the scene
reached its height when the man be-
came frantic in his endeavors to hide
the timepiece either in his coat-pocket
or inside his vest.
Some one from an obscure corner re-
marked that it was time to get up for
breakfast.
The owner Of the clock was Just GO
ing to hurl it through closed window
when with few closing taps Of the
bell it became silent. -Columbus y,

INVENTED AT LAST.
A Lifeboat which VIII Neither Sink Nor
Turn Over.

That man didn't live in Chicago who
complained that there is nothing new
under the sun, else would his mind
have changed at sight of the little
model of new ''lifeboat" just patented
by Swedish-American resident of Chi
cago, A. S. Hedberg.
Made of galvanized iron-in actual
service different materials can be used
the miniature looks like a large
turnip, and is in two parts, cut apart
horizontally at the line of greatest
girth. The halves, however, are firmly
clamped together with a water-tight
connection, when the toy is dumped
into the water, to which it takes as
jauntily as a rubber feather, and the

NORWAY'S GLADSTONE.
Jacob syerdrup Is a Man of Great Ability

The man whom King Oscar and the
Norwegians now look up to as the only
one who can possibly settle the Swed-
ish-Norwegian question is the new po-
litical 'leadercof Norway, Jacob Sver-
drup, who occupies the same position
and is given the same distinguished
consideration as Gladstone in England.
