which shall be either eight feet high
by six feet in diameter, at the widest
girth, with a seating capacity Of ten
persons, or else one ten feet high and
eight feet wide, seating twenty-f five
persons. The former style Of boat,
made wholesale, would cost only $125,
and would carry 1000 pounds without
sinking more than four feet In the
water, riding as buoyantly as a top.
In the base would be plenty of room
for supplies and water to last from
ten to fifteen persons several weeks,
without any danger from water or
vitiated air. For the first named size
of boat the circular entrance would be
three feet in diameter, and the win
dows one foot. Chains are attached
on the outside for people out in the
water to catch hold and climb up by.
The Mfeboat cannot possibly tip over,
but simply bobs up and down like q
cork.
Already on Lake Calumet there is a
little ''lifeboat" of this pattern, and
the inventor expects soon to have one
on Lake Michigan.-Chicago Inter

SOME ODD SITUATIONS.
Victoria Employs a Rat-Catcher and
WQx.Fitter.

VICTORIA employs a H0tsC0tCneE ana
Wax-Fitter.
Queen Victoria's household is q
large one, consisting of. just under q
thousand persons, for the mainten-
ance Of whom the nation sets apart
the sum of $2,5OO,OOO every year.
Most Of the offices are sinecures or
fixtures for life.
Some of the posts are entirely orna-
mental, and others have very little
duty attached to them. Probably the
only additions to the household since
the time of Henry VIII, are two steam
apparatus men.
Although there is no longer royal
barge, nor any pageantry on the
Thames, there are still a bargemaster
and waterman, with a salary each
Of $4,000 year.
There are four table deckers, whose
sole duty is to lay the dinner cloth and
see that the plates, dishes and cutlery
are fairly set forth. ......
There Is also O wax-fitter, who sees
the candles properly disposed, and q
!. hrst and second lamplighter, who re.
ceive $500 year.
Then there is the t'keeper of the
swans" who annually pockets $50 for
looking after the sacred birds on the
royal waters.
Lastly, there is the Queens mt
catcher" who is especially attached to
Buckingham Palace. His Office is by
no means a sinecure.
His salary, SIS Is provided outside

DEALING IN OLD BOOKS.
Sources Of supply and Peculiaritiea
of the Trade

of the Trade.
Secondhand book shops not Of the
largest sort depend for much Of their
stock upon books brought in or parts
Of lbrariesofered for sale by the own
ers. When man sells his whole H.
brary he usually goes to an auctioneer.
When he wishes to get rid of trash he
seeks a dealer in second hand books.
Some persons sell their books when
hard up instead of going to a pawn
shop. The weeks between March. and
May see many books sold by fami-
lies about to remove. Some persons
on going to Europe, sell their books
Instead of storing them. Needy stu
dents sell or exchange for new text
books the old ones they have finished.
The second hand dealers complain,
that most Of the books offered are Of
small value. But then the booksellers
Pay very little for them, cnd some are
bought by weight as old paper, to be
spread upon the five-cent tray. The
ordinary secondhand dealer has few
offers Of foreign books, save French
works, classical text books and school
grammars Of various modern Ian.
guages. A few Russian, Scandinavian
and Turkish books are offered, and
now and then a Chinese book turns
up. Polyglot as is the population Of
New York, no bookseller makes q
speciality Of hooks in all the modern
European languages. Even Italian
and Spanish books, other than text
books are comparatively scarce. The
booksellers say that there is not suf-
ficient call for foreign books other
than French to make it profitable to
keep stock of them.
The secondhand dealers commonly
have specialties. Those near the medi.
cal schools keep books on medicine.
and those near the theological semin-
aries go In for books on theology.
But there is no such demand for sec.
ond-hand text books here as in the
great European cities, where there
are more students and vastly more
very poor students than here. Stu.
dents at colleges within fifty miles of
New York buy a good many text
books from the second hand dealers Of
this city. Philadelphia secondhand
dealers have trade of the same kind.
The stock of the secondhand dealer
Is in a constant state of change.
Books come in to him every day from
aH sorts Of people. The dealers in
secondhand furniture are constantly
picking up few volumes for next to
nothing, and some of these eventual
~ reach the secondhand book stores.
Secondhand dealers receive every
week invitations to come and appraise
anywhere from ten to 100 volumes
that library owners wish to get rid
of for the sake Of making room for
better books.
The professional library supplies

sellers make speciality of providing

sUB-sIDEWALK RAILWAY.

A Novel Invention Which Occupies
But Little Space.
"A novel plan for sub-sidewalk rail-
road, to take the place Of elevated
roads for rapid transit, has been de-
signed by a Chicago inventor, who
claims great advantages for his new
system. He has secured the backing Of
considerable capital for his scheme, and
the city government will be asked to
grant q conditional franchise IN order
to allow q fair trial Of the merits of
the plan. The road, as Its name I'M
plies, is to be built under the sidewalks
Of the street, the space required being
only eight feet in width by eight feet
in height At the curbline wall is
laid from one end Of the street to the
other. Under the other side Of the
walk the curb wall Is paralleled with q
stone foundation for posts and fence.
On this foundation and on the base Of
the curb wall rails are laid. Iron col
umns are set on the inner wall support
ing Orders level with the top of the
curb wall, and marking the line be-
tween the sidewalk proper and the So
called area space. A wire fence con-
meets the posts and separates the rail-
road from the area space. This space
will be for stairways and entrances to
the Easements. With the curb wall
girders and bases of buildings for sup
port, a prismatic walk is laid for the
purpose of admitting light into the
space below. Electricity is to be the
motive power. The speed, the plan

miles an hour, and may, in some cases,
be as high as sixty miles an hour. One
of the advantages claimed for the road
is that it will convert the Easements Of
buildings into valuable property. This
and other circumstances, 1t Is believed.
would make the property owners read
lily give their consent to the construc-
tion of the road. The speed will be at
least three times as great as that Of
the cable lines and twice as great as
that of the elevated roads. Moreover,
the snow and wind will be kept from
the road by its roof and will not there
fore interfere with the regularity Of its
running.-New York Post.
