LifebOat Propelled by Pumps.

While the propulsion of boats by
jets of water thrown from them to the
rear or to the front may not be econ
Omical under ordinary conditions, it
has proved decidedly satisfactory in
lifeboat service, where screw prOpel-
lers and paddle wheels are alike in
admissible. The first boat of this sort
has been in service ut Harwich, Eng,
for three years, and during hat time
she has been out twenty-eight times,
and has saved tifty-one lives. Her sue
cess has led to the construction of a
second boat on the same general style,
for which the plans were prepared by
the eminent yacht designer, c. l.. Wat
son. who is trying to lay down lines
for Il cutter to take back the Queens
cup to England. The new lifeboat is
SO feet long, IL feet in the beam, and
has a depth of 5a feet. Steam is
raised in Il m~ultitubular boiler and is
piped to Il compound engine of 225
indicated horse power, driving two
centrifugal pumps, II on each side
of the boat. These pumps draw their
supply of water from an inlet directly
below the center of the boat, and are
arranged SO that they can throw pow
erful streams ahead, back or to either
side. there being six ports in all. The
boat is called the City Of Glasgow, and
has been stationed at Harwich in place
of the former boat, which has been
sent to New Brighton. On some recent
trials it was found that by means of
one of the stern jets alone, without
rudder. the boat could be turned in
the open sea i'll q little over five min
utes, while, with both stern jets in
operation, the boat could be turned
with the rudder in about q minute
and a half. While going ahead at full
speed she can be brought to n dead

used for a bedroom if necessary, and
will be found exceedingly convenient

to the west, SO that all the living rooms
have south windows, giving plenty of
sun for people and plants in the seven
cold months, while the hall is IN the

General, which bears the suggestive
title, "Surnames in Ireland" From
that compilation One who has al eye

figures for O most interesting article.
For instance, it is shown that the most
common name ON the Emerald Isle Is
Murphy, the number of persons, great
and small, who bear that cognomen
being G2,6OO. The following come next
in order Of frequency: Kelly, $500;
Sullivan, 43,G0O; Walsh. II. 100; Smith,
