He Was Varney Gaskill's Con-
idential Man and
Cashier.
INSURANCE MEN SURPRISED.
Trouble in the City Agency of the
Alliance Company on Califor.
MIA Street.

Walter Parks, the well-known insurance
man, who has been familiar figure among
agents on California street for many wears,
was missed by his friends and acquaint-
ances yesterday and for some time be-
fore.
Those who were most directly interested
in Parks in insurance circles admitted
their complete surprise and, indeed, said
thay felt concerned over his absence.
Parks was confidential handbook
keeper, cashier, etc.-for Varney W. Gas
kill, City agent for the Alliance Company
of London under the general manage
ment of N. T. James. The Alliance is one
of the large English corporations con-
Quoting a fire insurance business here. Its
Pacific Coast business last year was $134,-
423, very large proportion OF which was
done in San Francisco. This large vol
ume of local transactions passed through
Gaskil1's Office and consequently through
Parks hands.
Now Parks was trusted. There was no
reason to suspect that anything out OF the
ordinary could be found in the accounts
of the City agents Office, and SO all went
along smoothly with balance on the
right side. The smooth progress of things,
however, it appears was interrupted the
other day when Mr.. Parks did not put in
an appearance at his desk as usual.
The first intimation on the outside of
the office that all was not well was when
Varney Gaskill told some insurance men
that Parks had taken French leave.
He admitted that his trusted employee
had gone away in a most unceremonious
manner, without even leaving the least
word as to where he intended spending
the summer.
"The last we heard of him." said Gas
kill, "was in a furnishing store.
where Parks bought some travelling shirts
and other clothes needed for long jour
ney. He said he was IN a great hurry as
he wanted to catch train, and appear
ances sustained his remarkstto the store
keeper. I'd like to know where he is now.
'My books are short fully $500, and
don't know how much more may be dis
covered"
Gaskill had to employ new man to go
over the books and also keep up the daily
work of the office. He appeared to be
greatly disturbed over the whole matter:
From insurance men who knew Parks for
years it was learned that ne had been in
trouble once before. That was about two
years ago, when Parks was general agent of
the German Insurance Company of Pitts
burg, in which he succeeded E. P. Farms
worth & Co.
Ed Farnsworth was a good friend of
Parks, as subsequent events proved. Parks
went to Honolulu and came back after a

he did not run away, as the papers had
stated at the time of his leaving San Fran
cisco. On the contrary, he declared, the
trip was taken both for business and his
health.
On that occasion it was openly stated
that the books of the German of Pittsburg

BOTTLES MAKE TROUBLE
Inferior Shoppers Cause False Report
to Go Out That Point Reyes
Cream Is Impure.

In regard to the Alameda reports of i'm
pure bottled cream, Manager Russell of
the Point Reyes Company says that the
cream became unsuitable for use owing to
an inferiority in the bottles, which was
not discovered until after few of them
had been filled and sent out.
The trouble was that the shoppers of the
bottles were not alright, as they should
have been and were guaranteed to be by
the manufacturers of the bottles. When
the air got into the bottles it spoiled the
cream.
Manager Russell says the company was
imposed on by the manufacturers of the
bottles, and that the company is not
responsible for the spoiled cream. He is
calling in the inferior bottles as rapidly as
possible.
In speaking yesterday of the cream to a
CALL reporter DR.. M. T. Wilson of this
City said he prescribes the cream for in
fants, and that it gives entire satisfaction.

A NATURAL LIFE BELT
Air Injected Under the Skin Will Float
Man.

Air Injected Under the Skin Will Float
| a Man.
j Dr. Schneider reiswerk, in Basic,
has discovered a novel means of saw
ing life in marine accidents, which if
| generally used will probably lessen
. greatly the number of lives lost by
. such accidents, says the Philadelphia
! Record.
| His invention has been pronounced
very important by the French Acad
envy of Sciences, which in one of their
last meetings listened very attentively
to lecture by DR.. Lanveraux upon the
new invention. The inventor does
away with all artificial belts and other
| floating appliances; he proposes to in
fate the cellular texture beneath the
human skin on the breast, which, il
filled with air, forms a natural pneu-
| matte belt, by the aid of which one
may not only float himself but even
support another body. The idea is said
to be perfectly practicable. 1t has been
proved that man weighing 100 pounds,
whose specific weight is between 109
and ITO, whose head may weigh seven
pounds, needs only about 200 cubic
inches Of air within his body in order
to float with the head out Of the water.
This amount of air is easily inserted
into this hollow space, beneath the
skin with DR.. Schneiders aseptic syr-
inges, which will in one injection in
fate from twenty to thirty-five cubic
inches of air. The Introduction of the
point, which is only two millimeters
thick, will hardly be felt. Such pump
is not even necessary. 1t is much sim
pier to use little apparatus, also pat
ented by DR.. Schneider, which consists
| of hollow needle, thin rubber hose
eighteen inches long, into which this
| needle is inserted. A little aseptic
cotton placed into the open end of the
| rubber hose is all that is necessary.
The skin is simply raised, the hollow
needle introduced into it, and then the
other end of the rubber hose is taken
into the mouth and the mans own
breath blown into it. Two deep res
pirations, which are blown into each
side of the breast, will be sufficient to
float a man, however heavy.
