Made by Initiating the Cellular Tts-
sue Beneath the skin.

\ novel means Of saving life il ma
rine accidents has been discovered,
which. if generally used. will probably
lessen greatly the number of lives los
by such accidents. The invention pa
been pronounced very important ny
the French Academy of Sciences.
which. at one of their last meetings.
l'ernnpd very attpntivelv 10 " J" ''..
by DR.. Laveraux upon the new inv"n-
ton. The inventor does away with all
arii!icial belts and Utncr Uludtiu- &C..
plianCes; he proposes TO initiate the eel
lular texture beneath the human skin
on the breast, which. if filled with air.
forms a natural pneumatic belt. by the
aid Of which one may not only float
himself. but even support another
body.
The idea is said to be perfectly prac-
ticahle. 1t has been proved that a
man weighing 100 pounds. whose spo-
citic weight is between LOS and l.1o,
whose head may weigh { pounds, needs
only about 300 cubic inches of air
within his body in order to float with
his head out Of the water. This
amount of air is easily inserted into
the hollow space beneath the skin
with DR.. Schncider'S aSeptiC Syrin-eS.
which will in one injection initiate from
20 to 81 cubic inches of air. The in
production of the point, which is only
two millimeters thick, will hardly be
felt. Such a pump is not even neccs-
sary.
1t is much simpler to use a little ap-
paratuS, which consists Of Il hollow
needle. a thin rubber hose Is inches
long, into which this needle is inserted.
A little aSeptiC cotton placed in the
open end of the rubber hose is all that
is necessary. The skin is simply rails
ed. the hollow needle introduced into
it. and then the other end of the rub
Der hose is taken into the mouth and
the mans own breath blown into it.

LOVES SWEET OBLIVION.
Roger Raised an Umbrella When
the Street Sprinkler Passed.

Roger and Angelina were walking
along Fifth avenue arm i'll arm, the
other evening. Roger vas much i'll
tereSted in Angelina, and Angelina
thought there was NJ handSomer or
smarter young mar in New York city
than Roger. Roger carried an UNI
hrella over Angelina's head, and An
gclina had gathered up her skirts and
was picking her way carefully along
the sidewalk. notwithstanding that
there had been no rain for several
days.
What was the reason of these pre-
cautions without apparent necessity!
Several reasons. In the first place,
Roger was SO much taken up with An
gulina. and Angelina was listening so
intently to the words of hOncycd wis
dom that dropped from the muStaChe-
shaded lips Of Roger that both Of them
gave only the merest attention to their
Surroundings.
Secondly. Il street sprinkling Wagon
had passed Il little while before, and

TO SING.
French Singing Masters Have Meth
ODDS That Are Quite Original.

The methods adopted by FTcncl.
singing masters have been amusingly
hurlCSqued by a French writer. Take
VI. Dclsarto, for example, who lives on
Il sixth floor at MOntmartre.
When a young man goes to the pro-
fesSOr something like the following
scene takes place:
"liave you cOurage:'
Yes"
Il warn you my way is severe. But
we will try it. Run down my six
flights of stairs as quickly as posi-
BE, and then run up again, crying out,
'BonifaCciO' in varying tones. Do that
for eight days. a hour and a half
each day. then we shall see about be.
ginning lessons"
The famous NJ. Wartel is less severe.
though equally original. He asks a
candidate to vOcalize with closed
mouth. and, if q protest be entered
against the possibility Of such a thing.
eXClaimS: $50 much the worse. You
must do it if | an to be your profes,
SOr."
Put n well known tenor employs a
stranger method still. A young lady
goes 10 him, for example, and is met
by an order TO stretch herself at full
length upon a couch. She demonstrate
but finally Obeys, and then the master
piles upon her q heap of books, sur
mounting the whole with a glass filled
with water.
'NOw sing" he commands.
Sing. sir" eXcla1ms the victim.
"Yes, my child; in singing you mus
respire as little as possible. When you
sing thus, so as not to spill the water,
| will undertake your training-not be,

large crowds who followed the dehatc

question before the senate was the
house bill appropriating 100000 to de

was some difference of opinion as To
what disposition should be made Gf 1t,
the general opinion being That 1t

bill appropriating 100000 for the eA-
penscs of the Venezuelan commission

Many patriotic speeches were made,
and while war was deprecated, all the
speakers said America would not
shrink from a wal if it was necessary
to uphold the honor and dignity Of
the nation.
The first silver vote in the senate
was taken. 1t was on a motion to re-

Washington, Dee. 2S.-The house re-
spondcd to the appeal Of the president
by passing ii tariff bill, the operation
Of which is limited to two and a half
years, and which is designed TO raise
S4O,O0D.UO FOR the relief of the treas
ury. The vote was on party lines. with
two exceptions. The Republicans all
voted for the bill except Hartman of
Montana, who did not vote, and the
Democrats and Populists against it,
save Newlands pop, New, VINO voted
in favor Of the measure.
The special order under which the
bill was brough to a vote after three
and a half hours debate, was ironclad
in Its character, and compelled the
members to adopt or reject 1t without
'~pportunity of Offering amendments OF
any kind. Although there was the
brilliant setting that usually accom-
panies a field day in the house, the
debate lacked much Of the spirit and
vim which generally characterizes o
