Lady Guides" In London.

In England, where the word "lady''
does more strenuous service than al
most anywhere else in the world,
where 'lady Journalists flourish and
"lady help" is familiar, a new '1ady''
has appeared. She is called the ''lady
guide" and although the name is
against her, she is a popular person
age and most convenient one. She
is so numerous that she has been band
ed into an organization called the Lady
Guide association.
At such season as this, when Lon
don is full of visitors, the association
is particularly valuable. The duties
which the lady guides undertake are
shown by their circular to be numer-

BALLOONS TO SAVE LIFE.

they Will Soon He Proved on the
Great Ocean Liners,
$s The balloon has become marine life
saving appliance. The big ocean gray
hounds will soon, it is thought, be
equipped with life boats harnessed to
balloons so as to be practically unsink-
able. This novel device has been pat
ented by shrewd Connecticut Yam
kee. (
While the combination boat will
doubtless prove of the greatest service
in saving people far out at sea, it will
not be available at life-saying stations.
The wind is usually blowing shore
ward when vessels are in danger. and
for this reason it would be almost i'm
possible to force the boat, hampered by
the balloon, to the assistance Of a
craft a. s
In a recent test made in the Connec-
ticut river, near Middletown, it was
shown that, even with the boat filled
with water to the gunwales, the lift
ing power Of the balloon prevented the
craft from either sinking or upsetting
The boat was constructed under Mr..
length. Cylinders filled with COM
pressed gas were placed in compart-
ments, and from these the balloon,
which was harnessed with cords to a
hollow mast connected with the cylin-
ders, was inflated. The mast, which is
Of gas pipe, is adjusta BILE, and when
turned forward the big balloon acted
as a sail ,oars proving quite unneces-
sary. .@' ny
The most interesting and convincing
portion Of the exhibition was when the
passengers and crew were landed and
the boat filed with water. Even with
the extra submersiOn, the boat foated
along with scarcely a perceptible de-
crease in speed. -
the pumps the inventor showed how
hes could pump the gas from the bal
loon back into the cylinders. Some Of
the gas was then burned as beacon
light, which could be seen for many
miles around. With this and a refec-
tor signal, flashes can be made which
would he certain to attract the atten-
ton Of passing vessels.
Another claim Of the inventor is that
it can, by being launched from sink
ing vessel, secure aid from shore be-
fore life-saving crew, even though
ready, could shoot a line aboard.
Often, owing to a strong wind directly
off shore, the lfe-savers are unable to
place life line SO that it can be Of
assistance. a.Gv ~.
This difficulty is met by Mr.. Riley,
who has supplied his boat with a line.
The boat, he claims, when supported
by the balloon, could even without a
crew, be headed for the shore, and,
owing to it's remarkable buoyancy,
would have little difficulty in riding
breakers and getting within reach Of
the life-savers.-New York Herald.

NI Il RIVAL.
The Great Plant Mt Lachine Rapid
Approaching Completion. -

The Great plant Mt Lachine nrefd
Approaching Completion.
Niagaia's great rival, the power dis
tributing plant a. lie Lachine Rapids
Of the st. Lawrence river, above Mon
treal, will, it is hoped, be completed by
the first Of the new year This is the
Harvesting Of the Lachine rapids of
the great st. Lawrence river, which
presents many engineering difficulties
owing to the formation Of tile river
channel at this point, and the extreme
cold experienced in winter, making it
necessary so to construct the dam that
the floating ice will not interfere with
the regular operation of the plant.
The work has begun by the construc-
ton Of an artificial canal along the
north shore Of the st. Lawrence right
above the Laclline rapids and five
miles from Montreal The main dam
of the work, running out from the
shore, consists of series Of isolated
piers Of masonry and concrete, and is
constructed about $500 feet down the
river from the ice tenders. These
piers are made to form the fumes to
take the turbine wheels and shafting
which generate and deliver the power.
The sixty turbines will operate under
8 head of IL feet and will develop 200
horse power each, making a total Of
1000 horsepower all the year round.
There are three power houses in which
will be located the electric generators
four in each power house, each OF
about 1000 horsepower. These gen.
orators are coupled to a jaek-shaft, and
six Of the turbines are connected to
this shaft with bevel cone gears, thus
transmitting to each generator the
power of six turbines, or 1920 horse
power. The building extends the full
length OF the main dam and is AZ feet
wide, excepting at the power house,
where it is GO feet. The original idea
Of the company was to generate the
power merely and dispose of it on the
jack shaft and to lay out a Large por-
ton Of the adjoining grounds into fac
tory sites. Recently, however, it was
decided to bring the power into Mon
treal and dispose of it there. O..
In addition to the great development
Of water power the Lachine Hydraulic
and Land company has decided to lay
out it's property adjoining the work in
the form of a model town. The prop
erty will be divided into building lots,
drained, graded, supplied with waiter,
electric lighting and electric heating,
besides having it's own electric railway

TREED BY A BIG BUCK

Maine Boys Exciting Experience
with q Bell1cose Deer:
A little son of Summer Lane, residing
in the east part of Ripley, had a most
exciting experience Sunday, and one
that he will remember for a long time.
The yOungster on his way to a neigh
boris house, was passing through an
old pasture, partly grown up to bushes
and skirted on one side by the forest.
He was walking along with little
thought Of his surroundings when. he
suddenly came upon three deer, one Of
which was a full grown buck and
having a good set of antlers. The
boys size did not impress the buck as
very formidable and he decided at
once to scrape acquaintance with the
young fellow. This did not suit the
boy at all and for protection he climb
ed up into a branch Of a convenient
tree in less time than it takes to tell 1t.
The buck wasn't looking for such a.
denouement, but he advanced to the
tree and placed his head against it and
tried to shake the boy out. The tree
was not a Large one and the yells that
the kid uttered no doubt amused the
animal, for he continued his efforts
some time and shook his horns in a
way suggestive Of disagreeaible results
should he reach the boy at short range.
The boy threw his hat at the buck and
after a time the animal trotted away
apparently satisfied that he had ac-
quilted himself in the most approved
fashion. The. boy waited until he con
sidered the coast clear. Then he start
ed for home in double quick time,
where he breathlessly related his mar
