THAT press despatch from Oklahoma
about the presidents cousin, \. Il.
Mckinley, of Albuquerque, having
been sent over there to "harmonize"
the Flynn and Barnes factions, Is truly
amusing. OF course, New Mexicans

statement that the %unobtrusive Mack Is

PREVENT SHIPS FROM SINKING
London Firm Experiments With Lii
quid Ca. Donic Acid on Vessel


In the presence OF number of ship
ping experts practical demonstra-
tor was given recently of new inyen-
ton for preventing vessels from sink
ing after being damaged by collision,
stranding, etc, at the offices of the
Insubmersible Company 81 Lime
street, f. G. The model was placed
in a tank of water, and having been
loaded with bricks and bags of sand
up to the water line, large breach in
the side of the boat was uncovered
The water rushed in at such q rate
that in less than a minute the boat
would have been submerged but when
the water had risen to the level of the
deck a number of bags were inflated
with compressed gas and the vessel
almost Immediately began to rise.
The air was then withdrawn and the
boat at once sapk to the bottom of
the tank. Again the bags were inflated
and again the vessel came to the sur
face The apparatus consists of a
number of rectangular reservoirs, or
balloons, divided into compartments
which are independent of one another.
In the event of any one of these COM
partments being destroyed or damaged
the working of the others is not inter
fered with They are made of imper-
vious and watertight tissue, and in
ordinary weather are suspended in
cCncertina fashion Under the various
decks or ceilings of cabins in the ship.
In case of accident these air bags are
at once inflated by gas, and then
caused to fill the free places of the
cabins or storerooms over which they
are fastened The gas employed is
liquid carbonic acid, which, under the
pressure of one atmosphere, is known
to develope about 400 times its volume
in gas. The gas is sent into the reser-
voirs instantaneously by its high
pressure and distributed to the diff
ferent compartments by the aid of
lever in the upper deck, also by auto
matte floats on the bottom, which
moved by the water cushing in, acts
in the same way as the lever, giving
thus two means of security in the case
of sudden action having to be taken
A second advantage claimed for the
system is that in the use of carbonic
acid gas the captains of ships have
the means of eXtinguishing fire in any
part of the vessel by the use of hose
from one Of the acid tubes Another
advantage is the use of this gas and
reservoirs for the purpose of re-foat-
ing sunken ships, and the gas could
also be utilized for a powerful fog
horn when steam was no longer avail
able

BEAUTIFUL ABOVE THE WAIST

The velvet waists that were so
handsome two seasons ago and that
were put on the market again last win
ter became promptly too common TO
hold their place. Recently some stun
ming affairs on the same order have
been imported in satin, the sort of
satin that stands alone. Shocking
at the shoulders allows for stunning
fullness with cuff bands, and the neck
with band for a collar. Large white
pearl buttons fasten down a plat in
front. The waist may be worn either
inside or outside of the belt. The
shades that are being pushed are
those that became common in the
velvet, with scarlet little brighter
than ever, and green even more vivid
The colors to choose, however, are to-
bacco brown, biscuit shade, an ivory
white OF black. A few satins with
little raised plain pin spots in con-
trasting color are especially exclusive
Besides these waists there are
plenty more that assure the continu-
ahce OF fancy 0odlceS and most wo-
men are pleased at this. One was in vio-
let taffeta covered with mousseline de
sole laid in diagonal plaits that started
at the side seams and pointed to the

sleeves were covered with draped
