he can carry himself rapidly through
the water. The motion of the pedals
operates the wheel at the rear of the
machine, and that propels the bicycle
onward. A lantern up in front of the
sail lights the water and renders the
life-buoy an object that can be spied
far off.
This apparatus, while it looks very
complicated, is most simple. 1t can be
taken apart into II pieces. But ordi-
narily the whole is left in one piece.
folded together like camp stool. The
pedals and handles fold and the blades
of the screws come together, thus max
ing the buoy one that can be stored in
small space.
The question of life-saving, says the
Cincinnati Tribune, is one that is &C.
cupying more and more of the attention
of the United States authorities. When
the life-saving service was organized in
1871 ocean travel was small compared
with the present day. There were
scarcely a hundred first-class passenger
steamers plying between the seaports
of the countries, and, though accidents
were more numerous, fewer lives were
imperiled when the accident did oc-
cur. The lifeboats were adequate to
hold all the passengers. But in these
days, when hundreds of cabin passen-
gers can be booked on an outgoing
steamer, it is impossible to supply half
the number of rescuing boats needed If
such calamity as an ocean disaster
should occur. For these steamships
the bicycle life buoy is of the utmost
value. But its principal use is for the
life-savers of the coast, who do heroic
work every day in the year, and who
last year saved $11,OOO,0Oo worth of
property from passenger and merchant
steamships. They will ride the life
buoy out to the wreck, and come Back
riding the machine with the rescued
party firmly tied TO one of the cork
pillows that is warranted to float in any
sea.

July 29, 1897.

This week we desire to call
attention to our large and va
ried assortment of Carpenters
Tools, among which will be
found many novelties.
Balsley's Screw Drivers may
be mentioned as one of these.
This little instrument can be
accurately adjusted in. a mo-
ment to fit any sized screw
and there is no danger of its
slipping off the screw head,
thus saving much valuable
time, not to mention the wear
and tear of a mans temper.
We have in stock a line of

ing up Of The deed. In the coun-
try, in Prussia, even this il not
usually wanted, the mere verbal
declarations of the buyer and
seller, made before the local re
gistrar, being sufficient to pass an
estate. The privacy of the regis
ters is strictly guarded in most OF
the German States--only persons
having an interest in the land be-
ing allowed to inspect the regis
tiers.
Owing to the clearness and
security of all titles the trouble
and responsibility incurred by
the lawyer on sales and mortgages
is very trifling and costs little. An
eminent advocate in Vienna states
that 81 is a very usual fee for a
purchasers lawyer; fl0 is high
fee, even in large matters and with
wealthy clients. One of the Judges
in Vienna spoke somewhat com
plainingly of a lawyers bill of Sc
Us Cd, which he had had 70 pay
on purchase of .EIl76 value. The
system of registration of title has
prevailed in some districts espe-
cially in the older provinces of
Austria-from the middle ages,
but in others its introduction is of
later, or even of quite recent date.
In some parts - the Rhine pro-
vinces, for Instance 49, it is still in
course of introduction. In the
Tyrol it is about to he introduced.
1t has been compulsorily ap-
piled to the new districts from
time to time by Ministerial orders,
under powers conferred for the
purpose by general laws. The
system is administered locally, in
districts about the same size as
American County Court Registries.
No place is more than ten or IF
teen miles from it's local land
registry. In Baden and Wurtem.
berg every commune has its own
registry. Where the estates run
into several districts they can he

ABATE THE NUISANCE.

While the Government cannot
do all the street widening and
opening authorized by the Legis-
lature at once, there are some
dangerous places in the plan of
projected improvements that might
be amended without awaiting the
permanent work. There is reg
ular death trap in that curious
labyrinth comprising Union street
and Adams and Garden lanes. 1t
is multiple effect trap indeed,
for there are several places in it
where, to avoid the imputation Of
being intended for the peril OF life
and limb, red flags should fly 10y
day and red lamps flare at night.
Danger signals would, however,
scarcely reduce the danger so
long as carriages use those thor
oughfarss, but they might save the
Government certain degree of
responsibility on account OF
accidents that present condi-
tons favor. The ingenuity of
the early generations of property
owners in fabricatiug the rights
of way forming those ramshorn
routes is likely to continue as
wonder for handing down to
posterity. Widening the ways
will, 80 far as artistic appearances
go, only make the picturesqueness
of their sinuosities and acute
angles and abruptly broken vistas
more conspicuous and easier of
comprehension. 1t will greatly
reduce the danger Of collision,
however, and that is the utilita
riau end in view. There are con
tributing causes of danger in the
labyrinth in question, how
ever, which amount to a common
nuisance and should be abated
without awaiting the permanent
improvements. Such are the
high and close board fences that
shut OF the lookout from carriages
when approaching the sharp
turns, and to this cause is mainly
due a long record of collisions,
smashUps and narrow escapes in
the labyrinth. These distractions
to the view ought to be officially
denounced as common nuisances,
to be abatsd simply by having
the hoardings cut down low
enough to permit driver to see
over the corners, that no eye will
ever be able to see around without
the aid of refracting mirrors.
While on this subject,
attention may be recalled to an
other danger point, to which this
paper has referred time and again.
That is the protrusion of large
building upon the line of Punch
bowl, ct Reretsnia street. This is
very dangerous spot and has its
disaster record as such. To
amend the condition only requires
the moving back of the house a
few feet. Damages for this pur-
pose ought to have been arbitrat-
ed long ago and the work put
through. With the improvement
of the lot opposite, just added to
the Queens Hospital grounds,
this little bit of street widening
becomes highly desirable even for
the sake of appearances.

THE BEARDED LADY.

Many stories have bsen written about
Sherwood forest, and of Robin Hood,
who was buried beneath the old yews
that for centuries had withstood the
storms of heaven, and whose gnarld
and knotted trunks were not inapt illus
trations of the life of him who was laid
beneath their shade But little has BEEN
mentioned about Doqothea Langton, "the
bearded lady.''
This extraordinary woman was discov-
en:d i'm a cavern in the forest OF Sher-
wood, England, about the year 1873 and
80 stralage was her appearance that no
one could imagine that she was any
thing but ain old man. When found she
had long silvery beard which dtscend
ed to her chest. She stated that she had
resided in this cuti1us retreat for thirty
seven y;ars, being induced to take to the
life of an ascetic by having been crossed
in love.
Dorothea was the only daughter of
grocer in London, and was in her youth
accounted a MOST handsome woman;
as, indeed, her features even then cor
relocated. She said that it was not until
she had been in the cavern for seven
years that her face became disfigured by
the singular phenomenon of a beard, but
us growth was very rapid, so that in
four moas years it had reached Its full
length. During all iIhese years she had
remained in her lonely retreat she had
no communication with any human be-
ing; and had never vfntured farther than
about half mile from the cavern, living
chiefly upon wild berries and the water
from a spring. The cavern was most
curiously constructed, and the entrance
DO 1T was under am immense oak tree, and
was SO small that 1t seemed scarcely
possible that "a human being could crawl
Through it. The place she occupied CON-
sisted of but one apartment, which was
hardly lofty enough to allow her to
stand upright, and possessing not a
single article of furniture. Her bed was
formed of leaves, and she had few
books of a religious nature.
When first discovered it was with great
difficulty that she could be made to UNI
derstand when spoksm to, as she had al
most forgotten the use of speech; but
after a time 1t returned to her, when she
begged earnestly that they would allow
her to die in her miserable abode. To
these requests, however, they would not
listen, but conveyed her to London,
where, the wonderful circumstances of
her mode of living being made known,
she excited universal curiosity. Doro-
thsa's uncle, very old man, who for a.
number of years past had retired upon
a competent fortune, hearing the name
mentioned so often. resolved to travel to
London to ascertain whether 1T was his
niece. Upon arriving there Dorothea
quickly recognized the venerable old man
and consented to go home with him;
but she had MOI been at his house for
more than two days when she was at
tackled by fever and shortly aftelward
died.
Her uncle did not long survive her, as
they were both placed together in one
grave on the same day.

WHEELING, Aug. IA small army
of Ohio striking miners from Wheeling
Creek, on the Cleveland, Lorain and
Wheeling road, numbering 12s, have
visited the BOggs Run mines The
Boggs Run men got wind of the inva-
sion, and only six or eight arrived TO GO
TO work. These were taken in hand b..
the visitors and persuaded to sign
paper to stay out. Later tine other
Boggs Run men were seen and agreed
to join the strike. This makes the suS-
PENSION practically complete in the
Wheeling district railroad mines
The strikers proceeded up town to
the Belmont and Riverside mill mines
and made a demonstration there. a
committee representing the strikers and
one representing the mill miners met,
aud it was decided that the question of
these men joining the strike would be
decided by President Ratchford. If
this conrse is pursued it will throw
thousands out of employment. The
action of the Bellaire eddling banks
in shutting down may be rescinded, as
lhe Ohio strike leaders are not in favor
Df shutting down the mill banks.
The Wegee miners have decided TO
join the strike. This mine and the
