quilt. Attachment with the household
electric system will give all the cur
rent that is needed.
In case the heat is excessive and
threatens to scorch the bather, there is
a fuse at one end of the quilt which in.
stantly melts at the danger point, and
the current is shut off automatically.
Physicians who have tested the new
thermogen believe it will be a great aid
to them in connection with the operat-
ing table. Inlong operations where arti-
fetal means are required to sustain the
patients temperature, instead of hot
blankets and hot water now in use, the
electric quilt will give a steady and even
temperature. 1t will also be used in
cases of chronic rheumatism. The in
ventor claims for his idea that the
household uses for it are without mum
Der.
The thermogen will be of the greatest
value to persons who have just taken
chill. Sometimes they do this at an
hour when it is impossible to obtain hot
water, and in any case the heating sys-
tenn of the quilt is said to be more bene-
fetal than water. A man comes home
tired and chilled, slips into the quilt
and, perhaps, a dangerous illness is
averted. It should be the means of saw
ing many lives.
After using the quilt it will be found
pleasant to take cold sponge bath
This can be taken with comfort after
the body has been generally heated by
the thermogen. There are many toe
delicate to stand immersion in cold wa.
ter, still the quilt, it is claimed, will be
of value to invalids.-N. Y. journal.

A STORY OF LIFE SAVING

Storm. l>
THE WRECK AND THE RESCUE.

Shooting a Life Line to the Vessel and
Hauling the Crew Ashore-Daneers and
Hardships of the Life Saving Service.
Heroes at $50 n Month.
1t is nearing 10 o'clock of midwin-
ter's night on the Jersey coast. The old
Atlantic is in oLla CT its worst moods.
For several days it has been dashed into
fury by a January storm which was
born far out among the Rocky noun
tains and swept across the country in a
shroud of rain and snow and sleet to
spend its wrath out at sea, where there
is none but sailor folk to heed. Back
like an echo across the ocean has come
an answering storm out of the east, for
eign born and vicious, and it is this
which is piling up the big waves that
thunder on the shore.
1t is not night to choose for ram
BILE along the sands. The roar of the
surf, which at close range sounds like
artillery practice, is carried many miles
inland, and it seems as if the wind is
determined to take SOME of the water
along with it, for the flying scud, snatch
ed from the tops of the rollers, sails
shoreward for hundreds of feet before it
alights.
Decidedly a Jersey beach is no place
for stroll on such a night. Yet if You
were there you might see by the light

AN ELECTRIC QUILT.
1t Enables MiIady to Take Turkish Bath
in the Parlor.

In the Parlor.
You can take a Turkish bath in the
parlor. With the electric quilt which
has been invented by Snedelkor, the
London electrician, and member of the
Royal society, you can not only save
yourself the expense of a bath ticket,
but you can battle amid all the COM
forts of home. All you have to do is
to wrap yourself up in a quilt, turn on
a stopcock and wait. And you do not
have to wait long, either. In 80 seconds
from the time the stopcock is turned,
you are sweltering in Il heat of $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit without steam, with
out visible sign of heat, and, better
than all, without Inconvenience to any
one else who may happen to be in the
room.
One of the peculiar sights that may
be seen in the parlor of a house where
the new electric quilt is kept is that of
a woman with thick Turkish quilt
around her. taking a Turkish bath,
with all the windows of the room open,
while persons standing within foot
of her are shivering from the chilly at
mosphere outside. The owner of the
quilt may also use it as an ordinary bed
covering.
The invention is called thesthermo-
gen, but it is a common quilt. all the
same. The only difference is. that, in
addition to the cotton, wool or elder
down of which it is made, there is also
a coil of wire. The coil is bent and
has many joints, SO that it will move
freely and in any direction like coat
of mail in olden times. 1t is embedded
in the soft body of the quilt, and through
it a current of electricity is permitted
to flow. tits this which produces the
heat, but the heat is moderated by the
layer of material that is between the
wearer and the coil wire. The heat is
distributed over the person who takes
the parlor Turkish bath with uniform
strength and from every part of the
