invention differs from all other de-
vices which provide for the lowering
of boats by means of davits, in that
all operations are conducted from the
boat itself while all prior apparatus
has been operated from the ship.
Thus all persons on the ship who in
tend to become inmates of the boat, can
get aboard before 1t is lowered, whereas
with the present means, II Is necessary
to have several men on shipboard to
operate the dayits. Such persons are
forced to jump into the boat after 1t is
lowered.
In the operation of the device both
davits move TO the left 10 such posi-
ton that the end OF the life-boat Is
clear of the right hand davit as one
looks outward. The left davit stops at
this point. but the right continues to
move to a position so that the right
end of the life-boat is passed outward
and beyond the right hand davit.
Now the left davit again moves, the
right davit continuing also to move,
and both davits reach position so
that the Iife-boat is swung between the
davits and outboard, the davits he-
ing in this position at an acute angle
to the side of the vessel. Inc rlsut
davit stops at this point and the left
continues to move to a position paral-
lei with the right. and both davits
move in unison and come to a rest in
the outward position or at right angles
to the side of the vessel.
These movements of the daNits re-
lieve the tackles of strain and carry

preventing any jamming of the boat
against either dayit. After reaching
| this position. the person in the boat
| who is lowering away continues to pull
the chain and the little craft sinks to
the water as rapidly or slowly as may
| be desired.

IL possible for the boat to be lowered

down as rapidly as desirable. so as to

II is possible that before long some

THEY FIND
QUEER FACTS
ABOUT MILK.

DIR. s. NJ. Babcock and Prof. w. l..
Russell of the agricultural experiment
station of the University of Wisconsin,
are making an unusually interesting
series of experiments with milk. Their
purpose is TO discover whether there are
present in the milk of various animals
certain chemical ferments which have
the power of digesting the case in which
is the important substance in milk as
food.
The possible value of these investi-
cations is easy to see. They may lead
to the most important conclusions re-
garding the feeding of children. For
instance, the two scientists mentioned
have practically demonstrated that
cows milk contains certain substances
hitherto unsuspected. which makes its
digestion by the human stomach easier.
This leads at once TO the question,
whether the amount OF these SUD-
starces varies at different times AS
they are evidently a provision OF nature
TO assist the nutrition of the young, IL
may be that they are more Literally
supplied Immediately after the birth of
young. 1t may be that they are pres
ent in larger quantities In the milk OIL
animals that have not been bred es-
pecially for milk production. III may pc
also. that the processes now extensive
~ used by the so-called sterilization
nature has supplied for the facilitatior
OF digestion.
Ii has been supposed that certain
changes which take place in milk ant
cheese are due to bacteria. but Profes'
sors Babcock and Russell have showr
that these changes are partly due, a
least. to the presence of hitherto un'
| known chemical ferments
II was the phenomenon of the ''ripen
| ing OF cheese which first turned th'
attention OF The experimenters TO thi'
work They have been advancing stead

As has been said. he was getting

entered his veins. and so he started
for the new Ei Dorado. His trip TO
Seattle involved nothing unusual but
there his adventures began. lie was
passenger on the ill-fated steamer Eliza
Anderson. That In itself was the cause
of enough excitement to satisfy an or
binary man. 1t is probable that the
Anderson expedition breaks all ocean
records. Never was a vessel so alb
surdly outfitted for the voyage. Column
bus in his little high-heeled shoe of
vessel had a hundred chances In his
favor for every one that Bowers and
his mates had in the Anderson. She
was a little old river schooner, and the
fact that she carried her crew and pas
sengers 10 Dutch harbor in the Aleutian
island, is a miracle of the sea. Her voy-
age was a nine days wonder and need
not here be retold.
From Dutch Harbor DR.. Bowers and
his fellow passengers proceeded TO St
Michael on the Alaska coast in n little
schooner, the Anderson being unable to
go further. There were so many peo-
ple on this vessel that they couldn't all
sit down at one time. They had to take

laborer IL appears that he cannot 90
that, and he is no longer a merchant.
So 1t looked as If his little visit home
vas spoiled. But when the question be
gan TO be considered by his friends in
the Fifth avenue Sunday school, an
alarming phase of the situation was
discovered. Not only would he be pro-
hibited from returning from China IL
he went there. but 1t seemed probable
that he could neither go nor stay; that
he has no legal status in this country
at all. He was a Chinese laborer with
out certificate and the treaty with
his native country afforded him no pro-
lection.
When this percolated through the
Fifth avenue Sunday school-where the
oriental gentleman is very popular
there was great sorrow, and the case
was Immediately laid before the treas
ury department at Washington. Sol1cl-
tor OConnell was asked to look up the
law. and he has just made his report
1t will carry some comfort to the Fifth
avenue Sunday school If not to the
Chnaman himself. Mr.. OConnell finds
that in similar cases the courts have
tempered law with a merciful interpre-
tation. The Chinaman in question Will
probably not be disturbed in his resi-
dence here. 1t was an impossibility for
him to get a certificate and therefore he
will not be required to have one; but
he can't go back to China on a visit. If
he goes, he must stay. He is laborer
now, though unregistered. and is SUBJ
ject to the law. The question is whether
his longing for a sight of the Celestial
empire or his love for his teacher and
associates in the Fifth avenue Sunday
school will carry the day. He must
choose between them.

the ice closed in around them and their
voyage was al an end.
Nearly all of them wanted TO go
home in any way possible. They We're
hundreds of miles from Dawson, and
the way looked longer than ever. The
love of gold had died in most of them,
but not i'm DIR. Bowers.
With others of the party. he made his
way 50 miles overland to st. Michael's;
and there most of those who could, Sc
cured passage back to the states but
not Bowers. He found his little Klon-
dyke right there, and he proceeded to
work It. Though he had lost most of
his outfit, he had stuck to his medical
supplies with deathlike tenacity His
kit of medicines had been carefully
prepared, and IL contained remedies in
the most condensed form. He had.
among other things, great quantity
of quinine, and il was much in demand.
So Dr. Bowers stuck up his shingle in
the frozen north, 1,S00 miles from the
kiondyke, and behold, the gold or tnat
fabulous region flowed in upon him like
a river. He sold quinine pills at a dol
lar a grain, whiskey by the teaspoon
full, and other drugs in proportion. In
his last letter to his brother, DIR. w. H.
Bowers of Hot Springs, he said that he
had made a part of the way to the
Klondyke himself and the Klondyke
had come the rest of the distance to
him. Gold was everywhere. He did not
mind being unable to locate Klondyke

This is the story of a man who started
for the Klondyke and found what he
was looking for before he got within
1.5eo miles of Dawson City. As Virgil
remarked of Aeneas. "he was much

fact, this Klondyker's experiences would
make those of the fugitive Trojan seem
like a summer days trip to Coney ISL

the early part of last summer. He had
all kinds of hard luck; fate was abso-

him; and yet his pluck and foresight
and skill pulled him out of all difficult

The higher the gold reserve goes the
