sble-ths invention OF Mr.. E. s. Nor
ris-a method which 10 as simple as 1t
is effective. Surprising that he wishes
to apply the invention to lifeboat
which is already fitted with water
tight compartments, he would fill
those spaces with an indefinite num-
Der Of closed tubes, each only q few
inches long, made Of some strong i'm
pervious material such as waterproof
paper. Butts boat with such ompart-
ments il not necessary, for the little
cases can be held in a canvas band
which can be nailed along the sides
Of any ordinary rowboat, and render
it quite unsuitable. The principle
can also be applied to life belts and
buoys-replacing the cork ordinarily
used, with a great saving Of expense.
In the trials referred to, specially
designed Doat, with canvas-held tubes
along her sides as well as fore and aft,
righted herself after being purposely
capsized, although fitted with mast
and sail; while an ordinary boat SINH
larly treated failed to sink, although
the bung was removed to fill her with
water, and seven men were aboard.

eight chances in a hundred of a rich

absolutely cured. Almost all forms
of phys weakness can be traced 10

A Knotty Problem.

knotty problem. Pups get into hab,.
of growing and. unreasonable as it is,
you can't talk them out OF 1t. The best
thing we can think Of at this time is a
can of em5almed beef. If that don't do
the work nothing will. The beet is per-
fectly good-the army board has decided
that After eating it, however, the pup
should not take any violent exercise, for
the beef has been known to explode. Be
careful, TOO. that it does not spoil the
pups disposition. People have been
known 70 grow abusive and malicious
after eating it. If a pup loaded up with
embalmed beef won't stop growing there
is no hope Tor him.-Denver News.
