There are crauks of every descrip-
ton. and many of them come here to

marked the general superintendent of
the life-scrying service. (which. If

Recently man from Nov Jersey
scallen on General Superintendent
kimball. and asked permission to

Jacket for the purpose OF demon
fs;rating its many good features.
The permission was granted and
the visitor proceeded to put on
the jacket. which he claimed was the
only salvation of all shlpwreeked peo-
pie, says the Washington Times.
In the numerous pockets of the gar
ment he had slowed away whisky
flask. box containing meat tablets,
candle and matches. pipe and to-
aacco. revolver and number of cart
ridges. To protect himself against
sharks and other dangerous inha Bit
ants OF the waters. us he said. he GRID
ed on himself long. razor-edged ma
chete. He then inflated the air reser.
yoirs concealed between the outer and
inner cover of the jacket, which caused
MIN to assume the appearance of
huge rubber ball. After he had fin
ished these preparations he tied his
large red handkerchief to bamboo
fishing rod as signal of distress, and,
turning to General Kimball, said in a
self-satisfled manner:
Now. general, gamble 7 could live
and float in the ocean this way over
week and feel perfectly comfortable"
