How to save Leaking sbips.

From the American Machinist: On
the occasion of a ship springing a leak
her pumps are set to work to get the
water out as fast as 1t comes in. In.
stead of this 1t Is suggested that ait
pumps he used to force air into the
leaky compartment, and thus force the
water back through the hole where 1t
entered. There is. it is remarked,
means OF eSpelling water from the
filled compartments so obvious as to
render 1t a matter OF wonder that en-
gineering skill has not put forward the
plan, simply to close the matches OF
the flooded compartments and drive
the water out by forcing the air in.
nor would 1t make the slightest differ
ence how large the holes might be in
the bottom. as the water would be ex-
PEELED and kept out on the same prin-
ciple as the old-fashioned diving bell.

a short time he realized that the small
knowledge he had acquired at the
schools was totally inadequate to per-
nit him to solve the least OF life
problems. His egotism died away as
frost melts before the sun. His atti-
tude OF mind became finely humble.
and he learned from his beautiful pat
ron the lesson which her whole life
tnught, that In service Is the only sat
isfactory living.
But along with the happiness that
arose from true knowledge like this
was a terrible sorrow. He discovered.
to his unqualified dismay. that he loved
Edith Vaille. II was no whimsical In
fatuation. no light. adoring admira-
tion that could be put aside for other
thoughts. He realized that he was
destined to worship this woman to the
last day Of In life. That his love was
absurd. impertinent. impossible. he
did not doubt. There was not a grain
OF hope In his passion. He resigned
himself to his misfortune and gd
what comfort he could from the reiicc-
ton that II was n noble love and for n
woman OF incompatible qualities.
He was quite sure that his manner
betrayed nothing-ho would never per-
NIT himself even TO be distant or con-
ycntionai In his demcanor. He aimed
to keep the cordial and respectful atti-
;udc of n trusted assistant and friend.
II sometimes his face flushed when her
pcrfumed garments brushed him in
passing: II he sometimes picked up
tho flowers tina, fell from her corsasc:
II. when she came to dinner. glowing
In her laces and Jewels. his eyes be-
traycd IN uncomfortable admiration.
he prayed that she did not see II.
But as time went ON his pain became
almost unsuppnr;abic. His nights were
nearly slecplcSs. Hc had to force the
food over his lips. There were half
Insane moments when he thought h.
should fall at her feet and confess with
anguish his folly. He began to debate
the proprioty OF leaving. but he was
held to his place by two considerations.

Victoria No, No wealthy.

l. has been stated that Queen Vic
toria has accumulated n fortune of
over 800, 100000. The actual amount
OF the queens savings is known to n
few people. One Of these is Henry
Labouohere. the radical, who came by
his information officially as member of
n special committee OF the House OF
Commons about eight years since.
Subsequently Mr.. Labouchere wrote:
"Thc impression prevails that the
queen has effected large savings, but
that is not the case. AS the sum total
OF the queens investments was given
to the committee under n pledge of
secrecy, I cannot violate this pledge.
but do not thinks1 am breaking faith

declares that II man Ii healthy he
