At this time OF year farmers are

Mattresses are strung Together TO Pro-
tect Ocean beaches.
AZ many OF the fayorlte seaside sum
mor resorts In this country the beaches
are from time TO time rayaged by wild
storms. and hitherto no adequate
method Of protecting them against
such onslaughts has been discovered.
As result the cottagers may awake
any morning and find that the pleasant
strand on which they strolled during
the previous evening has, during tho
night, been eaten away by the hungry
waves. Now. however, an ingenious
inventor has devised a method for tho
protection OF such beaches. n method
which. he is confident. will prove eff
fectiye. II consists OF number OF
mattresses, which are formed OF hbrous
material and which are held together
by means OF warps and bars. The mat
tressca, thus connected, are laid on the
beach. the warps and bars being placed
in such n manner that the long, fib-
rous covering Is kept stlii and immov-
able. As a further safeguard, however.
stronger faatenlngs are placed here
and there. and by means OF these the
mattresses are anchored firmly to the
beach. The mattresses are arranged
lcngthwiso in the direction OF tho tur-
rent, and the warps and bars are ar
ranged dlagonally. The object Is 70
break the force ottho waves and pre-
vent them from wreaklng their full
fury on the beach. Experiments, II 10
said. prove that n protection OF this
kind Is useful for such a purpose.

Wissig, with three companions, was in
