A GOOD TEST.

The first practical test was made on Tuesday
night of n new life saving net Of which The
Tribune printed IL description several months
ago. and there would seem TO he no doubt that
the device demonstrated It's utility. or the
dozen or more persons who jumped into the net
from the windows of the burning apartment
house two are said to have been somewhat
seriously injured, but the others escaped with
out a scratch. whereas ii is not improbable that
most of them would have lost their lives If they
had been dependent the usual means of
rescue OF course, there is nothing novel in the
principle thus happily employed, hut heretofore
the nets occa siOnally carried by the fremen as
part of their apparatus have been scarcely more
trustworthy than blanket held by the corners.
They have answered the purpose moderately
well in case of short fall. but it has been found
impossible to hold them securely beneath per-
son dropping from considerable height The
distinguishing feature of the new device is the
springs by which the net is attached to IT'S cir
cular framework and which take up the impact
of the falling body thus enabling the fremen TO
keep their grip on the handles and at the same
time greatly diminishing the shock of intercep-
ton both TO the catchers and the caught.
The invention may be capable of improve
ment and do not know that it would be
judicous TO buy large number of these nets at
present TO acquire the owners rights. Some
one whom our representative understood to he
financially interested in it was silly enough to
think that tip might secure an extra favor
able notice in The Tribune after the examina-
ton to which we have referred. This circum-
stance does not commend him to our goodwill,
but 1t shall not prevent us from saying that the
net seems to embody a sound principle and to
be worth perfecting If it is not yet entirely
satisfactory. The Fire Department of New
York has n record filed with acts of splendid
heroism, which have resulted in the saving of
many lives under conditions apparently hope
less; but IL the risks which the fremen are
always ready to encounter can be lessened and
their material resources increased by the gen
eral adoption of new device there ought TO be
no unnecessary delay in ascertaining the fact
and turning the opportunity TO account.

Sheriff Pearson, OF Portland. Me, has given the
name OF "sandpeeps' to the tiny TASKS holding
two ounces OF whiskey that common in
Maine. because they like the little birds in be-
ing about all stomach and head. "sandpeep,"
when ready for the market. contains what is
rated drink OF whiskey usually OF very
poor. quality, and II retails bottle and ALL at Is
cents. II is easily handled in the public streets
without detection. In saloons the whiskey
traffic is carried almost entirely by the aid OF
these little pocket TASKS thus doing away with
the of glasses. and mourning less risk OF
ure. the source OF supply being at safe distance
from the saloon. Tho liquor deputies few days
ago applied to the court for n warrant to search
the person of man who they had reason to be
lieve pursuing the avocaton of a pocket ped

peeps" all filled with a cheap grade OF whiskey

MANY RETIRING M. P.'S.
Several Scottish Members of PaElia-
ment VIII Not Return 10
Their Seats.

Scotland will send more new faces to
parliament when Lord Salisbury ad-
vises her majesty to issue her election
fiat than any other portion of the king
dom. says a London paper. Those two
eminent auth critics on matters of ma
rine, Sir Thomas Sutherland and Sir
Donald Currie, have signified their in
tenton to retire from public Office.
The latter has aged considerably of
late, but Sir Thomas is the same keen
eyed, healthy looking time-defying,
rubicund complexioned Caledonian
that he has been any time these &c
years past. The career of Sir Thomas
Sutherland is one of the romances of
the contemporary commercial world
From the representation of the p. and
o. in faraway Hong-Kong he has
worked his way up to the presidency
and supreme direction of one of the
biggest shipping businesses in the
world.
Another Scottish member who will
be missed in the next house is Sir Will
liam Wedderburn, the leader of the lit
tie band of earnest Indian reformers,
and a retired Indian official of many
years experience, whose knowledge of
all the problems connected with the ad-
ministration of our great Asiatic de-
pendency is quite cyclopacdic. Sir
Charles Cameron, who has for many
years been conspicuous figure in
Scottish science and journalism Sir
7. Gibson Carmichael, for whom five
years of the weary round at Westmin
ster have sufficed, and w. McEwan, the
Edinburgh brewer and benefactor, are
also going on the retired list.
