An Automatic Life Boat.

On the Great Lakes, according TO
the New York Press. has appeared a
new style of lifeboat. invented by Cap
tatin Mayo OF tile Ife-saving service.
He has tested il himself and believes
il to be a success.
The newly devised boat is cone
rounded at both ends 1t is intended to
be thirty feet long and seven feet in
diameter. II is perfectly round. there
being projecting hns. or bilge keeis,
to keep II from rolling. The shell is
built of three-inch oak. covered with
aluminium. or sheet steel, as the build
er desires. and is shapeI on strong
oak ribs on the inside. The forward
and after end of the boat are air cham
bers. built in such a way that crush
ing or puncturing are practically i'm
possible Around the shell are OPEN
ings filed with heavy plate glass, set
in rubber and steel gaskets.
On two sides are manholes set in
the same kind of gaskets, and on each
side two portfolios large enough to
push an oar through. The ports are
closed with heavy doors of steel and
every opening is cIosed and locked
from the inside. The only unprotected
openings are at the ends OF the cone.
The forward one is a manhole large
enough for a man TO move about in
easily. and at the other end is an open
ing designed for the lowering of an
anchor Inside there are accommoda-
tions for fifty people and lockers large
enough to stow Jhe food necessary for
their sustenance for thirty DAYS; also
water tanks with a supply of drinking
water sufficient TO last for that time.
The seats are so arranged that they
revolve completely around, no matter
how often the boat turns over. and the
passenger is always kept upright. The
interior is fitted with two aluminium
bulkheads. which swing about with the
motion of the seats inside the boat,
always keeping the ventilators safe
distance above the water. To avoid
the danger of filling, the ends of the
boat are fitted wl,h water vents, and
as the whole boat. loaded. draws less
than four inches there is enough of it
always exposed to the influence of the
wind to allow of its being driven
ashore. A device for locking the swing
ing seats in position keeps them Sc
cure and allows rowing when rowing
is practicable.

Shaft Sounded Rotten.

Il see that the big liner st. Paul
lost one of her propellers through the
shaft swapping of during The last trip
across said a former sea captain
now in business here.
Il remember. before qult the sea"
continued the ex-captain. =, was once
first officer of fine cargo tramp from
Liverpool Our chief engineer was an
old Welshman named Dawes, He was
a rough old fellow. with mighty little
of what you might call book education.
but if ever there was a natural born
genius he was the man. Engineering
seemed to be kind of instinct with
him. and when there, was any trouble
with the machinery he cou.~ put his
finger on the exact spot. where another
man might be puttering around for a
day
At the time l have in mind we had
cleared from our home port with a
mixed cargo for Rio, and on the sec
ond day out old Dawes all of sudden
stopped the engines 1t was my watch
and went below to find out what was
up. There's something wrong with
that propeller shaft. said he. and he
took lantern and started TO go over
il inch by inch. inside of an hour he
found two holes that had Been bored
in il about midway down. where the
strain was greatest, and nicely filed
up with soap and plumpago. II was
evidently the work of an assistant en-
gineer. who had a row and Quit at
Liverpool. Any big shock would have
been certain To break the shaft in two.
but, as Providence had willed it, we
had smooth weather up 10 that time.
Dawes riveted a steel collar around
the weak spot and we made Rio with
out accident under about three-fourths
speed
Il often asked him sIterward how
he came TO suspect anything was
wrong, and all he could tell me was
that the shaft sounded rotten
suppose there was some false note in
the vibration: either that or it was
the biggest piece OF luck on record. -

from the heat OF the summer at Wash

and the necessity for guarding against

caused some anxiety. The complaint
from which Mrs. Mckinley suffered in

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Two Proposed syst~ms-The Decimal
and the DuOdecfmal Substitute the
Metric system.

Two Proposed systcms-The Decimal
and the Duode cfmal Substitute the
Metric system.
In view cf the recent favorable re-
port of the house committee in charge
Of the bill to officially substitute the
metric system OF weights and meas
ures, It may be interesting to call to
mind the very serious objections
which have been urged against the
general adoption Of the former. They
are based on the fact that there Is a
much more perfect system within al
most an easy reach-a system which
has stood the test of time, and which
has largely persisted in France and
Germany for the practical daily bust
ness needs of the people, despite the
legislation requiring the use of the So
called decimal system. This Is the duo
decimal system, which makes twelve
instead of ten It's basis. The great adj
vantage claimed for twelve Is its divis-
Utility by two, three, four and six,
whereas ten can only be divided exact
ly by two. This repeated division ana
subdivision into aliquot parts has
been shown by Mr.. Spencer to be per-
sisted in, and. in fact, essential to the
conduct OF the small retail trade. the
world over; that Is, In weights ana
measures and in money matters.
Although we have practically adopt
ed the decimal notation in our none
tary system, halves and quarters are
very largely used, and stock exchange
quotation are given in halves, quarters,
eighths, etc. The scheme Of the duo
decimalists is to add two new digits In
In place of ten and eleven, so that ten
would represent our present twelve.
and then to use twelve In duodecimal
system exactly as ten Is used In the
present metric system. One hundred
would be equivalent to our present ia.

How Annuities Were Registered I'm
the Eighteenth Century-An Odd
Wedding.
Some curious relics of the eighteenth
century have just been discovered in a
secluded corner OF Martins Bank in
Lombard street.
A wooden box, which has lain there
time out OF mind, was moved to make
way for other things, and in 1t were
found several bundles OF dry, worm
eaten wooden sticks, which had been
there since 1853 They were exchequer
annuity tally-sticks.
Each stick Is little over foot long,
and has a string tied around 1t. The
string, even the sticks themselves, had
partially succumbed to the ravages or
time, and the figures written upon them
In ink in the dawn OF the eighteenth
century were as legible as though they
were written yestef day. The dates
range from 1705 to 1712. There was
good ink in the reign of Queen Anne.
One Of the tally-sticks bears ths
name Moreau. and stood for an annuity
Of ETA. There were notches upon them.
large and small, to denote various sums
Of money.
"when you lent money to the gov
eminent In those days." said one OF the
officials In Martins Bank, while show
ing the sticks, "the particulars were put
down on two parts OF stick. The Elk
chequer kept one part and you kept the
other" They were all ninety-two year
annuities.
1.-THE last time our people touched
them was evidently about 1883. for the
box, as you see. is lined with copy or
the whitechapel Evening Post OF Feb
ruary in that year.
"The total amount represented by the
whole boxful is 9340. I was In hopes
we might be able to claim some money
from the Exchequer with them. but the
money part of the matter was AL over
many years ago."-London Daily Mail.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Two Killed, One Fatally AID One
Seriously Wounded.


Houston. Tex. June g. - A shooting
ARRAY occurred here yesterday In
which Thomas Payne and L. q Echols
were killed, j. b. Perkins was fatally
and Deve Echols badly wounded.
Payne's son was on trial and the two
Echols had been summoned as Wit
nesses. The men met down town and
after a few words the shooting began.
Perkins was a brother-in-law OF Payne,
and he ard L. G.. Echols fired at about
the same time. Echols' bullet struck
Payne, and at about the same instant
Perkins shot and killed Echolsi Dave
Echols ope ned fire on Perkins and on
young Payne. Two bullets strufk Per-
kins and a wound in the groin Will
probably prove fatal. Perkins wounded
Dave Echols In the arm and amputa-
ton will be necessary. The younger
Payne was not hurt. The street was
crowded at the time OF the shooting
but no one save those directly involved
were hurt. Every bullet fired struck
the mark with the exception OF one

washington, June 9-The Cuban sit
nation was again discussed at the cab
met meeting yesterday. Secretary
Root presented several kilograms from
Gov. Gen. Wood conveying the informa-
ton that the purport. Of Secretary
Roots letter regarding the Platt
amendment had been communicated to
several members Of the Cuban conven-
lion without waiting for the transla-
lion and formal presentation.
Gen. Wood said the Cubans were dis
appointed over the refusal Of this gov
eminent to accept their Interpretation
Of the Plat amendment, but they be-
Ieved the convention would, by a
close vote, be able to comply with the
conditions and pass the Plat amend
ment as adopted by congress. Secre-
tary Root is much annoyed by the mis-
representation of his position by the
Cuban commission and the claim that
he
Make the Interpretations
Of the Platt amendment which they
embodied in their constitution. 1t is
stated with positiveness that the Gu
bars never received any such interpre-
tatons from responsible officials in
Washington, and it Is reported from
Havana that the Cubans will now try
10 throw the responsibility upon Gov.
Gen. Wood and make it appear that ne
consented TO their form of the amend
mtzt. The purpose of such a move is
clear TO the administration 1t is simply
another effort to compel the president
10
governor general who will be more con-
riliatory 10 the Cuban constitutionmak-
trs. This effort will fail.
There can be no further efforts at
cancellation and explanation. The Gu
ban conventic! must adopt the Plat
amendment just as it stands to secure
any recognition for their constitution
In Washington.
