was secured, with an appropriation of
$4,000. In the next congress an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000 was
made, as the result of DR.. Newell's eff
forts, and the experiments were ex-
tended to other points on the Atlantic
coast and the Gulf of Mexico.
In 1857-59 DR.. Newell was governor
OF New Jersey; and in 1861 he was ap-
pointed by President Lincoln as super
intendent of the New Jersey coast life
saving service. Returning to congress
IN 1865, he was enabled, from his four
years experience in the work. to great
~ advance the usefulness of the sys-
TEN. In 1856 he proposed extensions
OF the service, and successfully advo-
Gated appropriations OF $4,000.
Today the government appropriates
for this purpose more than $1,5OOO0O

cue stations, manned by 1000 brave
and skilled wreckers and life-savers
1t is said that this feature of our gov
ernmental system, which is under the
direction of the treasury department
at Washington, has no counterpart in
any other country. 1t is estimated that
225.00O lives have been saved by the
methods which DR.. Newell originated
and in great part perfected, half CEN
tury ago.

Novel Mouse Tran.

A newspaper describes the loss of
valuable ring and it's very peculiar dis
covery. 1t had found useful place in
the world by serving as mousetrap. A
lady suddenly discovered that she had
lost diamond ring from her finger;
and remembering that she had Just
washed her hands, she thought it pos
sible that it had slipped from her fin
ger in the operation. A plumber was
called in and all the traps opened, with
the hope Of finding the jewel, but with
out avail. Some time later the set bowl
in the bath room had to be replaced,
and when it was opened the skeleton
of a mouse was found crowded in be-
hind the water pipes; and around it's
neck hung diamond ring. The mouse
had toasted on a box of bran, which
the lady used to whiten her hands, and
into which she had dropped the ring.
BY accident the mouse had slipped it's
head through the ring, and then fed
in alarm. In passing between the
pipes the ring was caught and held its
wearer.-Youth's Companion.

WHERE THE DAY BEGINS.
The International Date Line, as Recor-
nlzed by Our Navy.

nlZe0 ny Our Navy.
What is known as the International
Date Line, where the day changes, as
vessels sail across the Pacific, lies
along the meridian 1870 degrees west of
Greenwich, but does not follow it ex-
actly. 1t deviates slightly to the east
and again to the west at various points
in order to include certain islands into
the area in which the American date is
kept and vice versa, to include other
islands in the area in which the Asiatic
date is kept When this line is crossed
going west shippers gain a day; when
they cross it going east they lose one.
The United States navy recognizes the
line as beginning at point north o.
Siberia, southeast to Boring Strait,
through which it passes midway, leav-
ing the st. Lawrence island on the
American side, and, turning, passes in
southwesterly direction, crossing the
1SOth meridian at about latitude go de-
grees north, to point Just to west
ward of the Near Islands, so that all of
the Aleutian Islands may be on the
American side, thence in a southeast
erly direction back to the 1S0th meri-
dian at latitude of about 4S degrees
north, thence along the 180th meridian
to point 5 degrees south latitude,
thence in a direction about southeast
by south to a point midway between
the Fiji and Samoan Islands, the
Friendly Islands being on the Asiatc
side; thence about south by west to the
vicinity Of Chatham, leaving it on the
Asiatic side; thence in Southwestern
ly direction back to the 180th meridian,
where it remains.

The news that the place was haunted

a GREA L
BENEFIT

The FOUNDER of the United States
e-Saving Service, Dr. William A.
Newell, is still living at the ripe age
of SO and practicing his profession of
medicine at Allentown, N. j. DR.. New
ellis thoughts were first directed to the
question of life saving by his Witness
ing the wreck of vessel at Long
Branch, N. j., in which thirteen lives
were lost. This was in 1889. In 1886
DR.. Newell entered congress and there
began his agitation for some method by
which navigation along certain por-
tion of the New Jersey coast might be
rendered less dangerous. Among those
whom he interested as supporters Of
his views were Abraham Lincoln and
John Quincy Adams. When the light
house bill of the senate came before
the house for consideration, DIR. New
ell offered second resolution, provid-
ing for surf-boats, rockets, carronades
and other necessary apparatus for the
better preservation of life and prop
erty from shipwreck along the New
Jersey coast. An appropriation of
$4,000 was asked. This resolution in
the form of an amendment to the light
house bill was unanimously adopted.

European monarchs. While not III
In name, Luitpold is such in fact, "
forming the duties of sovereign as re1se
gent for his insane nephew, Kilg
Otto. Additional Importance attach s
to his person just now, from the fact
that the King is very Ill and cannot
survive another month, according toy
his doctors. When he dies Luitpold
will be actually King Of Bavaria and
while his responsibilities will be in no
wise enlarged it will give him a more
equal standing among the royal heads
of Europe. With the exception of
Christian, of Denmark, he will be, il
he becomes King, the Oldest ruler in
Europe
LuitpoId is one of the remarkable
men of the old world and is said to be
the most popular prince IN Germany.
He is the one sturdy figure of royal
family who stands forth conspicuously
ana nonoTably In contrast with IT'S
other weaklings and incompetents.
His father was Louis T., who forfeited
his throne because he could not resist
the Establishments of Lola Montez, the,
American beauty, and whose neglect OF
his royal duties, while spending his
time with this adventures, brought
about revolution in 1S4S. Luitpold
then was entrusted with executive du-
ties. When Macmillan, Luitpold's
eldest brother, came to the throne, the
younger mans was the guiding hand
of his reign. Upon Maximilian's death
and the assumption of power by Louis
L., Luitpold was for a time in the back
ground, but the Kings insane desire
for pleasure and his general mental
incompetence ultimately necessitatel

PIGS az Life-Savers,

Life-savers are not confined by any
means to the ranks of the human fam
lily. There are many instances of dogs
rescuing people and horses and some
others of the higher orders of animals
have been credited with saving lives.
A recent incident in the far east places
pigs in this noble role. The Australian
coasting steamer Kameruka, whsle go
ing from Eden to Sydney, travelling at
full speed, struck on a reef at Moruya
Head. There being no rockets on the
ship, the captain tied life line to
some pigs, which formed part Of the
cargo, and had the animals put over
board. The pigs swan to the shore
taking the line with them, and by es-
tablishing communication every soul
on board was rescued.
