LONDON. Jan. 23.-One OF the most
recent projects for the relief OF suf-
fering and the protection of property
is TO build and run ocean steam life
boats. This is the plan Of u we'll
known English shlpbuilder and Is
known as the international Blue
Cross Ocean Life and Salvage Ser
vice" 1t is intended that 1t should
take the place at sea which the Red
Cross occupies in the army.
At present ship wrecked at sea de-
ponds on chance meeting for the res
cue of lives. The rescuing vessel Is
awarded by the admiralty courts a Ger.
tain part of the property saved, the
amount awarded being known as sal
wage. Under the BLUE Cross" plan
a certain number OF especially design
ed boats are to patrol the seas over
fixed and known routes. following the
main ocean highways. Should ship
be in distress. the captain by looking
at his schedule, could tell exactly
when n patrol boat would be due at
the nearest point. and plan according
ly with some idea to business, dis
patch, and the comfort of those on
board. Tho rate of salvage would be
fixed, and the officer would know ex
actly what the rescue would cost the
owners. The protector believes that
IL seamen knew that on given boat
one of the lifeboats would be within
sight Of certain fixed latitude and
longitude. many crippled ships and
their crews would be saved and ac
counted for. who. as things are now
have to abandon their ships. The
means Of providing this patrol service
should be furnished by the nations
served. in proportion to their ship
ping. All salvage would go to gov
ernment account and be credited Il
their service.

Bags are Handy Abou. the House.

The bag is very desirable conven.
ience to the average housekeeper.
This article in its differen varieties is
here described. One house has the
entire inside OF hall closet door lined
with shoe bag. Not little two
pocket affair, but one that reaches
from top TO bottom of the panels. In
this closet are all the rainy day para
phernalia OF the household.
A boot and shoe bag for any individ-
ual room would be smaller. and the
tootgear kept in it will collect less
dust and be more accessible than If
they must be hunted in the dark re-
cesses of the closet floor.
Flowered dinim or cotton cheviot
are good materials for piece bags.
A bag for soiled hankerchiefs. to be
hung beside the dressing table, is
made by taking first piece of past
board and cutting n round section
about ten inches in diameter. Cut
out from the center of this a hole
large enough to admit your hand.
This must next be covered with some
pretty material, and q bag made from
the same. The bag should be about
eighteen inches long, and its mouth
then sewed to the edges of the open
ing made in the stiff piece. 1t is
thus kept open. and the handkerchiefs
can be easily put In or extracted.
A bag with an open mouth should
be hung on the frame of the sewing
machine at the side. All threads and
scraps can then be dropped in while
machine sewing is being done.
Most useful is a pattern case.
though not strictly bag. Take a
strip of some heavy stuff-cretonne.
denim or chevot. Let it be a yard
long and twelve inches wide. At
equal distances on this strip place
tapes lengthwise. Three Of these
will be sufficient Tack them firmly
down to the material at the ends, and
at one end at the center Of the strip
fix two long tapes. left loose to tie
the case. Bind the case all round
with more tape, and insert the pat
terms by slipping them under the
lengthwise tape. When pattern Is
wanted 1t is easily found by unrolling
the case, when all the patterns lie
open to inspection.
No housewife should be without
broom bags. Heavy canton flannel Is
used for these. bag large enough
to easily admit the broom is made.
with the furry side of the flannel out.
About two inches from the end the
bag is stitched across. thus making a
loose, extra wiping surface across the
end of the broom. In the hem OF
the other ends runs draw-strtng.
On sweeping days the broom Is en-
cased in this bag, tied tight around
the handle. and the walls cleaned
much better than by any other broom
or brush. BY having several sup
piled to the maid there will be no ex-
cuse for dusty walls.

A VOLCANIC AND SEISMIC YEAR.


The year 1902 bids fair to be known
in the records of time as the volcanic
and earthquake year. and this conti.
nent has had its full share of the dis
turbances began last May, and from
that time to this there has not been a
month in which they have not been
active. In South America, Central
America, the islands of the Caribbean
sea, Guatemala, Mexico, and Alaska
there have been violent eruptions of
volcanoes, involving large loss of life
and widespread destruction of proper
ty, while many volcanoes. long sup
posed to be extinct. have made sym
pathetic efforts sufficiently threaten
ing to cause general alarm in their vi
cinity. The eruption of Mount Pelee
and Mount Souffrlere were the most
violent, burying the country for miles
around in ashes and destroying f5.600
lives. To these must be added 1925
more lost at other places. making
total of 52,225 victims of volcanic
fury.
Volvanic eruptions have been ac-
companied by seismic disturbances in
various parts of the world Upon this
continent Mexico and Guatemala have
been the chief sufferers, 1900 lives
having been lost in those two coun-
tries. Few disasters from this cause
have occurred in Europe. but Turltes-
tan, in Western Asia. has been shak-
en- up three times. In February,
5000 lives were lost at Shamatar. in
IN, ,t.Ats ntaat.
l 100 in the same region; and in De-
cember, 5000 at Andijan, which is in
the eastern part of Turkestan. In
addition to these last ten times their
number have been left homeless.
The entire number of lives lost from
this cause is l2,437.
Not satisfied with volcanic disturb
ances and earthquakes, nature was
busy with its storms In the shape OF
cyclones. typhoons, and hurricanes
every month in the year. They
count 1852 victims. Nature has also
let loose floods, sweeping away S,032
victims, China, as usual. being the
principal sufferer. Fire, that other
element of nature. claimed long list
of victims, though II Is hardly fair
to charge to nature what clearly is
attributable to human negligence and
carelessness. as was shown, for in
stance three times in Chicago when
the st. Lukes hospital, the glucose
works, and the Lincoln hotel burned,
involving the loss of thirty-seven
lives. Last year ,597 persons were
reported as having lost their lives in
this country by fire, but the real
number must have been greater. In
large fires in Europe 1907 lives were
reported as lost. The number of cas-
ualtes of this kind in Europe is much
smaller than in this country, as they
build more securely over there, and
consequently have fewer destructive
fires. The general trend of fire waste
in this country is in the direction of
increase, and the saddest feature of
ii all is that the loss of life by fire
also increases every year.
From all other causes a little more
than 10000 persons have perished in
1902 While this is not as large
number of fatalities as has occurred
in some other years, the destruction
is phenomenal in that nearly two
thirds of 1t was occasioned by volcanic
and seismic disturbances

Fish That Live in Rice Fields,

New York American: Captain Wat

Just in from the China seas, presented
the aquarium with several specimens
of novel fish which abounds in the
rice fields of China.
They are long and slim with fiat
spade shaped tails and about six inch
es long Captain Watson says that
when the water drains off from the
fields the fish are found in great
numbers in the mud around the roots
of the rice plant.
