Throwing Life-Lines.

Capt. Andre, Chicago life-saving
official, has recently made an impor-
tant improvement in the method of
throwing life lines to wrecked or dis
abled ships. If the wreck happens at
night steel rocket is used which
leaves trail of light behind it and
thus enables not only the life-savers
to locate the vessel in distress but it
also shows those on the ship where
the life line has been cast. The cap
tain has devised combination of col
ored lights which will burn for almost
a minute in continuous trail of light.
Under the old methods shot after shot
is often fired from the shore without
giving any knowledge to the crew that
any attempt is being made to save
them. With this rocket line there can
be no doubt as to the whereabouts of
the life-saving men or the location of
the distressed ship. In the daylight
Capt. Andre has devised a whistle to
be used instead of the fire line at
night. In the case OF fogs probably
the whistle, attached to the proiec-
tiles, will be of considerable service to
the distressed ship-Philadelph

COMMENCEMENT AT MONROE COL
LEGE.

COMMENCEMENT AT MONROE COL
LEGE.
1t was the evening of commence
ment day at Monroe college. Upon
the wide veranda of one of the fra
ternity houses sat Philip Rossiter
smoking cigar and gazing through
an opening in the trees at the moon
valley. A very different
man he was in thought and appear
ance from the individual who had
strolled about the college campus
that Sabbath morning more than a
year and half previous. The sky
of fortune began to clear for him
the day he became a member of
the staff of the Evening Star, and
there had been no recurrence of
cloud. Early in his career upon the
paper, in the absence of a more ex-
perienced reporter, he had inter
viewed distinguished parsonage
with unwonted tact, and thus leaped
at bound into the graces of the
editor-in-chief. Inspired by his sue
cess, he tried sketch writing, the line
of effort in which he had formerly
won praise. His vivid pictures of
the slums, of tramp life, of unusual
police court episodes, quickly at
tracted attention. From these
sketches to fiction was a natural and
easy transition, and he suddenly
found himself a contributor to one
of the best magazines.
Rossiter was again the neatly
dressed man of yore, and to the ease
Of manner which had always been
lis was added a subtle trace of inde-
pendence of assurance that was
wholly new to him. He bore in his
heart but one burden, his love for
Sylvia Densmore; and yet he often
confessed to himself that the mem
ory of her winsome personality car
ried with 1T more of sweetness than
OF sadness. Her image and the recol-
lection of the hop-field days, more
than the importuning of friends, had
drawn him back to Hintonville and
the reunion with his college class
mates.
1t was his first holiday since he
had begun work upon the Evening
Star, and it proved to him a time of
restful delight-delight within whose
translucent amber he was conscious
of but single flaw. Three of the
four days for which he had been
granted leave of absence had slipped
by. Should he on the morrow drive
over to the Merton farm and have
chat with the good people-Jack
Parmelee and Mr.. and Mrs. Merton
and their daughter? Every night
since his arrival in Hintonville he
had put to himself this question, but
the visit was yet to be made. Pas
sionately as he longed for some news
of Miss Densmore, he dreaded to
hear of what he reflected must, in all
probability, have long since taken
place-her marriage.
For nearly an hour carriages had
been passing, conveying students and

MAKING BOWLING BALLS.
The Shaping and Modelling Require
Great Skill and Careful
WOrkmanship.

The popularity of bowling has grown
to such an extent in all parts of the
United States that the manufacture of
bowling balls, pins and alleys has be-
come an industry which gives employ
ment to thousands of men. While the
work of constructing the alleys does
not require any great amount of in~
genuity, it is in the shaping and model
ing of bowling balls that great skill
and careful workmanship are required,
says the Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
Bowling balls are made almost ex-
clusively out of wood from the West
Indies and Central American countries
known as hgnum-vitae, one of the
hardest woods known. There are sew
eral agents in these countries buying
up this wood all the year round. 1t is
shipped in the rough for the factory in
chunks about four to six feet in length
and varying in diameter from six to-
twenty inches.
The logs are put into specially con-
structed cylinder and cut into blocks,
after which the edges are rounded with
band saw. The rough balls are then
turned over to expert mechanics, who,
with the aid of turning lathes, gradual
ly plane them down to the required
size.
The balls are then smoothed with a
sandpaper turner, receive a coat of
shellac and oil and are complete, with
the exception of the finger holes, which
are frequently bored to measure "while
you wait" A similar process is used
in the manufacturing of pins, which
are turned out of Georgia pine and
maple blocks, for the most part, these
pins being considered the best by rea-
son of their durability and fineness.
Old balls can be turned down once,
but after that they are useless. The
pins do not last as long as the balls,
and an average of five sets year are
used to an alley. The regulation bowl
ing ball weighs about 16 pounds and is
81 inches in circumference. In a set of
IA balls four of them are of the regula-
tion size and ranging from that size
down to the smallest size used in the
cocked-hat game. A ball of the regula.
tion size costs from So to $3.50, but
many extra fine ones are made to or
der, which sell for fancy prices.
