NEW LIFE SAVING DEVICE.
Kite Designed by which Ropes Can
De Carried Ashore From ships.

NJ. Pelletan, the French minister of
marine, has placed a vessel at the dis
posal of NJ. Zuchowiecki of La Rochelle
for the continuance of his interesting
experiments with a life saving APP
paratus, a Y a Paris dispatch to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. This consists of
a large kite of oiled cloth with four
air bags in the head to maintain its
equilibrium. The kites tail consists of
six cloth pockets in the form of fire
buckets, suspended one above the 9th
err. a the end of the tail rope a
strongly built paddle is fixed.
The great difficulty in shipwrecks
near shore always has been in getting
n rope aboard to establish communica-
ton with land. A strong wind in
variably blows inshore. Zuchowiecki
suggests the carrying of a life saving
kite on every vessel. as an inshore
blowing wind would make 1t easier to
carry a rope from a vessel ashore than
vice versa. If rocks made 1t danger
Gus for the man with the rope and life
belt TO travel to shore steering with
the paddle. a dummy could be substi-
tuted. otherwise the man guiding
himself with the paddle can reach the
shore with great rapidity.
Zuchowiecki threw himself into the
water with the apparatus eight times
a few days ago during a gale of wind
and came safely ashore, pulled by the
kite from distances of 500, 1000 and
1900 yards. One of NJ. Pelletan's sec
retaries. who witnessed the expert
ments, said they We're entirely success
full. The tests with the dummy were
also successful. 1t is probable that the
kites Will soon be adopted by the
French navy as well as by fishing tend
merchant ships.

from which he was graduated in the
class of 1878. He was admitted to the
bar of the supreme court of Indiana
in 1879 and Immediately entered upon
the practice of his profession. In 1881
he was given the degree of A. M. by his
alma mater, and in 1881 moved to Des
Moines, Ia, where he practiced law for
three years, returning to Lafayette in
1856. Shortly after he took up his resi-
dence in Indiana for the second time
Mr.. Miller was connected with a Sum
day newspaper of which he was the
editor. The paper passed out of his
hands shortly afterward, however, and
he returned to the practice of law. He
was able to build up a fourishing prac-
tice as an attorney and was promi-
nently identified with the public affairs
of Lafayette and contiguous portions
of the state, although he steadily de-
clined to hold public office of any kind.
A few years ago Mr.. Miller became
connected with the Lafayette Journal
as an editorial writer and his able edi-

him to a very high place in public es-
TEEN and in the estimation of the
prominent men of his state.
Mr.. Miller was selected by the presi-

edge of the ~pensionslaws and the prac-

THE WORK PROGRESSING
Repairs to Baltimore & Ohio Shops
in Satisfactory State.
FAINT HUM OF ACTIVITY HEARD
Engine and Machinery Being Placed In the
Vast Structures, and Electrical
Room Being Built.

The work of putting the building OF
the b. d o. repair department In
condition to resume work in this city
is just now being pushed as rapidly rs
thought that before long the silent and
deserted arches Of those vast struc-
lures will once more resound TO the
busy hum of indu stry. Gloomy and
frowning IN their Stiffness they stand.
d melancholy reminder of their de-
parted greatness, vet here and there
the fall of a hammer or the clash OF
machinery serves to relieve the gloom
Of the suffered buildings.
A walk through the great brick
structures discovers a promising trace
of life. Workmen here and there move
about like black shadows in the dusk.
Work is progressing quietly yet sure
ly. Spectators enter. and after a cur
cursolv inspection, depart with feel
ing of satisfaction. The shovel and
hammer are busy instruments. and the
laborer and mechanic ply their aD-
pointed tasks with a vigor that is
gratifying, and promising for the fu-
ture.
IN the big boiler shop workmen are
engaged in covering the earthen MOOR
with a thick coat of cipders. and b.
fore long this part of the work will be
completed. In one norner of the vast
building the carpenters are basily en-
gagged in constructing an engine room,
which will contain the electrical ma.
| chinery. A big 50-horse power boiler
and engine have been placed IN posi-
ton and the foundation for the gem
orator is in place. The shafting, belt
ing, etc., will be in position before
MANY days, and the room fully en-
closed.
Over in the great machine building
a quantity of machinery lies scattered
about ready for the hands of the
workmen. A portion of the machine.
nv was shipped from New York on the
4th of this month, but has not a yet
reached the city. Some shafting is
yet to come. and as Dol as it arrives
and the skilled workmen a be Sc
cured, work will be in full swing on
the repairs to this part of the works.
Soon thereafter operations in the .shops
Will begin, and they will nee o be
the scene of busv aud important work.
Just what disposition will be made
of the big roundhouses could not be
learned with any degree of certainty.
An impression seems to prevail that
they will not be used extensively, ano
many believe that thew will either be
torn down or abandoned altogether.
However, the work of repairs is pro
crossing satisfactorily, a~nd.before Ions
will advance at an even more rapiC
rate.

A ''Reai Thing" Tenderfoot.

The day of the tenderfoot with the
hard boiled hat and newly laundered
shirt,smooth-shaven "phiz" and general
gullible appearance may have passed
into the decline of reminiscence some
years ago, but the old adage Of p. T.
Barnum that "There is a sucker born
every minute" still holds good, and is
occasionally prolific OF results In the
way of tenderfoot arrival in our
midst. The fools are not yet all dead,
and occasionally one meets a man west
of the great divide who seeks for cow
puncher with horns and hair on his
teeth; or a gold mine with shirt stud
settings and wedding rings cropping
out at every i'm pact of the miners pick.
Undoubtedly an occasional "capitalist"
sojourns among US who seeks coils Of
electric wire in cavernous depths of the
Copper Queens workings. But be he
ever 90 wise, the average tenderfoot
(and average means 80 per cent of him)
will 60 straight up" at the bark Of a
pea shooter. Such was the case when
yesterday at midnight the Ariz-tocracy
turned loose to proclaim the birth of
New Year. Our friend, being of strict
Puritanical habits, had long since
obeyed the call of curfew and was com
fortably ensconced in his boudoir at
the Copper Queen hotel when the mid
night orgies of blooded Bisbeeites dove
tailed nicely into his dreams of MUIR
derous and bloodthirsty Apaches.
Couple this with the fact that visit to
the company's powder magazine had
given birth to our friends imaginative
thoughts OF what one explosion there
would mean, and you have an idea of
what q hotel night clerk contended
with in the way of pacifying '.real
thing" tenderfoot in the tolls of bap.
