carrying steamships are able to carry
sufficient boats for lack of room.
The ordinary boats in case of accidents
are liable to be stove when being low
cred, or when lowered to be oyercrowd-
ed and swamped. The Englehardt coll
lapsible boats, 1t is claimed, combine
the requirements of economy In space
with the utmost carrying capacity.
Should emergencies arise the Engle-
hardt boats need not be launched. Only
the lashings have to be cut, and when
the ship has sunk the boats will be
found floating on the water like RATS.
Two men or boys can, in a few seconds,
extend the sides of the boats simply by
lifting in the cross beams and thus con-
verting the ~raft-shaped boat into a life
boat that will hold bread, water tanks,
oars and supplies enough to support the
passengers a considerable number of
days.
The invention is a pontoon-shaped
boat Of wood or iron and filled with
kapok, in water-tight cushions, which
are placed in water-tight compartments.
Kapok combines the greatest floating
capacity with the best weight and will
sustain from 80 to IS times its own
weight in water.
The boat has a superstructure which
can be folded up or erected. the whole
surrounded by a fender also filed with
kapok, in water-tight cushions. In ex-
tending the boat, the oars are released,
an oval-shaped thwart supplied with
cross-thwarts will slide into position and
stanchions and other parts drop into
their places automatically. The mech
anism is simple and not easily put out
of order.
The boat, according to advices re-
ceived at the department of commerce
and labor, from Ernest L. Harris. COM
mercial agent at Eibenstock, Germany,
has been subjected to exhaustive tests
and has successfully withstood all OF
them.

occupant can shut himself entirely
apart from the outer world and pursue
his literary labors unmolested by the
slightest sound. 1t Is In this workshop
that Gen. Wallace has done much of his
best work. What has not been accom-
plished there has been done beneath
! the shade of an aged beech tree which
stands beside the library. 1t was under
this favorite tree that most Of the chap
tiers of Ben Hur" were written. The
tree has come to be known historically
as the Ben Hur beech.
OF the writing OF ben Hur" Gen.
Wallace told an interesting story to a
Chicago Chronicle correspondent 1t
has been told that the inspiration for
the tale of the Christ was given to Gen.
Wallace by the famous agnostic, Robert
G. Ingersoll. Gen. Wallace denies that
a reputed conversation with Col. Inger-
soil had anything to do with the be-
ginning Of Ben Hur." It was, however,
due to a conversation between Gen.
Wallace and Col. Ingersoll that the re-
search which. made the book the mar
vel of its age In all lands began.
This conversation occurred during
the course Of the journey from Cincin-
natl to Indianapolis. Ingersoll had
made the speech which nominated
James G. Blaine for the presidency. In
the car on which both were returning
Col. Ingersoll occupied the stateroom.
He invited Cen Wallace to join him
and have a talk. Gen. Wallace replied
that he would do so on the condition
that he be permitted to fix the topic OF
conversation. To this Ingersoll assent
ed, asking him:
What is your text?"
Gen. Wallace replied: 'Is there a
God?"
II don't know. Do your" was Inger-
soils reply. o
"Is there a hell?" asked Wallace.
81 don't know. Do your"
WAS Jesus Christ the son of God?"
Il don't know. Do your" Ingersoll
answered in the same tone.
Ingersoll then took up the entire SUBJ
ject of the Bible and displayed such a
thorough knowledge OF the book, its
characters and scenes that Gen. Wal
lace became deeply interested. He
studied the new testament and the life
and sayings Of Christ with the result
that he came to believe absolutely in
the Bible. He gave up all doubt of the
existence of a God and accepted the
story of the divine origin of Jesus
Christ. His conception of the Nazarene
and the almost perfect portrayal OF
scenes in Palestine, which he had not
yet visited, were the result of this con-
~versation. Had 1t not been for Bob
Ingersoll 1t is doubtful whether the
world would have had the ben Hur"
as II is known to people of all lands.
Certain II is that Gen. Wallace would
have lost much Of the fame and wealth
which the book brought him. For
without the awakening produced by the
conversation OF Ingersoll Gen. Wallace
would never have studied 90 deeply into
the subject rs he did F.

before the headings meet. The workers
In the Swiss boring have suffered Sc
verely from springs, the amount OF
water which had to be dealt with (partly
arising from natural iniltrations and
in part comprising that introduced arti-
ficially for refrigeration, rock boring,
etc. amounted at length to 3,672 gal

have sufficed to stop work, as has now
been found necessary, but for the abb
normally hot thermal springs which
have been encountered at intervals.
The men can and do work in cold water;
but hot water Is another matter, and
although the issuing springs are cooled
by jets of cold water being directed into
their midst, the temperature of the
workings became unbearable. This,
combined with an impending landslip,
has necessitated work being abandoned
for a time, at least, on the Swiss side,
and the tunnels are closed with two
iron gates which weigh about eight
tons, and are built to resist a pressure
of lat pounds per square inch Of sur
face. On the Italian side work still
progresses In spite Of encountering a
spring hotter than any yet tapped which
discharges $50 gallons a minute, and
the work will probably be completed
from this side. 1t is feared, though.
that grave difficulties may be encoun-
tered when the Italian heading has ad-
vanced sufficiently far to blast an en-
trance into the submerged heading.

COL WILEY'S
OK ROAST
CELEBRATION IN FRANKLIN
TOWNSHIP LAST OF WEEK
The FEAST TO BE SERVED
In a Grove Near Bethel and the
Time Will Be Friday or Sat-
urday.

Franklin township, Wayne county,
is one of 1ndiana's Republican
stroneholds. They are a very patri-
otic people, too. Previous to the
election Colonel Wiley promised the
people Of the township that If Roose-
velt was elected he would furnish
an OK for one of the best oldfash-
ioned roasts, and now that the coun-
try is safe for four years more. he
will keep his word
Yesterday in the township 231
votes were east for Roosevelt and
50 for Parker. The people Of the
township now propose to jollify, and
they will do so in great style.
The date for the big event has not
been set, but it will probably be
Friday or Saturday. The feast will
be served in a grove near Bethel,
and the entire Republican population
of Franklin township will partici-
pate. Colonel Wiley was in the city
today and extended invitations to
county officers. newspaper men and
others to attend the celebration.

at the meeting. The rules of the

that the league would stand by the

were considerably worried yester-

appearance. They thought perhaps
that Richmond would fail to show

elegant in appearance. The bodies
were built by the Cincinnati Car

the new ears are supplied, were TAX

them more power than the ordinary

Main street line altogether. The
first one was run at 2:30 yesterday
