NEW EtFE9sAFI0a VEST.

Claim That Uniquk Device VIII sus- tain Body in Water for Successive Days 6E4e% ---~
 2. c. Angeyine of Los Angeles. Cal, aftes Six years of persistent, patient effort, has finally succeeded in con- strueting a unique life preseryer, the possessors of which can successfully defy the .perils Of the ocean for sue cessive days, thus obliterating the ter TOTS of drowning in case of shipwreck.
 The new device has just been patent ed, and the inventor is confident that he has worked out the ideal life pre- server problem. Protected by one of the suits, 1t is claimed one may stand in the water, recline. sit or partake of lunch for several successive days.
 A severe test was made recently with the model that Angeyine has construc- ted, at Redondo, in California, and the device which to all outward appear ances is nothing but an inflated can-g vas jacket, accomplished all that was claimed for it by the inventor.
 Angeyine's invention has all the re- quirements for a sea voyage of sev- eral days. and the eontriyance, pro- visions and all. he recently carried to Rodondo with him in suit case. The air chambers of the life-pre- serving jacket or suit, which create the buoyancy of the contrivance, are indestructible and will last. lifetime, They are air tight and therein lies the efficacy of the wonderful contrivanee.
 In pouches and pockets are con tained the following articles: one quart flask 4of stimulants, which can 1 be sucked through a rubber tube con- meeting with the collar; a gallon can 1 teen of water, which is slung about the shoulders; concentrated food for five days duration, placed i'll 3 pouch hang ! ing from one side of the jacket and lcounterbalanced on the other side by a similar aluminium pouch for a recep- | tacle for Valuables; q small aluminium gun and cartridges for signaling the red, white and red light of distress;, a sheath knife; jointed flag pole. 8 feet in length when connected, and
 bearing an inverted American flag the day signal of distress; a duplex whistle and two capacious side pock-
 cts, that may be used for any purposes. ] The use of these articles and con tYeniences have been tested by we'll. known residents of San Francisco dur ing the past three or four weeks and
 were found to accomplish everything
 that was claimed by the inventor.
 l By the aid of Prof. D. F. Maxey, an expert swimmer of Redondo, and Al
 bert Peters, a relative of MT. Angevine, Eff I1yae Tad Lnf Ia ,+,-ixy lance would sustain three men without tthe slightest effort on their parts. The inventor claims that it. will support
 24 pounds of iron in salt water and 20 pounds of the same metal in fresh water. ses5 54st s#*z
 The idea of a buoyant coat was Ieonceived by the inventor years ago,
 and he has constructed numerous mo- dels,
 1 That night signals contained in the
 outfit can be discerned for a distance iof IS miles at sea, and the smoke from them by the day is visible 10 miles away, said the inventor Mean while one Is reasonably comfortable land has the necessary provisions. ''#t i Angeyine declares that at many of l the popular bathing resorts this sum-
 rner the new life preservers will be
 largely in evidence, and will be es- lpecially sought after by persons who have not yet acquired the art of swim
 ming, as it will give them required tcouraga and confidence while disport- ling in the water. 4#
 | Another use to which the new life
 preseryer can be put is in the trans lportation of soldiers across river, the inventor claiming that by the aid of a lrope 10000 soldiers could be safely con- lveyed from shore to shore by simply
 wearing 1000 of the novel pneumatic Jackets and that the time consumed lin the undertaking would not exceed three hours.
 l @Angevine has protected. his inven- ltion with American and foreign pat Ients. The Mexican Government, he isays, is negotiating with him for the patent right in that country. He in tends to leave soon for Washington, to demonstrate shortly the uses to which
 the affair can be put before Govern lnlent officials who have already ex-
 pressed much interest in his if,ven-
