THE LIFE SAVING SERVICE.

The annual report OF General Super
iutendent Kimball OF the United States
life saving service serves to call atten-
ton again TO a most important but gen.
orally underestimated government de-
partment. More than co per cent OF the
people OF this country live away from
ths oceans and the great lakes. There
fore they have little or no opportunity
to observe the work OF the life saving
crews and they cannot, therefore. APP
preciats the importance OF the service
except when they see figures such as
are presented in this annual report.
The efficiency OF the service may be
understood from the statement that out
Of 4.SO9. persons whose lives were en-
dangered in disasters to dOcumented
vessels. all but twenty-seven were
saved. thanks to the life saving serv-
ice. The lives OF $50 persons who were
out in sailboats. rowboats and other
small craft were placed in jeopardy,
and all but ten were saved While the
saving OF life and the saving Of prop
erty should hardly be discussed at the
same time, the report naturally deals
with the latter subject olso-
Il is estimated that thu value Of the
documented vessels that were jeU7ar-
died was $le,32e csc. or this sum more
than seven-tenths. or s9lS3S5. was
saved. The value OF undocumented
vessels was S26is9O ana the actual loss

saving life at the imminent peril Of
their own lives and % saving tho prop

for pensions for the widows and or

Fifteen years ago Clyde Fitch was a
dThmatist of such sudden fame with
the disputed comedy of Beau Brum-
MEL that detTactiOn found willing be-
levers. But Helena Modjeska had

for her a femin zed Beau Brummel
