with, which is the subject of recent
patent. It is fitting that such a de-
vice should have originated, of all
places on the globe, at Atlantic City,
which vies with Coney Island in its
numerous catch-penny amusements.
While rather limited in it's field of ap-
plications, mechanical coin assorter
is doubtless justified by the necessi-
ties of the amusement business, where
a great number of small coins are
handled daily. After a .monotonous
scooping in of innumerable nickels,
dimes and pennies during the course
of long day. It must be great re-
lief to dump them into hopper, turn
a crank few times and remove the
coins sorted into denominations, and
possibly counted. The device is based
on the simple principle of graded open
ings formed by bars arranged in tiers
at right angles to the axis of the CYL
inder. AS the only coins which will
go through the openings travel sue
cessively through the larger size are
retained, the smaller pieces travelling
toward their tiers until they reach
their proper place.

Treatment Of Floors for Ruus.


The hygienic advantages of floors
covered with removable rugs instead
of dust-collecting carpets are so well
known and realized that the tendency
now is to have bare floors and rugs
for the sake of comfort and convent
ence as we'll as to follow the trend oI
fashion. Good hard wood floors are
blessings that certainly are anything
but disguised, for they always lool
we'll, form a pleasing contrast to any
kind of rugs and above all they are
easy to keep clean. In case, however
one has an old floor of soft wood tha,
is hard to treat satisfactorily and the
laying of a hard wood floor is not pos
sible or practical, floor of hard pine
put down on top of the old floor may
be made to look almost as we'll as one
of expensive hard wood. For this PIN
floor a stain, one of those especially
prepared, should be used, light o,
medium color being preferable to {
dark one, and it should be remem
bered that several thin coats will wea,
much better than one thick one After
the stain is put on the floor may be
oiled or vanished with good results

Tea Table Furnishings.

A new idea in household furnishings
is a tea table on which is spread {
cloth having white background with
a graceful design in blue. AS a set
ting for blue and white china or TO,
use in room done in Dresden colors
this is very effective and pleasing
variation from the regulation tea
table, with it's fancy cover embroider
ed in white, or with plain white
squares of damask. For summertime
use, however, these blue and white
covers will be found very satisfactory
They are made of light weight ma
terial, something like Japanese crepe
are inexpensive and harmonic very
well with the light, airy summer dra
peries. With teaset of old blue china
one of these covers is a pleasing &C
compartment, but even without family
heirlooms it makes an agreeable sub
stitute, for the everlasting white usec
during the rest of the year.

Knox and Phillips jumped sprawl
ing into the boat and flung the oars
over like a brace of madmen. 1 ran
ait to the helm and put it down hard,
so as to bring the vessel UP head to
wind. We were only just in time.
MY mates had to row about a hundred
yards to reach TIE spot where the four
men lay. One of them, a petty officer;
mad heavy sea boots and oilskins on,
dragging him down, and the lieutenant
was doing all that mortal could to
support him. They picked him up at
last. 1t took four men to pull the poor
fellow in, and he went all of a hean
in the bottom of the boat sobbing out
God bless you fishermen for saving
my life.'
by this time the torpedo boat had
seen what had happened, and, stop-
ping her engines, lowered her little
cockleshell of a boat. But for some
reason which can't explain this craft
filled with water at once and was USE
less. Perhaps the speed at which the
torpedo boat was going towed her un-
der when she was lowered. Our own
boat now came alongside, and the
first question asked was, Are there
any more of you in that sunken craft?
Fifteen more, God help them,' came
back the answer, and the lieutenant
put his hand to his eyes and groaned
l asked whether they would come
aboard our trawler, but the officer, in
broken voice, said no; they would
get on the torpedo boat. This YES
sci now came steaming close up along
side of the smack, while the other SUBJ
marine following in her wake. We put
the four survivors on board the tor
pedo boat, and her commander thank
ed us for what We had done, and 1
could have sat down and cried like a
child over the horror of it all. Then
we got our boat aboard again and
bore away to sea-
