LIFELINE EXPERIMENTS.
British Tests OF Kites, Balloon. Cam

Consul John L. Griffiths of Liver

committee appointed by the British
government to formulate a report up
on the question of British ships COM
pulsorily carrying lifeline throwing
apparatus conducted some most in
teresting experiments in Liverpool re-
Gently. the results of which are brief
ly described
The apparatus submitted comprised
Kites, buoys and different STYLES of
guns and rockets. The first tests
were those of Vests drift buoys.
which were followed by the much
improved Regurk box kite. 1t was
the opinion of those who witnessed
the experiments that the kite is n
successful invention and will he very
serVlceable when the wind is blowing
on lee shore One of the most in
teresting of the tests was made with
a balloon constructed of gold beater's
skin in two weights. 1t carried a line
Tor 1900 yards. The principal tests
however, were made. with, rockets
cannon and shoulder guns. which
nave been carried to a high state of
perfection. Much interest was shown
IN the results of these tests, both nv
the committee and the nautical ex-
perts.
Inc cannon threw a line a distance
OF $40 fathoms, which indicates the
standard of efficiency to which II has
Deeh brought. A projectile is inserted
III the cannon, and the cannon is fired
by means of friction tube which
propels the projectile a certain dis
tance, and from that point a rocket is
discharged which carries the line to
It's destination. The gune is portable
ana Is easily handled. Another inter-
esting feature is that during the day
time the smoke indicates the direc-
tlon In which the line is carried

the most satisfactory apparatus for

the deck Of large liners.
Two shoulder guns impressed the
experts present as the most satisfac-
tory Of those produced. They are

FORESTERS SAVE MILLIONS,
Thousands of Wild Animals Slain
Each Year.

An important feature of the work
or the forestry bureau is the killing
of wild animals that destroy stock.
VIII c. Barnes in an article in the
July McClures says:
In the year 1907 according TO
records kept of all predatory animals
killed upon the various national for
ests, or on lands adjoining them. no
fewer than 1900 wolves, 19,4OO coy-
otes, 265 mountain lions. 36S bears
and 22S5 wildcats and lynxes were
Killed by the various hunters and set
tiers. OF these, it is probably fair to
credit the rangers and the hunters
employed by the forest service with
at least one-fourth.
Now, any well-posted stockman
will tell you that, on an average. a full
grown wolf will destroy $1,000 worth
of stock every year of its life. Noun
tain lions prefer horses to any other
food, but still they will put UP with
calves and sheep. They too. are cas-
lily chargeable with $1,000 worth of
damage each year.
The coyotes, bobcats and lynxes do
less harm. and that mostly to sheep.
Yet think 1t is a very conservative
estimate to say that each coyote or
lynx annually destroys stock to the
value of fully 800.
Taking these figures as a basis for
comparison 1t is very easily seen that
the value of the animals killed by the
forest service men, is more than ST.
100000. Hence, so far as return for
their sSS6,s2O in grazing fees is con-
cerned, the stockmen get it back in
full and with some to spare.

MRS. GoULD's TENDER HEART
A Little Story Of Her Kindness and
Generosity to Her Former Friends.


A pretty little story about Mrs.
George j. Gould is going the rounds.
During the early months of last
winter, Mrs. Gould while driving
through Central Park was attracted
to the strained attitude of an elderly
woman who, despite the arctic TEN.
perature, was seated upon one of the
iron benches, apparently Indifferent
to her surroundings, says a writer in
the New Idea Woman's Magazine for
July. She was oilclad, and the blue
pinched features told Of insufficient
nutrition.
Something in the pose seemed fam
iliar to Mrs. Gould. Memories of
other days flooded her soul Sudden
ly an imperative "Stop" and the next
moment she had imprisoned the cold
hands in her warm, soft ones, ex-
claiming, why, 'Jingles,' where have
you been all these years?" The poor
woman started back gave a rapid
glance at the beautifully-gowned form
beside her. and endeavored to with
draw her hands, murmuring a few in
coherent words.
With firmer pressure Mrs. Gould
insisted: Surely you must remember
me, Edith Kingdom, whom you knew
IN the dear old days" For answer
there was piteous burst of tears,
and realizing that this was the time
for action, not words, Mrs. Gould,
shivering shoulders, drew her into
the carriage, covered her to the eyes
in costly furs and gave the order

Census Bureau Swamped With Appll-
cations for Enumerators.
A Washington dispatch says Of the
enormous number Of applications for
position Of census enumerators:
In spite Of the fact that 1t will re-
quire the services Of 10000 men and
women to take the next census of the
population and resources Of the coun-
try, Director of the Census North has
already received twice as many ap-
plications for work on the force as
there are positions. He puts in nearly
half of his time now answering the
applications for jobs that are coming
in from every state in the union.
A force Of $500 extra clerks will be
employed in this city, and, in addition
to these, there will have to be en-
ployed $1,000 enumerators in the field.
The remainder Of the 10000 is made
up Of district supervisors and other
superintendent Of the work.

fact that, by the terms of the act of
congress passed in the last session af-
fecting the census, there is no civil
service requirements for the work
1t turned out to be a boomerang. The
members cannot find enough places
to meet the demand, and Director
North Is tearing his hair in an en-
deavor to meet the demands of the
congressman and the wishes of the
public.
A striking fact is that nearly IS
per cent of the applicants for work
are women, showing that the lure of
the government job is much stronger
with women than with men. This is
probably true because the salaries paid
by the government to women are
higher than those paid to them by pri-
vate concerns.
