SCOT as a Buoyant,

attracting good deal Of attention has
for one of its distinguishing features d
great deal of SCOT. 1t consists of two
cushions filled with a preparation, OF
which the chief ingredient Is SCOT, and
these are attached to each other by
side straps. One cushion rests on the
chest. the other across the shoulders
and the connecting straps lie under the
arms. 1t is claimed that the new de-
vice does away with the awkward ten
dency of the older belt to make the
wearer turn turtle. and that a person
using it cannot possibly lose his perpen-
dicular position in the water. Simph-
city. ease of adjustment and great
buoyancy are also claimed for the new

between six and seven pounds and
practical demonstrations of its useful

Ferns for Human Food.

Recent study of the dietary of the jap
anese shows that they utilize as. vege-
tables not only water weeds and liehens:
but also several species of ferns: One II
the foods regularly supplied to the Mia
dos troops during the recent war with
Russia was a kind of dried fern biscuit.
Most Of these edible ferns grow wild IN
the United States. but nobody ever THINKS
of utilizing them. There is KIND OF
fern known in Japan as warabi, which
sends out roots in all directions 10 q
distance. In spring these rootlets throw
up fine sprouts. which are esteemed
delicacy Poor japanese obtain from the
woody stems of the same plant an edible.

A Defense That Failed.

Washington dispatches Indicate a
pronounced feeling among his teilo"
Senators that Senator Tillman OF South
Carolina failed to make good in his
defense. In fact, it could hardly be
called a defense at all. and even the
members of the minority in that body
are not satisfied with his play upon
words and the construction he desired
put upon them. The inquiry which
Senator Tillman pretends to seek Will
undoubtedly be made, and unless he
has more to say in his own behalf than
he said tC the Senate Monday the coun-
try will be convinced that President
Kuosevelt's charges were well founded
and that the South Carolina wielder of
the pitchfork who has never failed to
make an ostentatious display OF homes
ty as his chief asset in public life, has
abused his privileges as a Senator.
1t may not appear that he has VIOLA
ted the law of the land, but it is very
evident he has broken the laws of good
taste and decent morals. Says Sena-
tor Tillman, 'fWill the President under
take tn say that l have lost my right
to buy land because 1 am Senator?'
That was one of the most significant
passages in Ti]lman's speech. When a
man in public life buys land over which
he has some official control, great or
small, direct or indirect, he puts him
self In very delicate position, and.
with feeling running high on such mat
ters as it now runs in this country, 1t
is difficult to make his conduct appear
other than discreditable. Anyway, Till
mans defense certainly fell far short
of expectations and the present en-
barrassment of the South Carolina SEN
atcr affords new proof that President
Roosevelt, in spite of his so called im-
pulsiveness, knows what he is doing
when he yields the big stick.

Nebraska's Happiest Man.

OF course it is William Jennings Bry-
ar. But why his great happiness? Well.
there are several reasons for 1t. He has
the state offices of Nebraska to distri-
butte, he is the supreme and loyalty
worshipped leader of the assembled
Democratic legislators at Lincoln, and
he is absolutely sure that he will be
elected President in 1912. We have all
this and more on the authority of a. E.
Winship, the we'll known educational
writer and lecturer, who CHANGED to be
in Lincoln when the Nebraska legisla-
ture assembled last week. He writes
an interesting account of the things lie
saw and heard to the Boston Advertls-
er. and we quote a few paragraphs
from his letter:
"It was the coolest evening for more
than two years and no one was out
and about who did not have to be. 1t
had been the first day of Democratic
legislature in many years and Aote
Lincoln was busting with the CROWD
Of Democratic statesmen and the vas'
array of Office seekers who had rushed
to the capital to present their claims.
1.-The Lincoln is always the he2dauar'
ters of the Democrats. but of late years
there has been nothing doing" but al
this has changed and it has doubled its
capacity in anticipation of something
doing" and every room was needed an6

not entirely sure that he has made up
his mind for keeps, but it is hope
that must be held out 20 these fellows
whose only chance of coming back next
time and electing United States sena-
tor is in the prospective candidacy Of
Mr.. Bryan
1T is a common rumor here he is
already sure that he will win next
time. He knows that he was defeated
in the last two days of the campaign.
He knows that nothing could have saw

he would be elected by as large mar
gin as that Of Mr.. Taft on Nov. 5.
Il have seen Mr.. Bryan many times;
in campaigns and between campaigns
and have never seen him so happy as
row. He expects Nebraska to pass
the best progressive laws IN the world
this year, and they will be of his dicta-
ton and to him will come the credit.
He expects another Democratic legisla-
ture 10 succeed this and subsequent
events interest him greatly. 1t is the
general feeling in Lincoln at this time
that Mr.. Bryans career is only in the
initial stage"

OCEAN LIGHTED UP
Brilliant Streaks Of Blue and Green IN
Gulf Of Mexico.

A most remarkable marine pheno-
mena was observed by the steamship
Dover, Capt. Yon. A. Carson, as that
vessel steamed to Tampa from Mobile
When at a point IS miles from Mo-
bile light, at o'clock on the evening OF
the oath, the ship ran suddenly In
streak of light coming from the water
which alternated blue and green, the
colors being so brilliant that the vessel
was lighted up as if she was covered
with arc lights with colored globes.
A half mile streak of dark water
and blackness that settled like d pail
over the ship followed and second
streak of the same brilliant hued wat
ers was encountered The second
streak was about as wide as the first
one, and when the ship ran out of 1t
the same hlackness were also encoun-
tered.
A. D.. Montmollian. travelling freight
agent of the line, was on board the
vessel. and he and Chief Engineer T. j.
Cole fully substantiated Capt. Carlson's
statement regarding the phenomena.
IT have sailed the high seas for %
years." declared Capt. Carlson, "but I
never saw anything that approached
this blue and green light from the
water The night was dark. but clear.
and we ran into the streaks without
any seeming warning. I was III the
pilot house when We struck 1t. and
ran on deck, thinking that something
was on fire.
1.-The crew tumbled out to witness 1t
also, and it was magnificent. 1t was
so light that it was remarked by the
chief engineer that it could be read by.
and to make sure 1 grabbed paper
and the finest print that I could find
was easily discernable.
I'VE ran out of the streak into a
streak of black water and the darkness
of the night seemed to increase as we
did so. From the streak OF blackness
We ran into the second streak Of light
cd waters. Each Of the streaks and
the intermediate streak of black water
was about half a mile wide" Tampa
