without sheep queen and the
throne is occupied by Mrs, C. c,
Moore of Wyoming. on whose
Kirby Greek ranch 5000 head of
sheep were sheared this year with
an average OF eight pounds Of wool
which sold at 22 l-2 cents pound,
which makes handsome income
for the good woman. She is the
richest woman in Wyoming. worth
about one half million dollars in
sheep, lands and real estate in Cas-
per, Cheyenne, Los Angeles and
other cities She has winter home
in Los Angeles, where she lives
four or five months every year, and
spends her summers on the range.

end pieces. When extended in the
manner shown, the cage is about thir-
teen feet in height by some four feet
in diameter.
The floor of the cage is built up
of rope netting of fairly close mesh,
to afford an easy foothold, while at
the top the rope side members of
the ladder are continued to form
a cone terminating in an iron
ring, by means of which the
whole apparatus may be swung
from a hook working with block
and tackle. When not in use the
whole folds up into small space, COL
lapsing much after the same manner
as Chinese lantern, so that it can
be slowed away in any convenient
spot.
In the case of an accident, such as
the capsizing of pinnace or a sailor
falling overheard, a davit or spar
carrying a block and tackle is run
out over the ships side and the pulley
rope made fast to the top of the cage,
which is then thrown towards the
scene of the accident. The act of
th.owing causes the cage to distend
to its fullest extent. SO that the man
The St. Mary banner., 1909-10-30

IN the water can grasp either rung
of one OF the ladders Or climb to pO-
sition above the water on the outside
of the cage, the hosting tackle being
manipulated so as to keep a sufficient
length of the cage we'll above the
water, SO that the rescued man can
secure a safe position. The advan-
tage of the apparatus is, that it can
be used for saving a number of mon
simultaneously without the least
trouble, being simply thrown in their
midst, when it is easily grasped by
all, SO that the risk OF drowning is
minimized. Even in the event of one
or more of the immersed men being
nOn-Swimmers, risk of drowning is
reduced, since the appliance can cas-
lily be hauled toward the helpless by
one who is a swimmer, Or trained
toward the spot by means of the spar
tackle to which it is attached. For
use in tropical waters, where the
seas are infested by marine foes, it is
especially useful, since there is suf-
ficient space between the ladders to
allow rescued persons to make their
way into the interior of the cage.
This done, the cage with it's human
freight is simply hauled up out of the
water by the block and tackle, swung
round and safely deposited upon the
deck.
1t will thus be seen that the device
is very simple, both in design and
operation, and that it dispenses with
all preliminaries. Upon large war
ships it can be slowed, with the
hoisting rope attached, in various
out-of-the-way places on the upper
deck, ready for instant casting over
board by hand. The rope can be at
tached to the spar block and pulley
tackle while the drowning are grasp
ing the appliance, and the device i'm
mediately hoisted and swung inboard.
The central hoop not only prevents
the rope ladders from bulging or be-
coming entangled, so that when
thrown out the cage expands immedi-
ately, but it is also useful for the at
tachment of a steadying line held
from the deck during the hosting and
hauling-in operations. - Scientific

Novel Life-Saving Apparatus.

Experiments have been carried out
in the port of Hamburg with novel
apparatus devised by a German in
ventor for rescuing sailors who have
fallen overheard. The results have
proved so completely satisfactory that
it has since been adopted by the Ger
man Admiralty, and arrangements
are now being completed by which
every naval vessel will be equipped
with one or more of these appliances.
The apparatus, as may be seen by the
illustration, is of a very
simple character, comprising cylin-
drical cage, built up Of rope ladders
disposed around the periphery of the
circular framework. There are in all
six of these ladders anchored top and
bottom to iron hoops and with a sup
porting hoop midway between the
