end Of the outer stage, when Its
legs are lowered to the ground.
The legs of the outer stage are now
elevated vertically SO that the lat
ter rests upon the former.
The outer stage is now moved
forward until the inner stage is
brought into contact with the rear
end Of the outer stage. The legs OF
the last named are then lowered,
those Of the inner stage raised, and
the same cycle OF operations Is re-
peated. By this alternate movement
Of the inner and outer stages the
machine proceeds to its work, and
when the site OF operations is at
last gained the whole OF the eight
feet are caused to rest upon the
seabed to hold the structure rigid.
The walking man" is quite a
massive affair. The outer frame Is
4Slz feet square, and it stands 80
feet high from the bottom of the
spuds to the working deck level.
The inner stage is 2s1s feet by 40A
feet The result is that the machine
can make forward stride of about
ten feet, while the inner stage can
move sideways for about three
feet. The feet are raised and
lowered by screw gearing driven by
electric motors. A complete move
ment forward can be effected in
fifteen minutes.
II has been found that, with this
travelling stage, work can be con.
tinued in the toughest weather. In
deed, 1t was heavy seas experienced
at Peterhead that led to its inven.
ton. One is now working for the
Admiralty at Dover and has expert.

A T Whitby, in Yorkshire, may
"A be seen an ingenious de-
4 L vice specially designed for
carrying out marine work. 1t is
nothing less than a travelling stage,
SO devised that it can be made to
walk out to its WORK and return to
shore again when desired. It Is
now being used for the construc-
ton of concrete breakwaters and is
the invention OF the engineers car
rying out this work, Messrs. w.
Hill & Co. Like many other contri-
vances, ii is absurdly simple, and
the wonder is that the idea has
never been conceived before.
The machine has eight legs and
feet, four of which are used at a
time when in motion. There are
two massive steel framework struc-
lures, one inside the other, the
outer being square and the inner
rectangular, the latter being some
what smaller than the other. The
legs, comprising stout members,
which can be moved up and down
vertically for a considerable dis
lance, are fitted at the corners OF
each stage and are pointed at the
lower end to secure a firm grip
upon the rocky seabed.
The walking action Is secured as
follows: The outer frame has its
front legs lowered until the spuds
or feet secure a grip upon the sea
bed The legs of the inner stage
are then raised to clear all OBJ
structions when the stage is moved

n HANY of my correspondents
MI complain that they are
49, emerging from Winter with
"disgraceful looking hands" l do
not suppose that this statement Is
really true. Americans, and espe-
eially American girls, are prone to
extravaganza In conversation. What
they mean, as / learn by reading
their letters further for particulars
in this bill Of complaint, is that tts
hands look rough and red.
Don't mourn those Redeemed, coarse
looking hands You will only etch
lines in your face and cause the
muscles to sag as muscles do early
in life II they have not been upheld
by a cheerful disposition and the
facial exercise that laughter brings.
Besides all force Is wasted that Is
not used in upbuilding new condi-
tons or in remedying old ones.
What is to be done with those red
hands?
First, DO not expose them to sud-
den changes of temperature.
Don't plunge them into hot water
and draw them out of the hot water
and dry them in a cold room. Sleep
in a cold room by all means, but
don't dress In one. II there are no
means to make your bedroom
warm for the morning toilet dress
in some part Of the house that is
warmed, II necessary by the kitchen
stove. Cold followed by heat or the
opposite extreme is sure to red.
den the hands and to coarsen the
texture Of their skin.
Second, do not wear tight gloves.
/ dislike a tightly-gloved hand. 1t
has always seemed to me vulgar.
am glad to see that Fashion is recog-
mixing this and giving her endorse
ment to the practice Of wearing
gloves a half or whole size too large,
SO that the glove will wrinkle
trife over the hand and look as
though the wearer were comfort
able. Wear gloves that are other
wise comfortable, that is, that do
not irritate the skin. For Summer
cotton or very thin suede, silk or
channels are best. Suede are
best in Winter, because they are
softer than most other materials
used by the glover in providing his
stock. Woollen gloves may be worn
over the gloves, but do not advise
wearing them next to the skin, for
they chafe the skin, making 1t
rough.
Third, do not wash them In water
too often while they are in the
coarse, Redeemed state. Remove the
dust or CRIME when possible by rub
bling oil or cold cream over the
hands and afterwards carefully wip-
ing them. When you wash them in
water let IL be in merely warm
water. Into this you may drop a
teaspoonfuI of powdered borax to
quart of water, or in the same
amount Of W. .r a dessertspoonfuI
of liquid ammonia or half dozen
drops of tincture Of benzoin. All
these will whiten the skin. II you
drop in the water handful of bran
or oatmeal il will soften and whlten
the hands.
Drying the hands Is as Important
as washing them. In the first place
don't thoroughly dry them, but
rather leave that task half done,
and pour over the hands a half
dozen or more drops Of sIycerine. II
