cumstances recourse is had to the wreck gun
and beach apparatus with view to carrying on
rescue work through the instrumentality of the
breeches buoy or the life First of all a
shot with line attached is fired the
stranded vessel by means of a powerful little
mortar snubnosed cannon which will hurl a
line over wreck 400 yards distant, even in the
teeth of gale. With this preliminary line in
their possession the crew of shipwrecked craft
quickly haul, out larger line and finally q
three-inch hawser. Attached to the hawser is a
board which bears in English side and in
French on the other instructions as to how to
make the hawser fast to a mast or the best place
that be found.
When the shipwrecked mariners signal that
they have obeyed instructions to fastening the
hawser the life-savers on shore haul the hawser
taut and perhaps elevate the shore end by means
of a tripod in order to lift it we'll clear of the
water, after which there is sent off to the ship

life depending from rings running on
the hawser Only one person at a time be
landed by the breeches buoy but from four to six
people can be carried ashore at each trip of the
life Whichever be the vehicle employed the
trips continue until all the mpered persons are
safely ashore, after which an ingenious mechan-
ical device known as the hawser cutter is drawn
out to the wreck along the galloway and upon
arriving at the terminus of the hawser auto
maticaly cuts the rope, allowing the life-savers
to haul it ashore and thus preserve intact a val
liable part of their apparatus.
Ambitious inventors constantly devising
new forms of apparatus for the of the United
States life-saving crews. Indeed these inven-
tons are numerous that the federal govern
ment has felt obliged to create board of experts
whose special duty it is to test novelties and who
hold such trials several times year. However.
not many Of the ideas that are advanced
prove practicable. for the exacting conditions of
the rough and ready service involved and the
above mentioned classes of apparatus continue to
be the standbys on which lfe-savers place
the greatest dependence. However there has
latterly been advance in facilities for signal
ing and there is now in form of beach light
so powerful as an iluminant that it enables one

than nine hundred feet

line About this time Mr.. Newell was elected to
congress and the first resolution day of the
first session of the thirtieth congress-on jan
uary 3, 1S4S, to be exact-he introduced in the
national legislature the measure which laid the
foundation of Life-Saving Service.
The national government maintains up
ward of three hundred ifesaving stations dis
trbuted the coasts of the Atlantic, the Pa
cfc, the Gulf Of Mexico and the Great Lakes.
Each of these stations is named by crew of
from six to eight surfmen-hardy and fearless
fellows who are splendid specimens of physical
manhood and who are skilled in handling boats in
angry seas and in manipulating the various me-
chanica1 appliances which Uncle Sam provides
as aids to the Drawn and the quick wits of our
coast patrolmen in the dangerous task of cheat
ing the deep Of its prey. For devotion to duty
that necessitates eternal vigilance and the most
fatiguing service the lifesavers receive the mod
est wage of $50 per month. Moreover they
ceive that pay for anly nine months year the
crews being laid off during June, July and Au-
gust, at which season storms and wrecks
are almost unknown. Should a life-saver be in
jured during his '1ay-off' he not only
cannot get back into the service but he cannot
under existing conditions draw any pension or
retirement pay, matter how many years he
has faithfully served the nation.
The vast majority of rescues effected by the
life-saving crews are accomplished by means of
lifeboats surfboats These stanch craft, which,
as now manufactured, are almost unsuitable, are
the ideal vehicles for taking considerable num-
bers of persons from impered vessels in linn
tied space of time If the patrolman, who in his
vigils on the beach discovers a vessel ashore and
hastens to the life-saving station for assistance,
reports that the of boat is practicable eth
ed the large lifeboat is launched from its ways
in the station and proceeds to the wreck by wa
ter or the lighter surfboat is hauled overland to
point opposite the wreck and launched as cir
cumstsnces may dictate. Formerly all of these
boats were propelled by and many Of them
big motor lifeboats, which a vast improve
ment in every way their predecessors.
Outlines ship meets disaster in dangerous
a position or with such high running that it
is manifestly hopeless to attempt to reach the i'm

least a life interest in beauty, instead
OF seeing the precious possession de-

the beautiful face has more to lose

SECRETS OF TOAST-MAKING
Cut Bread Night Before so That Sur.
face Is Dry Before 1t
is Toasted.

The secret Of having crisp toast is
to cut tie bread the night before, so
that the surface is dry before it is
toasted. Another trick is to have the
slices, when toasted, stood up on edge
in some place where they can be kept
hot until they are served. If the slices
are placed one on top of the other
they become soggy. ....
For toast that is to be used as the
foundation for poached eggs, mush-
rocE1S o. any creamed food, half an
inch is the correct thickness, hot
water is distributed over it evenly
with small spoon, and melted butter
spread on with a bristle brush, which
comes for the purpose. People who
dislike the softness produced by this
treatment can, of course, preserve the
crlspness of the toast by emitting the
hot water. Often, when bread is very
stale, it may be steamed little be-
fore it is toasted; otherwise it is so
hard that even the best of teeth rebel
at it. Housekeepers who do not pos
sess ancient silver toast racks have
been heard to say that these only act
as coolers for the slices they hold, and
that they are not desirable at all On
the other hand, a covered toast dish
holds the heat and steams the slices
to sogginess in a short time. The
surest way to have perfect toast
seems to be to dispense with the an
cient formalities and take to ultra
modern inventions, such as the cleo
trio toaster, which stands on the table
at milady's elbow and makes the toast
while you wait"
