I'VE Kew DEVICES TO SAVE
LIVES IN MINE DISASTERS.
Rescue Work Advanced by Recent I'm
provements-Savine In Oil Fields.

Engineers of the United States bu-
reau Of mines have perfected six de-
vices. five OF which indirectly involve
the saving of human life and the sixth
the saving from waste OF natural re-
sources. In each instance application
has been made for patent In order to
retain these devices for the free use OF
the people without the payment of roy
atty.
Perhaps the most important of the i'm
ventions relate to Improvements In the
rescue apparatus worn by miners fol-
lowing disasters. This apparatus.
which supplies oxygen to the rescuer.
permits him to enter poisonous gases
and carry on his work for two hours.
In the bureaus experience with this
device three rescuers lost their lives.
and In each instance it was believed
their deaths were due to defects In the
apparatus. The engineers found diff
Guilty I'm the absorption of the poisonous
matter OF the breath in the apparatus
and also In the reduction of the high
pressure OF oxygen carried In the tanks
on the back OF the rescuers. Both prob
lens were solved.
A third invention Is that of n col
lapsible mine cage for use In rescue
work following a disaster. Often the
mine cage Is so badly shattered by the
effect of explosions hat IL cannot be
operated. In such instances. IL Is
! claimed. the coilapsible cage would
| save hours of delay In rescue work.
/ The designer is George 8. Rice. chief
mining engineer OF the bureau.
j. w. Paul, engineer I'm charge OF the

inventor of an electrical signaling de-
vice for use in shafts. especially fol-

FRANCE AROUSED BY
PUBLIC MEMS LIVES
Scandals Brought to Light by
Recent Shooting.

Paris.-The Paris press Is foreshad-
owing an approaching exposure In the
private life OF one of the most power
ful statesmen In France which may
cause a revolution In the matrimonial
standard demanded OF high officials OF
the government. hitherto elected TO
Office regardless of the o fragrant
violations OF private morality
The exposure in question. which
awaits investigation by detectives in
the United States, Is directed point
blank at the enforced resignation OF
President Poincare and undoubtedly
Ia purely political In that respect. But
IL Is part OF a widespread movement
throughout the country which was
started almost Immediately after Pres
Elysee with the wife be married inn
mediately after he. as her lawyer. had
obtained for her a divorce from her
former husband. IA cab driver.
That Nine. Poincare was an Italian
by birth and had been an actress on
the vaudeville stage did not serve as
a protection against her enemies. They
have been able to strengthen their
campaign against her by the fact that
her husband has compelled the gov
eminent to give her a place In society
which the wives Of other presidents OF
France did net hare.
And o OF the furious agitation over
the murder OF Editor Calmette of the
Figaro by Mime. Caillaux. wife Of the
minister OF finance, the movement for
q moral standard In politics gathered
many recruits. They are uniting to
produce some decided action at the
time OF Mime. Caillaux's trial. The
press calls attention to the fact that
she IL a divorcee. that the man she
murdered had been divorced. that
Caillaux had been divorced twice and
that the defending lawyer. Labori, is
the husband Of a divorce. the former
wife OF the famous musician, De Pach-
mann, whose divorce was obtained by
Laborf's legal efforts.

WHY PRESIDENT WILSON
DROPPED THE NAME TOM.
Held That Three Spondees Aroused
levity In Hearer and Bearer.

The secret Is out at last of how and
why the Thomas came TO be dropped
from the name of Thomas Woodrow
Wilson. The mystery was solved by a
disclosure at the reunion of the class
OF 1889 at Wesleyan college. Middle
town, Conn.
President Wilson was a professor al
Wesleyan from 1888 to 1890. One even
ing I'm the course Of a call on a fellow
professor a discussion arose on names
and their effect on success In life. Ac-
cordinG to the story. Mr.. Wilson held
that the effect of a name was due en-
tirely TO its formation In long or short
s%yilables
Though some with impunity snatch
opportunity" IL was almost impossible
the future president thought. to
achieve success II tagged with a name
that ran all in dactyls On the other
hand. success was certain. IL ones
name consisted of one dactyl and one
spondee. the reason being hat the hu
man mind il pleasingly affected by tbs
run of one long. two short and then
two long s~yllables.
The next best sort of name. Mr.. VII
son believed. was formed of two spon
dees. like Woodrow Wilson" where
the effect OF the -four long syllahles
was aided by the ALTERATION. But the
worst sort of all was the name form
ed of three s~pondees. for the surplus
Of gravity In such a name always pro
duced a reaction Of levity both In the
hearer and the bearer.
