BOON FOR THE SHIPWRECKED
Life Preserver Invented by German
Enables Person to Remain AHoat
For Days.

Hundreds of inventions for the pres
ervation of life in case of shipwrecls
have recently been tested, but what
seems to be the safest is a suit which
takes the form of a combination of
life.belt and suit made of watertight
canvas, which envelops the whole per-
son. The suit has sleeves ending in
gloves, and there Is a portfolio In the
head, which can be closed when the
weather Is rough. When this port.
hole Is closed. air enters through q
tube above the head. this tube being
30 constructed that no water can en-.
ter.
Furnished with this device, it is
claimed that passenger might be
thrown into mid-Atlantic and live in
comfort for many days. while waiting
to be picked up. for the suit can be
equipped with sufficient food and drink
to keep a shipwrecked passenger alive
for a week or more.
A man or woman using this device
stands with feet in a sort Of bucket,
which forms the base. This bucket
takes in certain quantity Of water.
which acts as ballast and keep the life
saver and its occupant upright.
Furthermore, the apparatus is pro
vided with revolver an signal lights
with which the shipwrecked passenger
can signal for help by day or night.
Attached to the apparatus are ropes
by which two or three people can keep
themselves afioat ia they have not the
good fortune t. have one of these life-
saving suits.
The suit is the invention of Ger
man named Gustave Heinrich. and he
declares that it will deprive shipwreck
of all its terrors in all circumstances.

Light Humor.

In the latter half of the eighteenth
century one of the members of little
scientific society in Liverpool, Eng
land, laid a curious wager. He bet q
brother scientist that he would read a
newspaper by the light of farthing
dip at distance of 80 feet. The b. s.,
finding the feat difficult at even a sixth
of the distance, cheerfully accepted
the wager.
The layer merely coated the inside
Of a shallow wooden box with sloping
pieces Of looking glass, SO as to form
a concave lens. placed behind his farth-
ing dip and readily deciphered the
small print at the stipulated distance.
The experiment was witnessed by a
Liverpool dockmaster. He was think
ing man and saw great possibilities In
this learned jest. He straightway
adapted the principle to lighthouse re-
quirements and forthwith the modern
reflex light, with its miles Of reflected
range and untold life-saving powers.

something. and we certainly needed It

I'm afraid it's that young man, AL.

"Why, l didn't think it had gone

However, twice during the ensuing

Canine Sagaeity.

A remarkable instance Of canine sa-

owner of the dog some little time since

A month went by. Blanche was
urging the closing up of the estate as

Blanche. What do you think? Her
lawyer notified me today that we must
pay up the mortgage on the place here,
now owned by her."
A dull blow fell upon all the hearts
within the room. It had meant pow

now. The selfish -avarice Of Blanche
was apparent. The family decided to
move to another town. Then came a
vast surprise. There came by mall

Father and His Daughters.

The habits OF a lifetime which began
a generation or more ago. the habit of
being source Of maintenance and the
need of keeping in hand the means Of
maintenance. the habit Of power and
of keeping hold Of the source of power,
may make a man less than fair per-
haps in dividing his acquisitions with
his wife, but when it comes to the
daughters whom he is going to leave
in the world when he quits it he Is all
for securing to them as far as he can
a full share of all that is worth hav-
ing. Hardly can sex selfishness squeeze
in between him and his girls. AS be-
tween them and all males, he is for
them. He wants them to lose no good
thing that may lawfully be coming to
them. He wants no man to bully them.
no man to impose upon their generosi-

sorrow or a hungry heart.-Edward s.
