the London Assurance Company re-
ports that in addition to the sale of
the entire holdings of the company of
American and Canadian securities in
England a large number of American
securities held by a committee for the
company in New York were sold at
the time of the Ang1o-F'rench loan and
their proceeds reinvested in the loan.
This was one of the first transa ctions
of the kind that had come to light. 1t
was understood at the time of the
bringing out of the AngIo-F'rench loan
that investment in the loan on the part
of English citizens would be consid-
cred unpatriotic. The only generally
known case in which English money
was invested was that of-Sir Ernest
Cassel. who subscribed $4,000, 900, to
the loan out of funds deposited in the
United States

New Safety Device.

A clever device to insure that not
more than ten men at once shall ride
on the mine cages is in use at the
colliery of Jermyn & Company at
Rendham. 1t consists of a turnstlle
with four spaces, which will revolve
exactly two and half times IN one
direction, thus admitting ten men. the
turnstile revolves on a screw thread
of which there is just enough to per-
NIT the two and half revolutions.
Then the gate to that shaft is closed
and that to the adjoining shaft opened
and ten men are admitted by the
turnstile revolving in the opposite di-
rection to the cage in that shaft. Inc
device stands between the two shafts.
It is the invention of Supt. John Cor
coran, and has been in use long
enough for thorough test. The only
wav to load more than ten men on
either cage is for the extra man TO
climb over the turnstile or gate, ano'
of course, the headman will not per-
NIT that.

Some people wait until the wings OF
