Guns Which Save Life.

The three and six Founders with
which all the sea-going revenue cut
ters Of the service are armed now are
used to shoot lines TO vessels in dis
tress. For years they have served as
nothing more than ornaments on the
decks Of the cutters; for it never was
necessary to use them in the enforce
ment Of customs and navigation laws.
They were carried mainly for their
moral effect.
These guns have heen found far
more effective in lire shooting than
the line guns formerly carried--smali
brass cannons Of the type seen at life
saving stations along the coasts. Al
though the cannons were in use for
many years, they were never entirely
satisfactory. 1t was almost impossible
TO aim them with any degree of accu-
racy, and accordingly line shooting
with them was 'hit or miss" matter
In the majority of cases.
The rapid-fire guns now used are a
great Improvement on the old pieces
and Insure accuracy.

Irrigation in Egypt.

The Egyptian ministry Of public
works. which has been experimenting
in cotton raising during the past ten
years in the Gezia region in the Sudan,
has issued an optimistic report to the
effect that it will be possible to do
better than double the yield of cotton
in the Nile Delta by means Of a sys-
TEN Of dams for irrigation in connee-
ton with the White Nile and the Blue
Nile.
Vast quantities. Of water have been
stored already, and during the past 80
years nearly a million acres of en-
tirely new band have been added to
the taxable soil of the country. 1t is
estimated that in this newly explored
region about 2.5O0000 acres of land
could be made capable of growing cot
ton. This, as a matter of fact would
give more land than is now planted
with cotton in Egypt. Irrigation
works are now being constructed, aud
a plot Of 10000 acres is being tDemed.

Rrinhteninn the Shave.

An Englishman, weary of blood
shed, has bethought him of a means
of enlightening the gloomy and 9th
erwise dangerous ritual of the shave,
says Popular Science Monthly. He
has invented a miniature electric
lamp provided with an adjustable clip
and flexible cord which may be at
tached to the razor and light the path
OF the blade through the tough bris-
ties of the human face.
With his lamp attachment one may
plunge fearlessly into the blackest
depths of a three days growth of
beard and emerge from the ordeal IN
scathed. The lamp is attached to a
conventional type Of razor by sim
pie clip. 1t travels with the blade or
with the motion Of the hand. BY look
Ing into the mirror the man shaving
himself can determine just what pro
gress he is making and whether or
not he is going to come through the
operation with his two ears intact.
