HOW LlFEBOAT
ORIGINATED
''s9gg99g9g9ee99ee 99ee99e9eeS9ee99e.

The lifeboat is very modern contrivance. 1t Is
not much more than half century since 1t came
to be generally used. In the old days sea captain
greatly resented even the suggestion that his YES
eel should carry lifeboats.
At the period when these boats still were an ex-
periment a remarkable feat of hfe-saving was
performed on the New Jersey coast at point
now within the precincts Of Asbury Park
Joseph Francis an inventor, had brought forth 9
device made of iron and shaped like boat, with
a lid which could be shut. thus keeping out the
water. Francis commended that In case of ship
wreck near shore line could be made fast be-
tween the vessel and the coast and his quaint
Mfeboat hauled back and forth. carrying several
persons on each trip
Francis was the butt of much humor, and his
ufe.saving boat, which was commonly called
kettle because Of its odd shape, became subject
for general derision. Then a vessel bearing the
name of Ayrshire was wrecked In 1S47 on the
Jersey coast. 1t had a large passenger list, and
sreat loss Of life seemed inevitable. Francis
rushed to the scene got a line to the ship ana
started his boat upon its first emergency test. He
must have been lost otherwise, for the sea was 80
rough that no ordinary boat could have ever
reached land from the wreck.
In recognition of his skill and bravery, congress
presented Frnhcis with the largest gold medal
ever given by that body. 1t was made Of pure
eold. two-thirds Of an inch thick, and was OF
about the same size as tea plate. The boat de-
vised by Francis might still be in were 1t not
for the breeches buoy. Because Of the boats
Size weight and general cumsiness 1t was difficult
to handle. But 1t was none the less practical. and
payed the way for the breeches buoy, operated on
the same principle.

At last the box was ready, and 1t made a brave
appearance indeed for it had been painted a rich
cardinal color, and in the corners Myrtle had
transferred pictures of holly and mstletoe
bunches
1t was Christmas eve.
Uncle John sat in his bachelor home his feet
stretched out before comfortable CRATE fire. his
good old pipe in his mouth. When Uncle John
in reminiscent mood he always smoked a
pipe.
The housekeeper knocked softly at the door.
"rhe expressman Is here. He has brought most
remarkable looking box. and he says to sign right
here.'
The box was brought in. "Pease bring screw
driver" he said.
The driver in his hand, he waited until
the housekeeper had left the room.
He had not kept much track of his home folks
back on the farm. After Sister Myrtle died he
hated to ever think Of going back. Myrtle-the
good fellow, the charming colnpanion-as good us
any bOy-never took dare-even kept him on
the Qui vive to keep up with her (she was two
years older). "Ah." sighed he. "There never was
another girl like Myrtle"
AS his niece was named for Myrtle, who had
always loved music, he had given her an organ,
but that years ago, and he had almost for
gotten her existence.
Here then was a box from the old home. His
conscience gave twinge. How he had neglected
them!
The box was empty. The contents had been
carefully placed on the broad mahogany table.
Uncle John sat before the fire, motionless. In
the photograph. The wavering handwriting of his
mother, and the sight of her wrinkled face and
white hair in the photograph-such contrast to
that in the old picture-these touched him.
Then the sight Of Myrtle, with her fresh young
face her head bound around with heavy braids.
just US his sister had worn hers-the coral beads,
even, without which he never his sister-all
these things had seized him and transported him
back over the thirty years that had passed since
he had seen his home. Selling the receiver at
his elbow he called up the telegraph Office and
dictated the following message:
"Will be home New Years. Greetings. Box re-
ceived UNCLE JOHN"
Then he again took up the pictures and studied

says that he brought his family here
from Waynesburg, Pa, in September
and that he was notified December
by the storage company that his snart

else.
Mr. Crago alleges that the storage com
