init a feasible plan during the life
of the present parliament.
long" he said, I'VE shall be dis
appointed, indeed, IL we are unable
to add to our legislative achieve
ments a measure doing justice to
these deserving people, whose claims
ought long ago to have been reco6-

a sum as 100000 could not be IL
cluded in the coming budget won tn
approval of the whole house. Several
conservative and liberal members
supported the motion, which was
agreed to without division.

can Of water which she had filled by
means Of broken wooden bowl.
The bowl was floating on the sur
face Of the water, and rs he talked to
the woman, wouldhave turned it over

he repeated the performance; then It
struck him that he had made Won
derful discovery. The result Of his
chance meeting was the self-righting

on the lines Of the broken bowl.
What he had discovered was that
anything made Of floating material
and shaped like one-half Of sbasin
could float only with its convex sur
face idownwards. A boat made on
selines cannot remain upside down
for more than an instant when II 10
turned over by heavy sea.
