OF people could look on.
The result was a prize offered for
a practical lifeboat. This was won by
William Wouldhave, a poor man and
a painter by trade. His boat was not
very different from Lukin's. Many
boats OF this kind were built and put
to use, but they were so heavy and
unwieldly that 1t was impossible to
transport them far to the location of
a wreck, or to launch them from a fiat
beach in a storm.
And it took another spectacular dis

Story of the Lifeboat.
From the Mentor Magazine.

From the Mentor Magazine.
A Frenchman named NJ. Bernieres
devised the worlds first lifeboat In
1765. 1t was built with air boxes at
bow and stern, and proved its ability
to the ginwales. Twenty years later
Lionel Lukin, an English coach
builder, invented his famous lifeboat.
This was modelled on the Norway
yawl, which is. a descendant Of the
fine old Viking boats, and has their
seaworthy build. To this type Lukin
added air-tight boxes. making her still
more buoyant by q belt Of cork along
the gunwales.
But the British government showed
indifference toward Lukin's patent. 1t
was the wreck of the Adventure, in
1889. that shocked the British into
action. Not that 1t was any worse
than many other wrecks that were

CHURCIIMEN WATCH SCOPES CASE,
 CONFIDENT DOES NOT IMPERIL BIBLE
By REV. JOHN A. RYAN. D.D.

Law may have to face a jury that is incompetent to determine whether the theory of evolution has been taught In such as way as really to contradict "the story of the Divine Creation of Man as taught in the Bible" There is involved here question of Bibri- cal exegesis to which even the ablest scholars do not return a unanimous answer. Moreover, legislative inter- ference with the school curriculum may easily extend into other fields than those of science and religion. If the State may prohibit the teach ing of evolution, why may it not pro- hibit instruction which favors the CO., operative principle in industry, or the ownership of the tools by the work CTS, or certain other industrial theo- ries that seem to many legislators to be radical and therefore, dangerous to the State.
