Among recent English intents is a belt for saving lite, whioh consists of a baxid of canvas, with cork layers at intermits. Attached to the belt are four floats or bladders of rubber, with a proteotive covering. This is atrapped around the body Under the arms, the bladders being inflated with air, by the wearer by blowing through a tube which runs aroued the belt, and is fit - bad with a self-closing valve. The filling takes less than half a minute. Equip- ped with one of these belts a man can walk into deep water with his clothes and shoes on, and. be. supported with ease in, a perpendiouler position with- out making anyceffort. He can, in fact, smoke a, cigar While in the water.
