This remark by Rear -.Admiral Sims of the United States Navy at the luncheon of the Chicago Association of Commerce recently, brettght a whirlwind of applause. At other stages of his splendid address the Ad- miral paid equally empratic tribute to the paramount and indispensible prow- ess of his Majesty's ships. He made the fact unmistakably evident that to British sea -power alone the world owes the defeat, of the Ilun. A touch of chestiness in view of what their arms have accomplished is surely pardonable on the part of the Britons. We have waited for our American nrillitary and naval chiefs to pay the well. -deserved compliment to the triumphant instrument of vic- tory for civilization.

But perhaps the newest and at the same time the most novel method of them all, is that where inflated gas- bags are utilized. The apparatus employed is of the simplest nature imaginable, consist- ing chiefly of a gas -bag and an afr- purrp. It can be used at any depth of water where divers can work. For the sake of convenience, the gas -bag is fitted up with three air con- nections, and it is made free from all danger arising out of overcharge or over -pressure due to rising from great depths. The largest gas -bag at pre- sent constrlt ed is said to possess sufficient power to displace over a hundred tons.

The gas -bag, or flexible camel, as it is called, can be packed into a space of approximately one ton shipping space. Its portability enables it to be Passed through small spaces, such as porta and hatches, into the hold of the sunken vessel. It is then inflated, and lits itself into every corner. The water is displaced p1laced by means of the air in the gas -bag, and thus the desired buoyancy is pro- duced. The ship is thereby enabled to float to the surface, and is towed to the nearest dockyard for immediate repair. It has been •said that the introduc- tion of this new system will revolu- tionize the whale science of salvage. Certainly the cheapness of the appara- tus, if nothing else, should prove a valuable asset in its favor; whiffle the fact that it will raise ninety-nine out of a hundred wrecks ought to make its introduction an unqualified success.

PARKER'S DYE WORKS, Limited Cleaners and Dyers 701 Yonge St. - Toronto HOWE BY ALFATORS ADVENTURE IN A RIVER IN BRI- TISH GUIANA, While Reseuing a Dog Mr, Robinson, The Noted Traveller, Has Narrow Escape, 'While going to the rescue of a pet dog in. a river in British Guiana Mr. C. H. Robinson suddenly found herself surrounded by alligators. He tells in the Wide World how he managed to escape from this unpleasant situation. One afternoon I had returued from the field, says Mr. Robinson, and was about to indulge myself in a siesta in my hammock when. Barclay, a strap- ping negro boy, came running excited- ly into my room to tell me that a flock of ducks had alighted an the lagoon about half a mile away. Hurriedly snatching up my gun and cartridge belt, I made fol• the spot, accompanied by the boy, and had gone some dis- tance when I became aware that a small dog, named Daily, a pretty Swedish terrier, was following ere. Daily belonged to a fellow overseer, by wb..orn he was much prized, and in- deed he was a great pet with the whole household. I did not wish him to go with me on this occasion, how- ever, for I feared that he would %care the birds. I tried to drive him back again, but he was not to be denied; and so I allowed him to follow. I reached the piece of water and. af- ter a little stalking, managed to $hoot two ducks, one of which was only wounded and fluttered away some twenty yards, where it floated and struggled. At that moment Dally jumped into the water and swam toward the dis- abled duck. The brave little dog had reached it and was returning with it when Barclay suddenly out: "Look, bans! A 'gator! Going for Dally!" Sure enough, about fifty feet away was an alligator swimming rapidly to- ward the dog. "Quick, Barclay!" I said, "Jump in and frighten the brute away!" But Barclay objected. "No. bass, I 'fraid!" he said resolutely. There was no time to be lost in ar- gument. The reptile was approaching the game little dog, which, burdened by the flapping duck, nearly as large as himself, was making slow progress. Dropping my gun, I jumped into the water and, half wading, half swim- ming, soon reached the dog, and then, placing him, duck and all, under my arm, I started to return to the shore. The only point on the bank at which I could laud for some distance round the lagoon was immediately behind the evil -looking brute; so I splashed the water and shouted at him, but without effect. There he continued to keep watch end ward, and it dawned upon ere that lie intended to make a dash for the dog if I ventured to ap- proach him. Poor Dally by now perceived his enemy, and was evidently terrified, for he set up a piteous howl, I am bound to admit that I was beginning to feel somewhat apprehensive my- self, for I liad never known an alliga- tor to act with such boldness before, and my uneasiness increased when the boy on the bank shouted: "',Cake care, master; whole lot 'gators dere behind!". I glanced round and saw at least four or five of the uncanny reptiles swimming in my direction. doubtless attracted by the howling of the dog. For the first time I was thoroughly scared, and am ashamed to say that for a moment I entertained the thought cif 'flinging Dally to the brutes and securing my own safety, I was at a loss to know how to act circumstances. But Barclay, who had heen gazing ripen -mouthed and inac- tive at the scene, suddenly pulled him- self imself together arid, seizing my gun and ramming in two cartridges, let drive both barrels at the eye of the sentinel alligator. The result was instantan- eous, ,Vith a loud hiss and a great swirl, the brute sank out of sight, leaving a gradually widening stain of blood on the surface of the water. Making a slight detour so as not to come in contact with the body, I dash- ed for the bank and, to my enexpress- ihle relief, scrambled out to safety. Were You Born in May?
