STEAM LIFE-BOATS ‘The multiplicity of wrecks on the Atlantic coast from ‘Hatteras northward during the recent violent storm, and ‘the great loss of life among sailors testrfed to only in Part, but with infinite pathos by the half-masted flags Of the fishing fleet, teach the Iandsman anew the old » Tesson of the perils of a sea-going life. The seaside guest this year has had this truth brought home to him with startling force. He has sat on his hotel piazza on the Jersey coast at Seabright or Bay Head and seen vessels ‘wrecked hardly a stone's throw away. Hoe has realized " @8 never before the awful fury of the ocean in a storm _ @nd the helplessness of the mariner. To'watch the work of the life-saving crews at such time is to appreciate how greatly thetr efforts of rescue fre made to depend on the personal courage and physical strength for which they aro renowned. In the appara- us furnished thom they are handicapped for their con- | test with the waves. In the age of steam they are pro- / vided with an equipmont which wh{le no doubt the best Of {te kind may fitly be called antiquated. ® Why should not the several life-saving stations on the Sergey coast be equipped with steam tugs or with life- boats fitted with auxiliary power? In this main travelled seaway during the recent hur- Fieane nearly 200 craft foundered or went ashore. Un- “questionably many might have been given assistance © amounting to complete salvage by steam vessels ready mear at hand for the purpose. Z MISS RUSSELL’S TONSILS. Pascal, wishing to illustrate the influence on destiny ‘of little things, speculated on what would have hap- pened to the world if Cleopztra’s nose had been a trifle Jenger. Let us consider the sober fuct of what has oc- eurred because of the pain in Lillian Russell's tonsils. Of what use are the tonsils? The doctors differ. _ But because of the inflammation of these diminuttve, @lands jn Miss Russell's throat the most popular play- ‘house on Broadway will remain dark for a week beyond the time scheduled for its opening. _Doxes, bought at auction, including the one for which a Jawyer paid $207, will be empty, the theatre parties » scheduled for the occasion are off, there is distress among first-nighters and various ladies the city over are mourn- i ment.
