English Plan to Build and Run Ocean Steam Life Boats. London, Jan. 23. Ono of the most recent projects for tho relief of suf fering and tho protection of property is to build and run ocean steam life boats. This Is Uio plan of a well known English shipbuilder, and la known as the "International Blua Cross Ocean life' and Salvago Sorv Ice." It Is intended that it should take tho placo at sea which tho Rod Cross occupies In the army. At presont a ship wrecked at scr depends on a chance meeting for th( rescue of lives. Tho rescuing vessa is awarded by the admiralty courta a certain part of the valuo of tho property saved, tho amount awarded being known ns salvage. Under the "Blue Cross" plan a certain number of especially designed boats are to patrol the Boas over fixed and known routes, following tho main ocean highways. Shold a vessel bo in dis tress, the captain, by looking at his schedule, could tell exactly when a patrol boat would be due at the near est point, and plan accordingly with some eye to business, despatch, and tho comfort of thoso on board. Tho rate of salvage would be fixed, and tho officer would know exactly what the rescue would cost tho owners. Tho projector believes that if seamen knew that on a given boat ono of the lifeboats would bo within sight of a certain fixed latitude nnd longtltudo, many crippled ships and their crews would be saved nnd accounted for, who, as things aro now, have to abandon their Hhlps, Tho means of providing this patrol sorvlce should be furnished by tho nations served, In proportion to Die tonnage of their shipping. All salvage would go to government account and he credited to their servico. Kansas Lawyers to Meet, Topeka, Kan., Jnn. 24. Secretary D, A.
