Tbeae life tireaerver were fastened Ukiu the bodlea. but round the middle Instead of under the arm, aud tbe greater weight of the upinr part of the body bad tipped 'the bcud under water uud tbe lH'nton of course wa Inevitably drowned.

Tbe word "belt," therefore, waa tbe cuuse of the lose ot many Uvea In tbe Bourgogne disaster. Sarcey according ly proposed to counteract the fatal ef fect of the French word by renaming tbe article aud calling It a brassiere, which la a kind of waist and by bring ing the word bras, or arm, to mind to teach people to put a life preserver on Just undemeatb the arms. 1 ha Pilcn, No one would he HUely to Imagine that so heavy and.
