What is a Torrent Title T It I* a title to real oatate guaran teed by the &late to bo perfect and unassailable lo court. Where does It get ite name? From Sir H. H. Torrent, Premier (Secretary of State) of 8- Australia, who originated this land title regis try to guard against land aharks, and remedy the then existing defective titles of his country, causiug expen slve litigation and doing greet injus tice to the laud owners. Wherein does a Torreus title dif fer from our warranty deed? A Torreus title cauuot be issued by the clerk of the court without u perfect chain of title being on record an dthe property appears unencum beiwd by liens, judgments and mort> guges; when issued it is guaranteed by the Btate against all claimants, and suit for its recovery cuunot be brought agufnat the owner, but a suit for paymeut of the saume may be brought agalnat the State. How does the State protect U??lf against possible loss? An additional fee oeslde the regu lar registry fee, may be charged, which creates a sinking fund out of which, all Judgmente accruing from suits arising out of land litigation and Its expenses would be paid. What effect would such a ehange have on our courts? It would do away with most of the litigation now filling our Superior Courts, thereby saving the taxpayer many thousands of dollars. What other direct benefits would the land owners reap from such u luw ? It would secure to tbe luud owner lower interests on the money borrow ed, as the lender would have abso lute security for money lent on land, more capital would seek loans, thereby lowering the rat# of interest. Would auy class b? iajured by the puasage ef ttuoh a law? The Laud thlevee, abstract compan ies and setae lawyers would be, as little or no land litigation could arise under such a law, after it was firmly established. If such a law Is passed, would such deed havs to be reeorded again? No. The law rould be made op tional, bo only those who desired a Torrens Title could take advantage of the law. $209,000 FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. RI vers and Harbors Bill Provides for Work In This State.

Defies Icy Walks With a Sand Brake Philadelphia., Pa.?a rubber wa ter bottle filled with Band and strapped around his body, with an at tached gas hose leading down through devious channels that terminate un der the instep of his Bhoes, la the strnnge contrivance used by Thomas Brady, North side fire alarm operator, to pand his routo home on Icy morn ings. "Toot! Toot!" whistles Brady as lie 6tarta for work each morning. Then he pulls a little cord that opens a p\ug and the sand Rtarts to flow. At ilrst there was a ticklish feeling when the Band ran down tho tube, but Brady has got over that. The con trivance, notwithstanding its bulk. Is a grand success. Brady lives about six blocks from tho old Allegheny city hall. The sand receptacle holds about two qunrts and this is just sufficient for the daily trip. T lifer e is a continuous flow of the ear.tl and Icy BldowalkB are rendered no pleasant M Ike woodlawns ot V&Uam broua. In the two previous winters Brady slipped on the ice on his way borne. One time ho was laid up seven weeks with a broken kneecap. The other time he hurt his ankle and was laid up at home for over a month. At the beginning of this winter be began to think of what poseiblo thing be could do to proteot himself this winter. For a time he tried "creepers," but these were not satisfactory. Then earne the brilliant thought. He took posaepslon of the family wtu ter bottle and hunted ar some old gas hose. One difficulty was In getting the sand to fall at the right spot and also to adjust the flow. Finally he got a little plug. This he could open with a string leading up to one pocket that allowed th? sand to flow at regulated speed. But tb? Band would fall by the wayside and not go uuder hli shoes. Brady is a mechanic and made a little metallic thing he called a "spreader." This caused the sand to Klip under (ho sole* of his shoes. Brady thinks he ought to get a patent ?ut ob the sand "flprcader."
