LIFE SAVERS FOR SKIBO.

Carnegie to Establish Stations on His Scottish Lakes. Andrew Carnegie will organize life saving stations on bis lakes at Sklbo castle, Scotland, as soon as he receives the medicine chests and other appliances used in rescuing and resuscitating the drowning, says the New York World. They were sent to Europe recently by President J. Wesley Jones of the United States volunteer life saving corps. Chief Inspector Rudolph Canfield of the corps met Mr. Carnegie and Charles Schwab at the Duquesne baths, Pittsburg, last year. Mr. Carnegie defeated Mr. Schwab in a swimming race, and it was then suggested by Canfield that life saving stations be established on the Sklbo lakes. It is said Chief Inspector Canfield will instruct the residents of Skibo in the methods of rescuing and resuscitating the drowning.
