ELECTRICAL WAVES TOWARD

OFF-COLLISIONS AT BEA MIYAKO

A device, which its inventor names the ** telemobiluscope," for preventing collisions at sen, has recently been invented and patented by Christian Hülsmeyer, an en- gineer of Dilseldorf, Germany. The up- paratus utilizes Hertzian waves, such as are ased in wireless telegraphy, and it can be in- stalled on railway trains as well as on ships. As described in The Technical World (Chicago, April) it combines a sending and a receiving apparatur, The electric waves, striking a distant metallic object-such as a ship are reflected back to the receiver, there operating to signal the approach of said object, as well as to indicato, by special mechanism, its direction and distance. Bays the writer:

"Aa ships are subject to oncillation, and the range of the receiver is limited, the apparatus is suspended after the manner of a ship's compass, thus maintaining a practically constant position in relation to the horizon. In the hollow hemisphere is an induction coil operating the sender, and deriving its primary current from some source of energy (storage battery or dynamo) on the vessel. The high-tension secondary current passes through collector rings and sliding brushes to the oscillator. The wavos issuing from the latter are projected with given inclination from the projection-box and the concave mirror placed inside. Suspended in front of a concave screen are the antennm, or receiving wires, which pick up the reflected waves. These may be located in any part of the rigging, but must be well insulated from the sending ap paratus. The antennæ are connected with a coherer of the type common in wireless installations, which serves to operate the audible or visible signal.

"The apparatus is made to rotate in-

CANTON, May 8. At a meeting of the directors of the Canton-Hankow Railway a telegram of enquiry from the Board of Commerce to the Viceroy was tabled. In the message the Viceroy was asked to submit his views as to the desirability of allowing the mer-

The selection of an office for the Company in Canton was discussed. It had been previously arranged to lease the house formerly occupied by a Mr Fung, in An Kung Stroot, but now that the lense has expired it has been decided to remove to a building which it was originally intended to purchase. The Sheungwui has been instructed to negotiate for the purchase of the building at once.

From eloven o'clock to mid-day he gives his orders to the officer on duty, and then does an hour's work with his two private

Secretaries. This hour is sometimes varied by official visits. The dejenner, or lunch, at noon is the most agreeable hour for the President. Surrounded by his family, and his private Secretaries and the officer on duty, he chats and jokes in the fashion of the south of France. He has his favourite southern dish, smoking hot Tourin, a kind of Scotch huggis, the dinner is plain, and the dishes few, but of good quality and well-cooked.

As he is an expert gardener he ohats with his gardeners, and advises or receives advice, as the case may be, on the laying out of a long strip of ground which borders the Avenue Gabrielle. He returns to his Cabinet and works on State matters, and receives the heads of Govern-

ment departments.

At five o'clock the President, often Accompanied by Madame Fallieres or his son, goes out in one of the Palace carriages until six o'clock. He works again until half past seven. At, eight, the Palace din. ner hour, the President appears in the small dining-room, but not in evening-dress, except when visitors of importance are present. After dinner the President spends some time with his family, and at half-past ten he retires to bed.

It's a simple, calm life so far, but how long this manner of Presidential life will continuó it is hard to say. Madame Fallièrics and her son are beginni gìto "cultivate" the smart set, and there is talk of a large ball that will be given at the Palace shortly. Probably the plain bourgeois dress will be discardod, and, like . M. Loubet, we shall see the President in the broad red ribbon and Star and Cross of the Legion of Honour.
