NEW FOG SIGNALS.
A COMING INVENTION.
A device has been described by Electricity which has for its purpose the warning of a vessel at sea during a fog of the approach of another vessel or of the vicinity of an iceberg, The apparatus in question was quite compli on the principle that an object emits heal
cated, and essentially theoretical, and was based
radiations when its temperature in either higher or lower than the surrounding atmost phere. Whether such a device could be made to work satisfactorily in actual practice is pro- blematical, owing to its sensitiveness, and on this account a recent invention of an Italian phone; would seem to give more promise of professor, based on the principle of the tele-
AUCCCSS.
This device, which is said to be at tracting the attention of the navy department, is styled wireless telephony, and has for its
object not only the prevention of callisions at sca, but the detection approuch of torpedo bants in naval warfare as well. That the in- vention is practical would seem to be proven by a number of experiments that have been made in the Gulf of Genoa in the presence of scientists and naval experts. The details of the apparatus and a report of the trials fat have taken place, and which are said to be confirmed by offical reports, are given in Italia Marianer, & are translated as follows: "It is well-known that the transmission of sounds is in direct ratio to the density of means through which they are transmitted. It is aqually well-known that water is an excellent means for transmitting sounds to à distance. It has been noticed that a bather immersed in water hears with great distinctness the sound of a steamer's engine in motion, because the water in which the latter is immersed is in a special state of vibration owing to the move- ment of the engine and the screw actuated thereby. From these principles the inventor derived the conclusion that if the air could seize these vibrations of sound, an instrument of great sensibility below the water would be susceptible of seizing them at a greater distance and with greater distinctness, and he became
convinced that the telephone apparatue should be the point of departure for obtaining a practical means of signalling between 'Twa Vessels. Water would take the place of wires. It was necessary first of all to construct a sound receiver which would per- form the functions of the ear below the surface of the water, then another apparatus that would increase the sounds received and indicate the direction whence they came."
|
In practice, a portion of the apparatus is located on the conning-tower of a man-of-war,.} while a second piece of mechanism, or the receiver, is secured to the ship's side below the water line. Continuing, the article explains the operation of the device:-"The submarine receiver is a kind of box secureti to the hull with a number of depressions so as to receive sounds from all directions From the centre of each of these, an electria wire leads to the telephone which latter contains an ingenious mechanism based on Edison's well-known scientific principle. A. dial plate on board is divided in two parts corresponding to the two sides of a ship. Two hands indicate the direction of the ship, and two hands in. dicate the direction of the vessel signalled, A system of bells at the upper part of the dial plate and of the receivers on board indicate by sound with greatest distinctness the rhythm of the screw ot a distant vessel. When coming within seven kilometres of steamer the hand of the telephone turns and indicates the direction of the vessel and follows its, route, while the bells and receiver beat > simultaneously, the cadence of the distant screw. The noises of the vessel on which the disturbance, apparatus is located cause no owing to the special construction of the sub- marine receiver."
A
From the above description, it will seen the principle on which the device is based fs, that the sound waves from a revolving screw will be transmitted through the water to a diaphragm and thus made audible, which would certainly seem reasonable providing a sufi ciently sensitive diaphragm capable of vibrating under water has been obtained. Commander Richardson Clover, chief of the office of Naval Intelligeace at Washington, is reported as say: ing that the invention contains elements of success, and that if found practical it will be made use of in the American naval service..

DESERTER'S CURIOUS STORY,
ARRESTED AFTER A SEARCH OF TWELVE
YEARS.
When Aftred Perry, a man of thirty-two, living in Rayner-street, Hackney, was brought up at North London and charged with being a deserter from the 4th Hussars since 1897, he raised novel and curious defence.
He admitted that he was the person advertised for in the London Gazette, but contended that he was not a deserter, as he had not been sworn in. The circumstances of his case were as follows:-
Thirteen years ago he tried twice to become a soldier. He went to the Wellington Barracks, but was refused because of a weak heart. The
he went to the Tower, where he was passed, with number of others, and sent to the Wellington Barracks to comply with the pre- liminaries of soldiering.
He was accepted in an infantry regiment but was told that he ought to go into the cavalry. He agreed, and, as a consequence, he was with neither party when the swearing-in was in progress. He was sent with other men to Edinburgh, and then his name was not even found upon the list.
After three months of soldiering he had had enough of it, and he wrote to his father stating all particulars as he had now given them. His father reglied, "You are not a soldier. You have not taken the oath of allegiance, and can come away."
He left the regiment and went home, and had sinte married and gone into business.
Mr. Chapman said it was a remarkable story, but it must be dealt with by the military
authorities

The
STANDARD, August 14th. To be chased by man-eaters ought to satisfy the strongest craving for excitement, inhabitants of the Solomon group are not the most amiable of savages, and add to other objectionable qualities an appetite for human flest. The Count and Countess, while cruis- ing in their own yacht, were espied too near the shore by the hungry folk on land, who saw the chance of getting "long pig," and gave chase in their war canoes. Apparently the Count had overlooked contingencies of this kind, and was unprovided with guns or rifles, for no attempt seems to have been ...made to give the visitors a fitting reception, and there was nothing to do but take to fight. No doubt, the wind was light and the savages had counted on the fact, but a stern chase is proverbially a long one, and the pursuers were eventually baffled The incident is instruc tive, as showing that, easy, as travel has be come of late years, there are quarters of the globe where the amenities of civilisation bave not yet penetrated, and disagreeable surprises await the too confiding visitor, An Indian raid offers unpleasant contingencies to those who wander far away from the beaten track in some parte of the United States; pirate Junks still lurk in Chinose estuaries; Australian natives, though peaceful enough in many districts, are ready with their spears in
