SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

IMPROVED TELEGRAPHY,

The

The Jobuson-Varley method of trans- mitting cable and wireless mossages do pends on the property of thin metallic strips or reeds of vibrating in unison when their note is the same, but of re- maining quiet in the presence of other vibrations. Combining a number of these reeds, each with its own coil, and having a corresponding-receiver at the other end, it is made possible to send each letter, figure or other character with a single impulse--instead of requiring several im- pulses, as in the Morse system. transmission-is-by-high-tension currout of small quantity, and the usual charging of the cables with static electricity is avoid- ed. A number of different instruments can be operated simultaneously over the same cable, as the impulses do not inter- fore with those of different tuning. The application of the principle to wireless telegraphy is said to make practicable an ingenious receiver to be used independent- ly for three different sets of vibrations, or tanings, so that it may pick up (1) general messages of the telegraphic sys tem, (2) semi-private messages intended only for a certain number of stations, and (3) secret messages, which are receivable only by the special instrument in tune with the transmitter.

AN ISLAND'S WIND:

The trade winds in Porto Rico are found by Dr. O. L.. Fassig, of the United States Weather Bureau, to form a cur rent not more than 10,000 feet deep-a conclusion based on movements of the clouds. Hourly observations for ten: years have shown a prevailing direction of the wind from north-east to south-west during 77 per cent. of the year, or 281 days, and from the south during 14 per cent., or 51 days. The average hourly wind velocity for the year is 11 miles; the

NEW BOARD OF TRADE.COMMITTEE. One satisfactory outcome of the Titanic disaster, says & London paper, is the ap pointment, announced by the President of the Board of Trade, of a technical com mittee to advise him, in the interests of safety of life at sex, with regard to the internal sub-division of vessels of all classes by watertight bulkheads and other

means.

The reference to the committee is to ad- vise—...

(1) As to what, in their opinion, would constitute efficient sub-division with regard to each of the classes of vessels included in the rules for life- saving appliances made by the Board of Trade, under Section 427 of the Mer- chant Shipping Act, 1694, having due regard to the nature of the service in which they are respectively engaged.

(2) Whether, independently of the foregoing, the committee desire to make any recommendations with reference to the sub-division of vessels already built. or of new vessels, which would, in their opinion, contribute to the safety of life

at sea.

The Committe is constituted as follows: Archibald Denny, LL.D., of Messrs.

William Deogy and Brothers, Dum- barton, naval architect (Chairman). James Bain, late superintendent engine-

of the Cunard Line, engineer. H. R. Champness, M.V.O., Assistant Director of Naval Construction, Admiralty.
