NAVIGATION BY WIRELESS. DIRECTION-FINDER AS AN AID TO

Of all the scientiže nila to sufə navigation.) which the twentieth century has brought | forth Bone

Fore important HOME potentialities than the wireless direction: finder, which in the near future will be regarded as being as in- ble a navigational instrument as the compass. Briefly stated the object of the direction-finder is

is to unable vessels to ascertain their position in any weather con. dition and at short notice; in other words, to give the master of a ship eyes that can see the invisible and ears, that can detect warnings of danger above the turmoil of the eleruents.

During the war the Alaniralty utilişəyi the direction-tinder as a means of securing accurate information concerning the moves ments of enemy ships and aircraft, andas u

result of the experience gained, installations

for use in the mercantile waring are

form.

Their worth at sen

su thoroughly demonstrated that the nailer of shipping companies which have fitted their vessels with sets is steadily increasing. Nevertheless, there are a great many large passenger-carrying ships with- out this navigating nid, and in tliny event of one of these meeting with disaster in circumstances under which the ability to take wireless bearings might have saved her,. her owners would bave some awkward ques- tions to answer.

EASY TO INSTAG

The direction-finder is almost as easy to instal on board as is the listening-in set at home, and takes up no more room. Even an outside aerial is not always en- ployed, ita placo being taken by a small watertight box on the navigating bridge containing an aerial of the frame type. The of the direction finder from

antage of

seaman's point of view is that it can be used in darkness or the densest fog.

Thus the commander of a large liner reports to his owners that, with the aid of

of this device,

he has had no difficulty in bringing his ship safely

into

port under weather conditions which would otherwise have kept him out- ante. Again, vessel which was 011 24 voyage from North America to threat Britain had been unable, owing to thick weather, to obtain sights after leaving

The course was at once. altered, and when the vessel was passing Cape Race it was found that the estimate on the various wireless bearinge taken, which showed that she was likely to pass, at d' dis- tance of about eight miles, was absolutely, accurate.

LOCATION OF SON, CALLS.

It is easy to picture similar circumos- tances in which the lack of facilities for securing wireless bearings might well lend to a catastrophe. It is a simple matter for a vessel fitted with & direction-finder to locate the source of 1 $.0.S. * call. Many ships in distress are only able to give positions arrived at by ded reckoning, and a case is on record where steamer with a direction finder was able to ascertain that another which was in trouble was seventy-eight miles tom the spot she herself had indicated.

It is not perhaps generally known that the Marconi Company have a wireless lighthouse on Inchkeith Island, in the Firth of Forth. It is the first of its kind,

GERMAN DYES SCANDAL

IN U.S.A.

According to a telegram froni Wilming

the ton, Delaware,

Government has launched an attack in the Federal Court with a view to set aside the sale of a huge nataber of German dye and chemical 67. patents, worth over $100,000,000, to the Chemical Foundation of America. The sale "was made by Mr. Francis Garvan} while he was occupying the position of; |United States Alien Property Custodian. According to the Government's case, as contended by Mr. Henry Anderson, Special Assistant Attorney General, Mr. Frank Polk, who at the time of the trans action was acting as United States Secre tary of State, exceeded his authority in authorising the sale of the patents: The Government alleges that President Wil- son, when in a hurry, to sail for Paris in

1918, illegally designated Mr. Pulk as Acting President of the United States, but alleges that Mr. Polk was never "sworn in,"

Another charge is that officials of the Chemical Foundation were conniveted with the Alien Custodian's Office. This new development has created considerable sensation in trade circles, as the thou sands of German patents disposed of then are at present being successfully operated by many American business houses, Mr. Anderson, in his complaint to the Court, charged the combination of American chemical interests, including Duponts, with having misrepresented the facts and, with the aid of the Alien Pro-
