Then mouth number two, coming into range, will thunder the syllable "dy," followed at once by mouth number three, which will roar stone," and will be followed after a short in. terval by the fourth mouth, which would finish the message by discharging, like a cannon, the word "Light." Everyone on the deck of the steamer miles away will hear without straining their ears the name of the little speck of land and light they see, for it will come to them in a booming voice, softened by the distance.

Whistling buoys, instead of their sepulchral walls and grunts as their present method of announcing their whereabouts, could be made to say as loud as desired: "Buoy number ten,”. of "Keep to the starboard." Ships entering the harbour would obey the order and outgoing ver sals would do the reverse. There is nothing very complex or expansive in the mechanism. A diaphragm, a compressed air tank and a re- volving wheel with slots in it like the common siren whistle are all the essential paris outside of the mouth and air pump.

The possibilities of the device as an advertis- ment have been seen by French promoters, but have been discharged. by the Government. for very good reasons. 1 a huge business erected a talking machine of moderate size on top of its building and announced a 'summer salo, all conversation in every part of the town TUESDAY,

SNAIL HATING,

MILLIONS CONSUMED IN YORKSHIRE TOWNB,

Hitherto it has been commonly supposed that the virtues of the snail as an article of diet

have only been appreciated by our French

neighbours, but this is a' mistake, for in the coal mining village of Knottingley, a few miles from Wakefield, the snail appears to be so eagerly sought after as a table delicacy that anail famine is feared.

BERING WHO COULD EAT MOST. The Yorkshire miner is not extraordinarily particular what he east, and his sporting in- stincta are keen, therefore contest as to who could eat the most snails soon became popular. Other pubile bouses in the district took to making similar delicacies, and in this way con. public-housa siderabis sums were valued, one alone raising £ts a year in this way.

Once started, the taste for boiled soils developed, and now Knottingley, Brotherion, Castleford, and many other mining y llages in the district bave their population of small eaters. Interviewed as to the effect of the food upon the health of the people, one of the best known medical men in the district expressed the opinion to a Morning Leader representative that anails were not clean creatures. "But I must admit," he said, " that they do not appear to have produced any ill-affect upon the people." INDICATIONS OF À YAMINE,
