Magnet Search For Lusitania

NEW EQUIPMENT TO EXPLORE SEA-BED

Swansea, Oct. 1.

Efforts to locate the resting

place of the torpedoed Luisitania off the south of Ireland are being redoubled by the Arganout Salvage Corpora-

tion.

The salvage vessel Orphir, which has been lying in the Prince of Wales Dock, Swansea, has taken on board equipment specially designed to assist in. the search. Capt. Russell is con- fident that success will come within the next few weeks.

The Orphir will snil to-morrow to resume the search off the Old Head of Kinsale with a set of for pedo electric magnets designed by Mr. Malcolm M. Irvine, of Glas

gow.

These magnets will be trailed at the end of steel cables from booms on either side of the vessel when she is searching. It is claimed that the instant they drag over a wreck they will be attracted to the metal hall, and an electric impulse will be transmitted to an'apparatus on the bridge of the Orphir.

The ringing of an electrice-bell- will signal that contact has been made with a wreck,

By noting the length of the time the bell is ringing, and observing the ship's speed at that moment, the length of the hulk over which the magnet is being dragged can bo cal- culated,

The lamp unit consists of a clus- ter of five lamps, each of 4,000 candle power. This lighting system, which has never been used before, has also been specially designed by Mr. Irvine for the salvage of the Lustania. The lamps will provide ample light for the diver working in the "iron man" in finding: his

NEW CONTINENTS TO REPLACE OLD

Norwich, Oct. 1.

DYING continents, the eternal enigma of the Earth's

nge, how science has explored the secrets of countless millions of years ago, and the most wonderful thing in the known universe-man's brain-were some of the subjects discussed at the British Association conference here,

A crowded audience listened to a scientist's specula- tion on the dying and rising of continents, the new birth and continual reshaping of the world.

Professor W. W. Watts, this year's president of the Association, whose address dealt with the reshaping of the world through countless ages, is Emeritus Professor of Geology at the Imperial College, South Kensington, and a geologist of international reputation.
