BELLS RUNG BY FoG.-We believe there are
several points on our northern coast and in other
parts OF the world where what are termed fog
bells are now in operation, for the purpose Of
shore. The idea OF bells being rung by fog, how
ever, is so singular, as to require explanation
of the mechanism employed. The apparatus
which rings the bell is wound up and detained
in a wound state by lever extending from the
machinery into the open air. To the end of this
lever is affixed large sponge, which absorbs the
moisture from the fog and by becoming heavy
settles down the lever, lets the machinery free,
and thus rings the bell. A cover is placed just
above the sponge to prevent absorption OF rain.
