means of vessels communicating with

of the passenger steamships have
dynamo engines, and are electrically
lighted. Suppose, for instance, one Of
them should trail wire a mile long. or
any length, which is connected with
tie dynamo engine and electrically
charged. The wire would practically
have a ground connection by trailing in
the water, al least the result would be
the same. Suppose YOU attach tele-
phone to the end on board of a ship

half of the wire. If your wire is one
mile long. there is then large area of
water about the ship which is affected
positively or negatively by the dynamo
engine and the electrically charged
wire. 1t will be impossible for any ship
or object to approach within the water
so charged in relation to your ship,
without the telephone telling the whole
story to the listening ear. Now, if q
ship coming in this area also has
similar apparatus, the two vessels can
communicate with each other by their
telephones. If they are enveloped in 4
fog, they can keep out of each Others
way. The ship having the telephone
can detect other ships in it, track. and

The LAW nfkInIness.

Let a friend of children. who has
reached the age of three-score years

of Kindness as applied to all living
things. My early impressions in

brother, who taught ne 10 apply the
golden rule to the lover orders of
