The introduction of the megaphone on shipboard-a sort of telescope for the ear, or machine for magnifying sounds sad to be a boon Tn pros pect for mariners. Its design is to enable person to hear or carry on a conversation with people at distance. It is constructed of two huge cone shaped tubes, eight feet long and three in diameter at the large end, which diminish to an apex in the form of rubber tubes small enough to place in the ear. Between these tubes are two smaller ones, constructed in the same manner, bat not more than half the diameter. By placing the rubber tubes in the ear and speaking through the smaller cones, the person can hear and be heard at long distance, and it thus aids mariners in listening for the sound of breakers, or carrying on con- versatlon with persons on shore or on other vessels at a distance.

One of the largest advertisers in London says: "We once hit upon a novel expedIent for ascertaining over what area our advertisements were read. We published a couple of half column ads in which we purposely misstated half dozen historical facts. In less than week we received at least 400 letters from all parts of the country from people wishing to know why on earth we kept such @ consum- mate fool, who knew so little about English history. The letters kept pouring in for three or four weeks. It was one of the best paying ads we ever printed. But we did not repeat our experiment. because the one I refer to served its purpose. Our let ters came from school boys, girls, pro fessors, clergymen, school teachers, and in two instances from eminent men, who have worldwide reputa- tion. was more impressed with the value of advertising from those two advertisements than I should have been by volumes of theories"
