An electrical shoal water indicator
has been devised by two Mexican inyen-
tors. 1t consists of strong cylinder
filled with shot. so that when hung BY
cable from ship it will remain per.
fectly upright in the water. Embedded
in its center is glass or vulcanite tube
half full of mercury, the two ends being
closed by metallic plates, which are in
communication by insulated wires car
ried by the cable, with an electric bat
terry and bell on the deck Of the ship
The action of the apparatus lisa follows
When the vessel approaches shallow
water the cylinder drags on the ground
below, and is consequently no Longer
upright, but is thrown on its side. Ihl'
causes the mercury in the tube to touch
both the metallic plates attached to thai
tube, as above explained; the electrical
circuit thus becomes complete, and tns
warning bell on the ship instantly rings
