A MARINE INVENTION.

It Is Expected to Give Warning When
 Shallow Water Is at Hand.
 A new sounding apparatus has been invented in England for which several advantages arc claimed. The machine says the Albany Argus, is intended to serve not only as reliable means of sounding, but also as submarine sentry, giving warning when any par ticular depth of water is reached. The apparatus comprises a winch with in- dicators, etc, and wooden sinlzer, the latter being the essence of the inven- ton. Practically this sinller is a wooden kite reversed. and is so adjusted in weight and shape that it sinks when lowed through water, and always re- mains at any given depth, without any regard to the change of speed of the ship. The depth being arranged at that which will be perfectly safe, whenever bottom is reached at that depth the machine may be so arranged us to automatically sound steam whistle or bell or give notice to the pilot in some other way that the ship is approaching dangerous water. The invention, it is said, has been subjected to prolonged tests and proven to be perfectly practical and re. liable.

The Bennett & Moulton comic opera company opened their weeks engage ment at the opera house last night be- fore crowded house. The leading fe- male members of the cast are new this year, indeed there are only one or two familiar faces among them. Miss Ethel Vincent, Miss Mamie Scott and Miss Marie Dressler now sustain the leading roles. Neither had much to do as test of vocal capability last night, except Miss Scott, who is diminutivS figure. Both she and Miss Vincent sung well, and eX- hibited a pleasing tone quality. Miss Dressler sustained a difficult role very cleverly. Three old favorites were there Joe Armand, Arthur Wooley and quite an enthusiastic welcome. His voice seems as sweet as ever, though there will be better opportunity of judging tonight when he has some beautiful work in the "Beggar Student. '' Wooley and Wolff took care of the funny business and they took care of it well-too well sometimes. In fact that is the only obs, e ,tion to either of them. The chorus was of good strength and evenly balanced and the costumes were pretty. Tonight the "Beggar Student will be given and there is not a prettiel opera in the companys repertoire.
