A Fair Interrogatory.
{ From Harris Weekly.


Not long ago the Weekly expressed
considerable wonder how some of the
newspapers opposing Mai. Grout could
consistently support him after his
nomination, but, with the exception
of the Middlebury Register, they have
run their arms down their threats,
turned themselves wrongside out, and
are now bowling for great majority
in September. 1t is such exhibitions
as these which have caused the peo-
pie to lose confidence in the ''disinter-
ested public spirit and mature iudg-
ment of the press. When paper howls
for three months that candidate is
utterly unfit for the Office to which he
aspires, that he is backed by rings,
and thoroughly corrupt political ele-
ment, is there any better reason why
he should be elected than there was
why he should be nominated. Will
attempt an answer to this in

A GREAT THING FOR MARINERS.
The EophOne. an Invention which Will
Enable Vessels to Navigate safely In n
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Possibly there is no greater terror
among the many met with at sea than
a fog. The helplessness of our bar
Dor boats and the clsmor Of the bells
and whistles during a heavy fog in
New York harbor give one some idea
Of this nightmare of the ocean: but
when fog closes down upon vessel
| at sea the most reckless captain pro-
ceeds cautiously and anxiouly.
The probability OF collision and
wreck due TO fog has been accepted
as sort Of unavoidable evil which
must become greater as the number
and speed of vessels increase. But the
inventive genius Of man could not let
such condition OF affairs continue
without attempting to do away with
ii, and there has been perfected lately
a simple instrument, called the
eophone, by which the direction from
which sound proceeds can be deter
mined with absolute accuracy in fog
or darkness.
The simplest description of the in.
strumeDt is that it consists Of two
bell mounted sound receivers, sep
arated by central diaphragm. The
two ears, and when pointed directly at
source OF sound, the noise is the same
in each ear. When turned away the
sound is heard in only one ear.
On shipboard the sounds catch IN
and divide in part Of the instrument
extends above the top of the chart
house and the instrument made
turned from below 10 point in any
desired direction. The eophone has
mary points for which numerous ex
periments, lasting over several years, !
have been required, in order To deter |
mine the best form, especially with |
the sounding tubes and ear pieces.
Various retinements such as micro
phones and devices adding to the com
plication, but not improving the use,
have been eliminated.
To illustrate the character of the
trials which have been made with the
eopbone, one was placed on the light
house tender Lilac, and in dense fog
a whistling buoy was picked up at
distance OF mile and its direction in
dicated correctly, although every effort
Was made to confuse the observer by
a change of course. Ordinarily there
is great difficulty in picking upa
Whlstllng buoy IN fog
Another test, showing the merits of
he eophone in striking way, was
made by blind folding the observer
md then chasing another vessel by
sounds of its whistle. the vessel pur-
'ued doubling and twisting in every
possible way. No difficulty whatever
vas found in following the vessel un-
Ter such circumstances. Spar buoys
IAN be picked up from the echo of the
)oat's whistle. {
A vessel running close TO land would
get the echo from her own whistle in {
Ease there were hills or tall houses.
On dark nights the ripple of oars OF
he slight noise of torpedo boat
you'd be accurately located by the

Gets S1I.OOO for Hts Gloucester story.


Edward X. Bok's Syndicate Letter. J
The chief gossip centres around a
manuscript, now in London, which
came here from America. although by
an English writer. This is Rudyard
Kipling's new American novel, in
which he portrays the Gloucester fish
err folk OF our Massachusetts coast
Kipling sends his manuscripts TO his
literary agent here and they are sold
from LONDON. In this way he is re
lieved OF the business end of his work,
and oft times secures better prices than
il he were to conduct the negotiations
himself. His only cost for this is ten
per cent of the price obtained for a
manuscript, which is really cheap for
the service given. So far az America
is concerned, the new novel has been
secured for serial publication by Nc
Clure's Magazine, which will be in
the work so soon as IT completes An
thony Hopes novel, "Phrcso. Where
the novel will be published in Eng
land has not yet been decided, al
though it is likely that arrangements
will be perfected almost any day. The
English editors are inclined to be
rather cautious Of the manuscript of
Kipling's. They are as yet unwilling TO
believe that he can write long novel;
for getting, in this feeling,
that his previous long story, The
Light That Failed" was, in many re
spects, considerable success. But
the English editor and publisher likes
to think over his bargain before he en-
tiers upon it. Then, too, Kiplings
price rate scares him eff. The price
for the serial rights of this novel of
30, 600, words calls for an outlay of 90
cents per word, or about ST. 900 for
the manuscript. This is divided be-
tween the English magazine and the
A merican periodical publishing the
story. The English end means about
$500. and this is very large amount
in the eyes of British editor to pay
ior story. But Kipling is man who
.an afford to stick to his price, and
gets it even from his con-
sentative countrymen.
