Nothing Is worse than fog at sea- A
storm may cause discomfort, an accident

vessel is completely shut in by dense fog.
To lessen the danger which then exists
Professor E. G. Pickering. the director Of
the Harvard college observatory, suggests
In pamphlet just received method OF
determining the position Of vessel in "a
fog, based upon the velocity of sound. IL
two fog horns of different pitch be placed
at equal distances from the middle of

sounded simultaneously at regular inter-
walls of about a minute, it will be evident

heard after one another it would be posi-.
BILE to judge from the interval between
the two how much the vessel Is out OF the
middle of the channel. For vessels pass.
ing one another Professor Pickering sug-
gests that each should whistle or blow the
horn or siren as soon as the sound is re.
oeived from the other vessel. Then IL they
are five miles apart each will whistle ev.
cry 90 seconds, and tho distance In miles
between the two vessels can always be de.
termined by dividing the interval In sec.
onds by ten.
BY placing two different fog whistles on

other at the stern, and arranging that the
sounds emitted by both should be heard
together by an observer standing at the
bow, many collisions might be prevented.

WANT FAST MAIL SERVICE.
Businessmen to Ask Its Extension to
Abilene.

A petition is being signed by the
businessmen Of the city asking the
Santa Fe when it changes time on the
Superior branch to make the new
schedule connect with the fast mail
from Kansas City. This train leaves
Kansas City at 2;4O a. M and runs to
Newton, arriving there at s a. M,
carrying only mail cars and two pas
senger cars. 1t passes Strong City
about $50 a. m. and it is asked that
the northbound passenger train be
held at Strong City until the arrival
Of that train. 1t would then reach
here with the morning papers from
Kansas City and Topeka at about 3
o'clock. The objection to the plan
will probably arise from the fact that
the through passenger trains east and
west pass Strong City about 2 to 5
o'clock in the morning and it would
necessitate a long wait for passengers
from those trains. The petition will
be sent to Santa Fe headquarters.
