RECENT SHIPPING DISASTERS.

IL is suggested that, as precaution
against disasters such as that which
happened TO the Mohegan on the Man
acles Rocks, Cornwall, some legisla-
ton might be advisable which would
compel owners of vessels to supply
two sets of charts, one for the captain
and the other for the officers use, maxi
ing it the duty of the officer on the
watch to lay the bearings down on the
chart, and the true course that the ship
is steering; also, that some such system
as is now adopted by the Atlantic
Transport Company should be followed.
where by their regulations the course
is TO be set by the Junior officer on
watch. afterwards approved or altered
by the senior officer on watch, and
finally by the CAPTAIN. This still
leaves the responsibility of the course
on the captain. the object of the regu-
lation being to prevent any hesitation
in regard to the alteration of course
which is observed to be wrong.

To visit the sugar company's

steel structure of the main building;
the most complete machine shop;
the forests of lumber used in the
construction Of the beet sheds is
encouraging to the average citizen,
but that which makes the heart
glad is to take drive and view the
beets growing. Farmers who a
few months ago wanted a bonus
for raising a few acres Of beets.

a NEW INVENTION.

Quite An interesting trial Of the o. G.
Patton Self Registering Water Gauge
was made yesterday afternoon at the
Struthers ranch, south OF the city by
delegation composed OF o. @. Patton
the patentee, Alexander Struthers, Al
dsrman Jack Broemser, John Knot, T.
r. Sullivan and representative Of the
Sentinel.
Tho machine was placed in an irriRa-
ton ditch and started promptly at 6:45
p. m.
This is something new In its line. 1t
registers the amount OF water in the
ditch at all times and registers when
any water il taken out of the ditch and
gives the time.
The self registering gauge il run by
an eight day clock which has tally
sheet in large roll form, 24O feet long,
and 10 drawn through the machine at
the rate of one inch an hour.
The register sheet is blocked of in
lines lengthwise and crosswise. The
lines crosswise are one inch apart, in
heavy lines there being fine limos for
each fifteen minutes. Lengthwise the
lines are one eighth Of an inch apart.
Tho float bar stands perpendicular
through tho machine. with a float at
tached to the bottom end which rides on
the water. In connection with the float
bar there is horizontal pencil bar which
registers tho fuctuation of the water at
all times.
Mr.. Patton also has an electric attach
ment to this machine with an alarm that
may be placed in the house and may be
adjusted to ring the alarm, which 10 con-
nected with the float bar, at any distance
between one zach and ono foot. The
object Of this attachment 10 in case tbs
ditch should brake or the water be low
cred from any cause the aoat bar would
drop and ring the alarm.
o. O. Patton is brakeman on the D.
Il r. G. and il quite an inventive genius.
He has patent pending on a car coup
Ter at tho present time which il pro-
nounced by those who have seen il in
operation to BE- one OF the best yet in
vented.
Tho water register 10 being run today
and results Of its workings will be noted
at later date.
