GAS AND BELL BUOY.
Will Burn Three Months and
Can BE Seen Six Miles.

Remarkably effective as an aid to
navigation is a gas buoy which at the
same time is a bell buoy. 1t is like
ly to play an important part in the
protection of the shipping of this
port, as well as being a most i'm
portant factor in increasing and de-
veloping the commerce of New York.
This is so because through the proper
use of these buoys this harbor could
be made navigable at any hour, at low
tide as well as when the tide is full,
while fogs and thick and stormy wealth.
er would no longer be a bar to the
free and expeditions entry of ships
of all tonnage.
The height of the buoy over all is 1s
feet. From the water line to the focal
plane it measures ten feet six inches,
and the diameter of the body of the
buoy is seven feet, the total weight
being CISCO pounds. The body of the
buoy forms the receiver for the COM
pressed gas, and is of sufficient size
to give proper buoyancy for fiotation

NEW POSTAL CHECK SYSTEM.
Its Introduction Is Viewed with Fa.
vOr by Many of the Post Office
Attaches.

The proposal to use post check
money as a convenient method of
making payments through the mails
is received with much favor by off
cials of the postal department. The
simplicity of the system commends it.
self to them. and they believe that
it would prove popular with the pub
lie. Advocates of the post check
money declare that it would almost do
away with the present money order
system Such prospect is not viewed
with displeasure by officials, for the
money order service has not only
proven cumbersome, but it has been
run at loss to the government, says
the Washington Times.
The post check money plan would
involve a reissue of all the paper cur
rency now issued by the government
in denominations of ten dollars or
less. 1t would provide for having
blanks left on the face of each note,
in which the name and the address
of the payee could be filed. So long
as these blanks were left vacant the
bill would be merely an ordinary
piece of currency, payable to the
bearer. Suppose, however, that a per-
son wished to send five dollars
through the mails in payment of some
bill. By taking one of the fve-dollar
notes from his pocket and filing the
blanks with the name and address of
the payee he would convert it into a
check on the treasury of the United
States. By way of paying the fee for
the service it is proposed that the
sender be required to affiX to the
check a two-cent postage stamp, and
cancel it in the same way that internal
revenue stamps are Cancelled. The
note, transformed into a check, could
then be sent by letter to it's destina-
ton. The receiver, by taking it to
the nearest post office, could get it
cashed at par. The check would be
payable to no one but the person
named on it, or his order, and post
masters would require Identification
in the same way that they now re-
quire it from persons presenting
money orders. After having been paid
the note would be destroyed by the
government, which would be author
lied to reissue a nev one in the same
fashion as is in vogue for reissuing
mutilated currency.
The scheme is proposed as a decided
convenience to all classes of people
The notes would circulate from hand
to hand as freely as they do at pres
ent until needed for making a pay
mSnt by mail. Then, by filling in the
name of the addressee, the bill be-
comes a check payable only to the
proper person or his order.
The system was invented by c. w.
Post, Battle Creek (Mich.) man. who
has been widely identified with grain
foods. He secured the introduction
of a bill in congress during the last
days of the past session, but it was
not put through, and in fact received
little attention.

WORK FOR THE BLIND.
Giving Massage Treatment to In.
valids Is a New Avenue of Em-
plOyment Just Opened.

The occupations which can be under
taken by the blind with any hope or
prospect of being remunerative and of
enabling them to contribute to their
own support are unfortunately few in
number. Brush making, mattress max
ing, basket making, bookbinding and
piano tuning almost complete the list
for the less intelligent; tutorial work
is occasionally undertaken There is
restricted field open to those who have
sufficient ability to qualify themselves
for the post of organist. We are in
formed that a small committee of gen.
tlemen and ladies who are interested
in the welfare of the blind have resolved
at some cost to themselves to make an
effort, which they trust will receive
the favorable support of the profession,
to introduce new industry for those
who are so unfortunate as to have lost
their sight. 1t is that of massage.
1t is said that it has been found by
actual experience that massage as per-
formed by blind people can be as eff
GENTLY practiced as by those who see,
and that their delicacy of touch and
intelligent manipulation have been
fully appreciated by those placed under
their care. 1t is proposed, if funds will
allow, that rooms should be taken in
some central situation, under the con-
troll of a matron, who should be in COM
munication with certain number of
thoroughly educated blind masseurs
and masseuses. To these rooms physi-
clans and surgeons could send their pa
tients, or, if it were preferred, from
this center, as in the case of other nurs-
ing establishments, a male or fema.e
blind expert could be sent into the
country. The blind are clever in maxi
ing their way about, and it is not ap-
pretended that any difficulty will be
experienced in enabling them to reach
their Observation-Disclosures Lancet.

INSULATION FOR WIRES.
Ice Is Used on Mont Blanc Telegraph
Line in Place of Posts and
Glass InsuIatOrs.

It is matter not simply of con-
venience, but of vital importance, that
observatories situated on the tops of
high mountains should be able to keep
up constant telegraphic communica-
tion with stations at a lower level.
Storms often rage for days and weeks
at high attitudes, with such violence as
to defeat al attempts at reaching the
observers; telegraph posts are swept
down by bowling winds and buried un-
der masses of snow, while the wires
themselves frequently give way under
the severity of the strain.
Realizing these difficulties, the au-
thorities of Mont Blanc wisely be-
thought themselves of inquiring wheth-
er the ice which perennially covers the
slopes of the mountain might not pos
sess sufficient insulating power to re-
pace both telegraph posts and porce-
lain insulators.
To ascertain this some interesting ex-
periments were made by R. Lespian at
the request of DR.. Jansen. the head of
the observatory. A double line was laid
bCtNCCh luC vi anus AultlS II tIlC SulIl-
init and the peculiar mass of rocks
known as the Petits Mulets, near the
base. Ordinary galvanized iron an
eighth of an inch thick in diameter was
used. 1t was stretched bare on the
ice, the two conductors. each of $500
feet in length. lying about 16 feet apart.
For the purpose of testing the in
suiation of the line the two wires were
left disconnected at the lower station,
while at the upper they were placed in
circuit with a delicate ammeter and
battery of 1s large Leclanche cells.
On pressing down the key the needle
of the ammeter did not move at all, but
remained steadily at its zero.
The ends of the wires at the lower
station were then pinned together. and
when the battery was reduced to three
cells the needle flew at once over the
limit of the scale and remained there,
pointing to so milliamperes. These two
measurements clearly indicated that
the insulation of the line was excellent.

FOR FOG AND NIGHT SIGNALS.

and of adequate strength to safely
hold a pressure of $50 to 180 pounds
per square inch.
On top of the body is a wrought iron
tower about six feet high. surmount-
ing which is a lantern. Surrounding
the lantern is cage for protecting it,
and the tower is provided with plat
form on which to stand to light or ad-
Just the flame.
Just below the platform is suspend
ed bell weighing 1855 pounds. The
bell is sounded automatically every 20
or 30 seconds, or indeed at regular in
tervals of any duration, all of which
may be predetermined. The flow of
the gas from the receiver to the lam
tern furnishes the means of operating
the bell. Thus a reliable sounding Of
the bell warning is secured without
any dependence upon the action of the
waters, as is the case with the old
fashioned bell buoys.
The advantages of these buoys can
be easily understood, for they not only
furnish fixed or flashing light, that
can be seen distance of between six
and eight miles, but operate in COM
bination, and most successfully, bell,
thus atfording double protection to
mariners. These buoys will burn con-
tinuously day and night, from three
months to one year, with one charge
of gas and NAV be rented for about
so cents day, including the cost of
gas. Buoys of this type without the
bell attachment are used very largely
by all the civilized nations of the
world, and are officially recommended.
