WARNS SHIPS OF DANGER.
Remarkable Device which May Re
suit In Great Saving of Life.

An invention which, If it may not go
some way toward making lighthouses
obsolete. is expected to be of much
value in the prevention OF shipwrecks
was shown the other day at Southend-
On-Sea, near London. before the marine
authorities and navigatOrs.
They were all much struck by the
possibilities OF the invention. 1t is an
automatic system of signaling and will
warn ships OF their approach to dan
gerous rocks and coasts in all wealth
ers. when a flashing light might not be
seen and the boom of the fog horn
might be unheard, says the New York
Herald. 4 metallic conductor is fixed
on an elevation ashore or a llghtship
or 4 reef or a lighthouse. From this
aetheric waves are transmitted over a
zone which has a radius OF seven miles.
All vessels within that area fitted with
receivers are warned of their proXim-
ity 10 danger. \ bell rings, and the re-
cciving instrument records the name OF
the place which is being approached.
The automatic part of the machine
consists OF steel bearings, with q num-
ber Of teeth which pass over q Morse
transmitter. No operators are needed
at all. The machine works automatic
ally. In its elementary principle the
system resembles MarcOni's wireless
telcgraphy. but in detail the system is
essentially different.
a syndicate is already taking up the
invention, which will shortly be put
on the market.

And SO the lease was executed on the

carried out his contract.

Sheedy. Il made up my mind 10 do 1t

the chappies could eat and drink was
a sight for the gods. Pate de fois

essentials. We couldn't think of drink

And there was no way on earth TO beat

anything the crowd wouldn't come.
and II you didn't get the crowd you
didn't get the play. But l fixed EN-

room to get TO the ball or the supper,
ard they had to come back the same
way to go home. and it was amazing
how liberal l got with the c,lauI agne

"It reduced the percentage of the

If the crowd was large enough. But on
the whole season the game didn't av-

and Mr. Turner. At one point the witness
/ said:

Il want you to be clear to the jury

II think the jury can understand me-"
II hope they can, and III try TO-" said
| Mr. Turner.
The witriess declined to testify as to tho
various forms OF epileptic disease.

in seizure il to let him alone. Any at

way will result in an outbreak OF great
violence He will break furniture and re-
sist every effort TO control him"
The witness said there was a maxim in
insane hospitals which forbade the con
tradictions OF epileptics, but that when
not nearing Il seizure, they were usually
the nest tractable Of patients. Also that
epilepsy and other diseases were not in
compatible in the same man at the same
time. and that the disease might exist for
long time and not be recognized.
Heredity and consanEuineous marriages
were gone into. the witness saying that the
former case predisposed the subject 10 its
heritage, and in the latter case degeneracy
might be looked for. although not OF recess

witness was asked il in the event Of an
injury TO the right side OF the skull and
an atrophied left side of the body, he
would attribute it to tie infringement of
the fractured skull on the brain.
We'll replied the witness. you have
the best of the argument right along. but
my professional opinion is that there was
no paralysis
The witness refused TO describe the di-
meusuns OF the motor area OF the BRAIN
and Mr.. Turner endeavored TO make him
contribute TO the overthrow of the testi-
mony Of DR.. Shute, who had testified that
the fr9cture was within ORe-twelfth of an
inch from the motor area.
The doctor did not like the examination,
aud said:
IF you wish you may put ar expert on
the stand. don't know anything about
these things you ara on now"
Why, doctor, | thought you were an eX-
pert, and am seeking knoRledge
A civil service Examination.
IL looks to me more like a civil service
examination"
The long hypothetical question of the
defence was put and the doctor was asked
if. in his opinion. under the cireuma tanees
noted. the person assumed in the case was
sane or an insane man.
Il would say that the insanity is not
made out. There is no symptom present
save the commission of the crime"
Then to what do you attribute all these
symBtoms?''
ITO dentition, 20 indigestion, to alco-
holism. and other things
He was then asked II he preferred to
attribute his commissions to the causes he
had named rather than to pressure on the
skull. and he replied that either " the
causes named by Mr.. Turner or himself
might be responsible He admitted thai
