"A fog signal which is self-locating was
recently tested at Falkner island by the
United States lighthouse board. 1t con-
sists of siren driven by gas engine,
and provided with eight megaphones
pointing to the points of the compass.
Specific signals are automatically given
through each megaphonc. For instance,
if there is one long blast the signal is
north ofsthe observer, one long and one
short blast indicate that the signal is
directly east, etc. 1t has been found that
when a vessel is within half a mile Of
the apparatus the signal pointing toward
it can be heard very plainly, while the
others are scarcely audible. At dis
stances of from two to ten miles it is i'm
possible to hear any signal except those
from the megaphone pointed directly at
the observer. A modification of the ap-
paratus has been perfected for use on
board ship.

1.-THE Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch" by
Minnie Madden F>iske.

New York, Nov. 26.-"The Unwelcome
Mrs. HATCH which received it's first
production last night, takes it's name from
the woman whom Mrs. Fiske imperson-
ates, and the play relates the unhappy
story Of that woman.
She is married in girIhood to man
who does not understand or help her.
In an impulsive moment she leaves her
unhomelike home under circumstances
that seem to reflect upon her honor. The
husband divorces her and marries the
sinister woman to whose schemes her
abandonment of home was partly due.
Giving up her own name of Lormer
and assuming that of Mrs. Hatch, the
outcast wife goes to distant city and
embarks in business. Years afterwards
she hears that her daughter, whom she
was forced to leave with the father. is
about to be married in New York. De-
termined to see the girl, she goes to New
York.
All these events precede the action of
the play, which passes wholly in New
York. After q stormy interview with
her former husband she gains permission
to see the daughter, provided she does
not disclose herself The sight inspires
her to risk meeting on which there will
be no restrictions. With the assistance
Of an old servant she succeeds, and the
interview supplies the chief dramatic mo-
nent Of the play.

The question is often asked what be-
comes of the enormously expensive
yachts that are built to challenge for
and defend the Americas cup. This can
be answered by what is going on now on
two sides of the ocean. At City Island,
at the New York entrance to the Sound,
the Defender, which was the glory Of the
yachting world only few years ago, is
now being broken up. More than $780,
600 was spent upon this boat, yet she
was worthless for any purpose excep:
Americas cup races. Because of the Pc
culiar quality Of the metal used in her
construction-then. first tried and never
used since-she began to 60 to pieces
when laid up. She had finally to be So 4
for old junk. Her competitor in the
Americas cup races, the celebrated Val
kyrie ILL.,, belonging to Lord Dunraven,
is now being broken up in Scotland. She,
too, was put up and sold at auction for
junk few weeks ago, bringing hardly
more than $1,000. The earlier wooden
yachts, such as the Puritan, Volunteer
and Colonia, constructed before the pres-
emit extravagant methods were adopted,
were rehtted as cruisers and are now
afloat. 1t is the opinion of many that
such boats as the two Shamrock. the
Columbia. Constitution and Indepe-
dence will soon be worth no more than
