Submerged Bell Sends sound In watsz
Twelve Miles.

Submerged Bell Sends Sound In watsz
Twelve Miles.
Prof Elisha Gray of Boston sat on
river bank one day idly watching some
boys who were swimming, when an
idea occurred to him, and 1t was this:
By striking submerged bell the sound
may be heard and understood at a dis
lance of IL miles at sea. The import
ance Of this mere statement is not a.
once realized, but the discovery is
century. The loudest of steam sirens
that are used to warn vessels OF danger
in foggy weather, and which are sup
posed to sound their warnings audibly
for Is miles, at times cannot be heard
a ships length, says the Ledger Month
ly. This is due to atmospheric disturb
ances, and neither the Americans nor
the English, after years of effort, have
been able to overcome it. But there
are no water disturbances Of the same
kind. In other words, there is moth
ing under the water TO interfere with
the transmission of sound. To send
the sound, therefore, is easy; but to
receive it automatically is another
thing, and it is the receiver that is
the most important part of Prof
Gray's invention. Two ears, one on
either side of the bow of vessel, COM
municate with an apparatus in the
wheelhouse, and the vibrations of
sound coming through the water are
transmitted to a bell in the wheel
house, which rings in sympathy with
the one that is far away. striking
stroke for stroke and performing the
work instantaneously. Thus, literally.
the ship is made to hear for its own
safety. It can readily be seen how an
infinite arrangement OF numbers may
be devised by which ships may always
be informed Of their exact location,
or OF the exact location OF another
vessel that is approaching. There is
another point, also, which renders the
invention an important one; it goes
far to overcome the terrors imbued by
the creation Of the submarine torpedo
boat. A warship supplied with Prof.
Gray's invention-that is. with the
receiving apparatus-could detect in
stantly the approach of torpedo boat
while it was many miles distant. and
could therefore easily avoid it, for the
receiver both sees and hears in the
sense that it locates exactly the posi-
ton OF the sound that it records

THE RED SEA MIRACLE.
e.OIogist at oberun College verihes
Biblical Account.

GwulogHt ct Ooerun Co1ege herines a
Biblical Account.
Prof. Frederick Wright, the geUio-
gist of Oberlin College, Ohio, has Just
returned from scientific trip around
the world with data which he claims
will prove that the Biblical account
of the escape of the children Of Israel
from Egypt through the Red Sea is
literally true. The Oberlin professor
has brought with him photographs
which demonstrate that it was possible
at the time of Moses, and is possible
under certain conditions at this day.
for any humber OF people to cross the
waters referred to. His investigation,
he says, proves that the crossing place
is about twenty miles from the gen
orally accepted place. The professor
should be careful not to prove too
much. The human value of the story
of the crossing Of the Red sea de-
ponds upon the preservation OF the
miraculous character of the crossing.
The Bible gives us 20 understand that
the waters Of the Red Sea parted to
permit Gods chosen people to cross.
and closed in against their pursuers.
But if Moses simply discovered a point
in the sea at which 4 crossing could
be effected, without a suspension Of
natural laws. the much-discussed Bib
lical story loses its peculiar signif-
canoe. Skeptics have asserted that the
crossing was effected when the tide
was low. Moses. they claim, was for
tunate in reaching the point Just as
the ebb was turning to a flow. This
explanation is not only irreligious, but
improbable. 1t carries with it the
idea thst Moses had not only been
miraculousiy derelict in respect to To-
cality, but in respect to time. The
Oherlin professor proposes to prove
that the miraculous crossing the Bible
records was an actual occurrence by
demonstrating that it may be done
without miraculous Intervention at the
present time.-Ssn Francisco Bulletin.
