LOCKED A VAULT.
Handkerchief Which Czolgosz Carried
About His Hand.

Chicago, Sept. Blocked up in a
heavily barred vault in Captain Port
er's private office in the quarters occu-
pied by the United States secret serv-
ice bureau, according to Detective Gal
laher, is the handkerchief in which An
archist Czolgosz concealed his revolver

from Buffalo by Gallaher, who is at
tached to the Chicago branch of the
secret service. 1t Will be taken later
on to the trial of the assassin at Buff
falo to be used together with the
Czolgosz revolver, as evidence before
the jury which tries the case.
A study of the piece of cloth since
its receipt by Captain Porter has led
to the startling discovery that it is a
woman's handkerchief It is about ten
inches square. One of the corners Is
missing, having been burned by the ex-
ploding powder.
Just why the Chicago secret service
Office has retail the handkerchief
when all of the other articles in evil

Buffalo police is a mystery which Cap
tain Porter and Detective Gallaher re-
fuse to explain. 1t is thought the ha d.

LOG SIGNAL EXPERIMENTS.

lHTOIn the AOnQOn 1lnleS.l
Twenty-Five years ago the Trinity
House corporation, with the advice and
assistance of Professor TyndaI. carried
out some interesting experiments at
the South Foreland, near Dover, in re-
gard to the use of sound for signalling
to the mariner, to warn him of his
proximity to danger at times when fog
or other kinds of thick weather pre-
vented his seeing the land or seamarlks
by day or the guiding or warning lights
at night. The scientific aspect of the
question is fully given in the late edl-
tons of "Tyndall on Sound" and the
practical results obtained have been
shown in the large increase in the num-
Der of fog signal stations around our
coasts and the adoption OF certain IN
struments for producing sounds which
had not previously been employed in
this country.
With the lapse of time and the
growth of the coast fog signal system.
new knowledge has been gained and
new developments have taken place,
and it has become necessary to test by
practical and comparative experime IS
the value of certain theoretical I'M
provements which have from time to
time been introduced, and to endeavor
to determine some moot points which
have arisen in connection with the gen
eral question. Accordingly. spe-
cial committee of the Elder Brethren of
Trinity House was appointed, the dep
uty master being chairman, with whom
We're associated LORD tSaylGlEDs rs SCI
entific adviser, and the engineers of the
three lighthouse boards. to consider the
present position of the subject, and to
carry out such experiments as t ey
might regard as necessary. St Cath
crimes Point, in the Isle of Wight, was
selected for the trials. Here there IS
a lighthouse with a powerful electric
arc light. produced by steam power,
which also serves for COMPRISING air
into receivers for sounding a perman-
ent fog signal
At this station the committee has
now. been carrying on its work during
the last two or three weeks, obserVa-
tons being made at sea each day by
membe of the committee on board the
Trinity yacht Irene. One important
been engaged is that of the relative
merits of sirens as sound producing in
struments as compared with reeds 1t
does not seem probable that the vibra-
tons set up by means of a reed can
possibly be so powerful as those pro
duced by means of a siren. and it VIII
be interesting to learn the results OF
the committees observations on TINS
point.
The form of the trumpet or sound
protector is also receiving considerable
attention, Lord Rayleigh himself hav-
ing certain theoretical views on the
ally tested. The relative merits of
notes of different pitch, in regard to

point may result from the experiments.
