TORPEDO BOATS CREWS,
Recent Hard Experience of Men Aboard
English Craft.

English CraIIs
Rarely, if ever, have the crews Of
torpedo boats experienced a worse
time than was undergone by those Of
fcers and men who were told off to
man the four torpedo boats that were
towed from Lamlash to Plymouth
last week by the channel squadron
During the cruise just ended the
squadron took with it these boats in
order that experiments might be made
in victualling and coaling the craft
from the parent ships when at sea-
The experiments were successful, in
so far as they proved that a torpedo
boat can be furnished with supplies
from a battleship when the vessels
are under steam. A boom was rugged
out and the boats towed along at 10
knots an hour by means of a hawser
passed around the end Of the boom.
While the sea was calm it was found
comparatively easy to put all neces-
sary supplies aboard the boats with
out slackening speed. But on the voy-
age from Lambash rough weather was
experienced and the crews Of the tor
pedo boats suffered terribly. For the
greater part of the way the sea broke
continually over the tiny craft, and the
officers and men had to lash them
selves to the deck to avoid being
washed overheard. One young stoker
belonging to the boat that was in
tow Of the battleship Resolution did
meet his fate. He was lying down.
so worn out from seasickness and ex-
haustion that when the sea lifted him
he was unable to make any effort him.
| self Being clad in heavy boots and
oilskins he sank before the ships that
tried to pick him up could reach him
The speed at which the boats were
towed did much to make existence
aboard them less endurable. Instead
of riding the waves they were pulled
through them. Sleep was impossible
and when a boat broke loose, as thu
Maiestics did, the crew were so tiret
out that they could barely manage t
secure the hawser that was drifte'
back to them. To make matter
worse, the Magnifcent's boat stow
in her bows and fore compartment
became waterlogged. That these frai
craft came through as we'll as the
did is a splendid testimony to tn
courage and powers of endurance {

D." HE recent announcement that
an invention for submarine
signaling had been perfected
and was soon to be put in OPP
A Grafton on our coasts attracts
anew attention to the fact that
American inventors are still in the lead;
that, in fact. they have greatly dis
tanced all competitors. The explOita-
ten and Harvesting of that subtle
force. electric energy, which until COM
paratively recent times had puzzled sci
entists since science became a servant
of man, is due more to men of American
birth or training than to any others of
whatever nationality. Without ignor-
ing the claims of the French. Italian,
German and English scientists who have
contributed so much to the. solution of
electrical problems, especially at the
beginning, the names that stand forth
most prominently in this connection are
those which shine brightly in the an
mails Of the United States. It may be
owing to the fact that our country is a
vast storage reservoir of dormant en-
ergy which only needed the application
of intelligence-the contact of mind
with matter-to become an active factor
in the worlds development, or to the
conditions of environment here, which
are most favorable to the nurture and
expansion Of genius. Be the cause
whatever it may. the statement cannot
be gainsaid that the United States has
become the recognized home of gen
fuses, and particularly of those who
deal with the most wonderful, powerful
and elusive force known to man.
The lightnings flashed for centuries
before Franklin caught and bottled the
spark which, arrested the worlds atten-

A POCKET LEE RrIr-

French engineer. Henri Mariolla,
has devised a method of keeping a ship
from sinking entirely, no matter how
badly it may be injured in a collision.
The device consists of a number of
bags of india rubber covered with stout
canvas. These are placed separately
in pockets or depressions distributed
along the ships side a little above the
water line.
When the ship begins to sink, water
viii come into contact with the carbide
and cause brisk evolution OF acety-
lene gas This will distend the bags to
their full capacity, and the added buoy
ancy of the inflated bags viii prevent
the ship sinking more than a few feet.
And all this is to take place in a few
seconds.
The inventor has calculated that a
large ocean liner may be made unsinix-
able by $50 bags of carbide. which viii
produce about half a million gallons of
gas.
The same principle can be applied to
life belts and Jackets that will expand
the moment they come in contact with
water The inventor has constructed a
life belt that can be folded up and
placed il the pocket When placed in
water. acetylene gas is generated. ard

inflated. and it viii then support TIE

the tone of the bell was conveyed with
distinctness- On the whole. the expert
ments We're extremely satisfactory, and
from these tests a new era of warnings
to navigators viii date
Signaling bells have already been
placed in Boston harbor, and it is pur-
posed to place two in position for the
benefit of navigators of the waters in
that section, one being off Nahant and
the other off Minot's ledge both spots
celebrated in poetry as well as for ship
wrecks. These two bells, suspended
from buoys held down by mornings, will
be about IL miles apart and connected
by short cables with a power house on
shore They will ring simultaneously,
and their difference of tone will enable
a navigator to locate his position by
reference to his chart. The incoming
vessel, if equipped with a receiver, will
be warned in times of fog at a distance
of at least ten miles from Shore and by
means of averaging the sounds will be
able to steer a straight course for Bos-
ton harbor even in the thickest wealth
er- The Canadian government which
will have the honor of placing the first
bell in position from a buoy at the
mouth of the St Lawrence river, sent
the chief engineer of its department of
marine and fisheries to witness the tests
and report thereon. His report was so
favorable that the deputy minister Of
marine concluded to establish a subma-
rine signal service as soon as possible.

This is the status of this wonderful

of promise in it perhaps as wireless te-

called a variant-had when only a cou-

results. and as much as ocean telephony
had, even more recently, when Pupin
gave out his theory as to long distance
transmission through the use of his in

if parties connected with the accident
are eXonerated, they have some legal
status. There are people on the Islands
today about whom a mystery hangs

MILK

There is no doubt that there should
be sanitary inspection of the diaries.
The pens and premises of some dairy
men may be scrupulously clean, while
those of others are very poorly kept in
deed. Milk may not necessarily be
adulterated but through the careless
ness of the milkman it may be rendered
injurious as a food, and especially inju-
rious to young children with weak di-
gestive organs.
A recent sample of milk examined by
Food Inspector Shorey was found not
to be adulterated, though there were
suspicious of adulteration, but it was
found to be affected with what is known
as "viscous fermentation" This fer
mentation is brought about by a specific
germ which finds its way into the milk
through the carelessness Of the dairy
man.
Mr.. Shorey says that he has known
the whole premises and utensils of a
dairy to become infected by this fer
mentatiop to such an extent that it
could only be eradicated by thorough
cleaning and disinfection. Up to the
present Mr.. ShOrey has not seen many
cases of this kind, but unless the germ
is eradicated it will spread and we
shall all be getting "vscous fermenta-
ton" when our milk tins are filled.
The Star has strongly urged the in
spection of the dairies. This inspection
should be frequent. Many of the milk
dealers are from a class which is apt
to be careless, and nothing but a tight
hand will make these careful.
