sUB-ocEAN DANGER SIGNAL.
Submerged Bell Sends sound In Wates
Twelve Miles.

/ Submerged Bell Sends sound In Watea
Twelve Miles.
Prof. Elisha Gray Of Boston sat on a
river bank one day idly watching some
boys who were swimming, when an
idea occurred to him, and it was this:
By striking a submerged bell the sound
may be heard and understood at dis
lance of IL miles at sea- The import
ance Of this mere statement is not at
once realized, but the discovery is
really one Of the most vital Of the new
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
ships length, says the Ledger Month
~ 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
Grays 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 it's 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 a 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.
Geologist at Oberlln College verifes a

Biblical Account.
Prof. Frederick Wright, the geolo-
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 Oh 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 10 understand that
the waters Ct 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 {; crossing could
be effected, without a suspension of
natural laws, the much-discussed Bib
lical story loses its peculiar signifi-
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 flow. This
explanation is not only irreligious, but
improbable. It carries with it the
idea th-t Moses had not only been
miraculousiy derelict in respect to To-
cality, but in respect to time. The
Ol'erlin professor proposes to prove
that the miraculous crossing the Bible
records was an actual occurrence by
demonstrating that it may be done
without mira culeus Intervention at the
| present time.-Sac Francisco Bulletin.

VALUABLE GRoSBEAK EGGS.
81 Each Received by Lad Who Caugh
Some of the Birds.


Some of the Birds.
= Last February, when the tempera-
ture held at zero for a week at a time
and the snow was falling every other
day, Hector sanborn, aged Is, set horse
hair snares about his home and caught
more than two dozen pine grosbeaks,
says the Dexter, Me-, correspondent Of
the New York Sun. Most of them We're
females. He kept the birds in a large
open and well-lighted room at the rear
Of the barn and fed them on seeds and
refuse fruit. While the weather con-
tinued cold the birds were. mostly
healthy and took kindly to the new
way of life, becoming fat and frisky
with nothing to do but eat and sleep.
In March several pairs mated, built
nests and began to lay eggs, and by
April 1 the boy had secured "a fine
specimens. Then the spring weather
came and caused the birds to have
commissions, from which nearly one
half died. Finding that he would be
unable to keep his pets through the
summer young Sanborn liberated the
survivors, allowing them to go north
and seek more congenial temperature.
Last week the boy received an offer of
81 each for every pine grosbeak egg
he could spare. He at once shipped
thirty to the Boston naturalist who
wished to complete collection of rare
eggs, and two days ago he received a
check for $12O. If next winter proves
to be cold enough to drive the egros-
beakss Maine the boy can see a big
fortune on easy terms.

Back From Butte City.

Will Smith, a former Gold Hill boy, is
back on the Comstock from Butte City.
He says that the outlook in the Montana
metropolis is far from encouraging.
Thousands have left, or are leaving
Butte, and jobs in the mines are scarcer
than hens teeth.
The shutting down or reduction OF the
force OF employees in so many Butte
City mines is thought by many to be
part OF a deep laid scheme of the Anal.
gamated Copper Company, which really
means Rockefeller and the Standard Oil
Company, to depress the price of copper
for stock manipulation purposes-some-
thing they have been working at for
months.
But there are Others who insist that
the glory is departing from Butte as one
Of the greatest mining camps in the
world, and who assert that her marvell-
Gus stores of copper are petering out.
When Butte was first located it was as a
great silver proposition. As the mines
attained depth, copper was found In
such quantities as to make it even a
greater copper than it had been a silver
mining plant. 1t is persistently stated
now that another wonderf | change is
taking place, and the copper is giving
place to iron. If these rumors are sub
stantially correct, the days Of Butte City
have begun to be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
