Underwater Signaling.
From Golfers Weekly.


The cause of three-fourths of the ship
wrecks and loss of life at sea seems about
to be removed. It lis not wire or even the
air. but the water this time that is used to
transmit sound vibrations. For some weeks
there has been installed on the steamers Of
the Metropolitan Company of Boston an ap-
paratus which may yet make 1t possible for
the vessel beating about the coast In a
storm to know where the rocks and shoals
are when the fog will not permit the light
to be seen and the noise of the wind browns
the sound of the bell-buoy or the siren; for
a battleship to know of the approach Of q
submarine, and a fishing smack of the ap-
proach of liner off the banks of New
foundland
The apparatus is extremely simple. It
amounts to nothing more or less than ring
ing a bell under water which the pilot or
captain can hear telephonically. Screwed
on both sides Of the vessels huh are two
receivers, which are connected by wires
with the wheelhouse, These receive the VI
brations from the bell hanging in the water
on the side of the lightship. The navigator
has only to put the eaFpiece to his ear and
the louder, In order to know the direction
of the lighthouse and his own position IN
the fog with comparative accuracy. For
fishing vessels ball receiver has been pro-
vided, and this Is used also to get more delft
cate intonations aboard a steel vessel The
test recently when the steamer James 8.
w hftney WAS approaching the Boston light
ship on her return from New York. The
lighthouse was obscured by rain and fog
Thanks to the signal apparatus. the captain
Immediately heard the bell and got his d.
rection. 1t was not until five minutes after
that he heard the lightships whistle for the
first time

The Common Man.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

nfoiA Tue brOOklyu Eagle.
In the rise of the common man politica1
liberty has it's justification. And the COM
mon man in this country is rising ever
higher. He has been to the public school
the best OF schools II only for the ASSOC
citation with children OF the commoner and
the breaking down OF the absurdities and
affectations of caste; he has the best Of
wages: he has a larger, cleaner brighter
better home than any other; he has va riet "
In his food; he takes a neWspaper and a
magazine. and reads a book once in q
while: he goes to concerts and the theater.
he attends church or lecture OCCASION
ally; he has society. which may nut. on
airs. or may devote itself to plain nlea-
sures without them, and he has money In
the bank.
It is believed that the common man in
America Is better acquainted with money
than his fathers were. or than the com
mon men of any other country. This does
not mean that he Is rich. but that he has
an appreciation Of the uses Of money and
Is growing wise In respect OF safeguards
and investment. It used to be supposed
for example. that no man but millionaire
could own a country home It was an alb
surd superstition. because, now, although
land values are higher, thousands OF COM
mon men own places in the countryside
farm houses, perhaps. little cabins or
mere camps and shacks, with few feet
a few acres of ground about them, but
whether feet or acres, a little kingdom
where one enjoys his sovereignty as COM
pletely as If he We're a Vanderbilt with a.
county spread about him. This growth
OF summer homes may. and, it is hoped,
will. Offset the tendency to mass into the
cities and live in tenements. It will at
least prove of life-saving value to the
children.

The golfer and the caddie put off in chase,
the caddie cursng in fluid Arabic Then.
to the delight of the golfer, the crow drop
ped the ball on the green, and he hofed out
in two strokes, which put Colonel Bogey
out of commission The opponent was
threatened with apoplexy. AS in the case

ball under his jersey. there was every kind

The Chinese have demonstrated unknnw-
ingly. great psychological or psychopath-
olcgical fact. A patient of mine had re-
ceived the last rites of the church, the pulse
had ceased at the wrist and he had sunk
into that coma which precedes death. Some
one in the next house struck up the Anvil
Chorus from III Trovatore." l was very
much annoyed and distressed. and tried to
stop 1t. Suddenly the pulsation at the wrist
began again. the patient gradually opened
his eyes, motioned to his sister. She bent
low and he whispered in her ear, TIE dunn
te dea. that is my favorite tune" says he.
We reused him. fed him, and today. zen
years after the event. he weighs 24e pounds.
The therapeutics Of vibration or noise is
yet to be written. So l have discovered
that anything that can arouse the subcon-
scious subliminal self will cure my patient
when all drugs fail. and noise is very
cheap agent.

English Authors in Germany
From the London Academy

In very Interesting article in, the Frank
furter-Zeitung. DIR. Max Meyerfeld of Ber-
lin shows what contemporary English au-
thors are known and read in Germany to-
day and also points out what English con-
temporary authors Germans neglect to read
The authors most read are: Kipling. Je-
rome X. Jerome. Oscar Wilde and Bernard
Shaw. The authors neglected or unknown
and whom DIR. Meyerneld considers the
letters are: Messrs Swinburne. Meredith.
Hardy. Gissing, George Moore, W. B. Yeats,
Hewlett and A. e. w. Mason. 1t Is very
curious thing how often in foreign lands
an EnElishman finds the lesser literary
as demigods. Does the foreigner see some
thing in the men that II obscured for US?
Or does distance lend enchantment to the
view?
