Signalling Under Water.

The cause of three-fourths of the ship.
wrecks and loss of life at sea seems about
to be removed. 1t is 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 Com
pany OF Boston an apparatus which may
yet make it possible for the vessel beat
ing about the coast in 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 a
submarine and 6shing-smack OF the
approach of liner off the Banks OF New
foundland.
The apparatus is extremely simple. 1t
amounts to nothing more or less than
ringing a bell under water, which the
pilot or captain can hear telephonicaily
Screwed on both sides of the vessels hull
are two receivers, which are connected by
| wires with the wheel. house. These re-
ceive the vibrations from the bell hang
ing in the water on the side of the light
ship. The navigator has only to put the
ear. piece to his ear and ascertain or
which side the vibrations are the louder
in order to know the direction OF tht
lighthouse and his own position in th'
fog with comparative accuracy.
For fishing vessels ball receiver hal
been provided, and this is used also tt
get more delicate intonations aboard {
steel vessel. The value OF the apparatu
was put to good test recently when tn
steamer James S. Whitney was approach
ing the Boston ightship on her return
from New York. The lighthouse wa
obscured by rain and fog. Thanks tt
the signal apparatus, the captain imme
diately heard the bell aud got his direc
ton. 1t was not until five minutes afte
that he heard the lightship's whistle 10

Catarrh Cured Without Drugs

Hyomei Medicates the Air You Breathe,
Kills the Germs and Cures the Dis
ease.
Hyomei cures catarrh thoroughly and
permanently, because it reaches the
smallest air cells in the head, throat and
lungs, kills the germs causing the disease
and drives it from the system. Hyomei
goes to the root of the disease, destroys
the cause, and makes permanent cures
which can be effected in no other way.
Breathe it for few minutes four times a
day and benefit will be seen at once.
Continue this treatment for few weeks
and Hyomei will have cured you.
The Hyomei breathed through the neat
pocket inhaler furnished with each outfit
mingles with the air you breathe. 1t is a
local and direct treatment for eradicat.
ing all catarrh germs in the mucous
membrane and tissues and in this way
cures catarrh in any part OF the system.
Used in connection with Hyomei Balm it
has been successful in curing the woi st
and most deep. seated cases of catarrhal
deafness.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs 81 90
and comprises an inhaler, bottle Of
Hyomei and dropper. The inhaler will
last lifetime; and additional bottles OIL
Hyome can be obtained for SOC.
Stronger than any claims that can be
made in an advertisement, is the fact
that W. B. Eastman will give his per.
sonal guarantee with every Hyomei out
fit he sells to refund the money If the pur
chaser can say that Hyomei has not
given satisfaction.

MEMS HATS FOR SPRING.
Prcticlly Impossible to Enumerate
 Soft Hat Styles.

The Haberdaeher
 Soft hat styles for Spring embody every
 shape of which mortal mind can conceive. from
 the narrow -brimmed. pot-crowned affair to the
 Buffalo Bill type that suggests the prairie and
 the broncho buster. Each maker has some-
 thing of his own % offer and earh buyer must
 consult his own taste in choosing. A good
 model is that with a wide. slightly raised brim
 faintly. curling at the edges broad black
 band and tapering crown decidedly peaky in effect This Is safe type. not too radical
 yet too conservative. Still. he would be a bold man who attempted. arbitrarily. to say
 what's what in soft hats. Styles are as mul- hilarious flies round a sugar bowl: indeed,
 to be precise. there's no style in the sense that a certain shape rules. Any old thing goes'' is the forcibie. if fippant, way the man.
 ufacturers put it. The sweeping cowboyish type of alpine is a natural outgroNvth of the present-day athleticism in dress which Is
 manifesting itself in all branches of mems apparel. Witness in proof the military cut of jacketc. the very loose great coats and the thick -soled boots It seems, though. that the craze is near exhaustion and that there will soon be return to the "golden mean in the shapes of soft hats.
