New Sea Signals

One of the most formidable problems
of coastwise navigation by which mar
iners are confronted is the difficulty of
determining the direction from which
fog bells and signals come, the appar-
ent direction Of the location OF the
sound being dependent to a large de-
gree on the condition of the atmos-
phere. If vessels could run from light
ship to lightship infallibly by sound. as
they do by sight in fair weather. the
Improvement would amount almost TO
a revolution in coastwise traffic.
A new system Of submarine bell sig
mailing, which seems to solve the prob
lem. is described in an interesting arti-
Gle in Harper's Weekly. The apparatus
may be briefly described as follows:
Each of the four steamers of the line
on which the system is being tried are
equipped with microphOne transmitters
Of new and peculiar construction.
which take up from the sea water the
vibrations impaired by bells suspended
by chains from the respective light
ships, and the impulses forwarded to
telephone receivers in-the pilot houses
record with accuracy the direction of
the location Of the bells and an approx
ination of the distance.

Microbes Kill Rats

Consul General John K. Gowdy. In a
report from Paris to the State Depart
ment. describes a new method Of exter-
minating rats and mice.
The process was devised by the Pas
teur Institute, and use Is made of mi
crobes. Scientists recently experiment.
ed on a tract of nearly 5000 acres, badly
infested with vermin- -Four tons Of
bread and nine tons Of oats were used
as bait. These had been treated with n
solution in which the microbes were
cultivated, and were placed near the
holes made by the rodents.
The scientists estimated that they
killed fully 95 per cent Of the rats and
mice living in the tract treated. A field
of two and a half acres was chosen,
and 12,4S4 ratholes were counted. These
were closed, and two days later it was
found that 1904 had been opened.
The bait was used. and eight days
later only thirty-seven holes had been
opened. Fifteen or twenty rats were
frequently found dead in one hole. The
Chamber of Deputies has been asked to
pass a law requiring farmers to CO.
operate to exterminate rats with mi
crobes. The Government will furnish
the solution The cost Of the cultures
is cents an acre.

Overworked Car

The question is often asked why the
Czar is unable to exert more real per-
sonal influence in the government OF
the country where he is supposed to be
absolute autocrat. A curious hint of
the limitations imposed on him is given
by a writer in a late number OF the
Fortnightly Review:
.sTh,. amusements of the Car are
few. He is fond of photography, some
times indulges in a mood for the max
ing Of melancholy verse, and he Is an
adept with the cycle. When at Gatchina
he Is In the habit of cycling by himself

Of the boat, 1T is evident that the sail
would lift the lee side and so list the
boat to windward; and IL the mast were
stepped on the weather side. lifting ths
weather side of the boat. it would
necessarily list the boat to leeward. II
follows, then, that there is some GER
tain point-which happens to be slight
ly on the lee side Of the center line
az which, if the mast is stepped, there
will be no tendency for the wind TO
careen the boat at all When actually
sailing in the boat the only way IN
which one is aware of puff OF wind
is by noticing that the boat travels
faster and experiencing a slight SEN
sation similar to that coming from the
acceleration of the engines in a
steamer. For sailing with the wind in
different directions to the boat. ths
whole mast and sail are rotated by
means of a turntable. to which the
mast is attached and the mast is ele-
waited and lowered by means OF two
tackles There is also a balance

and balance it's dead weight

Train Sickness

Roadlegs have tc be acquired as
much as seaiegs, and in the various
forms of locomotion, from the jolting
omnibus to the quick stopping tube
and air-braked trains, frequent oppor-
tunities arise for estimating the vari-
Gus amounts of agility. clutching of
stay straps and compensating bodily
movements made by the cognoscenti
in the particular class of vehicle of
which they are for the time endeavor-
ing to form an integral part. That
all forms of travelling are firing is evil
dent from the common tendency to
sleep in railway carriages.
The vagaries of the travelling public
are curious; some cannot ride except
facing the engine or the horses. others
cannot travel at all by railway, some
have faint feelings when going at
high speed, Others are made actually
sick and we have known the utmost
confusion caused to some unfortunates
by the seats opposite the direction in
which the train is moving being occu-
pied, though curiously enough the
same feeling is not set up when the
passenger can have a seat placed par
allel with the direction of progress.
There is reason to believe that the ac-
tion upon the eye muscles of the rap
idly changing, parallax and the quick
passage of objects that are met and
left have much to do with the pro-
duction of tired feelings and of head
aches caused by long journeys. and
great relief is often experienced by
simply closing the eyes or by refrain
ing from looking out of the windows.
and if reading is to be indulged in,
the daylight should be chosen and
large and clear type of print selected.

Price Of Life

THE life of rich man is worth more
than the life of a poor man, and the
physician has a right to charge the
millionaire more for his services than
he does the laborer." is the opinion re-
Gently handed down by Philadelphia
Judge, who went On to say:
The physician is unlike the mer-
chant who has goods of different quail
ity to sell at various prices. He must
give his best services ip every case.
But it does not follow that the service
is worth the same in every case.
Human life has pecuniary value
of variable quantity, greater in the
millionaire than in the laborer Thus
the practitioner of common sense
makes out his bill to suit the pecu-
MARY circumstances of his PATIENTS

n ewest w onder

A wireless telegraph writer, or zero
graph, as IL is called for the sake of
brevity. has been invented by an Eng
lishman. The zerograph, in appearance.
resembles an ordinary typewriter, but
il is of simpler construction, with a
keyboard figured with the signs of the
letters and numerals, which can be
printed or telegraDhed TO any number
of instruments. Each instrument the
inventor explains. is at once a receiver
and a transmitter. enabling operators
TO converse with ore 3nC he in writ
ing, and thus obviating misunderstand-
ings, which are apt to occur in tele-
phone communications. So far mes
sages have been sent only for short
distance. but ii is intended to expert
ment over wider spaces, and it is hoped
that messages can be sent to any dis
tance that ether waves viii carry. The
machine is always ready for imme-
diate use, and as there is no mechan-
ism which requires to be wound up in
order to obtain synchronism, the ope-
rstor has both hands free for manipu
lation.
The apparatus consists of a type
writer which, by depressing a key,
sends two impulses. Each letter re-
quires only two impulses. and the
different letters are obtained by means
of the time interval between these i'm
pulses. For wireless purposes these
impulses operate a switch connection
with the induction coil, thus making
the sparks for sending the ether waves.
The induction coil is connected with
an aerial we'll as an earth wire. To
turn the apparatus into a receiving in
strument il is only necessary to move
a switch which is placed beneath the
typewriter. This makes all the con-
nections TO the receiving apparatus,
which consists of a coherer and very
sensitive relay.-Invention Age.

Don's Stoop


DIR. Madison ]. Taylor. giving general
advice to the aged in the Popular
Science Monthly. says in effect that old
people do not stoop because they are
old, but they get old because they stoop.
The stiffening of the tissues. which is
the sign and accompaniment OF age, IS
warded off by exercise. Self-indulgence
in eating and in drinking and in lazy
ways is the sure road TO senility. L
have often been surprised and grati-
fed" writes the doctor, Ito find that
regulated movements of the neck and
upper truncal muscles. employed for the
purpose of accomplishing something
else, resulted in a conspicuous I'M
provement in hearing, in vision, in cere-
bration and, as a consequence, in bet
terment in cerebral circulation, also In
sleep.
Persons who habitually maintain an
erect position in standing or sitting are
stronger than those who slouch. A per-
son who stoops and allows the
shoulders to sag down and forward and
the ribs to fall back toward the spine
shortens the -posterior diameter OF
the thorax anywhere from two to five
inches. s,* The lungs, heart, great
vessels and other important structures
in the thorax cannot live, move ana
have their proper being under such cir
cumstances.'
Wherefore, the proper thing for per-
sons who are not so young as once they
were Is to brace up, dress young and
feel young Sitting "hunched up" over
a fire won't do it.
