slqnallnq Under Water.

There has recently been put in OPP
Grafton at Boston a system Of signal
ing beneath the waves to vessels APP
preaching dangerous shores during
foggy weather. The apparatus con-
sists Of two receivers, located on
either side Of the ship below the water
line, and connected by wires to the
wheel house, where telephone box
is placed. The signals from shore arc
given by striking submerged ball at
regular intervals. When the observer
wishes to ascertain his location he
takes the ear piece, and by moving
the switch either to the right or LETT.
soon ascertains upon which side the
sound is the loudest, and upon that
side the bell will be found. The value
of system Of this nature is at once
apparent when It is borne in mind
that fogs frequently obscure the most
powerful lights, and that certain at
mospheric conditions during stormy.
weather render fog horns almost. V

A famous Gaelic curse put upon tho
family of Dalrymple at the time OF
the massacre of Glencoe, in the 18th
century, is recalled by the death OF
the Earl Of Stair, head Of the Dali
rymple family. The first earl Of the
line took part in the massacre, and
Jean Macdonald, the sole survivor OF
a large family that persisted through
the earl's cruelty, delivered a bitter
curse upon him, wishing that no sue
ceedlng earl should have children. A.
startling comment on this malediction
is that the second, third, fourth, sixth.
seventh and eighth earls Of Stair all
died without issue-a circumstances
probably unique in the annals Of the
peerage. The family Of the first earl
became entirely extinct in 1910, and
the succession passed to the descend
ants OF his next brother, Sir James
Dalrymple, from whom came the peer
Just deceased. Evidently the curse
