TO DIsPEL THE FOGs.

More than the hurricane at sea the
mariner breads the fog. The tragedies
of the fog are innumerable. On the
banks of Newfoundland year after
year numerous fishing craft are cut
down and their crews sent to watery
graves by heavy steamers suddenly
looming up from the density of the
fog. Horns and whistles and rockets
are unavailing to give timely warning
when the heavy pail of impenetrable
whiteness hangs over the water. 1t is
invariably case of Trust to luck,
and God help u.s." when the mist set
ties down and vision half a ships
length is impossible. From time inn
memorial those who have gone down
to the sea in ships have prayed and
schemed for a safeguard against the
dangers of the fog. But heretofore all
devices have proved inadequate and
merely makeshifts. to mitigate and
not remove the danger And this not
withstanding the foremost scientists
of the maritime nations have given
eAASAA PNob SAAOA 10 " NiiC SOlul iOll u the
problem.
Now comes Sir Oliver Lodge,
British scientist of acknowledge
standing, who says that. while he has
not succeeded in devising a means of
dispelling fogs. he has hit upon a
plan for rendering them less danger
Gus through abolishing them within a
limited space. He has designed and
reduced to successful operation an
apparatus that condenses and precipi-
tates in the form of rain the suspend
ed moisture within a radius that will
give ship time in which to stop and
back in the event that a collision or
stranding be found imminent. The
apparatus drives currents of electricity
at a very high voltage through barb
ed wires into the fog-filled atfnos-
phere. Almost Immediately the dis
charge of the current is started, it is
said. the condensation begins and the
suspended moisture begins to fall to
the surface Of the ocean in rain drops.
The radius in which this may be ac-
complished depends entirely on the
strength of the current employed. On
the ordinary passenger ship the radius
ought to extend for 800 to 400 feet. SO
far 1t has not been possible to precip-
itate and thus dispel a whole fog
bank, because the natural forces that
create fog over wide areas are too
great to be overcome by ordinary
mechanical apparatus which, however
energetic locally, are not equal to
changing the atmospheric conditions
through miles and miles of space But,
If Sir divers conclusions are correctly
based, 1t would seem that a beginning
has been made that may lead to the
ultimate solution of the problem.
Wireless telegraphy was begun with
the transmission Of messages over
very short distance; now wireless sig
nails are exchanged across oceans. II
Sir divers apparatus will dispel fogs
within a radius OF 300 TO 400 feet, an
amplihcation Of his system may even
tually clear the atmosphere for half
"A mile or more.

Women" a man had said, ARE

"Of course" Miss Kellar answered.
II, admit that women are vain and men
are not. There are a thousand proofs
that this is so. Why, the necktie of
the handsomest man in the room is

There were six men present, and
each of them put his hand gently be-

ron THE COMMISSION.

The international commission that is
to fix the responsibility for the outrage
upon British fishing boats in the North
sea by the Russian Baltic fleet is
likely to find it's task isn't an easy one.
1t is the duty of the commission to
report upon all circumstances relative
to the North sea incident. land par
ticularly on the question as to where
the responsibility lies and the degree
of blame attaching to the subjects of
the two high contracting parties, or
the subjects of other countries, in the
event of their responsibility being es-
tablished in the inquiry
It seems that some of the trawlers
have made affidavit before the Russian
consul at Hull that there were Japa-
nese torpedo boats among the English
fishing boats, notwithstanding the fact
that Immediately after the outrage 1t
was impossible to find a trawler who
would make a statement of that kind.
On the contrary, all of them denied
they had seen torpedo boats carrying
the Japanese flag. Indeed it seemed to
be generally agreed that there had
been no torpedo boats of. Japan among
the trawlers.
The Russian government offered re-
ward for information as to whether or
not the trawlers had seen Japanese
torpedo boats, and it is limited that
the result of that advertisement is the
testimony that has been given to the
Russian consul. The charge is made
that the Russians have bribed
English fishermen to give the testi-
mony relative to the Japanese torpedo
boats. If that is the case, the fact
will, of course, be brought out before
the commission. One of the fishermen,
1t is said, has admitted he made a
false affidavit for the money that was
given him, but that he was drunk
when he did SO. 1t may be that the
others who have made affidavits were
also under the influence of liquor. In
that event there is likely to be some
sensational developments before the
commission.
Admiral Dewey didn't accept a place
ON the commission for the reason, it
was said, that he thought there would
be complications that would make the
office of a commissioner an extremely
disd greeable one, and it looks as if he
had forseen the situation correctly.
Russia doesn't want it to appear, if
she can help it, that the officers of her
heet made a mistake and fired upon
unarmed English fishing vessels, think
ing they were Japanese torpedo boats.
They would like it to appear that Rus
sian naval officers are not so easily
mistaken. Besides, If the commission
finds against Russia there will be a
pretty heavy bill of damages to pay.

The phenomenon of the changes In
the level Of The sea is one which Is
well shown in the case Of the Medit-
erranean. NJ. Phi. Negris, in a recent
brochure presented to the Academy of
Sciences, furnishes us interesting in
formation on this point, it being an
parent that the sea has greatly in
creased in depth as compared TO an
cient times. Formerly a bridge 5000
feet long united Leucade to the conti-
nent. To-day II is submerged. but
the foundations OF the work were dis
covered eleven feet beneath the sur
face. IL may therefore be concluded
that since the construction OF the
bridge the sea has risen at this point
over mine feet. At Itea. I'm the BAY
Of Amphissa. there has been observed
a mole that Is also over nine feet be-
meath the surface. AZ Rhenee there
has been found a completely submerged
dock, evidently Of Roman construction.
the depth Of the sea above the dock al
places being fully nine feet. From All
of these facts one may conclude that
there has taken place an important In
crease M the depth Of the sea since the
Roman period, the Mediterranean hav-
INK risen a. least nine feet IN about
Two ihoufand years.
