AN ArronATIc COMPASS.
A Move, 1nysntion of Great Use on
 gShipboard.

N-ovel In,sntion of Great Use on
 Shipboard.
 Al auto cratic compass for use on hoana s,,o is described in the Bulletin da ~ is societe 1ndustrielle de Marseil- The apparatus, which is the inysntion of M Heit, automatically registers, minute by minute, the drec- ltion of the compass, So that by con sulting the chart which is the result if is possible to determine what the route was that vas followed at a given moment Of tha passage. The com mander of q vessel indicates to the helmsrnan he route which the vessel should fotow, but he does not know whether this route is followed unless l he is continually observing the com bass. The Heit apparatus gives this inforpation, registering every change in tae position of the vessel. every move made by the helmHnan and the sxact time at which such change oc- cured; and SO, in case of many varie- ties of accident, the chart enables one to establish exactly the responsibility. The apparatus has been in use for several months past, and has given complete satisfaction.
 The compass card, instead of having at it's centre an agate resting on a fixed steel point, is fixed on a steel pivot, which rests on a fixed agate. The latter Is bathed in a drop of mer- cury, which serves to conduct the cur rent of electricity that makes possible the registering of the movements of teh compass. For this purpose the card has attached to 1t a small silver index, which is kept in constant electrical communication with the pivot by a fine and flexible wire. Tn the usual position this index does not touch the fixed ba- sin surrounding the card, but by means of the lectrical current the circuit Is rapidly closed and opened, with the res suit that the angle of the boat with the meridian is registered For this pur- pose the basin is divided into a certain number of sections, isolated from each lother and corresponding in each case l to a special circuit, the registration being made on a sheet of paper by means of spark produced by small induction coil. Certain sections of the t psioih ott9o Sol leSpoiiu " cSlt1lil 0dti bells the commander thus being in stantly informed of the boat. The ap- paratus also gives the speed of the boat by registering the revolutions of the screws, at each stroke of the piston a current being closed and a signal sent to the receiver, while the hour of departure is registered, together with that of every stop or start.-- Philadelphia Public Ledger.

NURSES MANNED HOSE.
CHIEF sN4GG HOLDS 4 FIRE
 DRILL AT THE HOSPITAL.

Girls Hung on to the Nozzle and Didn't
 Mind sprInIkIIng-MaIe Attendants
 Always on Hand to Help in Trouble.
 The nurses at the Waterbury hospital are prepared for an invasion of the fie- " monster. and while they are not wishing it to come just for the sake of showing what good firemen they are, they are confident that they can han dle fire just as well as men. They base their belief on the excellent fire drill they went through yesterday af- ternoon under the direction of Chief Samuel c. Snagg, of the Waterbury fire department.
 The idea is that the matron, Miss Mary A. Andrews, who says it doesn't originate with her, but is in vogue at all the nurses training schools. Miss Andrews is enthusiastic about the fire apparatus of the hospital and, thinking it might as well be used as not. she de- termined to have the nurses drill.
 They gathered to the number of ten, all that could possibly be spared from , duty, and under the orders of Chief Snagg grouped themselves about the hose reel, on which there were one hun dred feet of hose. At a signal two of the nurses took hold of the end and ran with it to a hydrant on the outside of the building. It was attached to the hydrant, the nozzle was put on and then, with two of the strongest young women in the institution fearfully yet 1 firmly grasping the nozzle the hydrant was turned on. The stream went high into the air and part of it sprinkled on the nurses, but they didn't mind. They strengthened themselves in the belief that they were putting out a fire and that was enough. After the water had been turned on long enough the nurses rolled up the hose again and did it very neatly and very quickly.
 Chief Snagg says the nurses did we'll, and Miss Andrews says so toc.,Miss Andrews is annoyed because it was e ported that sometimes there are n9 male attendants about the hopilaA "rhere are always male attfluallts here,,' she said. We are neYr Wltl-z out them. Of course, in case q enler- gency the nurses will be calsu upon lo get out the fire apparatu,, put liels < will always be men abols. !

The Author-Athlete Lectures at Foy
 Auditorium.
 Probably one of the most interesting speakers on the lecture platform to-day is Bernarr Macfadden, the author-ath- lete, who comes to the Foy auditori- .uln Monday evening, November 2S. The subject of his discourse will be aThe Cause and Cure of Weakness,
 MT, Macfadden is the editor and pub fisher of the Physical Culture Maga- zine, and several other publications of a like nature, as well as the author of more than a score of successful books and novels, which have attracted world wide attention. He is not only a very interesting talker, but a man with a very remarkable magnetic personality and a thoroughly sincere advocate of the somewhat unique doctrines that have won him recognition throughout the English speaking world. His leo ture is really an exposition of his the ories, interspersed with Health Talks that will prove interesting and instruct i've, as well as amusing and entertain ing.

ALPINE TOBoGGANs.
Sixty Miles an Hour on One Famous
 Slide.

Sixty Miles an Hour on One Famous
 Slide.
 Most people have heard of the cele- brated "Cresta" toboggan run at St. Moritz, Switzerland, and many have seen 1t, but not many are familiar with the electric arrangement by which the racing is timed accurately to the tenth of a second.
 est. Moritz is one of the highest vil- Iages in the Engadine, having an alti- tude of about six thousand feet, and is great center of winter sports; 1t is consequently much frequented by Eng fish and other nationalities who enjoy the sports of skating, curling, tobog- gaming, slSi-ing and bandy, which can here be obtained under the best condi- tions. Good tobogganing may be had In other places, but at St. Moritz it is carried to a fine art, and only an ex- pert can expect to compete successfully on the renowned "Cresta" toboggan run, with it's wonderful curves and banks The name Cresta is derived from small village of that name near the finish of the course.
 The course is little over three quarters of mile in length, with a diff ference of elevation from the start to finish Of about six hundred feet; the gradient varies at different points, be- ing most steep at the church leap.
 As only one toboggan can occupy the track at time, the races are all de- cided by he time taken to complete the course. The record time from the strat to the finish it at present 61-6-10 se~ conds, this entailing a speed of sixty miles an hour or more on the fastest parts. The curves of frozen snow are built up with high banks accurately shaped to allow the toboggan to go round them at the greatest speed, the highest bank being about twenty five feet in height These different banks have we'll known names, such as the Battledore and Shuttlecock, Scylla and Charybdis and Bulpett's Corner. The whole track is practically of ice, and, after passing the finish, it has for a short distance steep upward gradient, the great momentum obtained carrying the tobogganer uphill.
 The toboggans used are of the "sksl- eton" pattern, with steel runners, the tobogganer lying 1n a prone position and steering with his feet, by means of spikes attached to the toes of his boots. The principal race run on the Cresta is the Grand National which takes place at the end of February or beginning of March, and might be called the Derby of tobogganing, competitors coming from Dayos and other places to take part in this con- test Electrical Revier

 (continued from Seventh Page9 The story is about a young man who is generally accepted as good fellow, and, as is usually the case with such man, he is degraded and debased through vile associations. The play points out the moral and brings about the redemption of the young man through the self-sacrificing devotion of a young woman. There is much in the play that comments it to the theatss9 goer.
 It is claimed by few managers that a really frst-class production can be given at popular prices. and ''The Nine ty and Nine is the proof of the state ment. For more than one-half year this play has been presented in New York city, and this in itself would es- tablish a precedent.
 A capable company will appear, head ed by O. J. Ashmun, whose work as the Minister in Lovers Lane'' is well re- membered, and Miss Bayone, Whipple, a leading ingenue who has received praiseworthy mention.
 There will be matinees Friday and Saturday. The advance sale has been large. Secure seats at once.

Nasal catarrh quickly yields to treat ment by Ely's Cream Balm, which is agreeably aromatic. It is received through the nostrils, clearses and heals the whole surface over which it diffus- es itself. A remedy for nasal catarrn which is drying or exciting to the dis eased membrane should not be used. Cream Balm is recognized as speci- fic. Price 50 cents at druggists or by mail.

IRIS.


 New. Haven playgoers, who know the quality of Miss Eugenie Blair,s art, will welcome her return next Monday for three nights, when she appears at the New Haven theater for the first time as Iris in Pineros famous play of the same name. One of the most exacting roles of the modern drama, it yet has strong attractions for arl actress pos sessing the artistic temperament and emotional force that Miss Blair has shown in her previous creations, nota- bly "A Lady of Quality" Iris is a play somewhat similar in treatment to the authors .'Seccnd Mrs. Tanqueray," displaying his npest experience and wonderful command of the resources of the moeern stage. It is a masterly study of certain phases of social life, appealing at the same time to all hu- ma4ity. The production at the New raven theater will be in every respect. worthy of the play, the management providing magnificent setting and a cast of artists of exceptional ability. There will be matinee Wednesday. Seat sale now open.
