.C0NVERSATIONBY SOUND
WAVES UNDER THE WATER

Newport, X. l., Sept. 9.-By means OF
series of experiments which have
been conducted IN Narragansett bay
during the last few days Il has been
demonstrated that a system of COM
munication under water between sub
marine boats or between. a submarine
boat and the shore or between a sub
marine boat and warsbip is possible,
The system used was the submarine
signal which has been developed by
the Submarine Signal company, whose
vice president and general manager.
Mr.. J. j. Millet, Commander Frank r
Fletcher, commandant of the torpedo
station, and several other prominent
naval officers are satisfied that by
adapting the navy code at present in
use 10 the submarine signal il is pos
slble for crews Of different ships 10
carry on ordinary conversation. The
much desired means Of communication
with submarine under water at more
than 9 mile distance, it is alleged, has
been Strained,
The signaling is communicated
through the water by sound waves,
which cause the walls OF the vessels to
vibrate. This vibration Is communi-
Gated 10 the receiving apparatus
against the interior walls and is heard
through telephones. So delicate is the
transmission that by varying the tone
of the quality Of the sound a very sat
isfactory scheme OF conversation can
be arranged.

ION Reedls orave.

(F'rom the Boston Herald.)
AT the grave in Evergreen Cemetery
at Portland Me, where the late Thos.
b. Reed, former Speaker OF the Ma
tional House OF representatives, is
buried, has been placed an enduring but
not elaborate monument of white Hal
lowell granite which rests on large
base stone Of the same material.
The monument is about ten feet
high, tapering slightly from base, to
top. The only decoration is laurel
wreath In relief on one side, modelled
on the wreaths by st. Gaudens that are
seen on the Shaw memorial in this
city. Below the wreath are these
words; Thomas Bracket Reed, 1890
1892. His Record is with the Faith
ful. the Brave and the True Of all Ma
tions and All Ages 1t is sufficient. but
II Is not too much to say Of that stur-
dy soul who in the storm centre OF
American politics would not yield his
convictions 20 accomplish his personal
advancement
The monument is typical OF the man.
He was himself a column as unbend-
ing as granite when mis- conviction OF
right and duty was clear, Neither
praise nor blame detected him from
his determined course. His viii was
absolute, his courage unshaken in every
exigenoy. He was not afraid nor
ashamed to become a private citizen

From the Chicago Inter- Ocean.)
In the penitentlary at Sing Sing, n.
y, are l,200 conviets The librarian
OF this institution reports that 4O.50o
books were read last year by the con
Yicts.
or these 4O,5OO books 29,8s1 were fic-
ton, 1927 biography, 9ha history, zoe
religion, and 205 poetry. or books IN
foreign languages German led with
1885 volumes, and the order thereafter
was Hebrew. 1859; Italian, 1867 and
French, 545.
Dumas was the favorite writer OF
hetion with the conviots, and 1913 vol
umes OF his works were read. Other
authors followed In the following rank.
Charles Reade, 72O; Collins. $40; Hag-
gard 4sli Crawford, 4l5. Henry, 4O2
These figures show several things OF
interest, among others the fact that
the convict population OF Sing Sing is
cosmopolitan, quite the reverse OF iillt-

Gold In Japan.

Gold In Japan.
(From the Boston Herald)
The story Of an enormous gold nnd
In Japan must be taken with a good
sized pinch Of salt. Quite likely now
gold deposits have been discovered in
the Flowery Kingdom, for gold is
found in Japan and has in the past
been mined there In marketable guam
Titles. When II comes to predicting a
yearly yield from newly discovered
mines OF sl5.OOO,OO0, that is going rath-
er too far into the realm Of imagina-
tion. In 1902, the last year for which
we have figures. the estimated gold
production OF Japan was about 81, ,2OO.-
600. II II should be increased by any
such figures as those contained in the
Toxic despatch, Japan would rank as
a gold producer with the State OF
California in 1902, while she would pro-
duce nearly double the output of Alas
