FOS.Signaling Station.

The lighthouse board of the United
States has been making some interest
ing tests with a new fog-signaling ap-
paratus, says London Sphere. The OBJ
ject of this device is not only to warn
the mariner of close approach to an
island or dangerous rock but to inform
him of his exact compass bearing. The
apparatus is in the form of single au-
toma tically revolving megaphone with
eight trumpetS, which are sounded in
turn. 1t is blown by a prearranged
code SO that any one hearing it may
know exactly in what direction he is
steering. The instrument at Falkner's
Island is operated as follows: One long
blast means that the signal you hear
is north of you, one short blast that
it is south Of you.
One of the fog-signaling apparatuses
has been placed by the Canadian gov
eminent at Fame Point in the Gulf of
st. Lawrence. Some elaborate fog sig
mails have recently been carried out
at st. GATHERINGS Point in the Isle Of
Wight. For the improvement Of the
fog signaling apparatus used in the
British lighthouse a great variety Of
Curiously shaped horns were used 1t
was found that great amount OF
waste occurred by some of the sound
going in an upward direction, and to
get rid Of this wastage a special clip
teal mouth trumpet was devised for
use at lighthouses

cal legislation. Senators Cullom and

have harmonious Republican action
was for all the Republicans to get in
