whether or not there is any danger
OF warning of danger ahead, and
where it is located.
This method is SO accurate that the
steamers using the system have often
found their direction within one
point, and by little maneuvering of
the vessel captain can always get
his direction with accuracy.
The vibrations which he hears are
initiated by the bell that is hung over
the side of the lightship or suspended
III the water At the end Of cable
from lighthouse or bell buoy. The
bells are struck by a hammer exactly
like bell in the air, only with more
force. These vibrations are taken
vessel and transmitted through the
telephone.
A type of apparatus designed for
fishing boats or small vessels OF any
kind includes a receiving box, with
| ball receiver, which is lowered into
the water. 1t is obvious that some
sounds would be too delicate to pene
trate the side of vessel To meet
this case, a receiver has been invented
which is lowered directly into the
water and picks up sounds of com
paratively small intensity.
To appreciate the importance of
this invention to the maritime world
it is only necessary to consider that
at the present moment there are no
sound signals in the air which can
be trusted.

Flowing Up Grasshopper Eoos.

The eggs of grasshoppers are laid
along in the latter part OF summer, in
clusters about an inch below the sur
face of the ground. Each cluster or
mass is surrounded with frothy ma
terial, which seems to act as a pro-
lection from excessive moisture.
Flowing the ground where eggs are
laid breaks up these masses and de-
stroys the protection; in some cases
it turns the masses down so deep in
the soil that the young hoppers, even
though they hatch, cannot force their
way upward to the surface Almost
no grasshoppers will hatch in ground
that has been plowed. Hence it is de-
sirable to watch closely the egg-lay-
ing habits, and see if the eggs are not
laid in places where blowing can be
done. With the Rocky Mountain To-
Gust, this has several times served to
destroy a whole swarm. With our
principal species there are certain pre-
ferred kinds of soil for egg-deposition.
At Market Lake they selected gener-
ally the edges of slight depressions in
the plains. These depressions or hol-
lows were low enough so that they
produced kind of salt-grass, and not
a sage-brush. The absence of sage
made them more conspicuous than the
difference of level. About the edges
Of these places the newly Matched
young were very numerous. Plow-
ing could have been applied here with
good results. The land in Big Camas
Prairie lies differently, and does not
offer many of these spots. Here the
hoppers showed marked preference
for sandy or gravelly places along the
edges of creeks. l did not have an
opportunity to Judge whether blowing
could be done in these places. Ground
under cultivation is rarely or never
used for egg-laying by grasshoppers.:
All the species seem to prefer a hard
er texture of earth and some will even
choose the wheeltracks of roa6s:-J.
