Navigation in Fog.
. New York Tribune. q

From the New York Tribune.
Much relief was. felt yesterday when it
was learned that the steamship which had
grounded off Fire Island before dawn was
engaged in carrying freight only. and was
not a large Atlantic liner having many
hundred passengers on board. The acci-
dent itself. however, like the similar ex-
perience Of the Drummelzier two or three
weeks ago, shows that the art OF ap-
preaching the coast safely in a fog has not
been fully mastered II judicious use Of
the lead had been made by the captain of
the Indus. he would have realized his peril
in time to avoid lodging on a sand bar. He
was not embarrassed by O heavy sea or
high wind. and 1t was an easy matter to
take soundings. Such precaution would
have shown him the wisdom of anchoring
until he knew definitely where he was
Other means also are now being placed
at the disposal of navigators and steam
ships with view to enhancing security In
fog. One is pair of telephones so ar
ranged as to pick up signals sent through
the water by bell either on shore or on
another vessel. The apparatus makes 1t
possible to determine with reasonable ac-
curacy the direction from which the sound
proceeds. and the number of strokes can
be made to tell where they originate The
Canadian government was expected to In
stall bells for this purpose at several points
along the st. Lawrence last year. If the
plan were carried out. 1t can hardly be
doubted that some of the big vessels which
go up and down that river would soon be
equipped with the instruments needed for
the utilization of the system. There is one
other piece of information which submarine
signals alone do not convey They do not
Indicate the distance of the place of origin
from the ship on which they are heard
The degree of distinctness affords a hint,
but not close approximation. 1t has been
proposed, therefore, to emit a short blast
from fog horn simultaneously with the
strokes of the bell Sound travels nearly a
mile second by water. and four or five
times as slow through the air. A difference
OF three seconds In the reception OF signals
by the two routes would mean that they
came from spot 4.0o0 or 5000 feet away.

Insurance Frauds in Paris.

Paris Correspondence London Chronicle
An ingenious system of insurance swim
ding has just been discovered here. and It
is estimated that the gang, which has been
operating for some time. has cleared no
less than Ave millions OF francs.
The two principal members of the gang
were arrested yesterday. one a fairly well
known doctor. and the other an insurance
broker. Their method of procedure was
delightfully."- simple. Whenever the doctor
found one of his patients In danger of
dying the broker was at once informed
and the morfbund was insured for a sum
varying from 100000. to 100000 q sub
stitute in good health being provided to

May years ago Edward Bixby left

his fortune in the west Bixby became
a pruspector in Colorado and bought a
claim which he worked with q man BY
ahe name OF Clark One day Clark took
Bixby to a little pocket Of rocks near
the mine and showed him where he had
placed some articles he did not care to
keep on his person. There We're some
money, revolver, gold pencil case, a
bunch Of keys and a picture Of wo-
man.
Il want you to know where these
things are in case anything happens to
me- Clark said, and, having covered
the pocket with broad, fiat stone, left
no sign Of the concealed articles.
Some time after this CLARK was taken
ill and, having no relative to leave any
property to. made win leaving his
interest in their claim to Bixby, though
there was then no great apparent value
in the hole they were sinking. Clark re-
covered, but the win was not destroyed.
one day Blxby left the claim for a
day to buy provisions, and when he
came back he found that Clark bad

There was no trace Of the murderer,
ana Blxby was much puzzled as TO who
had done the deed. Bixby went OH dig

He had been suspected Of Clark's
murder, and now that It appeared he
had i motive he was arrested He
could not prove that the murder was
committed during his absence, and no
one else was known to have an inter

little value. hoping that II Blxby was
hanged they might get It back, manu-

he was convicted The usual efforts
were made by his lawyers to save his
life, but they were all failures, and
finally they told him he must prepare
for death.
II was only few days before the
execution was to take place that q

half witted fellow, entered a saIoor
