A SUBMARINE KITE.
Sounds q Warning to Ships When
They Enter ShOal Water.

Sounds u Warning to ships when
They Enter Shoal Water.
The strangest of all kites yet invented
is one constructed by the famous
Swedish engineer Sjostrand. This kite
Is to fly beneath the waters Of the sea.
1t is made of light canvas adjusted to
a light but strong metal frame and in
shape is not dissimilar to the aerial
kite except that it is made in two sec
tons. the lower and smaller one de-
pending from the upper, with which
1t is connected by sort of coupling.
The object sought by Mr.. Sjostrand
was to provide ships with an ever
ready automatic guard or watch that
would give instant alarm II the vessel
enters shoal waters and is approaching
a spot where the depth is not sufficient
for safety.
The under water kite is fastened to
thin wire cable attached to a winch on
deck.
When the kite is thrown overheard it
sinks in consequence of the obliQue
pressure brought to bear upon it by the
water. Just as the land kite Is raised
and maintained aloft by the pressure
of the air.
With the winch the kite is lowered or
raised at will, and forming portion of
this winch is a scale and register that
tells the depth in fathOms or meters Mt
which it Is floating.
The curve Of the cable to which the
kite is attached never varies, whatever
the speed of the vessel or the condition
of the weather, so that the kite always
remains at the exact depth fixed by
the winch.
The purpose Of the water kite is to
float beneath or beside the ship ut a
depth that is sufficient to insure safety.
If at any time. day or night, the lower
section of the kite strikes bottom the
signal pencil, as it is called, instantly
releases the coupling with which 1t is
secured to the upper section and an
alarm bell is sounded on the deck Of
the endangered vessel.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
How to Tell an Actor,

At one time last summer the New
York Rialto became so congested with
actors that the policeman on duty re-
ceived special instructions to keep the
crowd moving and not allow the actors
to collect in groups. 1t was a very hot
day, and the Irish officer who had the
detail was hopping his brow from
pure exhaustion.
How can you tell an actor?" l ask
ed. Il should think you might make
mistakes"
Its easy" he said. with a thick
brogue. You can always tell an actor.
for he's always shaking hands. An
actor II meet another actor, and the!

the other into cafe. and they'll como
out brushin' the crumbs Of the free
lunch off their vests, and they'll shake
hands. A minute later you'll SEQ them
meet at the next corner. and they're
shakin' hands as If they hadn't met for
years. Always shakin' hands and

1t is necessary for one to travel
through Alaska to understand its vast
ness, to climb its mountains to appre-

their mode Of living and to hear their
comments upon local conditions to

Cloud Shooting.

Cloud shooting is becoming q regular
form of artillery practice in many con-
tinental countries. The object of this
atmospheric gunnery is to dispel threat
ened hailstorms. The most recent form
of gun is a funnel shaped barrel of
iron, with broad muzzle, so that the
discharge shall be distributed over as
large space as possible. The effect
Of the discharge is to create a small
but powerful whirlwind, which, it is
found, disperses clouds that would
otherwise descend in hail. So strong
is the gust of wind sent upward that
it sometimes kills or disables birds fly
ing at great heights overhead.

Ve9eta BILE SpOn9es.

The cultivation of vegetable spOnges
Is making progress in Algeria. About
ten species of the plant are known.
and they are cultivated in Asia and
Africa, being extensive in the regions
of Algiers and Oran. Prior to matur-
ity the fruit is edible. When the stage
of ripeness, however, has been passed
the pulp becomes separated from the
fibrous matter which then forms the
spongy mass entitled the vegetable
sponge. Fine specimens when bleach
ed in a weak lime bath are sold at
about a nickel apiece. Paris is at
present the chief market for most of
the vegetable spOnges grown in AL
giers. They are suitable not only for
toilet and bathroom, but also for do
nestle purposes.

Glass Keeps Out Heat.

An Austrian inventor. Richard Sig
mondy, is reported to have made a new
kind of window glass whose chief pc
culiarity is that it prevents the passage
of nine-tenths of the heat of the suns
rays. One advantage set forth in IA
vor of the new glass is that a house
would remain delightfully."- cool in sum-
mer,, but in winter perhaps the situa-
ton would not be so agreeable. In
deed, the panes would have to be ex-
changed for others Of ordinary glass.
since otherwise no sun heat could en-
ter the house.

ing engraving. 1t comprises con-
ductor in the form of rod, which is
bent to enter holes in the webs Of two
adjacent rails. The ends of the rod
are threaded to receive pair Of nuts,
which enter the holes in the webs. The
nuts are formed with frustrO cOnical
ends, and as the nuts are screwed up
on the rod they not only draw the rod
into close contact with the webs of the
rails, but also wedge their frustrO con-
ical ends tightly into the holes in the
webs. This insures an exceedingly
good electrical connection between the
adjacent rails. 1t will be evident that
the new rail bond can be applied to
rails as now constructed.

CONGRESS MAKES
SPLENDID RECORD
SENATE AND HOUSE WORK
NIGHT AND DAY
Members Establish Precedent by Taxi
ing UP Questions Of Vital Inn
portance Which Heretofore
Had Been Ignored
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON. June 24.-1mportant
measures extending federal regulation
and control have been enacted at the
first session Of the Fifty-ninth con-
gress.
The railroad and the meat inspection
bills will soon become laws and be-
fore adjournment both houses will
have passed pure food bills, which, al
though disslmilar in terms, are both
based on the same principle of federal
control.
1t is the present intention to try and
adjust these differences before adjourn
ment.
There has been no marked division
on party lines in effecting the above
results, the differences being only as
TO ways and means rather than as to
policy.
In addition to branching off into this
new field of legislative endeavor the
present session has made itself inn
portant in other ways. 1t has added
one and perhaps two new states to the
Union, and by so doing has disposed of
four territories.
Great results to the people are ex-
pected from the removal of the tax
on denatured alcohols if predictions are
fulfilled; heat light and power are to
be supplied by alcohol made from the
corn fields of the country, from sugar
beets and sugar cane, from fruits and
other vegetation.
Canal Problem Settled
BY deft turn of legislative points
of view the questions that have per-
picked congress for some time regard
ing the Panama canal have been set
tiled.
The president may dig, lock canal
as fast as he pleases. A joint resolu-
tion was agreed to requiring canal
supplies to be made of American man
ufacture.
Congress has not dealt with the for
eign situation to any extent.
An act making a much needed reOr-
ganization of the consular service was
passed. Nothing was done in the
Santo Domingo controversy, and the
Legislation affecting our colonial pos
sessions was meager and unimportant,
although tariff revision for the Phil
ippines received the attention and APP
proval of the house, and an act was
passed revising the tariff collected by
the Philippine government. A coinage
act for the islands also was passed.
Congress Breaks Records
But congress talked about our own
tariff law 1t broke the record for
words Thousands and hundreds OF
| thousands more than have been uttered
at any one session were compiled in the
congressional record.
Not only on the floors of the two
| houses has the word record been heavy

mittee sessions on tariff subjects, are

duced In the two houses. The calendar
