In speaking of the death at Mainz
of Gottlieb CHASER, the old prompter
of the Stadttheater of that city, a Bos-
ton paper says: He was modest in
his work and did it without show or
buster AS he lived, so he passed
away, and a short paragraph was all
that the press bestowed upon him.
This one story should be remembered:
One evening the house was crowded in
honor of a popular tenor. At the time
when he should have done his best
the tenor's voice suddenly failed him.
He looked helplessly towards the top
of the house. the members or the or
chestra became nervous and the au-
dience shared in the discomfort. But
help came-not from above, but-from
the prompter's box. He realized the
situation and began where the tenor
had left off and for the first and only
time sang an operate solo. The audi
ence applauded wildly, the tenor bowed
and the leader of the orchestra banged
his applause with his baton on the
prompter's box and shouted: Bravo,
Glaser!''

BELLS UNDER WATER.

oid-Fashioned Warning.

The old time aerial fog-bell, oper-
ated for the benefit Of mariners dur
ing foggy weather, which was only
moderately efficient and decided an
noyance TO communities, viii.
probably be largely supplanted in the
near future by the submarine electric
bell, which has been in process, OF
development during the past Ave
years.
That a practical device appears TO
have been evolved is evidenced by a
test recently conducted in Boston
harbor, Bhere a bell was operated
continuously for gc0 hours, striking
about 20 blows a minute, thus max
ing about million strokes. In all.
which at all times were audible in
the cabin OF the Boston Lightship.
moored at asdistance of Ave miles.
This performance is considered all the
more remarkable when II is consider
ed that the sounding bell was located
at depth OF 20 feet and was operated
by a small two horse power oil en-
gine and dynamo and maintained at
a point over two miles away.
The signals are made audible by
means of specially contrived receivers,
which are hung over the ships side,
connecting with telephones located In
the captains cabin, or pilots house.
