BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS
Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
The patent office is full of devices that
have been invented by sailor men and
others to minimize the dangers that lie con-
cealed in a fog. but none of them has been
successful until what is known as the
submarine telephone was invented. This
is an apparatus bolted against the bow of
ship near the keel, which is sensitive to
every sound in the water for miles around
and conveys it over a wire to the captain in
the pilot house. The receiver is an iron
kettle with a rubber gasket on the rim,
filled with water and containing micro
meter with q diaphragm about the thick
ness of a watch case. In this is placed a
small brass receptacle twice the thickness
of n scent nickel And on it's bottom Is
soldered small disc of rubber, to which
one of the wires of receiver is attached.
A wisp of cotton is placed around 1t. and
a small quantity of graduated carbon is
poured in. Over this is placed film of
mica to which is attached another disc of
carbon connected with the other telephone
wire.
This apparatus is more simple than it's
description reads, and it will communicate
all sounds to the pilot house, where are
double-ear receivers arranged with
switch so as to connect them with either
the port or the starboard bow at will
The ightships and the buoys along the
coast, which In ordinary weather warn
navigators away from rocks and shoals,
have always been useless in fog, but now
they are made to communicate directly
with this telephone apparatus attached to
ship by bell which strikes the number
of the lightship or buoy with force that
can be heard four or five miles, and, by the
telephone. can be located approximately.
In fog on the surface of the water the
sound would be lost in a few fathoms.

For Congress Of Hygiene in 1909.

The House has adopted a resolution re-

to extend an invitation to the International

weather. 1t further states that the fog
signals at present in ightships in
Great Britain, cannot be depended on in all
conditions, even at one or two miles dis
lance; but that the submarine bell in
creases the range at which the fog signal
can be heard by a vessel until it approx
mates the range of the light vessels light
in clear weather, and, moreover, it's bear
ings can be determined with quite suf-
ficient accuracy for safe navigation in fog
from distances far beyond the range Of
aerial fog signals, if the vessel is equipped
with receivers. Even should a vessel not
be so equipped, the submarine bell can be
heard from below the water line for dis
tances which are well outside the range of
aerial fog signals, though its direction can
not then be SO we'll determined. The in
stallation of submarine bells on light ves-
sels," continues the report, must come
sooner or later. Those who wait the long
est will incur the greatest loss in the mean
time, both in ships and lives, and through
delays to shipping which would otherwise
be avoided
1.-The first result of the trails was the
purchase of an equipment Of submarine
bells for Liverpool harbor. where they are
now in use. The second result was an
order from the admiralty for the installa-
ton of the kings yacht, Victoria and AL
bert, with the receiving apparatus.
Meanwhile, the Importance of submarine
signals to insurance companies has by no
means been overlooked. The Liverpool
Underwriters Association. in its annual re-
port for 1906, just issued. calls the atten-
ton of underwriters to the fact that con-
siderable progress has been made during
the past year in the utilization of the eff
fective method of submarine signaling.
Many vessels and lightships (says the re-
porD are at present fitted with the ap-
paratus and wider adoption of this aid to
navigation would considerably increase the
safety of life and property at sea-

The exhibition of work done by the Boys club of the Organized Charities drew together a large number of peo- pie yesterday afternoon and they were greatly interested in the work being done by this useful organization. The work was in connection with the car- 'pentry department of the club, and the many clever exhibits shown gave evil dence of the interest the boys take in the work of the club. Three prizes were offeredone for the best work manship, one for the second best, and third for the best attendance. The first prize was won by an Italian pupil. The exhibits displayed included many useful articles, including book-racks, students study tables, desk, Morris chairs and other similar articles. They showed very conclusively what can be accomplished by boys. who at the start are entirely ignorant of the handling of tools and the methods of cutting and shaping wood.

The The Congregational council in this city in approving the resignation of Dr. Mutch and its acceptance by the Howard avenue church adopted the fol- lowing minute:
 For twenty-two years, since his en- trance into the ministry, Dr. Mutch has been the tried and faithful pastor of but one church, a high testimony to his worth in this day of frequent min isterial changes, During this period he has exemplitied in every way the character of an efficient minister of Christ, by services in the pulpit, by organization and administration, by pastoral care of his people both old and young. by his work as citizen and also by marked labor in the cause of Christian education whereby he has won distinction throughout the coun- try Holding the esteem and love of his own people and having relations of unfailing harmony and copoeration with them he has also been signally be- loved and honored by his fellow min- isters and the churches of our order, and we, the pastors and representa- lives of the churches, wish him God speed and an abundant blessing in his new field of labor.
 He commend also to the great head of the church the Howard avenue church, giving our testimony to their worth in view of their long continued support and appreciation of the ser vices of their pastor and their cooper ation with him during these twenty two years, and we pray that they may be guided in their choice of one who shall worthily All his place and like wise abide with them long period.

KILLED BY FREIGHT TRAIN. CONDUCTOR A VICTIM Fell From Caboose Under
 Wheels of Backing Train.

A shocking death came to Joseph A. Frazier, of 43 Putnam street, yester- day morning at Mt, Carmel. Frazier, who was a freight conductor, was standing on the back platform of the caboose. He lost his balance and fell to the tracks. The train was backing at the time and the wheels passed over his body. He was conscious when picked up by the crew of his train, and asked to be brought home to this city. The train was shunted off and the en-
 zine with eight cars ran into New Ha- ven, arriving here at 11:45. Before reaching the depot MT. Frazier breath ed his last, after bravely suffering ter i irible agony, which his friends could do | little to relieve.
 | Conductor Frazier was one of the
 best known freight conductors on the road and had been on the Air Line di- vision for many months. He had
 worked his way up from brakeman | in the local yards. a He was later con ductor in charge of the brakemen in the Water street yards and was given
 a regular run some three years ago, He was one of the most reliable and lcareful men in the employ of the New
 Haven road and had the confidence of
 his employers.
 MT. Frazier leaves widow and sev- leral children. He was a member of the
 Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors, which will take action upon his death
 at an early date and will also assist at
 the funeral services. No complete ar
 arrangements have yet been made. The
 ambulance of Grace hospital was in
 waiting at the depot for the arrival of
 the body, but it was turned over to the Iundertakers.

 Golf Links.

| Dr. Frederick Schavoir made the eighth hole at Wee Burn yesterday afternoon in one stroke. This is the Dell, and is 173 yards In length. It was the third time that this hole has been made in one stroke The first time this was done was in the final round of the Connecticut championship July 10, 1900. when Dr. Carl E. Martin accomplished the feat in his match with Charles A. Seely. Dr. Martin won the match. On Christmas day, 1904, Wilson L. Baldwin turned the trick. and now the distinc- tion is shared among three. Dr. scha- voir made the play in a foursomes, his partner being John Jolly and the op- ponents, Thomson, the club professional, and Schmidt, the club steward. The match was halved.
