NEW DEVICES FOR SAFETY.
Government Installs Recent Inven-
ttOns on Its Transports.

Several additional devices for the safety
of the passengers and members Of the
crews Of the transports Of the govern
ment have been decided upon by Quar-
termaster General Humphrey. and the
work of equpping the different boats
with the systems will begin in the near
future.
The first Of importance is known as the
automatic device for lowering lifeboats
at sea. Eighty Of these machines have
been ordered by the War Department
and will be attached 20 all OF the trans
ports now In the service Of Uncle Sam.
Tests have shown that lifebOats holding
from thirty to forty-seven people can be
lowered by the automatic device to the
water by four men in a minutes time.
With the ordinary means at hand, Il
usually takes flom ten to fifteen minutes
to get the lifeboats into the water, and
requires nearly as many men.
The submarine telephone Is also TO be
attached to the transport service. This is
practically a new invention, and makes it
possible for the officers Of the ship at
sea 10 locate other vessels, as well as
buoys, &c. at distances varying from
ten to fifteen miles,
