SPANS sEes TO JOIN CHILD.
Deported Syrian Travels 1856 Miles
for Daughters Sake.

North Adams. Mass.-To outwit the
immigration authorities and join his
eight-year-old daughter here, a Syrian
who arrived IN this city travelled over
1866 miles. expended a small for
tune in transportation. and consumed
six months time
The child was brought by her father
to the city last winter. The girl found
home, but the father was deported,
making the distance travelled when he
again arrived at Beirut, Syria, 1880
miles. He reembarked within a few
days for Rio Janeiro, Brazil, 7,425
miles away His intention was to
enter the states at a gulf port, not
daring to trust himself again to the
immigration officials of the larger
eastern cities
While in Brazil he reached the con-
clusion that it would be better had he
started originally for Canada At the
first opportunity he embarked on a
vessel for Colon, whence he crossed
the isthmus of Panama 1t required
several weeks waiting before he final
ly embarked on a sailing vessel for
Victoria, B. c. He arrived early in
May at British Columbia. he had add
ed $500 miles to his itinerary.
In June he jOurneyed from Victoria
TO Montreal, 1921 miles. He then de-
termined upon final cast and headed
for the United States. At this point
he had no trouble in crossing the line
from Canada and made $50 miles from
Montreal 20 Boston. The night he ar
rived in that city he covered the final
100 odd miles still separating him and
his little girl.

BELL UNDER THE SEA
NOVEL WARNING TO SHIPS OF
APPROACHING PERIL.
Electricity Conveyed by Cable From
the Shore Operates Mechanism
Sound Travels Five or Ten
Miles Through Water.

Washington-A novel method to
inform ship captains of the approach
Of their vessels TO the danger zone
has been perfected in connection with
the use of the system of submarine
bell signals in places where the bell
cannot be placed on a light ship or
lighthouse.
The electric bell is hung from q
tripod set on the bottom of the sea
at the edge of the shoal at the re-
quired point and this bell is struck
by mechanism operated by a cur
rent of electricity conveyed through
a cable from the signal station On
shore. Such a station at Point Aller-
ton, Mass, and another at the en-
trance to Halifax harbOr are operated
with cables more than two miles long.
The bell strikes any code that is
desired and the sound travels through
the water, so that vessels from five to
ten miles away hear it, and get direc-
tions accurately in a fog or at night
when equipped with a receiving appa-
ratus
The lighthouse board has made ar
rangements to place these submarine
signals on all light ships not already
so equipped, including the five vessels
approaching completion at the yards
Of the New York Shipbuilding COM
pany and the four to be built at the
Fore River yards at Quincy, Mass.
The board also has arranged for cleo
trio shore stations at the Delaware
harbor refuge and st Detroit, the en-
trance of st. Mary's river and Lake
Superior.
The Canadian government is install
ing such bells at st. Johns, LouisbuTg
and Yarmouth, and when the work
now ordered by the two governments
. is completed every important harbor

eRENADEs OF WAR OF 1912.
Ordnance Found at Fort MeHenFy ls
Over c injury Old.

Baltimore, Md-While examining
the contents of the ordnance store
house at Fort McHenry, Lieut.. J. %
HOlcOmbe, of the One Hundred and
Twenty-eighth coast artillery discov-
cred several boxes of old hand gren-
AIDES which are supposed to be more
than 100 years old.
The missiles are of the earliest
make used by the United States gov
ernment, and were probably placed at
the historic old fort when 1t was first
erected in 1912. Owing to the way in
which they were packed the grenades
had only the slightest trace of rust
on them.
The discovery of the weapons re-
calls a bit of the ancient history Of the
country. In explaining their use Lieut..
Holcombe said that the grenades were
handled only by the grenadiers of the
ship, who, walking out upon the yard
arms of the old-fashioned fighting YES
sells, threw them into the ranks of the
enemy. An explosion followed which
created havoc.
They weigh about four pounds and
are shaped after the fashion of the
bombs used by anarchists. and are
iron and loaded with gunpowder.
Several days after the discovery
one Of the new recruits 1t the fort
was found trying to dry the powder
in one of the missiles L } roasting it
on the fire. A report was made to
Lieut.. Watson, in command of the
post, who said that he intended to
write to the authorities and ask per
mission to dump them in the middle
Of the Chesapeake bay, as they were
so Old-fashioned that they would be
Of practically no use whatever in mod
