WIRELESS ON The
BIG FREIGHTERS
AMERICAN-HAWAIIAN STEAMERS
TO HAVE BOTH WIRELESS AND
SUBMARINE BELLS.

HILO, August 27-The Mexican
brought word that as soon as can
be arranged the whole American-H
waiian fleet will be equipped both with
wireless telegraph and with the new
submerged bell signal system. Wire
less stations are being established along
the California, Oregon, Washington,
and British ColumbianJ coasts and
in a few years all ships will be able
to communicate with the shore though
hundreds of miles at sea. The All
seems determined to keep ahead of
events in this matter. The submerged
bell system is not generally so well
known even as is the wirelss system
of telegraphy, thought many patents
have been issued for it and the scientf-
fic journals have discussed it at length
1t has been established that sound
travels through water for a remark
able distance, and disturbances on the
surface affect this in no way. With
this in view, bells are sunk many
miles from shore where, controlled by
electrical communications, they are
rung during stress of weather. On
ships equipped for the service there
are placed what are literally ears
which receive the warning note from
away below the water line. Each light
station along the Pacific coast is so to
be equipped, and while the whole
scheme will require time to work out,
the big liners which are seen in this
port from week to week will be among
the first to adopt it.

LECTURE ON PANAMA.
j. r. Hume Tells of WOrk on the
Canal and Makes Com parsons.

John Floyd Hume, who returned recently from
Panama, after a thorough examination on the
isthmus. lectured last night at the Waldorf
Astoria on Panama and the Canal The Iect-
ure was illustrated with 12l slides of views,
maps and diagrams. Mr.. Hume's method Of
bringing home to his audience the Importance
OF the work going at Panama was novel and
comprehensive. He demonstrated the distances
and extent OF the work by making comparisons
that were easily understood. The last two pict-
ures for instance. were those OF the Statue OF
Liberty and the Flatron Building standing in
the deep cut Of Gold Hill. Mr.. Hume said:
To New Workers.. who are accustomed to big
buildings big bridges and big railway stations,
the canal can best be described by comparison.
The canal zone is strip of land ten miles wide
and forty five miles long or about the area OF
Greater New York The lakes that viii De

Astoria, and they must continue 20 do this. and
more. every two weeks for the next seven years
The locks at the two ends OF the canal will
each be just as long and half wide OF
the blocks Of houses between Fifth and Sixth
avenues.
Five miles from the Atlantic mouth OF the
canal the Chagres River valley runs between
two hills that are mile and half apart. Back
OF these hills others which form the rim OF
the basin that is to inclose the ChagreS Lake.
Between these hills the canal builders purpose
constructing a wall of mud reinforced with con-
crete and rock This wall will be 1876 feet high.
