FOG SIGNALS AT SEA.
How ship Captains Are Guided By
the Sirens, or Horns. Through
the ChEnnsIs.

A large proportion of the disasters
at sea are due to fog. and any method
by which the whereabouts Of a vessel
can be aScertsined in thick weather
must be regarded as d great been. A
system Is now under trial al Fame
Point, on the Gulf Of St Lawrence. q
place where fogs occur frequently.
says Chambers Journal To un6er-
stand the nature Of the new fog-signal,
let US suppose that at a certain place
there are four powerful fog-hOrns,
spread out fanwise. so that each points
in different direction Each has its
distinctive speech, so many blasts,
long or short, sounding every minute
or so. These sirens can be heard. IN
der favorable conditions. al a distance
Of from 1910 20 miles. An approaching
ship, when il comes into the zone Of
sound. will hear all the sirens: but one
will be much palmer than the other
three. for the vessel viii be within its
particular arc Of sound. In a short
time, as the ship moves onward. 1t will
come within the influence Of the next
siren, and so on. As the captain OF the
ship possesses the key To each set of
signals, he soon notes which Is the
siren whose Sound-waves are most
distinctly audible; and. as he knows
the exact direction n which 1t points,
he can get very good idea of the pO-
sition Of his ship.

GIRLS ATE BIRD FOOD.
The LudIerous Mistake Made by two
PrIn English Young Women
An Paris.


Two English girls had ventured into
one Of the bonbongeries. or bakeries.
which in Paris are 50 attractive that
they are frequented in preference to
cafe BY persons in search Of a Light
luncheon.
The French soda-water fountain.
with its bewildering assortment Of
strange sirups, caught their fancy, but
as they had very few French words
IN their vocabulary they commended
themselves with ordering milk, relates
Paris paper.
On the counters were all kinds Of
the most MISUNDERSTANDING cookies. but
the girls were quite at loss as TO
what they were called, and it looked
as II they would have TO 20 hungry.
when one Of them thought Of the ex-
pedient Of helping herself. After a
careful inspection. she picked ont a
generous supply Of what appeared 10
De the Ightest-looking bread imagin-
able.
Ihe attendant offered to wrap it UP.
Tor the stun selected was a bird food.
and was greatly surprised when the
TWO ladies waved her aside and started
IN TO make luncheon Of it.
however unpalatable It must have
been, the frugal British maids seemed
20 think it a sin TO waste il. for they
oravely ate it and went out firmly
convinced that French cooking was a
deluSion and snare. while the little
waitress merely shrugged her pretty
shoulders and exclaimed:

trici"

wheat, possessing the fattening quail
