To Calculate Longevity.

longevity and its earmarks," said a
physician, "and Bacon's signs Of long

soft, fine hair, fine skin, quick
growth, large head. early corpulence,
short neck, small mouth, brittle and

to be connected to either OF the two
microphones.
Several of the lighthouses on the
coast of America and some, the writer
believes, on that Of the United King
dom are fitted with bells as described
above, which are rung at certain inter-
walls, each lighthouse having different
number of beats, so that any particu-
lar lighthouse is distinguished by its
bell, just as in clear weather 1t Is dis
tinguished by the arrangement Of it's
lights. An approaching ship can tell
within very close approximation, as
mathematicians would say, how it lies
with regard to the lighthouse, because
the bell will be heard loudest in that
microphone on the side Of the ship on
which the lighthouse Is. and the officer
Of the watch can steer accordingly.
All ships carry red light at night
on the left hand. or port, side and a
green light on the right hand. or star
board side, while all steamers carry
In addition white light showing on
both sides. Neither Of the lights can
be seen astern or for some distance
toward the bows, the limit being what
sailors call two points abaft the beam.
q little astern OF her middle point, SO
that when approaching a ship from
astern no lights are visible to the APP
preaching ship, but her full lights are
visible from the ship approached.
When two ships are approaching
each other from opposite directions end
on, each ship will see the others two
or three lights and can easily, steer to
keep out Of each others way. There
is d simple rule for this, and incidental
~ 1t may be mentioned that the dan
ger is least in this case, provided that
both ships are properly handled. The
danger Of collision arises principally
from ships crossing each other, and for
this also there are simple rules gov
erned by what is called the rule Of the
road. Leaving out the question of sail
ing ships for the moment the ship
which has the other, the crossing ship,
on her own right hand (starboard) side
has to keep out Of the way, and 1t does
SO by turning; slightly to the right, o.
to starboard, presenting her left side
to the other ship.
Whenever ship has to give way to
another the color, Of the light of the
other ship is on the same side as that
to which the helm must be moved.
Thus when red light Is seen on the
right hand (starboard) side the helm
Is put to port, the side of the light
seen. Similarly when sailing ship IL
crossing from port to starboard, show
ing her green light, that carried on her
starboard side. the steamer puts her
helm to starboard to clear. This rule
could be followed quite as easily with
sound signals.

THE BELL IN The SEA
How Ocean Liners Hear Their
Way In Thick Weather.
FOG SIGNALS UNDER WATER.

Method by Which the Submerged
Gong Is Operated and the Apparatus
BY Which tho Sound ls Picked Up
Miles Away-Port and starboard
Lights.
. To those who 60 down to the sea in
ships probably no discovery in recent
times has been Of more Importance or
tends more to save life than that of
the possibility Of signaling from ship
to ship and from ship to shore by
sound, writes Sidney n. Walker in the
London Mail. 1t literally, when fully
developed, win enable steamers. to
''kear" their way under all conditions
of weather and particularly in fog just
as well as they now see their way on
clear nights by the aid of the lights
that each ship carries and those dis
tributed round the coast Of every civ
ilized country.
The whole apparatus hinges upon
the fact that water is good conduct.
or Of sound The readiest example
Of this of which the writer is aware is
to be found usually at mineral baths.
There is nearly always pumping going
on in connection with the baths, but
under ordinary conditions the pump is
not heard. When undressing, for In
stance, to enter the bath one can very
rarely hear the pump, but Immediately
one is in the bath if one places ones
head under water the pump is almost
painfully evident, and an engineer
could easily count the strokes had he
watch at hand.
For signaling purposes a bell is en-
ployed, immersed some distance under
the water and inclosed in a chamber,
the hammer being worked by COM
pressed air operated from the surface.
The sound Of the strokes on the bell
is transmitted to a distance Of several
miles and can be heard by suitable APP
paratus. The hearing apparatus con-
sists Of microphone, modification
of that we use every time we speak to
the telephone, inclosed in chamber
inside the ship and connected with the
bridge by wires in the usual way.
The microphone chamber Is filed with
a special liquid which the inventors
have found to answer the purpose
best, and there are, as at present ar
ranged, one chamber and one micro
phone on each bow below the water
line. In the chart house on the bridge
are a pair of telephone receivers, sim
liar to those we put to our ears when
we talk through the telephone on shore,
and a switch, enabling the receivers

Carried of Her Dead Baby.

Some strange and grewsome idea has led a French woman, presumably not sane, to disinter her dead baby twice, and to disappear the second time with the body. She was first seen apparently tampering with a grave in cemetery near Arpajon, to the south of Paris, and was found to have laid upon 1t baby's remains. She had dug these up from another cemetery and wanted to inter them again in her husbands grave. The remains were taken from her, and placed in a provisional tombs. A few days later the latter was found to have been broken open, and the body had disappeared. A few days before the woman had announced her inten- ton of making off with the remains, as she wanted to have her dead baby with her awhile. She has gone from the town where she was staying near the cemetery, and has not yet been traced

How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe and Reliable Way,
and it Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from It well know
the miseries Of catarrh. There is no
need of 1t. You can get rid Of 1t by a
home treatment originated by DR.. ].
w. Blosser. who for over thirty-three
years has been engaged in the treat
ment of catarrh in all its various forms.
His treatment is unlike anything you
ever tried. 1t is not an atomizer spray.
douche. salve, cream or any such thing.
but it is a direct and thorough local
application that clears out the head,
nose, throat and lungs, so that you can
again breathe the free air and
sleep without that choking. stopped-up
feeling that all catarrh sufferers have.
1t avoids the wear and tear of internal
medicines which ruin the stomach. 1t
will heal up the diseased membranes
and thus prevent colds, so that you will
not be constantly blowing your nose
and splitting.
If you have never tried DR.. Blosser's
discovery, and want to make a test of
it without cost. send your address to
DR.. J. w. Blosser. $50 Walton street,
Atlanta, Ga, and he will send you en-
tirely free enough to satisfy you that
1t is real, genuine remedy for ca
tarrh, scratchy throat, stopped-up feel
ing in the nose and throat, catarrhal
headaches. catarrhal deafness, etc. He
will also send you free an illustrated
booklet, which will show you how you
can treat yourself privately at home.
