RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL NEXT SESSION
Members Insisting Upon
Measure at Special Meet
ing in March.

A movement is being organized in
Congress to bring about the passage Of
a fun grown river and harbor bill at the
special session to be called by President
Taft for tariff revision.
There isn't any force in Congress quite
as large and enthusiastic as the friends
Of waterway Improvement. They have
ben disappointed greatly over their In
ability to get a general river and harbor
bin at this session. and it will require
tremendous efforts on the part OF the
leaders to prevent the passage Of such a
Dill at the extra session. II q bill is
passed u will be Of the $50, 900, 600 class,
and such a draft on the treasury, say
the leaders, viii come at a time when
they Will be engaged in a desperate ef-
Tort to raise revenue needed TO meet the
deficit Of @l25,c09,00 in Uncle Sam s
finances.
Treasury deficiency is not admitted by
the friends Of river and haTboT improve
ments as good reason for not passing
a bill They call attention to the fact
that there was a shOrtge of revenue in
1894, 1885, and 1896, but in the latter year a
river and harbCr bin, carrying SO, 000, O0C
was Eassed. In 1899, after three years
OF deficiencies, a 100000 bill was
passed.

WIRELESS HAS RIVAL -
IN SUBMARINE BELL
ONT Invention Of Chicago and Boston Man Destined to
Accomplish Wonders, Is Opinion Of Many Modem
iMarnes-E1ow 1t Works.

OF almost equal Importance with the
wireless telegraph, and following hard
upon the heels Of the Marcoui system s
development, is the submarine bell or
submarine telegraph, as il is vaTiousiy
known.
This signal which is rapidly becoming
universal, is *he joint invention OF
Prot Elisha Gray, of Chicago, and
Arthur J. Muuday. Of Boston The un-
seen but alert little ''jokeT.' a faithful,
accurate, truth-telliuc metallic voice
within the various ships involved I'm the
marine mishap Of last Saturday or
Nantucket, played 2 part almost as im-
rortaut as the wonderful transferreuce
OF signals and mesa ges on the Hertzian
waves.
As simplhed by the most recent I'M
provements and developments the wire
less signal now consists of two very
modest parts. one the ''spea king ap-
paratus. consisting Of a submerged bell
OF 2 design adapted to produce sounds
in the water, and the receiving para
pheTnalia on a vessel. The latter picks
up the sound OF the bell and enables the
pilot not only 10 determine It's direction
but also the distance away of the ship,
reef or light vessel, TO which the tell
tale bell is attached.
When fixed to a ligutship the boil Is
suspended 10 a depth of about twenty
five feet, where It is tolled at regular
intervals by an automatic steam OF
electric mechanism.
For the purpose of sending forth sig
nais from a vessel i'm motion the bell
OF gong, Is located inside the hull of the
ship far forward and snugiy 10 the
outer skin OF the fabric. Il can be rung
