navigation have been overcome by the
modern palatial steamers that ply between
America and Europe. Ships carry wire
less telegraph instruments and submarine
sounding-bells, so that even in fogs cap
tains can tell when another ship is in
the neighborhood, and thus avoid collisions.
But an iceberg is different. 1t carries no
wireless apparatus and makes no response
to submarine bells and telephone signals.
White and ghostlike it looms up suddenly
out Of the darkness or fog and crashes
down upon the Inflated ship that crosses
its path. BY wireless, ships finding ice
bergs make reports, and in this way track
Is kept Of the great floating dangers.
The government every summer and fall
makes out an iceberg chart. When some
ship reports an iceberg in certain lati-
tude and longitude a little red dot is
placed on the iceberg chart. 1t is drifting
in a southerly direction, and allowances
are made for so many miles of advance
every twenty-fOur hours. So the red dot
is moved slowly forward. But adverse
winds, seas and currents may change the
course of the berg, and this sort Of reck-
oning may prove all wrong.
Then another ship reports the same or
another Iceberg in a different place. More
red dots appear on the chart, and as the
season advances the danger points increase.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-22

These charts are issued as warnings to
mariners.
But even with all OF these efforts to
plot out the floating bergs, the danger OF
c%olliding with one is always present. An
adverse wind may have driven one far
out Of its course. or a big one has broken
In two and the halves have floated wide
apart. The icebergs are dangerous OBJ
structions to navigation on clear, dark
nights as well as in times of fog. They
carry no lights, and they cannot be de-
tected in the dark until close upon a ship.
Experienced sea captains possess a certain
instinct for detecting the presence Of ice
bergs. Some captains claim that they can
smell an iceberg miles away. Something
in the atmosphere warns them of the dan
ger and they double the watch and reduce
speed until out of the danger zone. Then,
again, when near an iceberg the air grows
suddenly cold and chilly, and sometimes
there is a drop OF several degrees in the
temperature.
On the other hand, many instances are
on record Of lcebergs crashing out OF the
dark without any warning and wreck!ng
ships. Marvellous escapes and disastrous
wrecks have thus been recorded.
The ocean liner has little more chance OF
escape in collision with an iceberg than
the smallest sailing craft. The rotten ice
towering hundreds of feet above the water
level is ready to fan in great masses the
moment a slight shock is given TO its base
or sides. Many unaccounted disappear
ances of ships and steamers are attributed
to tragic collisions with icebergs. ships and
all on board going TO the bottom without
so much as a remnant left to tell the tale.
To this cause mariners and marine insur-
ance companies attribute the mysterious
vanishing Of the City OF Boston from the
face Of the ocean with all its passengers.

ROentEen Rays.

-HE journal Of the Roentgen So
~ olety contains an illustrated pa
per by Mr.. j. II. Gardiner on
0 the origin, history and develop
IEITSlMI ment Of the Roentgen-ray tube.
SsSsSSS The counc of the society has
recently got together a collection OF tubes
showing the development of the modern APP
paratus from the original Crookes tubes
used by Roentgen in 1896, and has presented
It to the authorities OF the South Kensington
museum. Several OF the improvements IL
Illustrated by the collection are discussed
by Mr.. Gardiner, but the most important
step taken recently appears 10 be the sub
stitution OF tantalum for platinum in the
Gnti-kathode by Messrs. Siemens. The
higher melting point OF tantalum makes
It possible to employ currents of thirty
milliamperes through the tube. With a
well-focussed tube a current OF this mag
nitudo will melt the front surface OF a
tantalum anti-kathode one millimeter
thick, and Mr., Gardiner advocates the
use OF a magnet to direct tho kathode
ray to a new portion Of tho surface.
