The Commissioners announced last
night that they put the whole matter
up to the district attorney. because
they did not wish for any intimation that
they were willing to conceal any evil

that would reflect upon them Or Assessor
Richards. The Commissioners take the
same cheerful view Of the efforts Of Rep

House investigate the entire conduct of
the Commissioners.
Mr.. Kalbfus said yesterday he was in
the position of being charged with an

ferred. Mr.. Horstman bad merely sub

RUT what of the icebergs those great floating huks of

AS sound does travel in straight line in fog it is
almost impossible to prevent collisions by bells, horns,
and whistles.
Signaling Through the Seas
TT only after submarine signaling was invented
that ships had any adequate protection when rushing
through fogs All they could do to slow down. keep
double watch ahead, and trust to constant whistng
and footing of the foghorn to them from disaster
But ships equipped with submarine telephone devices
practically safe from many of the dangers that for
mery threatened.
The submarine signaling system simple, and is based
upon the principle that vibrations of the water will carry
messages just accurately air will carry wireless
signals There is boxlike contrvance attached to each
side of the ship beneath the water line. Installed in
this is bell which is sounded automatically when
sion requires in times of foggy weather The ringing
of this bell causes vibration Of the water, and it
travels along may be picked up by the submarine tee
phone another vessel in the vicinity In addition
to this each ship has submarine telephone receiver
attached the skin of the hull which is sensitive
enough to pick up any sounds in the water Wires run
from this telephone receiver to the wheelhouse. By
placing of the earpeces to the side of his head the
navigator distinctly hear bells on other ships

sharp drop in it brings the steamer down to half speed

Fighting Fire in Mid Ocean
NEXT to fogs, fire at sea has always been the most
- dangerous enemy to encounter. In the days OF
old wooden ships fire terrible experience. Ships
would then burn to the waters edge and the crew and
passengers had to take to the small boats. With the
coming of iron and steel ships the fire fend sup
posed to be less threatening; but number of tragic
fires which melted and twisted the metal hus quickly
dispeled any such decisions. With huge cargoes of in
fammable combustble material aboard steamer of
to-day may soon become fearful charnel house. When
this fact fully realized science took up the question
for the purpose of solving the problem The only rea
sonable way Of combating fire at sea is like that adopted
on shore. A fire early discovered quickly be
trolled is only when fire gets big start that it be-
comes unmanageabe.
Consequently inventors sought to prevent the spread
of fires spboard rather than fight them after they
had got under Roadway So the ships thermostat was
invented. and as mechanical means Of warning the
of fire aboard it accomplishes all that desired

Watching Over the Passengers

EVEN the individual passenger is considered on the
Il modern steamer, and his safety has been matter
of considerable study and experiment. Suppose man
should fall overheard when ship running fifteen
or twenty knots hour. Before the momentum of the
great mass through the water could be checked a
small boat lowered the man overheard would be mile
two astern. What provision could be made to save
him? That was the problem for many years; but to-
day it is easily solved

Overheard" the watch officer reaches up and gives tie
small hand wheel twist. Immediately there are re-
leased from the sides of the steamer several lite buoy
rings These drop into the water within few seconds
after the announcement that somebody has fallen over

suddenly flare up into red lights Each rng is equipped
with small tube containing chemical that produces
bright red flame when brought into contact with the
water This red light be at distance OF ten
or more miles the darkest of nights, and it will burn
for upward of an hour When man falls over
board after dark he instantly see the red light float
ing on the waves and if he any kind of swimmer he
will reach it and find the life ring. Meanwhile boats
are being lowered from the steamer and guided by the
red lights the sailors pick up the rings after another

temperature any particular place rises above certain

electric circuit and the ringing of bell in the

chart board indicate exactly in what part of the ship

run through most parts of the ship for fire use, and any
thing except bad confagration can be easily extn

steamer from probable disaster and greatly reduced the
risk of marine insurance. As silent little fire warning
device has paid for itself thousand times and every
navigator and member of the crew can rest in peace at
night confident that watchfu eye that sleeps is

Controlling Safety Bulkheads

WEARS ago ships had their hulls divided into Longitude
nal sections by watertight bulkheads. When this
invention was first tried it was far from perfect and in
times of emergency the bulkhead doors could not be
shut against the thrush of water Great improvements
have been made in these bukheads, and to-day ship
equipped with all the modern devices tor controlling ln;
collision ship should collide with another or strike
rock the turning of valve would instantly close
all the doors and divide the boat into watertght COM
partments This be done in less than minute, and
ships powerful automatic pumps are set going
could reach the of the disaster the pumps would
be throwing the water that had entered through
hole caused by the collision.
There are two methods of controlling watertght bulk
head doors. One is by electricity, and the other by
means of water pressure. Pipes run from huge tank
to each door, and power of eight hundred pounds can
be exered to each square inch Before the doors are
closed emergency warning gongs ring each door to
give notice to stand from underneath and five seconds
later the great half ton steel plates begin to close They
descend Slowly at first and then quickly and with
irresistible force. Up in the wheelhouse red light
flashes out to show when door is closed, and the
navigator knows instantly there is any trouble with

less apparatus perhaps have done
more to rob the sea of its terrors
than almost any device yet conceived
by man, and the future of wireless
in navigation, when all ships are
equipped with receivers and trans
mitters, must be of far reaching effect.
Timid passengers will then never get
beyond touch of land, and wrecks or
breakdowns will be known in port
within few minutes after they have
occurred. There will no longer be
repetitions of steamers floating idly
and lonely on the ocean for days and
weeks with disabled propellers or
broken shafts, simply through their
