Only Decoration That the British Sol.
diers Value Highly Is the
Victoria Cross"

The fact that there are no fewer
than $4,000 medals stored at Wool
witch awaiting claimants causes one
to wonder whether the soldier puts so
high value on medals as is usually
supposed.
Nearly all OF these medals are for
the Boer war. and there is a special
government department with stan
of clerks endeavoring to trace the
owners. Besides these Boer war
medals. there are 1000 medals for the
Zulu war which have pever been
claimed. and even to this day belated
claims are still put in for medals for
the Crimea and Indian mutiny.
A short time ago. for example, a
veteran named James Crystal applied
for and received a medal for Afghan
istan. after lapse of thirty years.
Most of the Boer war medals at
Woolwieh belong to irregulars. who
Joined on the outbreak Of the war.
and. after 1t was over. scattered all
over the world But many regulars
have not troubled to claim the medal.
alleging that 1t is too cheap. and con-
sIderins that 100000 Of the medals
were struck, 1t is certainly never like
~ to become a rarity.

great amplitude and power they are
able to- travel over great distances,
and when they come in contact with
body the waves are reflected back
to the ship In the same manner that
sound would be reflected back, but
this echo would net be audible to the
human ear.
Il therefore provide an apparatus
which might be considered as an arti-
fetal ear. 1t is provided with a large
diaphragm tightly drawn over a
drum-shaped cylinder. and SO ar
ranged that the atmospheric pressure
is always the same on both sides,
quite irrespective of any air blast. 1t
is therefore always able to vibrate
freely in response to the waves of the
echo. and its vibrations are made to
open and close certain electrical cir
scuits which ring series of bells OF
various sizes. If, for example, the
object Is very small or at very great
distance from the ship, very small

jects for a considerable distance, and
will travel at least 20 miles, so that
they could be received and recorded
by a suitable apparatus at that dis
lance, and would be able to travel
at least five miles and send back to
the ship reflected echo that would
be stro- g enough to be detected"
Sir Hiram point out that in pro-
viding a ship with sixth sense"
three distinct devices must be COM
bined: one for producing and sending
out the necessary sound waves. one
for receiving the reflected waves and
making them audible by ringing bells
and another apparatus for recording
the amplitude of the waves. Here is
his description of the apparatus he
has invented:
For producing the vibrations Of
waves prefer to use modified form
of siren. the disk being rotated at a
suitable speed by motor of some
kind. preferably an electric motor.

But just as SOON as darkness set in
and the captain began to suspect
that icebergs or otter dangerous OBJ
jects were close at hand. it would be-
come useful Of it's operation under
such circumstances Sir Hiram says:
1t should be used constantly send
ing out the blasts in every direction.
II the sea were perfectly clear. the
blasts sent out would be recorded at
the very instant of their production,
but no echo would be returned other
than that due to the waves of the sea.
which would provide a zigzag line OF
small amplitude; but II there should
happen TO be an object Of any con-
siderable size at distance no greater
than two or three miles, the zigzag
line on the paper would be changed,
the amplitude of the waves would be
greater and would be very noticeable.
ITO make sure, the blasts could be
repeated several times; and then. II
the result should be always the same,
1t would indicate the presence of some
object and the length of paper be-
tween the primary blast and the echo
would indicate the distance that the
object was from the ship. 1t might
be SO arranged that one inch Of paper
represented mile.
The receiving instruments can be
placed anywhere on the ship where
they can be turned in the same d.
rection that the siren is turned. and
there may be as many of them a.
desirable"
Sir Hiram points out that there are
vastly more accidents to ships caused
by running ashore than by collision.
and that coast does not need to pre-
sent very bold sea front to produce
very strong echo" on bis appara-
tus. II ship provided with his ap-
paratus was approaching the coast Of
Ireland. he says. the echo would b
sufficiently strong to show itself ovsr

instead of ringing . bell 1t produces
diagram of the disturbances in the
air-that is. when there is no noise
except that due to the action of the
ship or the sea waves, wavy line
is produced, but whenever the vibra-
lions sent out by the vibrator strike

on the parcr becomes scsy z-vch In.
creased in amplitude, so as to be cas-
lily observed, and the distance that the
object is from the ship can be meas
ured by the length Of the paper strip
between the giving on of the vibra,
tons and the receiving of the echo;
therefore. the distance can be de-
termined with considerable degree
OF nicely. and the size of the object
may be determined by the amplitude
OF the waves that return.
The inventor says that the appara-
tus for producing the atmospheric
vibrations should be placed we'll for
ward en- the main deck of the ship
or in any position where it can be
turned about from port to starboard.
1t should be secured to the deck very
firmly. and connected, by means of
three-inch pipe. with high-pres-
sure boiler. A straightaway valve
should be placed in the pipe near
the boiler, and some means should
be found of preventing the accumula-
ton of water in the pipe leading to
the apparatus
Except in foggy or stormy weather.
the apparatus would be merely orna-
mental. of course, until it were used
for communicating with other ships.
