But just as soon as darkness set in
and the captain began to suspect
that icebergs or other dangerous OBJ

come useful. OF its operation under
such circumstances Sir Hiram says:
1T should be used constantly send
ing out the blasts in every direction.
If 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 if 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, il
the result should be always the same,
it 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 as
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-.

Sir Hiram point out that in pro-

three distinct devices must be COM
bined: one for producing and sending
out the necessary sound waves, one
for'reeeiving the reflected waves and
making them audible by ringing bells
and another apparatus for recording
the amplitude of the waves. Here is

Only Decoration That the British Sol.

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 a value on medals as is usually
supposed.
Nearly al of these medals are for
the Boer v ar, and there is a special
government department with a STAFF
Of clerks endeavoring to trace the
owners. Besides these Boer war
medals, there are 1900 medals for the
Zulu war which have never 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 medal for Afghan.

Joined ON the outbreak of the war,
and, after it was over. scattered all

have not troubled to claim the medal,
alleging that 1t is too cheap, and con-
siderlng that 100000 of the medals
were struck, 1t is certainly never like

except that due to the action of the
ship or the sea waves, wavy line
is produced, but whenever the vibra-
tons sent out by the vibrator strike
an object and return, the wavy line
on the paper becomes very much 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 off of the vibra-
lions 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 on 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.

and when they come in contact with

to the ship in the same manner thai
sound would be reflected back, out
this echo would not 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 yibrate
freely in response to the waves of the
echo, and its vibrations are made to
open and close certain electrical cir
scuits which ring a series of bells of
various sizes. If, for example, the
object is very small or at very great
distance from the ship, very small

WAR MEDALS NOT CLAIMED

few medals were issued: The first
medal ever issued was that given to
the Elizabethan seamen who defeated
the Armada, and the earliest military
decoration was a silver badge issued
nv Charles / in 1913 for presentation
to soldiers who had distinguished
themselves in forlorn hopes.
Waterloo was the first occasion
when there was a general issue of
medals, and since that time, instead
of issuing too few medals, England
has gone, perhaps TO the other ex-
IRENE. Soldiers point out that the
same decoration is awarded to the
man who has been fighting at the
front and carrying his life in his
hands for months, as to the man in a
regiment which has never stirred
from the base OF operations or so
much as seen the enemy.
Every effort is made by the author
tiles to see that medals reach their
owners, and If the owner of a medal
happens to be dead the medal is for
warded to his next of kin. Yet there
are still large numbers unclaimed.
and according to the regulations now
in force, at the end of ten years
time the medals will be broken up
and the silver debited to the mint.

decoration OF quite another character,

Briefly stated, he wishes to provide
ships with sixth sense, repre-
scented by an apparatus that will send
out vibrations and record ninutely
the echoes" caused by them il they
strike against any hard object near
the ship an iceberg, for example.
Sir Hiram got his idea Of this sixth
sense from the bat, which, according
to him and other scientists, possesses
such sense, and is able by means OF
IL to find it's way about in the dark
with perfect ease.
The inventor explains his invention
in a pamphlet just published by him
in London. THE wreck of the Titantic
was a severe and painful shock to US
ALL" he writes. Il asked myself: Has
science reached the end of its tether?
Is there no possible means of avoid
ing such a deplorable loss of life and
property At the end of four hours
1t occurred to me that ships could be
provided with what might be ap-
propriately called a sixth sense, that
would detect large objects in their
immediate vicinity without the aid
of a searchlight.'
Then Sir Hiram set to work to
study the bats peculiar possession
in an endeavor to apply it to prevent
ing marine collisions, and soon hit
upon the idea which he now makes
public Before describing the new
Maxim apparatus it is well to set
| down what he has to say about that
which inspired it, the sixth sense of
the bat.
Every naturalist that has either
experimental on bats or writes on
the subject" he says, seems to adj
NIT that the extraordinary append
ages attached to the bats face are
organs of perception more or less
allied to the sense of feeling. but
not one of them, so far as | can learn,
| has ever suggested that these organs
are for the purpose Of receiving the
echo from the vibrations of the wings.
1 think / was the first to discover this.
The inventor goes on to show that
the wings of the bat are extremely
| sensitive and very we'll provided with
nerves, which is also true of the va
rious organs of the bats face These
| nerves, he maintains, are intimately
| connected with each other and with
the brain. Thus a bat, flying about
/ in total darkness, seers out, by
means of it's wings, series of pulsa-
tions or wave-like sound waves, but
too low to be considered a sound
These waves, striking against all
/ surrounding objects, are reflected
back to their source, just as sound
and light are, and these reflections
of the vibrations, being received by
the sensitive organs on the face Of
the bat, enable 1t to judge the dis
lance to any object by the lapse of
time between the sending out and
the receiving of the waves.
Coming, then, to his collision pre-
venter. Sir Hiram says:
Suppose now that We construct an
apparatus that will produce atmo-
spheric vibrations of about the same
/ frequency as those produced by the
bat, but instead OF using the infini.
tesimal amount of energy employed
/ by the bat, we use 200 or 300-horse
| power-that is, we send out waves
that have an amplitude and energy at
least 100000 times as great as those
sent out by the bat. These vibra
tions, although of great energy, will
not be audible to our ears, but they
will shake UP and agitate light OBJ
