To MAKE SEA SAFE
Remarkable New Invention Is
Wireless Long Distance Mirror
Its Purpose Is to Convey an Image !"
the Same Manner That SOUNDS Arc
Now Communicated to Dis
tant Points.

New YOrk.-A remarkable
pregnant with useful possibilities Is
the wireless long-diStanCe mirror its
purpose, in brief. is to convey an III
age in the same manner that souhus
are now communicated.
1t is a radical improvement on the
Old-time camera obscura, a structure
in which the real image of an object
is projected upon a white table or 0tn-
er plane surface. Not only does the
new apparatus reflect on a mirror all
objects located and all happenings oc'
curing within a much greater area
than the camera obscura, but it oper-
ates at night.
Just how the machine works has not
yet been revealed, but the machine IS
known to consist Of a web Of wires az
tached to a tall mast, and it is this
web Of wires which receives the i'm.
pressions and projects them on the
mirror located at the base of the
mast.
The principal value of the new ap.
paratus will be in it's application to
ships. 1t is expected to prevent col.
lisions with other ships, icebergs or
derelicts by disclosing the where
abouts of such dangers to the lookout
long before the vessel comes within
striking distance. The image of every
object within a radius of two or three
miles is thrown on the mirror, and at
night or in fog the value of such an
to the mariner could hardly
be overestimated.
1t is claimed, too, that the long-dis-
lance mirror would prove a valuable
aid to armies in time of war, reveal

ingredients.
Two cupfuls of sifted pastry -four.
One-half teaspoonful of salt.
One.half teaspoonful of baking pow
der.
One-half cupful of lard and butter.
Method.
All ingredients must be cold. In
warm weather it is best to make the
paste the day before baking and chill
ing it in the ice box. In fact paste
can be kept a number of days and il
the family is small bake only as many
at a time as will be needed. Sift all
dry ingredients together, then rub
shortening in with the finger tips until
flour resembles coarse meal; stir the
water in with a fork, then gather up
the paste and any dry PARTICLES that
remain into Toured hands, and press
together like putty. Paste made in
this way requires very little for roll
ing and is tender even after rolling a
second time.

.Improvised Wardrobe.

A wardrobe that will do very well
may be made from eight soap boxes
of equal size. The boxes should be
nailed together. standing on end, with
the openings facing front. The width
of the closet should be that of two
boxes, making the height that of four.
On the right-hand side knock out the
shelves entirely, to allow for hang.
ing clothes, and put a pole across for
skirt hangers, or insert hooks. The
opposite side may be used for hats or
smaller articles. Hang a cretonne
curtain in front to keep out the dust,
and paint the top and sides any de-
sired color.
