Do You Know

Mr.. F. G. Browne, OF Melbourne,
Australia, has invented an ingenious
machine for cleaning the hulls of
ships below the water line. In this
contrivance a water tight dynamo
drives a revolving brush that is held
firmly against the hull of the ship by
a small propeller. After the machine
has been lowered by a crane from a
small boat alongside the steamer the
end that holds the rapidly revolving
brush is worked up and down the
sides of the vessel It is stated that
the machine can clean an eight thou
sand-ton steamer in six or seven
hours.
Experimental tests have been made
in Chicago of a semaphore for the
control of street traffic at the cross
ings. The semaphore is broadly sim
liar to those used in railroad service.
1t is operated by the policeman on
duty at the crossing, and it can be
seen 100 yards away.

Christmas Parcels

The Christmas mail, always heavy at
the Waterville postoffice, started in yes
terday with rush, and all the employees
from Postmaster Richardson to the spe-
cial delivery messengers were unusually
busy in dspatching and handling same
Teams were used in delivering parcel
post packages all over the city, in addi-
ton to the regular carriers. Quite
of packages the parcel post car
riers were unable to deliver as the pa
irons did not respond to repeated ring
ing of the door bells. If people expect
ing Christmas parcels, as most everyone
is at this season, would arrange TO leave
at the house when they are
away themselves, or leave the front door
unlocked so that parcels may be left in
side the doors, 1t will do away with the
necessity of returning the parcels to the
office for another delivery next day, as
the carriers are not allowed to leave any
kind of mail matter on piazzas or steps.
Mail packages early in the day don't
wait until afternoon, as you can get
service If you will come to the
office in the morning.. tie and wrap Sc
curely, and see that they are plainly adj
dressed with both the sender's and ad-
dressee's name and full address.

PRISONERS OF WAR ARE
TRANSFERRED TO PRISON SHIPS

South End, Eng, Dec. 12-(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press).-
German prisoners who We're interned
at the race track at Newbury, con-
corning which so many complaints
were made in German papers, have
been moved to other places, many of
them being on three English prison
ships which are now docked here in
command of Colonel De Cordes, a re-
tired officer who had long experience
in charge of prison camps in the
South African war.
German prisoners are delighted with
the transfer to the rooms in prison
ships where they can keep warm and
dry, in contrast to the unfavorable
conditions under which they lived un-
der canvas and in stables at Newbury
race course.
Each of the three ships here has
about 800 Germans on board Sanitary
conditions are excellent on the ships
and it is not unlikely that more vessels
will be added to the prison fleet, as
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-12-22

this means of caring for Germans is
especially satisfactory.
The prisoners on the ships eat from
CHINA and live much as passengers on
an ordinary sea voyage would, except
that their belongings are carefully
searched and military discipline is en-
forced.
At Queens Ferry, in Wales. an un-
used iron works has been taken over
for the use of prisoners and several
hundred men are quartered in the
building. The establishment overlooks
the sea and is surrounded by several
acres of land enclosed in high board
fence on three sides. The prisoners
have large ground for football, base
ball and other sports.
Lack of employment is the great
problem in all the prison camps. Bad
weather makes sports impossible and
the men are unable to amuse them
selves satisfactorily in their cramped
quarters. In many of the camps they
have learned to knit and busy them
selves making socks and neck scarfs,
