oSCMLATOR GIVES WARNING
AT SEA

MN electric oscillator, for use on
" ships, which announces the
presence OF another vessel,
locates icebergs, indicates sea
depths and provides for the trans
mission Of submarine telephone and
telegraph messages, is described in
the october Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The device consists prin-
cipally Of a 24-inch metal dia-
phragm attached to a cylindrical
case, within which is an electro
magnet actuating a copper sounder.
The oscillators, when in permanent
position, are placed inside Of a
ships skin, beneath the water line,
on both the port and starboard
sides. Vibrations of tne diaphragm
amounting to a movement of one
thousandth part Of an inch and re-
peated with great rapidity throw
out sound waves under the water
which may be caught by the re-
ceiving apparatus on another YES
sci. Signals Of this kind have been
heard at a distance of thirty miles,
while at shorter ranges numerous
telegraphic conversations have been
carried on successfully In one in
stance the experlmenters actually
talked between two ships. In locat-
ing icebergs, it is the echo which
gives warning Of the presence Of
danger.

FLEXIBILITY.

MN INVENTION designed to give
~ gas fixtures the flexibility Of
electric fixtures has been
placed on the market Heretofore 1t
has not been possible to make con-
nection for gas appliances with the
same ease as with electric fixtures
This advantage on the part Of cleo
tricity has been partly overcome by
wall plug for gas lamps, gas irons
and the like, which Is as inconspicu-
GUS as an electric plug contact, The
new contacts look very much like
electric ones, and are so arranged
that they close gas-tight, II not con-
nected. The connection is effected in
the same way as with electricity.
The invention is the work Of a Ger
man gas engineer.

toin that an object, which might
ordinarily be hit by and thrown un-

struck by the dished spool and
thrown to one side, out Of harms

has a set-lock or knock-off system
which permits the use Of a much
heavier compression spring than has
been used in previous air guns, de-
veloping a muzzle velocity Of 900
feet per second. From the fact that
crimping the base Of the ordinary
.22-caliber bullet causes deformities
of the base which are fatal to ac-
curacy, the new air rifle uses a
special sharp-nosed hollow bullet
which is free from this defect.
