] Means of communication between on,
 ship and another. or between a ship ant | the shore. of however crude a nature, art known to have been in existence from
 the very earliest days of navigation, says
 London Answers.
 In many parts of the world watch tow CTS were utilized by night, and the method
 employed is to this very day practiced in uncivilized countries.
 The strength and utility added to our navy by wireless telegraphy can hardly be imagined. At the same time. 1t has its limitations
 In clear weather wireless telegraph is sufficient, but in thick weather. although 1t can be used for summoning help if will not give the exact position of the boat In danger, and the rescuing shin may be within few miles of the wreck. but unable to locate her for many hours
 Another method of communication is the use of fog horns, steam whistles. and sirens, but these are not always reliable, for the atmosphere performs some cu- rious tricks with sound.
 A noise made under water, however is an extremely reliable guide and can be heard at a greater distance than the same sound through air. The best way to recover watch which has dropned lnto the water is for the swimmer to be guided by the sound of the ticking.
 Ihis Is a scientific fact. the explana- tlon or which would entail a long. highly technical treatise, which would not en-
 lshten or entertain the average reader But 1t js fact which makes out a strong case for signalling by bells under the sea when safety is being considered
 The installation for receiving bell sound consists of two cast iron water tanks rixed against the skin of the ship on each side as far below the water line as possible Hanging within the tanks are telephone transmitters of special con- struction.
 The bell sound passes through the skin Of the ship and Is communicated through the water in the tanks. and thence to the receivers. The sound is then conveyed by telephone wires up to the bridge or chart house so as to be easiiy accessible to the officer of the watch.
 There are several means of dispatchine signals under water. A lightship, when her light is of no use, can perform Just the same duties by means of her own bell. Where lightship or light mousse Is not practicable. a bell buoy can De anchored at desired spot and con trolled from the shore, or from a light house, by means of an electric subma- rine cable.
 Submarine signalling is as yet in it's in- fancys but there can be little doubt. that sooner or later, it will be almost uni- versal.
 At present it has to combat certain ar- guments used against it.
 The chief of these is that in the hope of picking up a submarine bell a captain will enter dangerous waters when, other | wise. he would take no chances and give the place a wide berth This is based on l an entire misconception of the purpose of coast warning signals. which are simply aids to navigation and to enable the cap 1 tain to verify his position when close to shore.
 If. in order to do this. it is necessary to pick up a signal he should lit to-not I go hunting for it.

 Next to the satisfaction of knowing who may be referred to as professional people the census bulletin brings strik- ing information in regard to the num- bers of these professional individuals. Thus, in the decade from 1900 to 1910 there was an increase of 95 per cent In the number of men. and Ss per cent in the number of women actors.
