a SUBMARINE SIGNAL. \

An invention lately patented by
Professor r.. "A. Fessen don, Of Bos-
ton. Is believed to have solved the
problem of the transmission of sound
under water from one vessel to an
other. This new instrument. which is
called the oscillator, affords the YES
sci equipped with it an absolute de-
tense against coming unawares upon
the deadly submarine 1t will also
enable a Warship to talk to its own
submarines while they are sub
merged and miles away, and in this
way to direct their movements against
the enemy.
The osctllator will'not only be use
full in war times, but will be safe
guard to all large vessels In warning
them of the proximity of other yes
sells or of icebergs. Tt will overcome
the possibility Of such disasters as
sbefell the Titanic and the Empress
Of Ireland.
The oscillator is sort Of subma-
rine sounding apparatus no larger
than an ordinary sewing mainline. 1t
can send it's warning through the
water four times as fast as sound
can be transmitted through the air.
Tt has a drum-head of solid steel
which is vibrated by electrical cur
rents. 1t makes a tremendous noise
when sounded above water. When
submerged lit is hardly noticeable eS-
4cept when the5ear of the operator is
applied to the steel plate receiving it.
It's vibrations have already been
heard for thirty miles and it is be-
lieved this distance will be increased.
It's warnings are received by a mi
5crophone connected with an ordinary
telephone headpiece, through which
the listener on deck may hear signals

has already been used by almost every
tourist, who visits the volcano. as
soon as he gets back to Honolulu Up
on the post cards which he carefully
scorched over a Fl assure In the lava
around the rim. he writes to his
friends that Kilauea looks exactly
like the old fire and brimst con
ception Of hell. Thus Kilauea has
been compared to hell until hell has
lost all effect as descriptive sub
stantive so far as ktlauea is concern
ed. Therefore, we will reverse
the process, and instead Of saying
that kllauea is a little hell. we will
say that 1t is a melting pot filled with
iron and sulphur heated until the
metal Is liquid fire. and the sulphur / 8
rising in yellow fumes. and then e1-
banded to a width Of nine miles.
Imagine yourself clinging to the edge
of this melting pot and looking down
Hfearfully into It's seethfng, suffering
fury, with the yellow sulphur fumes
crawling UP your nose clear to your
diaphragm. and you have as fair a
secondhand Impression of kilauea as
1t is possible to get.
The government has built an iron
porch on the edge OF Kilauea and
there. at an expense of about $40, 900
a year. it maintains corps OF vo1ca-
nologists, who spend their days try
ing to take the great volcanoes tenn
perature and feel it's pulse. and specu-
latings as to the why and wherefore or
IT, But for all their money and
pains they have gotten literally
nothing. ktlauea, writing like a
live thing at the bottom OF its pit,
|muttering and breathing sulphur
fumes, remains a mystery.
