Unquestionably."
what would they have DONE"
AS soon as they heard the propeller
noises of the attacking submarines,
which would have been some time be-
fore the cGcrman torpedoes We're
launched, they would have changed
their courses and gone ahead at full
speed. That would have hafflcd the
enemy. for submarines are slow going
craft and only dangerous when their
presence is not suspected. 1t is even
possible that the British cruisers,
knowing by dial indications the APP
proNimate distance and direction of the
submerged German vessels, could have
destroyed them by launching tor
pedoes of their own"
Not less startling in it's bearing on
the present war is the theory ad-
vanced convinCingly by the Submarine
Signal Company that the German raid
on the east coast of England in De-
cemher could never have taken place
If British dreadnoughts and super
dreadnoughts had been equipped with
listening oscllla;ors.
An Illustration Of the fact that the
propeller ana engine sounds of a sub
merged submarine may be detected by
distant vessel running along the
ocean surface was furnished several
years ago when the Submarine Signal
company actually demonstrated the
thing In Newport harbor at the re-
quest OF a United States naval Of
ficer.

The professor shook his head. THAT
l., true for dreadnoughts not equipped
with oscillatorst but for others that are
able to listen with electrical ears the
submarine becomes far less formidable.
The oscillator makes it possible for a
ships officer to hear the propeller
movements Of an enemys submarine

listing apparatus we can detect such
propeller sounds at a distance OF two
miles, and We have a sound amplify-
ing device that will extend this dis

declared the officer presently. The
submarine Is nowhere near here. I
know the course she was to take"
The signal man insisted he was
right however, and a little later the
submarine came to the surface at the
very spot indicated by the listening
apparatus. The officer was mistaken
and convinced.
Before coming to some remarka BILE
tests of the Fessenden oscillator made
by the United States Navy In the sum-
mer of 1914 on two Of its submarines,
IL may be we'll TO mention other tests
during the preceding year. which show
the difficulties and disappointments
that often attend the development of
a great invention.
The summer of 1918 found all going
we'll in the laboratory experiments and
il was decided to try the oscillator
practically on a large vessel. Arrange
ments were accordingly made with the
United States Navy authorities and os-
cillators were placed aboard the
battleships Delaware and Wyoming,
and extensive tests were made in
August and September during the
Fishers Island manGuvres.
Later in the same year oscillators
were placed aboard the submarines
d. and D-2 and tests were made at
Hampton Roads off the Virginia capes.
Much time and effort were consumed
in these experiments and high hopes
were raised, but when the final
achievement was considered the result
was found to be unsatisfactory. The
signal did not carry to the expected
distance and, on the whole, the new
oscillators were not found superior to
the old submarine bells.
Disappointed and perplexed, yet con-
fident that his basic idea was sound,
Prof. Fessenden went back to the fac
tory for weeks OF further investiga-
ton. What was the matter? Why
had his oscillator signals carried only
three or four miles when they should
have carried fifteen or twenty miles
Why?
Suddenly the answer flashed out Of
the turmoil in the inventors brain.
He saw that the oscillators had been
welded fast inside the steel skin of
the battleships and inside the steel ribs
of the submarines. with the result that
they had been forced TO vibrate
