THE POWER OF SOUND AT SEA.


What seems new knowledge is in some
instances, new only in its application. For
long we have known that sound travels
better through water than through air. 1t
travels four times as fast. We can tell ex-
actly how far q storm-centre is from us by
noting the time taken to reach us by the
thunder-clap after Il stroke of lightning.
Eleven hundred feet q second is the
rate sound travels in the air; 400 fe ct u
second is the rate sound travels through
water. This fact has been turned to nc
count in various ingenious ways for signal
ing under water at sea, and now Profe ,sor.
Fessenden, an Amrican scientist, has used
the knowledge to give ships and submarines
Gears. That is what it comes to, though
he calls the ears diuphragms, or oscillators.
When Il submarine is stealthiiy creeping
along under water, her presence is not f t
on the threatened ship unless her periscope
becomes visible. "Give the ships enrs, aud
let them hear" says the Professor; and he
does 1t. Sensitive diuphragms ale placed.
ore to each side of the ship, under water.
10 these instruments electric wires are at
tuched, running to an apparatus which mag
nities the sound anu records the positions
from which it comes and the distance of
the approaching vessel.
We cannot see or hear the submerged
submarine, but its propellers make sounds
in the wal er with every revolution. These
sounds can be detected by the new osclla-
tors They eah be heard ordinarily two m1es
away. With a more powerful installa ion,
sounds have been heard which have travel
led through 80 miles of water. The higher
the power, and the more sensitive the iustru-
ments employed, the greater the distance
from which sound can be detected.
The whole idea seems wonderful, yet it
is simple, as many of our greatest i venlions
are. The sound made by the propellers
travels through the water III all directions
aud strikes both sides of the ship in turn,
but the near side receives a stronger i'm
pulse than the other, so that the delicacy
of the instrument enables the watcher to
know whether his enemy is coming from
the right or left. The other instruments

vegetables which are not we'll enough

Carrot and Nut Loaf.-To one cup
full of boiled and mashed carrots add
some well-beaten egg, half cupful
of chopped walnuts, one finely minced
onion, tablespoonful of butter, melt
ed, half teaspoonful of salt, dash
OF pepper and bread crumbs to make a

be sufficient. Form into a loaf and
bake In creased pan half an hour.
Serve hot with tomato sauce.
Carrots Flamande.--Boil carrots un-
til tender without scraping them, then
rub off the skin and cut in strips. In
to saucepan put butter; when melt

rots, season well with salt and dash
of cayenne and sprinkle with chopped
parsley after they have become heated
ready to serve.
cooked carrots add half cupful of
cream and beaten egg, one teaspoon
full of butter, melted, half teaspoon
full Of sugar and fourth of tea
spoonful of salt. Mix well, pour into
creased custard cups and bake half
an hour or until they are pulled up

Delicious as well as attractive-look-
ing soups may be made of carrots. Us.

table. Then the conversation Is
most important; where there are chill.
dren whose ideals must be formed,
the table talk may be the means of
shaping their entire lives. Petty gos-
sip, criticism and time for general
correction makes an otherwise pleas
ant meal most uncomfortable. Table
manners should be taught to children,
but example will do much, with an
occasional kindly correction.
Come to the table in bright and
happy mood, keep the conversation
In pleasant and instructive grooves
One of our great educators always
had an atlas, an encyclopedia. and a
dictionary in the dining room to be
consulted during the meal when it
was necessary to use reference books.
The children from that home went
out with broad and general educa-
tion that could never have been ac-
ing. In the tender years of child s
life Impressions may be made, facts
learned without conscious effort on
his part, that will remain in the mem
DRY as long as the mind lasts.
Wholesome food is one of the neces-
stiles of a well-balanced body, and
wholesome thought is just as vital to
a well-balanced mind. We believe
these things and nod approval when
they are spoken or written, but we
get nowhere unless we ourselves work
to accomplish results. We often hear
remarks made of certain families Of
children, they are so well-mannered,
they were just born that way" The
fact is, If those lives were investi.
gated, that the parents have spared
no pains or time, no comfort, to teach
and train them. This training is not
always seen, but 1t must be given to
get good results.

Capes and fichus and many dainty
collars find themselves important
among the accessories to be worn with
the spring suit or coat. They are also
designed for indoor wear on practical
one-piece suits. Now that open
throat lines are established for the
coming season much of the new neck
wear conforms to this mode. But
high collars have not abdicated and
they are well represented with cape
attachment, or the vestee, or without
either.
Crepe, chiffon, wolfe, organdie and net
are the fabrics that are used for ell
sorts of neckwear. Hemstitching, lace
and embroidery and very small tucks
make up their decoration, with the
tiniest of buttons serving often a
double purpose. In high collars they
provide the means of fastening, and
an ornament, and they are often used
merely for their decorative value.
A high and a low collar are por-
trayed in the picture above. At the

with two narrow tucks. A wide stand
