Submarine Ears

Among the inventions used to defeat the
submarines was a special instrument fasten-
ed to ship that enabled the ships officers
to hear submarines approach at a distance
until New York newspaper, about the
middle of May, published on its first page
certain details. At that time there was no
censorship of the press, do not know
whether this publication reached Germany.
l do not know how Germany learned of the
invention, but the fact remains that Ger
many learned about it, and perfected it to
such an extent that her latest submarines are
now equipped with so-called submarine
ears, instruments which enable submarines
to hear a steamer approach at distance of
five miles.
The German invention is said to be so
accurate that a submarine can submerge
and shoot a torpedo aimed by sound and
not by sight. This is given as the expla-
nation for the sinking of one American
transport, the torpedoing of another, and
the sinking of other ships, in European wa
tiers, without the submarines showing itself.
Thus the creation of the submarine ears
undoubtedly gave the Germans encourage
ment in their submarine campaign, but it
came late in the year, and before it is in
extensive use the Allies, or the United
States, will probably have an invention that
defeats its purpose.
With this new invention by the Germans
the submarine war remains a menace to the
Allies almost as great as it was in February
of last year.-Saturday Evening Post.

Skill of the Blind

Blind people-those who have been born
blind-are, as is well known, exceedingly
clever with their fingers, but it is not often
that one hears of matchmaker who was
born blind, and yet there have been instances
of the kind.
A famous blind matchmaker lived at
Holbeach, notes an exchange. His name
was Rippin. and although completely blind,
he could take to pieces and put together
again watches of the most delicate construc-
ton with the greatest ease and in quicker
time than most watchmakers who have the
advantage of good eyesight.
On one occasion some of the tiny wheels
and screws used in his trade were stolen
from him, but the thief was captured with
the property on his person, and Rippon
identified it by his delicate sense of touch.
Another watch and clockmaker brought up
his blind son to his trade, and he proved so
skilful that on more than one occasion he
detected faults in timepieces which other
trademen had failed to discover.-Ea.
