laying Of telegraphic or telephone

great delay. But this invention would
enable ship to start verbal communi-
cation Immediately with the shore sim
ply by focusing the suns rays or US
ing the searchlight And it would be
absolutely impossible for any one to
tap the conversation. Nothing but the
destruction or the partial destruction
of the beam Of light would stop the

Endless possibilities are opened up
by this invention. Secret verbal COM
munication with aircraft is not i'm
possible, although it would require a
sl.ilful manipulation to keep the beam of
light fixed on the receiving mirror.
With slowly moving airship it would
be comparatively easy to talk to the
pilot, so long as the airship remained
in sight. There are thousand uses
to which 1t could be put in the army
and navy and mercantile marine, and it
would entirely displace the use of the

mailing in Morse code.

ject with the view to further submit

The Penalty of
Being Healthy

.nOES a healthy person more
~ readily fall a victim to an epi.
demlc disease than an unhealthy
one? Numerous recorded instances
which seem to point to this conclu-
sion are referred to by writer in
The London Lancet" in an article
entitled "The Disadvantage of Being
Healthy"
Touching on the observations
made by DR.. D. N. MacRae, Of
bioemfontein, during the recent
epidemic of influenza, he said they
went to show that
patents with previous history of
chronic catarrhal conditions Of the
lungs bore the disease we'll. This dis
advantage Of being healthy has re-
ceived certain amount of gupport
from other'scattered observations, sim
var TO those recorded in a letter thia
week by DR.. W. Fl. Dickinson. tuber-
cuiosis medical officer at Eewcastle-
upon-Iyne. In one London chest hos
pital the frat influenza wave loft
almost all the occupants of beds un-
acathed, and although during the au-
'onnAl wave number Of rapidly fatal
cases occurred they were mostly adj
naitted with pneumonia already de-
yeloped.

some day when the plans of

some Gay Wnen Cne plans OF
an English inventor reach
fruition. The following story is
taken from "The London Daily
News:
OR. A. o. Rankine, of University
College, London, has succeeded in har-
Messing the suns rays and using them
as a means of voice transmission. He
has completed a remarkable invention
which makes it possible to talk along
a beam of light, natural or artificial,
using it as substitute for the tele-
phone wire, with transmitter at one
end and a receiver at the other.
"The invention has been approved
by the Admiralty, and has the advan-
tage over wireless telegraphy or
telephony In rendering q conversation
absolutely secret Before the cessation
of hostilities the Admiralty were in
great need of q means of secret sig
Mailing. DR.. Rankine set to work In
his laboratory, and after long series
of experiments succeeded in perfecting
this invention, which would have been
actually in use had not hostilities
ceased.
"In one Of the laboratories at Uni
versity College yesterday DR.. Rankine
gave demonstration of this new
method of voice transmission to a
Daily News representative. Two
electrical instruments we're placed
some distance apart and beam Of
electric light was projected from one
to the other.

This new lifeboat has been given
three classifcations by the United
States Department Of Commerce,
as follows: Class Al, open lifeboat;
as standard lifeboat of the second
class, "a; and as a life raft.
Concluding:
1.-THE first of these classes include
lifeboats Of the highest type, which
are allowed to be swung under tbs
davits. A standard lifeboat of the Sec
ond class is one which may be carried
IN other parts of vessel, but not
under the davits. A raft, Of course,
may be slowed anywhere 1t is be-
lleved that this is the first lifeboae
ever to receive these three classical
tions.
The owners are contemplating what
they call revolving, tipping cradle, to
hold the boat on its side. In case of
disaster at sea this cradle could be re-
VOWED to the ships side and tipped so
that the boat would toboggan into the
water. saving valuable time in an emer-
gency. Having the life raft certificate.
the Gaskin lifeboat could be stored
fat, and SO stored would occupy only
3 feet 6 inches in width; or on her
side, occupying only feet inches. A
raft of the ordinary type that would
hold the same number of persons would
probably be 40 feet square.
1.-THE owners of the Gaskin boat AZ
sert that it practically revolutionizes
lifesaving, and will have unparalleled
success in making sea travel safe"

"The new lifeboat bears the name of
its inventor, Thomas Herbert Gaskin,
Californian, who has lived much of
his life, when on land, in England. A
practical seaman, he was twelve years
in developing his invention to the point
where it would really operate Since
then it has grown SO rapidly that he
himself says it's powers are beyond him
to explain.
LAS you first glance at the model of
the Gaskin reversible lifeboat, it looks
very like any other lifeboat, except
that it does not curve upward at the
bow and the stern. But suddenly tho
exhibitor turns it over, and there It
is again, precisely the same, level gun
wales, seats and all. This was surprise
No. l. Whichever way it lands when
it is lowered, it is complete lifeboat.
The inventor, in the words of British
expert, has succeeded in doing what
never was done before: he has pushed
the keel of boat up into it's middle.
Suppose, then, the boat has been
lowered from the listing side of a sink
ing ship. What if she lands edgewise
and falls over? Granted that she will
be boat either way up, will she not be
filled with water and hence useless ?
Me- says the exhibitor. That's what
these valves are for And he points
out eight non-return valves in the bot
tom-or middle-four opening one way
and four the other. The water shipped,
he assures you, will run out through
the valves as fast as it comes in"
Not only has this been done, the
writer assures US, but very careful
measures have been taken to
prove it.
Thus:
well, it has all been proved, is the
answer, and cinema man was there.
and you can see it on the film. And
so it H. This test and many others
were made last summer at City Island,
New York, before official government
inspectors, and they were seen the
other day by a representative of The
Christian Science Monitor at private
showing Of the film then made. There

she was filed with water, the valve
coverings were removed and in one
minute she was empty.
"But surely boat has no claim to

Again the pragmatic test. The film Is
the evidence. There you may see the
iifeboat, with sandbags and persons
totalling in weight 1855 pounds, the
equivalent Of seventy-five persons av-
eraging 165 pounds each, on one side,
listing. but not shipping water.
"As for resistance to attempts to
sink the lifeboat, the etiffest test Of
all was made, with the consent Of the
owners, after the craft had been off,
cially approved and accepted by the
United States government. The boat
was loaded with sandbags weighing
about five tons piled around her gum
wales, and was then filled with water.
The centre of gravity Of the sandbags
was quite high, but the boat merely
tilted slightly to one side, as shown
on the film, emptying herself of
enough water through the cracks be.
tween the sandbags to right herself to
an even keel, and then the water flowed
naturally through the valves An adj
miral of the United States navy sent .
representative to see this test.
"The lifeboat's buoyancy is duo
partly to the air tanks which line her
sides and the interdeck space, but even
more to the air cushion caused by
suction on the under side. This gives
such stability, too, that the boat rides
waves like a duck, swaying very
slightly from the horizontal position.
The boat cannot be turned over while
IN the water. her promoters declare.
except by the application from an OUT
side source of sixteen tons weight,
something which Is uncomfortable. She
has 267a inches of freeboard with I2.-
375 pounds weight aboard, compared
with 10 inches for most lifeboats of
the same size and capacity.
Being constructed without a sheer,
tie boats can be slowed atop one tn
other, and can be launched or thrown
from any angle, and whichever side
comes uppermost they are exactly the
same, each lifeboat. Even if it hap
pened that the lifeboat were shot out
from vessel under water, like tor
pedo, say her prom oters, she woula
rise to the surface and await passen-
gers. The boat is constructed to hold
sixty persons, but the lifelines with
which she is equipped enable her to
support as many as sixty more. Sup
plies are contained in COMPARTMENTS
fore and aft, which can be reached
from either side"

y" he invention Of Thomas
Herbert Gaskin, many ma
rine critics believe. has
solved the problem of nom
sinkable lifeboat. The boat has
withstood every test laid out for
it, with what results a correspondent
of 1.-THE Christian Science Monitor"
describes.
Beginning, he says:
"Uncounted thousands Of lives were
lost during the war by submarine
sinkings. Thousands more probably are
lost annually in shipwrecks. How
many Of these lives, may ono assume,
could be saved If there were available
on all ships reversible, self-bailing,
non-capsizable and non-sinkable life
boat? Many Of them, obviously, for
often lifeboat in process Of lowering
from a listing vessel turns over before
it reaches the water; or, having been
launched successfully, is filled and
sunk by huge waves.
"But, it is objected, it is q waste Of
time to speculate on what might be, in
some impossible conditions; we heard
of the unsuitable liner, but what be-
came Of the Titanic?
Nevertheless, the hope Of accom-
plishing what seems impossible does
not easily expire; and to-day there is
in existence a lifeboat for which it's
inventor and promoters claim all the
advantages enumerated.
