INVENTOR MAKES WATER TALK
contrivance Known as "katie" Is
Hailed as a Most Valuable
Aid to Navigators.

'Katie." one of the most wonderful
inventions exhibited at the recent
shipping engineering exhibition In
London, is likely to prove the most
valuable aid to sea captains and navi-
gators yet discovered. katie" Is the
name given to the invention of IN en-.
gineer, by which he makes water talk.
1t is an automatic float, with a SEN
sitive depth-finding mechanism con-
nected telephOnically, and is placed on
the surface Of the water. Another del
icate ins. .rument rests on the bottom.
with wire connection. When an en-.
gineer wants. to know the, depth of
water at particular spot he rings up
Katie" on the phone and she tells
him the exact depth. .....
She speaks In soft, jerky buzzes in
the manner of the Morse code, and
when she gets out OF. her depth she
shutters. II. the current is too strong
she becomes speechless. "Katie" will
also ware a captain how much water
has got into the hold or the engine
room after a collision.
The floating ships safe Is another
wonderful invention. It automatically
casts itself adrift from a sinking ship,
and will send up a distress signal
every hour for twelve hours. A sound
signal is also given, and it will burn
a light at night for three months.
