Sound Waves Emitted by Energized

phones on Vessels.

New York.-The principle Of "fol-
low the green line" used successfully
by the management of New York's
subway system in handling crowds at
congested transfer points, has been
adapted in a measure to insure safety
to ships at sea around crowded har-
bors. Instead of visible green
line," however, a device has been per-
fected whereby vessels seeking their
way into harbor in thick weather can
follow with safety submerged and
energiZed wire.
In the outer reaches of New York
harbor, where deep water meets
shoals, there begins a marine passage
way known as Ambrose channel. This
channel leads up through the Mar
rows into the inner harbor and to the
docks, and in this channel the guiding
cable has been laid. Ships properly
equipped to take advantage Of its
guiding powers can follow it through
| any kind of weather with the same
| degree of assurance as can the pas
senger who seeks to make his way

| square.
Guides by Sound Waves.
The device consists Of cable 16
miles long laid in the center Of the
channel. 1t is energized with an al
ternating current from the shore.
Ships TO take advantage of it must
be equipped with audipnones or listen
ing devices attached to the hull. Ap-
preaching the channel, the sound
| waves emitted by the cable can be
heard for some distance, and the in
creasing or decreasing strength of the
sound enables the ship to be steered
until it is right over the source.
1t is then a simple matter to fol-
low it's course through the dredged
channel despite storm or fog, which
would make the marking buoys invis-
