New Ship Signals for Use IN Fog.

Most ship collisions in fog are due
to the difficulty in detecting the exact
direction that the whistle and bell
signals come from. A veteran sea cap
tain has devised a new method to
overcome this.
He uses four signal horns of differ.
ent tones, two sirens, steam whistle
and a steam gong, all operated by foot
levers. Each of these corresponds tC
one Of the cardinal points Of the com
pass, and is sounded in a fog only
when the ship Is headed in that direc'
ton.

Ny earliest recollection is bowls, and blood-cudllg

told made by Wildcats fighting amongst themselves for
the spoils.

Probably the history country the wild

Minind Methods.

In the construction Of the Teton
dam Of the Yakima project in Wash
ington the United States reclamation
service will have added another note
worthy achievement TO its already
long list. The dam itself will be one
of the largest earth dams in the Unit
ed States, having visible height or
go feet and a length along the crest
of 900 feet, with a top width OF TWEEN
ty-five feet.
A heavy concrete corewall will eX-
tend through the full length Of the dam
and from it's crest into the bedrock.
The excavation for and placing of the
corewall Is one of the features Of the
work. The following method is being
used: Three shafts are being sunk
from the surface Of the ground into
the bedrock. Drifts six feet high ana
five feet wide are then driven in botn
directions along the line Of the core
wall. After the lower drive is COM
pleted. a second drift Is driven imme-
diately above II. The material from
this second drift is broken down into
mine cars placed in the lower drift,
and from there is taken to the shaft
and hoisted to the surface. After the
two drifts are completed the lower
drift is filed with concrete from cars
running in the second drift. a third
drift Immediately above the second
drift Is then driven, and the process
is repeated until the surface IS
reached.

MADONNA WITH SILVER HALO
Remarkable Picture Among Other
Fine Specimens In Historic Greek
Church at Sitka, Alaska.

Way up In Sitka, Alaska, that de-
lightful old place of Russian memo
ries where the thermometer seldom
goes below zero In winter. there Is an
old Greek church which is famous all
along the Pacific coast. Dating from
the days OF Baranoff, II has stood
through many storms and vicissitudes,
and was for years the chief see In
the Russian-Greek church OF western
America.
There arc several unique paintings
n this church which were brought
over from Russia In the early years,
and everyone who is fortunate enough
to go TO Alaska comes away from this
dingy, faded, green-colored church with
enthusiasm over the examples OF fine
art that decorate the chancel and al
tar. Chief among these paintings Is
one of the so-called Sitka Madonna.
The peculiar feature about these
paintings, which is said TO be en-
ployed nowhere else In the world, is
the use of beaten silver for halos and
accessories The metal Is laid on such
manner that it is almost impossible
to separate it from the rest OF the
painting. and 1t produces rich effect
that pigments cannot attain. The pic
ture Of the Madonna and Child has
vouminous drapery Of this beaten sill
YER, and the fame of its beauty is well
understood along the Pacific coast.
The Ascension, over the bronze
doors to the holy Of holy screen, Is
n gem of Byzantine art, and the jew
eled helmets and halos In the paintings
of the saints show the wonderful ver-
satility of the old-time Russian artists.
Massive candlesticks, jeweled crowns,
and robes Of cloth of gold are in this
historic church-a reminder OF histor-
ic Alaska and the time when stern
Baranoff and his iron-hearted followers
held full sway.

Remarkable Carving.

San Fronciscans are paying homage
to one Of the most remarkable wooden
statues ever received, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t is the work
of Hananuma Masakichi, greatest Jap
anese artist in wood or ivory, who
posed for himself by the aid Of adj
Unstable mirrors and carved his own
life-sized image from wood. The hair
on the figure is the artists own. He
used the clippings from his head and
beard, boring tiny holes for the hairs
and setting them In place one by one.
The figure is In every particular, even
the most minute, an exact counter
part of the artist. The carving re-
quired three years, even to so adrolt
and mastery a workman as Masakichi.
