Telephone Transmitters Give Alarm of Breaking Dam. 4 Disaster May Be Averted by Spoken Word That Travels Faster Than the Flood. Terrible disasters have been caused by ' the Arresistible swirl of rushing floods, an Wwhich unsuspecting persons were catght without warning. In one Instance; years ago, a gay party on a four-hor lIyho Was” entlusiastical- 1y exploring the wonders and beauties of Turkey. Creek canon, near Golden, Colg. Guthering rainclouds failed to ¢ast a shadow upon thelr high spirits, and no serious thought was giveu to danger from the rapidly approaching storm, because the tourists were not famillar "with the characteristics of ; the locul témpests, nor with the topog- raphy of the surrounding country. The storm suddenly burst with great fury upon the unprepared pleasure seekers ‘'and the deluge of water caused them quickly to abandon the | tallyho and hunt for shelter, Closely | huddled againsfthe towering sides of | the canon, they “soon realized, with | uanxiety, that they had not reckoned ' with the forces of nature. The ter-! rific rush of water down the canon | sides swept them from their feet, and cown to the bed of the canon, where a | torrent of water now raged. Despite their struggles, many of the party lost | their lives, and those surviving were seriously injured. | Aunother instance was the great flood at Johnstown, Pa,, and the more | recent was the disastrous flood at ' Pucblo, Colo., where the toll of lives, | and property damage, reached enor- mous proportions, As, a protection against such ter-| rible events as these, a system of | huge telephone transmitters and am- | plifiers has been produced which will | throw the buman voice a distance of | four mlles. Extensive tests have been | made with this apparatus, which have | proved the practicability and suc of the endeavor. These tests w conducted In the Catskill mountains by a specially trained group of op-' erators. A tower, thirty feet high, was erected to hold the gigantic amplifiers | and the immense projectors wl»ich‘ measured fifteen feet in length and | four feet in height. To determine just how far the hu- g man voice could he heard with these aids, was accomplished in rather a weird manner, because the time sc- lected was at night. Four men took up 2 previously agreed-upon stations, at! distances of one, two, three, and four | miles from the tower. h drew, near for the experimenfs, the four men applied matchesito apeotatly | prepared torches, which gave large flaring: flames, a4 | Meunwhile at the tower werg 'gath, ered a party of men chosen to ohserve the tests, and who interested); watched the tiny fllekering torche the distance. When the “% ed, the oper- | ator 'at the tower took hig plice he- fore the transmitter of the apparatus, § and in a natural tone of voice, ordered the far-off men to wave their torches, Breathlessly the watchers at the tower peered through the inky blac ness at the flickering points of fi and fhe neurest torch was seen to d clamations of satisfaction came from the watchers, which rose to n shout.| n5 the second, then the third, and | i men again, in reply to their ready | i signals, and bade them wait for fur- ther instraetions.—H.
