10 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16; 189T—12 AN INVENTOR’S SKILL, SELECTION OF SAN PEDRO Opinion of the Attorney General in the Matter. A Scientific Apparatus for Sounding Depths of the Ocean. John P. Buckley, 461 West 147th street, New York, but who is well known in Wash- ington and claims this city as his adonted home, has lately invented a scientific ap- paratus known as the electric sounder. By means of this Mr. Buckley is confideat that the depth of water can be ascertained by satiing captains for at least 2,000 feet ahead of their vessels. He is assured that the present tedicus method of making soundings will be relegated to the past and a vessel shall no longer have to feei her way into port when the air is fogzy. ‘The sounding with the new invention is done by means of a bell circuit. This passes through a carrier, thence to a non- conducting cylinder filled with cuicksilver. The circuit is completed by the cylinder striking bottom, the bell on board the ves- sel is rung and warning given that the vi sel is in too shallow water. The apparatus consists of an air gun, about 3,000 feet of wire, or, rather, a cable ccnsisting of two wires, a holiow shell which will float a cylinder of quicksilver and an electric bat- tery. Air is forced into the air gun by turning a wheel. The cylinder with the wire ai- tachment fs loaded into the gun. This wire is on a reel, and as much is wound off =s the force of the projectile will carry. The projectile is sent through the air a dis- tance of between 2,00) and 5,000 feet. The number of turns the operator gives the wheel when the air gun is loaded deter- mines this. The cylinder strikes the water and sinks. The length of this wire, which intervenes between the cylinder and the hollow shell or carrier represents the depth of water in which it will be safe for the vessel to venture. z Nearly all ocean steamers draw thirty fe When the wires enter the cylinder they are separated. They run into the ¢; Believes That the Project Reported by the Board Comes Within the Previstons of the Law.

Local Notes of General and Especial Interest—Cases in the Police Court. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell Telephone, No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., September 16, 1897. There was a lively fight near the corner of King and St. Asaph streets about o'clock last night, in which Charles Bar- pour, William Cookson and Wm. BE. Cook- son were the principals. From what could Le learned of the affair it appears that the Cookscns were in a nearby store making some purchases, when Barbour passed by and saw them. Barbour, it is said, entered the store and engaged in conversation with the younger Cookson. They went out on the sidewalk, when there was a lively passage of words, which ended in Barbour striking Cookson, jr, in the face. The elder Cookson, going to his son's rescue,re- ceived a-stinging blow betwen the eyes. ‘They were separated by Driver Taylor of the Columbia Fire Company, and later Officer Ferguson placed all three under arrest, and they gave collateral for their appearance this morning. When the case was investigated in the police court this morning it was clearly shown that Bar- bour was the aggressor and caused the whole disturbance. He was fined $5, and the two Cooksons were dismissed. Bemocratic Frimary. The democratic primary to select a can- instead of thirty feet. as suggested m my | of the line.

When a man has over- worked himself, and neglected his health, until he finally realizes that he is a sick man, he too frequently goes to some obscure physician who has had very little experience or practice; the result is a wrong diagnosis and the wrong treatment. A man in this condition, if he continues to work and takes the wrong medicine, is really making himself a saddle-horse for death. Under these conditions, what a man really needs is the advice and treatment of a phy- sician of wide experience and practice, Dr. K. V.

The Institution of which he is the head is one of the great- est in the world. H>= has practiced in one spot right in Buffalo for thirty years, and his neighbors honored him by making him their representative in Congress.
