Electricity Conveyed by Cable From the Shore Operates Mechanism— Sound Travels Five or Ten Miles Through Water. Washington—A novel method to inform ship captains of the approach of their vessels to the danger zone has been perfected in connection with the use of the system of submarine bell signals in places where the bell } cannot be placed on a light ship or lighthouse. The electric bell is hung from a tripod set on the bottom of the sea at the edge of the shoal at the re- quired point and this bell is struck by a mechanism operated by a cur- rent of electricity conveyed throvgh a cable from the signal station on shore. Such a station at Point Aller- ton, Mass., and another at the en- trance to H: ‘ax harbor are operated 2» than two miles long. The bell S any code that is esired and the sound travels through the water, so that vessels from five to ten miles away hear it, and get direc- tions accurately in a fog or at night sg} When equipped with a receiving appa- ratus. The lighthouse board has made ar- rangements to place these submarine signals on all light ships not already 80 equipped, including the five vessels approaching ccmpletion at the yards of the New Yo Shipbuilding com- pany and the four to be built at the Fore River r at Quincy, Mass.

JUDGE LINDSEY AIDS LAD. “Wanted to Get Ahead"—Gets Place | Paying $2,000 a Year. Denver.—“I want to get ahead, so I came to work for you.” Two years ago Judge Ben. B. Lind- sey was interrupted at his work by a boyish voice. Looki up, he saw a you red hair and mirthful blue eyes. He as wearing knee pants and for a mo- ment the judge wondered what the small fellow could do. The vermilion crown appealed to him So Jay Bacon was kept in the juve nile court and given a chance to ad- vance. First he was made a sort of messeager boy and “handy Andy” for everyone. He was given the dignified title of clerk, but the young man is authority frequently did many services beneath the dignity of his title He had -studied stenography at home with his stepfather, D. H. Col- burn, who is one of the probation officers, and his first attempt at tak- | ing dictation from Judge Lindsey con- vinced the latter that his clerk could hold his own Then Judge Lind: was appointed Judge of the new juvenile court. Un- der the statute creating the court he Was to name a stenographer at a sal- ary of $2,000 a year, almost as much | as stenographers to district judges re | ceive. The next promotion had come Jay Bacon, for without considering any other applicant Judge Lindsey appointed him to the place. Brick Lost with Body in It.

Baltimore, Md—While examining the contents of the ordnance store house at Fort McHenry, Lieut. J. Ie Holcombe, of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth coast artillery discov- ered several boxes of old hand gren- ades which are supposed to be more than 100 years old. The missiles are of the earliest vaske used by the United States gov- ernment, and were probably placed at the historic old fort when it was first erected in 1812. Owing to the way in which they were packed the grenades had only the slightest trace of rust on them. The discovery of the weapons re- calls a bit of the ancient history of the country. In explaining their use Lieut. Holcombe said that the grenades were handled only by the grenadiers of the ship, who, walking out upon the yard- arms of the old-fashioned fighting ves- sels, threw them into the ranks of the enemy. An explosion followed which created havoc. They weigh about four pounds and are shay ait the hion of the bombs us anarchists, and are iron and loaded with gunpowder.

North Adams, Mass.—To outwit the immigration author s and join his eight-year-old daughter here, a Syrian who arrived in this city traveled over 33,666 miles, expended a small for- tune in transportation, and consumed six months’ time. The child was brought by her father to the city last winter. The girl found a home, but the father was deported, making the distance traveled when he again arrived at Beirut, Syria, 13,500 miles. He reembarked within a few | days for Rio Janeiro, Brazil, 1,425" miles away. His intention was to enter the states at a gulf port, not daring to trust himself again to the immigration officials of the larger eastern cities. While in Brazil he reached the con- clusion that it would be better had he started originally for Canada. At the first opportunity he embarked on a vessel for Colon, whence he crossed = i the isthmus of Panama. lt required several weeks’ waiting before he final- ly embarked on a sailing vessel for Victoria, B. C. He arrived early in May at British Columbia, he had add- ed 8,400 miles to his itinerary. In June he journeyed from Victoria to Montreal, 3,291 miles. He then de- termined upon a final cast and headed for the United States. he had no trouble in ¢ from Canada and made 335 miles from Montreal to Boston. The night he ar- rived in that city he covered the final 100 odd miles still separating him ana his litule girl TO ILLUMINATE NIAGARA FALLS. ng the line Mist and Water Will Flash All Colors of Rainbow at Night.
