I Is no greater terror
! among the many
met with at yen
than a tog. The
helplessness of our
harbor boats and
the clamor ot the
bells and whlBtles
during a heavy fog
in New York har-
bor give one some
idea of this nightmare of the ocean;
but when a fog closes down upon a %es-
sel at ea the most reckless captain pro
ceeds cautiously and anxiously, sa>s
New York Herald.
The probability ot collisions am
wrecks due to fogs has been !,cteP'eJ
as a sort of unavoidable evil, whicli
must become greater as the number anil
speed of vessels increase. But the in-
ventive genius of man could not lei
such a condition of affairs continue
without attempting to do away with it
and there has been perfected lately .1
simple instrument, called the eophone,
by which the direction from which .1
sound proceeds can be determined will'
absolute accuracy in fog or darkness.
A simple description of the Instru-
ment is that it consists of two bell
mouthed sound receivers, separated )}
a central diaphragm. The sound re-
ceivers are connected to the two earn
and, when pointed directly at a sour.'
of sound, the noise is the same in each
ear. When turned away the sound Is
heard in only one ear.
On shipboard the sound catching anil
dividing part of the instrument extend*
above the top of the chart house. Tin
tubes are brought within the chail
house, and the instrument may lit
turned from below to point in any de
sired direction. The eophone has now
been perfected, there being many points
for which numerous experiments, last-
ing over several years, have been re-
quired, in order to determine the best
form, especially with the sounding
tubes and ear pieces. Various refine-
ments, such as microphones and devices
adding to the complication, but not im-
proving the use, have been eliminate
To Illustrate the character of the
trials which have been macie with the
eophone, one was placed on the light-
house tender Lilac, and in a dense fop
a whistling buoy was picked up ata
distance of a milo and its direction In-
dicated correctly, although every ettort
was made to confuse the observer by
change of course. Ordinarily there II
great difficulty in picking up a whist
ling buoy in a fog.
Another test, showing the merits il
the eophone in a striking w„y, TO
made by blindfolding the observer
then ehusing another vessel by sounli
of its whistle, the vessel pursued doubl-
ing and twisting in every possible -way.
No difficulty whatever was found Intel
lowing the vessel under such circum-
stances. Spar buoys can be picked up
from the echo of the boat'b whistle,
A vessel running closo to land would
get the echo from her own whistle in
rase there were hills or tall houses. 0«
dark nights the ripple of oars or till
slight noise of a torpedo boat would be
accurately located by the eoplioue,
that It is as important from a militil!
point of view as it Is necessary in ord!
nary navigation. The eophone is prob-
ably one of the greatest inventions ot
the day, as it is destined to become is
much a part of a ship's equipment as tin
the compass The larger vessels will
have two, and just as now there 111
distinctive lights on shore there ivlll
be distinctive whistles, so that in ah
not only can vessels avoid danger,
they can determine there locations ami
go safely Into harbors. Ferryboats
bo enabled to go straight across to their
slips by knowing their particular bell
or signal at either end. The echo from
an iceberg is plainly apparent.

The other day a stylishly-dressed
woman stepped from a coach in front of
a big dry goods store in New York and,
proceeding to the fur department, se^
leeted a seal wrap worth |300. In pay-
mf.nt she tendered a check for $1,000,
which the saleswoman took to the of-
fice. A messenger was dispatched to
the bank an l he was told that the check
wbb good. Meantime the woman pre-
tended to lie indignant, demanded a
return of the eck, would accept no
apologies and drove away. Presently
she returned and said she had allowed
her temper to overcome her and or-
dered the cloak wrapped up. She was
given $700 in change and disappeared.
A second visit to the hank disclosed tho
fact that the woman had withdrawn the
$1,000 she hail on deposit there and that
the check was worthless.
