Tho part American Ingenuity play ed in winning tho war is disclosed in a history of the Naval Consulting Board of tho United States, mado pub-1 lie by Secretary Daniels today Tho volumo reveals achievements ' which, If projected a decado ugp, I iprobably vould have been ridiculed ' as "Visionary." Chief among theso I was a dovlco by which the launch-j ing of a torpedo could be heard on j shlpbonrd 4,000 yards away or fur-1 ther than a torpedo can bo effectively I launched from a submarine. This' invention was but ono of a sc iro or more contributed by Tlios. A. Edison, president of tho board. I Mi. Edison appears to hayo "been tho moving spirit of tho boarjl. Fpr,T j salting his laboratories -at the out; I break of tho war, ho practically bc I came a naval officer. Ho spent most ,of his time in tho m vy department of fices and took long deep sea cruises that Ito in'ght be in closer touch with : tho i.roblenis to .bo solved. Ills "Listening Device." I ecause of tho Gorman suliiiiaiino menace, fihip protection claimed tho most of tho altontlon of tho board To this problem Mr. Edison devoted bis traditional twenty-hour working days, and after overcoming many ob stacles t'nally perfected his listening dovlco. This contrivance was In tho form of an outriggor suspended from the bow sprit of a vessol and containing an Immense phonograph dinphragm. By means of compensators, the noise of the vessel's engines was obliterated,, th. i making ilt possible for tho device to work perfectly oven when tho ship was plowing at full speed through thy roughest seas. With this dovlco boats moving 1700 yards away could bo readily heard while tho vessol was going at full speed, A submarino boll five and one-half miles awny could also bo heard whtlo a big storm wns In pro gress and tho boat also proceeding at full speed. Having learned that tolephono sys tems on ships woro not very rollablo, Mr. Edison devised ono that was. Ho discarded,' microphones and substi tuted tho receiving phono for a trans mitter. Tho signals being weak ho amplified with an audion, which made tho signals so loud as to bo painful to tho oar. Mr. Edison also Invented an ex tension laddor which could bo at tached to tho top of the mast and give an observor a location 87 foot above tho top of tho mast. This dovlco In creased tho area of observation Other wartimo inventions by Mr. Edison wero a eartrldgo for taking soundings; n convoy light visible to all tho vossols In tho convoy, but Invlslblo from tho docks of a subma rino; an underwater searchlight cap ablo of throwing rays 200 feet; a pro jectile that would ontor tho water from an nnglo Instead of rlchochot ing; a stnbllzor for submorgod sub marines, and a tlmo fuao to cause shrapnol to burst only six foot above tho ground. Ho dovlsod a mask to protect ob servers on tho tops of masts from smokestack gas, a turblno for pro jectiles which onnblod tho Inttor to bo tl rod from smooth boro gang and still have rotation and accuracy; drew up plans for mining Zcebruggo Har bor, and developed a method by which communicating signals between war ships could bo sent by means of mirrors. ::o:: POTTEItY EXHIBIT On Tuesday, November tho 23rd, at tho Firemen's hall tho Art, Mutilc and Llteraturo Department of the 20th Century Club will have on exhibition a very flno collection of pottery, sent out by tho state chairman of art, Mrs. Moroy, of Hastings.
