L Gotting The Pm&tst Made Night Sailings S The Sunday New York American publishes the following dispatch from Washington: The part American ingenuity play ed in winning the war is disclosed in a history of the Naval Consulting Board of tho United States made pub lic by Secretary Daniels today. The volume reveals achievements which if projected a decade ago prob ably would have been ridiculed as "visionary." Chief among these was rv device by which tho launching of u torpedo could bo heard on shipboard 4000 yards away or further than a torpedo "can be effectively launched from a submarine. This invention was but one of a score or more contributed by Thos. A. Edison, president of tho board. Mr. Edison appears to have been the moving spirit of tho board. Forsaking his laboratories at tho outbreak of the war ho practically became a naval officer. Ho spent most of his time in tho Navy department offices here and took long deep sea cruises that he might be in closer touch with the problems to bo solved., His Listening Device Because of the German submarine menace ship protection claimed the most attention of the board. To this problem Mr. Edison devoted his tra ditional twenty-hour working days and after overcoming many obstacles final ly perfected his listening device. This contrivance was in tho form of an outrigger suspended from the bow sprit of a vessel and containing an immense phonograph diaphragm. By means of compensator the noise of the vessel's engines was obliterated, thus making it possible for the device to work perfectly even when the ship was plowing nt full speed through the roughest seas. " With this device boats moving sev enteen hundred yaids away could bo readily heard while tho vessel was go ing full speed. A submarine bell five and one-half miles away could also be heard while a big storm was in progress and the boat also proceeding at full speed. "Mr. Edison followed this invention with a device for the quick turning of u vessel whenever the detector indi cated that a torpedo was coming in the vessel's direction. He did this by means of strong conical canvas bags. A heavy rope was attached to the mouth of tho bag and a light rope in a slip knot to the tapering end. The "Drag" for Quick Vcpring When cast into tho sea' tho moutn opened, filling the bag with water and thus acting as a drag. By pulling the lighter rope tho small end of tho bag was opened. This let the water out, instantly relieving the lesistance. Four of these bags cast from tho side of a GOOO-ton vessel laden w'ith 4000 tons of coal caused it to turn ninety degrees from its course in two min utes with an advance of only 200 feet. Night sailing of ships next attracted his attention. By working day and night over the records of submarine sinkings he discovered that not more than six per cent of the sinkings took place at night. Mr. Edison commenced to woik out his plans for tho ships to sail in and out of the danger zone at night; to forsake tho old standard lines of trav el as much as possible; to anchor through the day in comparatively shal low waters and harbors where sub marines could not approach them, steaming only at night to other porti of anchorage on their way to their destinations. Strategic Maps Mr. Edison prepard a new set of strategic maps on which he charted tho harbors in which there was safe anchorage for a long distance in shore in comparatively shallow but safe waters where submarines could not approach submerged. Other war time inventions by Mr. Edison wcic a cartridge for taking soundings; u convoy light visible to all vessels in the convoy but invisiblo from the decks of a submarine; an undor-wnter searchlight capable cf throwing rays 200 feet; a projectile that would enter the water from an angle instead of richochcting; a stab ilizer for submerged submarines; and a time fuse to cause shrapnel to burst only six feet above the ground. He dei.scd a mask to piotrct ob servers on the tops of ma ts fiom smokestack gas, a turbine head for projectiles which enabled tho latter to be fired fiom smooth boro guns and still have lotation and accuracy; drew up plans for mining Zecbrugge har bor, and developed a method by which communicating signals hclvoen war ships could bo sent by means of mir rors. Prevented Hinldngs Mr. Edison devoted n great deal of thought to various plans for prevent ing sinkings and he suggested a num bor of schemes to this end. One of theso was a proposition to furnish merchant ships with a type of spec ially designed threc'-inch shells filled with an oleum smoke producing com1 pound with -which to blind submarinos l ueWJMRmiij& mmmmior a iuisr p r IWfi 7 Jf5i ' M 'y e Our Budget Plan win brin,; the New Edison thisftriasf 'IpHIS is the time of the year when our Budget Plan is most helpful.

Tho problem of e!".::uishing fires in coal bunkers ho solved with a smull stream 6f silicate of toda played on a coal or wood fire. Tho moment the silicate strikes the incandescent body tho small quantity of water in the sil icate evaporates and the glowing body becomes coated with a glassy surface excluding the oxygen and extinguish ing tho fire. Direction Finder Tho study of a direction finder for hostile aii planes was undertakcnf to determine the direction of a plane be fore it was visible by determining the direction of the source of tho sound given off by its engines. This s. how it was done: Two horns at a fixed angle to one another conveyed the sound to oppos ite sides of the same diaphragm and swung tho horn system, both in hori zontal and vertical planes, until there was no movement of tho diaphragm, because the sounds conveyed by both horns were of equal valuo and there fore neutralized one another. It was found very difficult to get zero readings but with some training on the 'part of the observer the direct Ion could be determined with consider able accuracy. Having learned that telephones on ships were not very reliable Mr. Edi son devised one that was. He dis carded mloronhones and substituted tho rciving phone for a transmitter, The signals being weak he amplified with an audion which mndo the sig nals so loud as to bo painful to tho ear. Mr. Edison also invented an exten sion ladder which could be attached to tho top of tho mast and fflvo an observer a location eighty seven feet above tho top of the mast. Thto de vice increased tho area of obser nthn. MmniMiiai The Standard of Excellence We have always endeavored to give our patrons the very best merchandise that can be obtained on the markets.
