The Gato City, which arrived here on Monday from Savnnnah, hi tho first tcamer going out of this port to be equipped with an aurophone, tho now device for enabling tho lookout to do iormlno tho direction of sounds at sen. The aurophone wn tried on tho wny up, but llttlo could bo told about Its utility owing to Its being placed in a poor position. It consists of n brafcs box, which fits over tho mast and which has projecting from each end a broad-mouthed funnel. From this box, closo to tho funnels, two tubes llko or dinary cpcnklng tubes lend down tho must and through tho main deck to tho deck below. Insldo of the box there Is a complex orrnngtoroeu of dia phragm? and sounding boards so placed , va n sound will enter only ono o? tho lubes when it la passing through '.ho funnel on tho opposlto sldo of the oox. On the lower deck is an arrange ment like an engine-room Indicator, by which tho box above may bo turned around tho mnst, and directly uudor the indicator is a tcll-talo compass. The man bejow plnces tho tubes to his ears, where thoy aro held in place by a cap. Unless tho funnels nbove aro pointing directly toward tho sound vhlch ho wishes to locate ho will hear It only faintly and In ono ear, bocauEO one of tho funnels being turned from the sound tho tube opposlto does not operate. Ho then turns tho indicator 'Ji tho direction from which tho Bound appears to como, and when the funnel Is pointing directly nt the sound it passes through tho tunnel and out of tfro other, putting both tubes in opera tion, and tho open tor hears the sound distinctly and in both ears at one He then glances at the Indicator and tho point on the tell-tale at which it rests gives tho exact bearing of the ound.
