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

placed , va n sound will enter only ono

'.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

Didn't Caro for Much Dreti.
Mr. Uptown is the husband of a very
fashionable nnd drossy wife, and not
long ngo he was talking with a strnn
ger about women's clothes at a swell
reception up In Harlem.
"Plenty of handsome women here to
night," ventured tlio stranger.
"Yes," said Mr. Uptown blandly.
"Married?" queried the stranger.
"Yes; my wife is her to-night."
"I'm married, too, but my wlfo sel
dom goes out. She doesn't caro much
for dress. Does yours?"
"Well," replied Uptown, with some
hesitation, "I dn't really know wheth
er Bho cares much for dress, but I'm
pretty sure she doesn't caro for much
dress; but you can Judge for yourself.
There she comes now."
Mrs. Uptown, who is stylish to the
backbone, swept by, and tho stranger
changed the conversation. Texas Sittings.
