The old method consisted of lowering a thermometer into the water when the iceberg zone was being approached, the distance of the icebergs being judged accord- ing to the temperature of the water in the vicinity. Since the increase in the speed of ‘big liners, however, this method has been found to be quite inadequate. 'being neither safe, quick. nor accurate. Once! 'the most reliable inventions for detecting icebergs at sea" seems ‘10 that of Dr. Coplans, of the Univer- sity 'of Leeds, who invented an appar- ratus which detects the presence of ~icebergs by 'giving ‘readings of the saline contents of the water. The nearer. an iceberg is,to the ship the less is the amount of salt held in solution in the water. The Canadian Government assisted Dr. Coplans in "his investigations. Another invention of which high hopes are entertained is what is known as the microthermometer, an instru- ment enabling very much closer read- ings of the. temperature of the water to be_obtained than is possible with an ordinary thermometer. It is also self-recbrding. Submarine signalling, too, for the prevention of disasters in foggy weather, is also'being closely stu‘died §by experts, for it is recognized that there is much room for, improvement in the signalling apparatus used at the present time on board ship. The modern system of submarine signalling consisted of bells sunk in at least 20 feet of water, operated hr electricity or pneumatic or hydrauli pressure. It is said that a sub uarin‘ bell can ’be heard at a greater- dis- tance than any fog~horn, siren, or any other generally used air signal or de- vice, and it is recorded that one of these bells was heard at a distance of from ten to fifteen miles. The receiving apparatus is. very simple, consisting of two cast-iron tanks, which are placed below the water-line on either side of the ship's bows and in contact with the shell of the ship. In each tank is the. micro. phone, which is connected by a." efcc tric telephone system with the bridge. There the navigating oflicer has suit- able receivers and switches which enable him to listen on either side of the ship. If he alters the course of the ship on hearing the ball so that the intensity of the sound is equal on both sides of the ship then the bell lies straight in front, and ac .cording to the intensity of the various fil’llllds he is able to avoid danger, .Q-.. “9W "l0 DONOR li'dilglll) 0N H00? Cleanliness and Antiseptic Treatment as Necessary for a Horse as for a Man Nature often repairs wounds on the horse's hoof without help from man. All man can do is to assist nature; but often he hinders the re parative process, and sometimes his interference is positively harmful. This is so when he soaks an injured foot in an old, dirty tub and forgets to change the water each time it is used. The foul soaking tub is 8 veritable abomination. It should be accounted a relic of barbarous days not to be used by modern man. This advice refers especially to the treatment of a nail-puncture case. It may, however, be admissible in some cases to treat sores of the coronet, or. suppurating come, by soaking in a tubful of antiseptic solution. The average poultice also is an abomination, and positive damage in many a case. This certainly is so as regards the cow-dung poultice. Germs teem and multiply in it, and these germs induce pus or possibly may cause tetanus (lockjaw). Any hot, moist poultice in which an antiseptic is not mixed will harbor and grow noxious germs. If a poultic‘e' of any sort is used, it should be made up ' with a solution of a good disinfectant or germ-killer. Modern treatment seldom employs a poultice in the nail-prick case. When a nail has been found and re« moved, the horseman often is con- tented to pour some turpentine on the wound and allow the opening to close. Germs may be retained, and in the absence cf‘air they may cause tetanus; for the tetanus germ can live and grow only in the absence of oxygen. The right way to handle the case is to remove the shoe, cleanse the hoof tnoroughly with soap and hot water, pare away all soiled horn of the sole and rinse it off with a 1-500 solution of corrosive sublimate (bichlorld of mercury) or five per cent. solution of coal tar disinfectant, lysol or car- bolic acid. Then out down upon the puncture with a sharp, sterilized hoot-knife, re~ moving enough born to expose the round and allow blood, serum or pus to escape. When this has been done "he. wound should be well swabbed rith the 1-500 solution of corrosive r bliss: and at once covered with 1 xnixt: re of one pn=t of icdoiorm afid sexes parts of bcric acid, fresh ab- sorbent cc ton and a clean bandage, .'.o be coveer in turn with a square, of clean guztny sacking, held in place: by a strap around the pastern. ., if there is objec‘.ion to the strong. odor of the iodoform mixture. substi-” {2:1, 029 part each of calomel and schnitrate of bismuth and six narts » inseamâ€"wee it as it , vente‘d " ' SKA-"$2 ire-151.5 semis; Cf boric acid as a my dressng pow- (.er.

ROLLâ€"“S‘RMRLE'EASE Samples Take up Little Room and dc- not Become Mussed An ingenious case for dress goods and other fabric samples has been de- signed. It rolls up closely and makes a compact bundle, yet the samples are not wrinkled or mussed in the process.

A number of clips form sam- ple attaching elements, and ‘these are SAMPLES EASILY REMO VED. removably fastened to the straps.
