A project, as bold as it is magnifi- cent, has; just been invented for pro- viding a series of stations across the Atlantic which will enable steamers at sea. to be communicated with just as a railway train is on dry land. At certain intervals of about a. hun- dred miles, Mr. Reuben H. Plass. for; that is the inventor's name. proposes to place what he calls “central sta- tions." t They are two-storied structures, with quarters in which a certain number of men will live just as they do on the lightships round the coast. Each of these stations will be supplied with stores capable of lasting a long time. and is to be equipped with a lifeâ€"boat ‘manned by three sailors, which is to ’be available for use Whenever neces- asary. ‘ 1 LL__- stations two steam or naphtha launches to patrol the interval from one sta- tion to the other, keeping a lookout for ships in distress and for wrecks, as well as icebergs. ‘All information gathered on these points will be con- veyed along Uhe line by means of a atus, with which it is proposed to connect Uhe chain of ves- sels. Between each central station there will be a series of small floating ’liglhrthouses at intervals of a mile. These are to be provided with fog- ! horns. whose working will be by means "of compressed air stored by an AUTOMATIC APBARATUS as the edifice rocks. which they furnish at quire attention only times a. yea-L. with ladders reaching to the sea. so‘ that: should an individual be unfortuâ€" nate enougxh through shipwreck. or ac- cident, to get into table} water he would be able to climb into Uhe lighthouse, which will contain food and the means of preparing it, as Well as supplies The opening of the. door of any one of Lhese ligthouses 1n the chain W111 .automatically convey a Inesisage to this I ‘ | . ‘ “ k1] nonfrn] aummaucuuy UUuVYJ up my ....FO_ effect down the hue to the central station on each side, and .will also indi- cate the lighthouse whlch has thus become Uhe shelter of some one need- ing aesislanoe. _ LLA nrnwm CI‘IhQil‘DQ- ShO‘lld 1118 aSSLSLuuUU.
