the help of bis comrades, be began to
pull, and after an hour's laborious
work the end of the great chain-once
the cable of a Turkish vessel was
reached.
r'mm the beach tbe chain was load

sides and floor had been covered with
cloth to deaden the sound. This task
accomplished, three men got in witb

tance. Not a sound did tbe men make
as link by link the massive chain was
paid out over the stern Uito the still
water till they reached the vessel.
There was an excited gleam In Has

rades, be gradually lowered himself
lnio tbe dark water, guiding himself
by passing bis fiugcrs over the battle
ship's plates. A slight grating of the
chain against the bull was all that bis
anxious companions in the boat heard,
though now and then a reassuring pull
was felt on the Hue that Hassan held,
directing them bow to pay out tbe
chain. Hours' rather than minutes
seemed to have gone by ere tbe young
officer came to tbe surface. So ex

boat.
"It Is round tbe propeller." he gasp

can move it Back you go."
Then link by link the tedious work
was renewed until the boat returned
to Its starting point where the other
end of the chain was secured. The
risky task was done, and tbe Hellenic
battleship was securely moored to an
Immovable rock by a double thickness
of ;ible.
The early rays of dawn revealed a
sitr'.i; which astonished the Greek com
mander. A whole regiment of Turks
oa the march toward the strait

lery, the last of which disappeared bc

viip .- guns could be brought to bear
on I hem. The commander gave orders
for the guns to be ruu out and decks
cleared for action, while the anchor
was weighed, bis Intention being to
prevent the Turks from fortifying the
strait before they bad become too
strong. "Full speed ahead.'" went the
order to the er.gine room, and. pro
pelled by her mighty screw, the bat
tleship advance:, only to lurch back
ward as if dragged by some unseen
orce. Work as the engines would,
the vessel seemed to be In au enchant
ed circle, beyond which it was Impos
sible to go.
It was not until the sun's rays had
penetrated the deep blue water along
side that the secret was revealed and
the massive chain was discovered pass
ing round the ship's propeller and the
adjacent rock.
Before It could be removed, how
ever, the strait had been sufficiently
fortilied by the Turks and a power

SPEED RECORDING CAMERA.
Instrument For Dttccting Violation of
Speed Laws.
A very Ingenious Instrument f r re- !
cording the speed and lueuse number i
of an automobile has been devised by
two Instructors ef the Massachusetts j
Institute of Technology. The Kislru- '
I ent. which Is but little larger than j
a pocket kxlak. cousist of a double ;
camera with a watch movement, j
which controls the operation of the !
camera slimier.
When au automobile pusses at a j
Sleed that seems excessive the CHr-
ator trains the Instrument upon It auU j
releases the mechanism y pressing a ,
button. Immediately the shutter of
the upper camera Is spruiij. taking a I
photograph of the receding atitomo-

bile, and a moment later tlie'other
shutter Is sprang, taking a second Im
age of tbe automobile. whereuon the
timing mechanism comes to a stop.
The plate Is developed by the regular
process, aud the resulting negative
shows an linage of the automobile
uear the operator with bis license
number distiuct aud a second view of
tbe machine taken at the end of the
time Interval. In the center of the
print lire the photographs of the bauds
of the stop natch caught when tbe I
6rst and second exposures were made. !
Since the automobile has traversed I
certain space lu the time Interval I
the second Image is smaller than the
first by au amount which can easily I
be measured with au ordinary scale j
divided lu hundredths of an inch, and, j
knowing that the standard wheel tread !
is fifty-six lucbe. tbe distan -e of the '
two objects from the camera, aud ;
hence the spae the automobile has
covered In the time interval, Is easily
found by the following law: The dis
tance of any object from the lens Is ns
many times greater than the focal dls- j
tance of the camera as the length of
ny line of the real object Is greater ,
than lu length In the photograph
This Is a simple proportkiu in which
three of the terms are known name- '
ly. the size of the object, the size of
the Image of the object on the plate '
and the distance of the image from ,
tbe tens. The fourth term of the pro- i
ortion, the distance of the object from '
the lens, follows by simple division.
However, the operator is saved all ;
Irksome computation by a table nt- I
tached to the Instrument. !

Paige has recently studied these walls.
nd bis conclusion Is that they are nat- '
ral formations, consisting of sand- '
stone dikes, which under the Influence i
of the weather and earth movements :
have been cracked and jointed in such
way as to afford In many eases a '
striking resemblance to artllicinl walls. -
