1 WAR BY HIS
CLEVER INVEiONS
The Sunday New York American
publishes the following dispatch from
ashington
The part American ingenuity play

a history of the Naval Consulting
Hoard of the I nited States, made pub
lie by Secretary PanieJs recently.
The volume reveals achievements
which in a projected decade ago, prob

a device by which the launching ot a
torpedo could be heard on shipboard
4.W0 yards away or further than
torepdo ran be effectively launched
from a submarine.
This invention was but one of
score or more contributed by Thomas
A. Edison, president of the board.
Mr. Edison appears to have boon
the moving spirit of the board. For
sjvking his laboratories at the out
break of the war, he practically be
came a naval officer. He spout most
ot his time in the Navy Department
offices here, and took long deep sea
cruises that he might be In closer
touch with the problems to be solved
Because of the German submarine
menace, ship protection claimed most
of the attention of the board. To this
problem Mr. Edison devoted his tradl
tional twenty-four working days and
after overcoming many obstacles
finally perfected hU listening device.
This contrivance was lu the form of
an outrigger suspended from the bow
sprit of a vessel and containing an
immense phonograph diaphram. By
means of compensators, the noise of
the vessel's engines were obliterated,
thus making it possible for the devise
to work perfectly even when the ship
was plowing at full speed through
the roughest seas.
With this device boats moving 1.700
yards away could be readily heard
while the vessel was going full spocd
A submarine bell five and onehalf
miles away could also be heard while
a big storm was In progress and the
boat also proceeding at full speed-
Mr. Edison followed this invention
with a devise for the quick turning
or a vessel whenever the detector in
dlcated that a torepdo was coming in
the vessel's direction. He did this by
means of strong conical canvas bags.
A heavy rope was attached to the
mouth of the bag, and a light rope, in
a slip knot, to the tapering end.
When cast into the sea the mouth
opened, filling the bag with water ami
thus acting as a drag. By pulling the

Night sailing'of ships next attracted
his attention. By working day and

sinkings he discovered that not moro

place at night
-Mr. Edison commenced to work out
his plans for the ships to sail In and
out of the danger zone at night; to
torsake the old standard lines of
travel as much as possible; to anchor
through the day in comparatively

the Dodge school, which has recently
added an etra room, owing to. the
crowded condition heretofore Ad

The teachers now In charge of the
school are Miss Rosin Ten Eyck and
Miss Mable Keller. Miss Ten Eycki

There are two districts In the coun-
iy wnere teacners are required, one
of the schools being at Elk l'ralrie
the homestead country, about
fifteen miles beyond Molalla. There
s a school In the district, but this Is
located about six miles from a settle

have been held during the summer
months by the homesteaders in an ef
fort to establish a school district and
to have a school. Their efforts have
accomplished much, for a school will
soon be In session, thus giving the
hildren In that section the advant
ages they have longed for. Those
havin children, where it has been
found imposlble to send them to the
adjoining district, owing to the dis

home. They have taken advantage
of the circulating library and book
have been forwarded from Salem.
On November H a school election
ill take place tn the district, and as
the homesteaders are taking much in

doubt but that many will come for
miles to attend-
