NAVIGATION B i liABiO
While radio has been employed as an aid to naviga
tion of both ships and aircraft for several years, by
means of radio beacons of various types, the use of this
mysterious force is destined to play an ever increasing
part in directing these craft safely along their courses.
R. H. Marriott, consulting engineer of the Federal
Radio Commission, recently described a newly developed
method whereby what be described as an electric track
may be laid for both ships and aircraft to follow.
This “track” consists of a cable carrying a high fre
quency current, which induces a similar frequency in a
coil carried by steamer or airplane. When the craft is on
its course, which is directly over the cable, the helmsman
hears a buzzing signal, which dies out if he gets off the
“track.”
These cables may be laid down in the middle of a har
bor channel for the guidance of ships, or strung on poles
like a telegraph line from city to city for the direction of
airplanes and dirigibles. Dangers from rain, snow or fog,
the terrors of navigation bv sea or air, would thus be
practically eliminated. As a large percentage of accidents
to both ships and airplanes are due to these dangers, the
value of the device described by Mr. Marriott may be
readily appreciated.
William Cullen Bryant Kemp was considered an
unpromising student when he entered Columbia at the
age of 18. Relatives, so the story goes, offered to give
him $2,500 for each year he remained in school. Tie never
left until his death a few weeks ago, after beinn a stu
dent continuously for 00 veers, accumulating practically
all the degrees in the category.
Sercetary of Labor Davis says 86 per cent of Amer
icans are poor. He means they are poor in what they owe
and rich in what they possess.
Our idea of insecurity is being president of Mexico
or governor of Oklahoma.
