A WIDOW'S GRIEF,

London, May 31

An invention for securing safety of life at sea provides for a new wireless call termed the "safety signal." It is to be used at wireless stations which have to transmits; to vessels' urgent information concerning icebergs, derelicts, approaching storms, and other danger. It consists of "T.T.T." repeated at short intervals for ten times at full power.

Perhaps one of the saddest of the many sad scenes witnessed at Liverpool to-day in, connection with^the Empress of Ireland disaster concerned a woman in mourning who had gone to an insurance office to claim insurance due on a policy on the life of her late husband.

While waiting to transact her business she heard the commissionaire describing the collision to another man. She inquired the name of the ship, and on learning that one was-tM -Empress of Ireland she fainted on the spot. He son was a sailor on the big liner.
