Perhaps an ext'eption should be made in favor of aln ear protector, the invention of a New York man, adapted for use by those who are on duty in the tur rets of battleships and those who are stationed at the coast fortifications. Ordinarily the blast of a big gun has an effect upon the drum of the ear; it is at. best unpleasant, and somitetimes it proves disastrous, as in the inlstanlees of men who have lost their hearing. The car protector is a little celluloid bulb so pierced that it may he placed inl the ear and pro It-t it from the noise and shock while not interferin.g with the hear ing. an advantage, of course, over the (1ru11de method of stuf1ling the ears with ttoi so that, nothing can be he:td aud whlen orders Can only be apprecia'ted by p:imtomiie.
