-Alva II. Doan, clerk in the United
States Pension Office at Washington, has
invented a method Of displaying weather
signals in the country for the benefit of
farmers which may be adopted by the
Signal Service Bureau. 1t provides for a
system of signal flags to be known as
farmers signal flags which are to be dis
played from the side of United States
mail cars, which pass rapidly and contin-
uously over the country on a great net
work of tracks. The flags will signal in
formation as follows: White, meaning
clear weather; blue, fair weather; red,
doubtful weather; and black, stormy
weather or high winds. The signals can
be ordered up from Washington by tele>
graph, and the cost of the entire system,
it is said, will be insignificant.
