Electric Light on Captive Balloons.

Electric Light on Captive balloons
The trials recently made in England Of
electrical signalizing from captive bal
looms show that an important service
may be rendered by this means, both in
peace and war. OF course, IL does not re-
Quire the use of the electric light to signal
from captive balloons, for such service
has been had in recent wars by the aid Of
flags by day and colored lights by night.
But balloons for this service must be
large and cumbersome for carriage in an
army train, and have sufficient buoyancy
to sustain the weight of q man in mid air
with safety, whereas by the use Of cleo
tricity the same service can be performed
by small inexpensive balloon, and one
that can be readily transported. The in
candescent electric light is peculiarly
adapted for this work 1t can soon be
made as powerful as the arc light, and
be fed by a wire, say of silicious bronze,
so fine as to be lost from sight in the line
holding the balloon, even though the line
be an ordinary cod-line; and the wire is so
light that a single man can carry several
miles OF it.
Ii requires, as we know, only two char
acters or visible movements to send the
longest message. In telegraphy the dot
and the dash or the short and long sound
and their combinations are used. - the
army wig-wag system. far mo red to
right and left during the day, and white
light moved over stationary red one at
night, are readily made to answer the
same purpose. From this it will be seen
that flash light, that is to say, one which
can be made to glow or disappear at
pleasure, may be made to furnish the re-
auired number of movements. Thus the
electric light, which may be controlled as
rapidly as telegraphic sounder makes
and breaks the circuit, can be used as the
medium of transmitting information

A LEGEND.


A stranger once halted in great surprise
And gazing upon funny device.
He shook his head,
And musngly said:
Il would like to know who that man is;
Why does he let his top boots rest
Upon the other fellows breast,
As he shouts his Sic Semper Tyrannis 81
He accOsted man that passed the spot:
Good sir" he said, ''can you tell me what
Is the sense of that phrase
Upon which gaze,
And what the pictures whole plan is ?"
''Bedad !" said the man. Il hardly knows
Unless It's take your foot off my clothes,
In Dutch It's Sic Semper Tyrannis.
But one thing know that may sound queer.
As you seem to be a stranger here:
If your clothes are tore.
Buy at J. NJ. Knote's store;
They're cheap, or my name amt McGinnis.
Through the whole of Ohio goes his renown
They've downed every other place In town.
Their motto's Sic Semper Tyrannis."

some Bad Bows.

Yesterday evening gentleman passing
along Russell street suddenly came in con-
tact with barbed wire that was stretched
across the street. The wire struck him
across the nose and cut it rather badly. The
wire had been stretched by crowd of boys,
who then hid behind a building standing
near to see who was the first person caught.
Such conduct is brutal, to say the least, and
an effort should be made to bring the per-
petrators to justice. Citizen.

IN EN6LAND.-Then newspapers of Great
Britain are filled with accounts of the Won
derful recovery OF young man who had
been so i'll with asthma and rheumatism
that he was not able to lie down in bed for
nine long years. This cure was due to the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N Y. They
say that this. like nearly all others, was the
result of indigestion, and that the Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegers Syrup) effected
this wonderful cure by restoring the digest
