a remarkable experiment in signaling
with electric lights was recently made by
the officers of two vessels Of the British
navy, the Orion and Espoir, of the port
Of Singapore
The EspOir had sailed from that port
for Kong Long, leaving the Orion in the
harbor Of Singapore. When the Espoir
was sixty miles distant the Orion sent
her a message by means of the electric
light But can light be seen sixty
miles at seal Certainly not, in it's direct
rays; but the Orion threw a brilliant
blaze OF light upon the clouds, and the
reflection Of this light was distinctly seen
ON board the Espoir.
More than this, the Orion, having
thrown upon the clouds irregular message
by means Of successful flashes, this mes
sage was read and understood on board
the Espoir. The question has been asked
whether this means OF communication
might rot be made of practical advan-

A wonderful Printing Machine.

The Americdn B2Otmaker describes n
machine which takes in paper at one end
and turns out completely bound books
at the other at the rate of 5000 copies an

inders, segmental in form and each
having diameter of six feet, and
weighing about three tons each. On one
OF these are the forms which do the
printing in quadruplc series, the other
two acting solely as Impression cylinders.
In combination with the cylinder carry.
ing the printing forms are ink fountains,
form and distributing rollers, while in

ders are novel appliances for handling
