up, wisely saw that there was much Of value in
the system and that with skill and perseverance
il could be made = decided acquisition to the
resources of the army. Accordingly Col. Vim.
J. yolkrlar assistant adjutant general OF the
department OF Arizona. was assigned to the
duty of organizing Photograph corps in Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. Glasses in the new
study were formed and as all went at the work
with q hearty enthusiasm it was not long
before a trained corps OF men were
ready to step into the field and fash
messages intelligently and quickly from peak
to peak. The first concerted trial took place
last November and proved conclusively that
the new system was success. Many sugges-
tions and new ideas were received from the
trial. so that when on the 1st of last May the
party of operators took the field for the second
time everything progressed even more smoothly
and the success that attended their labors was
such as to call forth the highest praise from
Gen. Greedy, the chief signal officer. who was
out in Arizona for the purpose of witnessing
the results.

A MODERN INSTRUMENT.

A MODERN INsIRUMEST.
THE heliograph is quite modern instru-
ment, having been in Use but a very few years.
As we have it now it is great improvement
over the first ones and also over the ones now
used by other countries, for you must know its
Use has already become quite general. For in
stance. the French instrument is more COM
plicated and cumbersome. The mirror is nova
bic and by moving 1t the operator makes his
dots and dashes. BY constantly moving the
mirror il soon gets ont of adjustment and this
Causes all sorts of troublesome delays. With
our Photograph the mirror is stationary and the
movable screen or shutter does all the work
You can. of course, see the advantage.
The Photograph consists of mirror firmly
clamped to a bar on top of a tripod. but IL such
a manner that the mirror can be turned in any
direction desired. At the other end of this bar
Il perpendicular sighting rod that faces the
mirror. This sighting rod has a movable disk
that may be made to cover the point of the
rod. At the very center OF the mirror is a
small unsllvered spot This makes a shadow
in the center of the reflected light. To sight
the mirror or aim II at any spot one simply
looks through this unsilvered spot and raises
or lowers the sighting rod until its point
covers the distant station Then he puts back
the disk IN place. So long as the shadow falls
upon this disk just long will the fash be
visible at the distant station. To compensate
for the apparent motion of the sun
the operator only has to turn the slow
motion screws that govern the mirror In order
to keep the observer at the other end con-
stan;ly IN line. BY working the screen in front
of the mirror up and down the fash is made to
appear and disappear, and by using the United
States signal and telegraph code messages can
be transmitted almost as rapidly and quickly
a. by wire. One mirror Is used when the sun
is in front of the sender or in such position
that the light strikes the mirror at an angle Of
12O or less with a right line drawn from the
sending to the receiving station IL the dis
tance IS very great to the distant station two
mirrors should be used when this angle is over

WHERE THE MATERIALS COME FROM.
"Where do the materials for fish flies come
from?"
From all over the world. There is no part
OF the habitable earth that is not laid under
contribution for materials. Not only all the
birds OF bright plumage, but all sorts of beasts
as well, supply the maker of fish flies with his
working stock. The dog the wharf rat, the
MONKEY, the mohair sheep, the deer the bear,
the rabbit, the pig and the squirrel are few
OF the animals whose coats are employed for
the purpose. You see, there is nothing like
real fur for the bodies of the artificial insect s
each hair in the water takes shine of its own
and lends brightness to the lure. Pelts of
these and other kinds of beasts are obtained
by the fly manufacturer from the taxider-
mists. who are able in this way to
dispose OF profitably defective skins and waste
scraps. The feathers nearly all come from
Paris, where they are bought from the MILL
ners, who procure them from everywhere.
IN MAKING TYPICAL FLY
the operator, with the requisite scraps before
her-women usually do this work-frst takes
bare hook and fastens a gut smell to it with
wrappingS of fine silk Then around the hook
at the proper point is twisted some yellow floss
silk to represent the body of the insect and
this Ii made additionally secure with three or
four microscopic bands of silver tinsel Next,
at the front Of the body, is wrapped on a scrap
OF ROSTERS hackle. the fine hair-like feathers

Redditch, Eng, and the finest kind have been

The Limerick and 'Shaughnessy' hooks, hich
are the most famous of ALL we're both named

that the gut of which smells for hooks are made
is really from sleeps intestines, but, as a mat
ter Of fact, it is nothing more nor less than the
immature silk worm of commerce, which is
torn from its chrysalis and stretched out to the
length of IL inches or more. 1t is in Spain that
gut for hooks Is made in this way. 1t is very
nearly as strong as catgut and has tho great
advantage of being much more transparent and
therefore less easily seen by the fish in water"

A VISUAL TELEGRAPHIC TOY.
London Scientists Fooled by an ALLEGED
Startling Invention.

London Special to the New York World
The English scientific world is very much
exercised over an invention purporting to be
remarkable instrument solving the problem
Of visual telegraphy. 1t is the Joint inven-
ton OF Prof. Hughes, FRS, and W. H,
Preece, FRS On the occasion of the post
Office jubilee reception at South Kensington
Museum Wednesday night the instrument was
exhibited before number Of scientists and
newspaper men, all OF whom are most cordial
in its praises. The inventors said. they had
discovered a machine by which the sender of a
message from distant station could, with the
assistance Of the telephone, not only speak
with the receiver at the other end OF the wire
but appear in reflection before him. And in
effect this is exactly what happened last even
ing.
The facts, however, are startling. Electricity
has nothing to do with the matter. The picture
Of the telephoning was not reproduced by
means of a telegraph wire; but a series Of
mirrors had been cunningly arranged on the
principle of the old optical illusion business,
which reproduces the visage of person stand
ing behind q brick wall for instance. By means
OF similar mirrors the sender of last night ap-
peared before the receiver. and newspaper
men and scientists were fooled. That such an
imposition should have been played upon the
scientific world and the British public by the au-
thorities Of the South Kensington Museum is u
disgrace to British science, and when the de-
ception is discovered there will probably DO a
row.
The inventors knowing that Edison and
other American electricians have for many
years been expanding all their energies and
much money in the direction Of solving the
problem of visual telegraphy. had announced
that they had solven it. The London journals
and the scientists eagerly swallowed the bait
When the truth is revealed about the inven-
ton Hughes and Preece will doubtless be Sc
verely handled, especially as increased interest
il now taken in Edison's treatment Of the sub
ject Last evening the machine was exhibited
to the Duke and Duchess Of Edinburgh, the
mystery being well maintained. To show how
completely the audience was taken in all the
unscientifc and most of the scientific departed
declaring that the electro-phonoscops was the
most marvellous discovery Of the age.

The Virtue In Salads,

n. Henri dc Vilmerin, president of the Bo-
tanical Society Of France, recently lectured be-
fore the Royal Horticultural Society on the
subject OF salads He spoke of the nutritivs
value Of salads due to the potash salts, which,
though present In vegetables generally, are
eliminated in the process of cooking. These
are some of the plants he enumerated a. being
used in France for salads; Lettuce, corn salad,
common chicory, barbe de capucin, ourled and
Batavian endives, dandelion in it, several forms
of gresn, watercresses, purslane in small guam
titles, blanchsd satisfy tops, Brussels chicory,
the roots Of celeriac, hampton and radish, the
bulbs OF stschys, the stalks Of celery, the dow
ers Of nasturtium and yucca, the fruit of capsi-
cum and tomato, and, in the south Of France,
rocket, pieridium and Spanish onions. Va
rious herbs are added 10 q French salad to gar
nish end favor it-chervil, chives, shslIot and
borage flowers. In addition, many boiled
vegetables are dressed With vinegar and oil
The lecturer exhibited specimens Of dandelion,

recent trial two stations 125 miles apart COM
municated with each other freely and

The value of such system in times OF war
or peace can readily be appreciated. and the
fact that it is appreciated clearly seen in the
interest that is taken by officers in the regular
army and in the national guard.
AN EXPLANATION OF THE HELIoGRAPH.
But just what Is the Photograph and what is
photography? Sun writing. of course, but the
way it is done is decidedly interesting. In
conversation with STAR reporter a day or
two ago Lieut.. r. E. Thompson of the signal
service, the officer in charge OF the division OF
military signaling said that the idea of giving
out information from the hill tops might a.
most be said to be old as the hills them
selves.
signal fires by night and columns of smoke
in the day time are used by aboriginal tribes
the world over" said Lieut.. Thompson. land
our modern system is derived directly from
theirs, with notifications and improvements,
OF course. The Indians. you know. have great
fondness for mirrors. These they use to assist
them while painting and decorating them
selves, but it was also found that they utilized
them to throw reflections from one point to
another and by this means to communicate
with one another to a certain extent. You can
see now the evolution of the Photograph. Use
the methods of your enemy if you find them
good and improve upon them if you can.
Fight fire with fire one might almost say.
The Photograph is simply a mirror mounted
in such way that the person operating it can
throw the reflection just where he wants it. A
movable screen placed in front of the mirror
enables him to break the line Of light at will.

dashes you need for your alphabet and you can
