THE SIGNAL SERVICE.


Report of Gen. A. w. Greedy, Chief of the
signal Service. on the Extent of the
Telegraph Lines Now Operated by tho
Government for the Purposes OF the
Bureau-Military Balloon.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Gen. A. w.
Greeley chief signal officer of the
army. in his report says that the gov
ernment telegraph lines now operated
by the signal corps aggregate about 900
miles in length, no less than twenty
eight military posts and stations being
connected with the great system OF the
country over permanent lines con-
structed and operated by the signal
corps, and that there is now hardly a
military post in the United States
which has not a telegraph station either
within it's limit or at some convenient
point speedy of access.
Special attention has been given by
the signal corps to the establishment
of flying or field telegraph lines with
good results. A field telegraph line
was constructed and operated in the
interest of the international boundary
commission for the purpose of deter
mining by telegraph the longitude ol
the monument marking the interna
tional boundary between the Uuited
States and Mexico. This line, abou
thirty-five miles in length. was com
pleted in twenty-five hours, and was
operated successfully and dismantlec
and recovered in three days work, av
eraging eight hours each day.
Military balloons, Gen. Greely thinks
will play an important part in future
wars. A balloon outfit is being organ
lied with each flying telegraph train
and he expects that the signal corp
will be able to exhibit at the Worlds
fair a captive balloon with an aeria
telephone cable and connecting tele
graph line.
