time the steady current of public
opinion to ripple with uncertainty.
Several times in the past thirty
years, under the management of
ignorant or designing men, has the
public tranquility been threatened
by new and pretentious political
theories, as unsubstantial as the
moonshine. New reform hypocri-
sizes have repeatedly been fostered
by self.inspired patriots of great
lung power, and have briefly step
ped into temporary success. But
after a few days Of experimental
test, every one of these tollies has
passed away and been forgotten.
Good sense has always reasserted
itself i'll the public MUD, and the
dictates Of wisdom and experience
have ultimately prevailed, as they
always must.

and rapid growth of political

another to have safety appliances

of our large passenger steamships have,
on occasions, turned the water tight
compartments into places for steerage
passengers. Their greed ran away

valuable articles are not transparent

Considerable attention has recently

Considerable attention has recently
been directed toward perfecting .
system OF signals by q number of cleo
trio lamps fastened to the mast of a
war vessel, snd the Navy Department
recently appointed board which now
has the subject under consideration.
Many visitors to the Worlds Fair will
remember an exhibition of this system
during the gorgeous illuminations and
fireworks displays upon the lake
beneath in front of the manufactures
building. A row of lamps was fast
ened between two cords on the mast
Of the battleship Illinois, and when
the display was at its height these
lamps would flash out combinations
of red and white light, changing order,
forming and reforming. alternating
and transposing positions in the
twinkling of an eye. This mysterious
flashing was accomplished with key
board connecting with the wires sup
plying electricity to the lamps. The
signal officer manipulated this very
much after the fashion Of q stmpliied
typewriter, an instant's pressure caus-
ing the lamp to burn brightly and
fade away into darkness.
The idea of this system is to form
combinations of lamps which will serve
the Same purpose at night as the parti-
coiored pennants do in the daytime.
The system is far from complete,
however, and is open to several OBJ
jections. 1t is not unreasonable to
believe, however. that the time is not
far distant when brains and machinery
will overcome ocean distances and the
evil of 'ght s. in the past century

HOW WARSHIPS SIGNAL.
AN INGENIOUS DETAIL OF MODERN

The systems chiefly used by the
Navy Department are flags by day and
lights at night.
The flag system is very simple. Ten
flags stand for the numerals from one
to ten. BY grouping these flags, any
combination of numbers may be ob-
tanned, which shall be equivalent to
word, phrase or whole sentence, ac-
cording to code issued by the Navy
Department. For e1ample-2653 may
mean Running short of coal;' 399,
abled;" As, Wheel into line for
maneuvering," (" and 30 on nd infinltum.
The code books, one of winch is found
on every vessel. are thoroughly in
dexed, with each combination of
figures opposite the word, phrase or
sentence it stands for in signaling.
The combinations are secret and are
carefully guarded to prevent an
enemy, or even a curious Jack Tar
from reading the dispatches from
sci to vessel. The sets of nur"

To do this the first method to sug-

calls for another method, however, at

more saving of bunting. Each vessel

boro, commencing Monday, November
%, 1895, at 7:30 o'clock p. M, and con

vember 26th and 27oh.
The convention will be attended by
Prof. II. M. Hamill, Superintendent
of Normal Work, of the Illinois Sun
day.school Association and probably
by Evangelists W. P. Fife and Weston
R. Gales aud other prominent
workers.
The representation in the convention
will consist of members of the State
Executive Committee, all speakers
named in the programme of the CON
vention, and five delegates from each
county.
Greatly reduced round trip rates of
fare will be obtained from all railroads.
An outline programme and intorma-
ton concerning railroad facilities will
be published as soon as possible.
All counties which have not held
conventions this year, are earnestly
requested and urged to take immediate
action, hold conventions and elect dele
gates to the State Convention. A full
representation from every county in
the State is greatly desired.
We appeal to the ministers, super,
intendents and every lover of the
Sunday school cause throughout the
State, to bestir themselves and see that
county conventions r held In c0un,
ties where none ha* been held during
the year.
The local committee, on behalf Of the
people Of Goldsboro, extend a hearty
Invitation to the convention, and will
cordially welcome to their Christian
