able elevation at hand. At sea, where
the value Of long distance signalling is
greatest. il is impossible to secure
sufficient altitude with the means now
at hand.
Lieut.. Wise and Mr.. Eddy have for
some time past been experimenting
with the use of kites in signalling, and
they are both confident that they have
found a way of sending information for
greater distances than can be covered
by the methods now in use. Early in
the present year Lieut.. Wise, who was
then stationed at Governors island in
New York harbor, and who has had
considerable experience in scientific
kite flying, made some experiments in
signalling by the use of kites, and sent
up the first chemical lights ever dis
played from high attitudes by such
means. He finally arranged with Mr..
Eddy for an attempt at an exchange of
signals across a distance of nine miles,
and on June 10 the attempt was made
One string of kites was sent up by Mr.
Eddy from Bergen Point, n. j., and an
other by Lieut.. Wise from Governors
island.
The lightest kind of breeze was
blowing. and it was difficult 20 get the
lights far up into the air. The light
paper kites slowly mounted in the four
mile breeze, however, and carried the
lights about 500 feet above the surface
AT O:3O o'clock, Lieut.. Wise saw in the
southwest a bright red light showing
plainly against the clear evening sky.
II was quickly followed by two green
lights, and then a blue, to which he re-
piled in the same manner; and his dis
play was as plainly seen by Mr. Eddy
and his assistants. This'was the first
Site-lne signalling with chemical lights
and was in every way successful
The lights used were likethe ordinary
colored fire of Fourth of July celebra-
tons in appearance. Each light
seemed TO be in power trihe greater
than an are lamp, and burned for five
minutes. Prom his recent experiments
Mr.. Eddy is confident that he can send
ineligible signals by this means across
greater distances than has been done
by any other.
II Is az sea, however, that kite signals

fcopyr,eht. 1911


While some of those who are inter
ested in up-to-date war problems have
been trying to perfect submarine yes
sells, impenetrablea rmor, irresistible eN-
plosives and other formidable weapons
of offense and defense two men, one
civilian and the other an army officer,
have been experimenting with two
seemingly peaceful instruments which
ale likely to play an important partsin
any conflict of the future. These unim-
posing engines of war are the kite and
the camera, and the men who have dem
onstrated their practical utility in army
and navy work are William A. Eddy,
the kite-1ying expert of Bayonne, j.,
and Lieut.. Wise, U. S. A. One of the
most important problems of naval and
military maneuvers at present is that
of long distance signalling. 1t is es-
sential that two bodies of troops several
miles apart, or an army on shore and
squadron at sea, should be able to com
municate with each other by some more
practical means than has hitherto eX-
listed. At present the Photograph and
the flashlight are the instruments used
for this purpose. but the difficulty with
them is that in order to send messages
for more than few miles they must be
placed on high points, and it often hap
pens that there is no hill or other suit

Troops for AIaskn.

The establishment of a military post
on the Yukon, in the gold mining region
of Alaska, would doubtless have a good
moral effect, and the presence of the
troops that garrisoned it would doubt
less exert an influence favorable to the
maintenance of good order and the OBJ
seryance of the laws, but beyond this
nothing would be gained.
Under the provisions of the posse
comitatus act the troops could not be
used to aid in the enforcement OF law,
the preservation of order or the sup
preston of crime. This act requires
strict neutrality upon the part Of the
federal troops in all civil affairs. and
prohibits their employment in -quelling
riots or disorders, or in any other civil
matters unless especially directed to
act ny the president.
The law is a gccd one so far as il APP
plies TO the states. but it should be made
imperative in the territories. especially
those urorganized. Military Gazette.

As the audience was filing into the opera house last evening, a boy in the corridor was noticed pesring anxiously in with wistful eye. The expression on his countenance was such that it did not take an expert mind reader to read his thoughts. He wanted to see the performance, but did net have the price. 4 large hearted young gentleman was touch ed by the expression on the lads countanance, and asked him why be did not enter, when he replied, T have no money" The young gentle man gave him the price of a ticket, which was purchased and the look Of delight and satisfaction on the lads lace was worth twice the amount 1t is safe to say that the singing sounded more sweetly, and the chorus girls appeared more beautiful to the young gentleman as a result of making thls boy happy. There is nothing iD this world that will contribute more to individual happiness than an act which makes a fellow being happy. Selfish, sordid people are the most unhappy lot of mortals that exist.

 N. R. Grant, one of the oldest timers of this section of country. was in town today on his periodical visit for supplies. Mir. Grant hss his humble residence on one Of the most slightly sites in this vicinity, being on the northern slope of the Sierra Prieta range, just west of Quartz mountain and about four miles from town. He is engaged in chopping wood, and rarely visits town, and never except on business or to secure supplies. From the little cabin in which he lives a grand view is obtained of the Granite creek basin, in which Prescott aud Whipple are located, while Miller valley and all of the smaller valleys in the vicinity can be plainly seen. Further in the distance is seen Lonesome valley, the Black Hills, Mt Sitgrave, Bill Williams moun- tains and the San Francisco peaks. During the heavy sterms of last winter, Mir Graat awoke ono morn ing and found his cabin completely buried in snow, and he had to shovel his way out. For six weeks he never saw human being, as he was com pletely shut oH from the rest of the world.

Electric hSItters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need OF tonic and alter
alive is felt. prompt use OF this medi-
cine has often averted long and perhaps
atal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely IN counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial poi
son. Headache, indigestion, constipa-
ton, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

General Meade had been untiring in his

that his wrath knew no bounds He said
that the rumor had been circulated
throughout the press and would be believed
by many Of the people, and perhaps by the
authorities in Washington. MIR. Dana, the

with the army, was present at the inter

console Meade by assurances that the story
would not be credited and that they would
