off the message flashed to him by the dis
tant instrument to another man who
takes it down in regular form on tele-
graph blank. When the message is closed
the signature follows and If there is an
answer Forthcoming 1t is written out and
handed to the heliograph man, who at
once begins sending the queer flashes to
the opposite party.
The flag code is vcrya complete and
every move of the red flag to the right or
left, slip or down orynswung lin circles
around the head of the operator conveys
a message to the man watching with
field glasses far away.
An interesting and hitherto unpublished
fact is that the heliograph forced the ter
rible Apache war chief, Geronimo to sur
render. When he corraled in some hun
dreds of square miles Of arizona desert a
signal service station was placed at every
watering place. The flashes gave warn
ing whenever the thirsty remnant of the
once powerful band approached any of
the springs. Finding that he would die OF
thirst unless he made n hopeless attack
upon the troops the chief at last consent
ed to parley and to finally surrender. He
is today prisoner in Fort Mcpherson
Ga.
The idea of motion telegraphy now
practced in the armies of the United
States. and several of the European ma
tions, originated with Gen. Albert j. My
er. distinguished in late years, as a me-
teorologist. and as the organizer of the
United States, and international storm
service. TO his indomitable will, and per-
sistent energy. may be ascribed the timely
introduction of field signals into our mil
itary service.
The idea of utilizing the method. first
came to Gen. Myer when a young sur
geon. in the army. and one day he saw
some Comanche Indians on a neighboring

gagged by distance. and Is set by exper-
iment until the operator knows that a
certain point upon it will give him the
range OF the station to which he desires
to send his message The getting of the
glass in line with the sight sends the
flash to the other station. The commune
cation in dots and dashes Is itself carried
on by shutter with which the operator
cuts off the flashes at will on the same
principle by which the Indians send
smoke signals. The blanket Of the aborig-

The shutters are worked by two little
rings, arranged like the handle Of scis-
sors, into which the thumb and one finger
of the operator fits. When the hand is
closed the shutters fly back. exposing the
four-inch square mirror to the sunlight

graph system Of the signal corps. In
stead of ! rapidly moving shutter the
red man used a blanket. which was held
up to obscure the fire or smoke at long
and short intervals. transmitting to
friends far away signals according to
an Indian code. From that crude sys-
TEN of communication by evolution
came the7perfect Telegraph system of
today, whereby flashes of sunlight are
sent scores of miles by the Morse sys-
tenn of telegraphy. conveying messages
from one body of troops to another. or
from headquarters to a detachment in
the field.
In addition to the Telegraph the sig
nal corps of the State of Maine is fully
equipped with flags for day use, torch
es for night service. telegraph instru
ments and reels of wire and every
known device for transmitting mes
sages by sight or sound. Every man in
the service. of course,is an expert teleg
rapher, as one must be to read sun
flashes twenty miles away. and the
corps has by hard work and attention
to the details of the system achieved
an enviable place - among national
guardsmen. The utility of the signal
service has never been questioned
seriously by officers who have given
the subject attention. but since the
small beginning such progress has been
made and such efficiency shown that
every officer in the service is enthusiasts

during the war was done almost entire

Funding County Indebtedness.

Upon the authority of prominent popn-
lists THE HERALD is justified in stating
that the incoming board of county com
missioners will submit to the voters
proposition to bond the county and fund
the present floating Indebtedness. which
includes the outstanding warrants,
amounting in all to about 10000. Al
though as rule it gives populist the
spasms to even think of bond still it
has been figured ont that with the reduc-
ton of interest and the discount on the
present prices, which the county is COM
PEELED to become obligated for supplies,
that saving of about thousand dollars
per month can be made. The limit of
Indebtedness has already been reached,
but there will be no increase through
funding and II strong prospect that the
saving will permit of the creation of
sinking fund to take up the bonded
obligations as they mature.
