the: Atlantic and Pacific coasts may be
kept In almost constant mmunication

of special stations where none now exist;
that could be used for signal purposes.
The board consists of Com nder Schonl-

Lieutenant Anderson of the New York
State militia. and has already advanced
far in it's work.
J.. All The stations along the seaboarl will
be connected by wire, so that every m owe
ment OF the fleet, when in sight. can be
observed and reported. Ships can send
signals from a distance OF probably eight
or ten miles off shore. which, being inter-

warded to Washin ton. The answers can
be returned to the signal station anu then
transmitted to the ships.
The system has worked with great sue

as soon as the general plan is perfected.
The State militia will have charge of the
stations and operate them in time of
emergencies. In time of peace the life
