During the early part OF the recent war
with Spain militia corps. while practic
Ing signal communication on the Long
Island and neighboring coasts were much
hampered IN their night operations by the
lack OF electric Illuminating supply at the
points selected for the stations. Fer
while they made the best they could OF
moist or ordinary ships lanterns but
nnally they set TO work AT the installation
OF an experimental pant for the trial
OF acetylene lanterns. The electric system
OF signaling, as used in tire UnIsed States
navy, consists OF a series OF eight lam
terms in pairs, each pair being so arranged
as to show red or white light at the will
OF the signal operator. The lanterns form
vertical hoist, the circuits To the red
and white lamp being cab.ed 10 key
board, BY means OF which either lamp OF
each pair may be 1t, and the possible COM
binations Of the series of lights form the
signals. For instance. 70 make the letter
b. the top red. the second and third white.
the fourth red lamps would be lit: while
for the letter S. the top white. the second
red ana the third white lamp would be dis
played. etc By this system very rapid
signaling Is possible. the different comhi-
nations being readily made by one move
ment at the keyboard. The adaptation
of acetylene was found to answer beyond
expectations. No photometric cornpars-
cons were made between the oil and the
gas. but while the oil lanterns were visible
with the naked eye only half or three
quarters OF a mile away. the acetylene lam
terms could be seen at distance Of eight
miles. or with a glass they could be read
ten miles off. The experts who have been
called upon TO report on this innovation
say that the use of acetylene for sigma
ing furnishes a system as flexible as that
operated by electricity even more prompt
In its action, as in the electrical system
there Is perceptible lag. due to the heat
ing and cooling Of the flaments when the
circuits are made and broken. With the
acetylene lamps. on the other hand, the
closing OF the valve circuit brings the
lamp instantly % its full candle power.
and on its release completely and fmmedi-
ately extinguishes the source Of iilumna-
ton.
