they have a distinction of

objects were hoisted on these and the
point at which they stopped signified
a prearranged phrase. This is a modi-
fication of the method of Polybius.
Next Robert Hooke, an English
scientist, proposed to make huge letters
of some Opaque substance, and to sus-
pend them in space. But neither this
nor the preceding methods We're ever
adopted in practice"
In 1890, M. Remy goes on to say. Am
onions, Frenchman, introduced the
telescope as a means of observing tale-
graphic signals, which made it possible
to Increase the distance between sta
tons. He proposed to use for his sig
nails a large black screen, in which a
cross was cut, but he failed in getting
the government aid needed to carry out
his plan. Later, Marcel of Aries, built
a machine, which. 1t was claimed, could
signal as fast as one could write; out
he, too, failed to get government aid,
and broke his invention. In 1882, eau
they devised a system of speaking
tubes by which he expected to trans
nit speech hundreds of miles, but ex-
pense prevented it's adoption. Soon af-
ter this, however, the invention of the
semaphore furnished a successful sys-
tenn of visual telegraphy and not long
afterward the electric telegraph gave to
the world a means of communication,
to which distance sets no limiits.--
