Signaling at Night.

A system Of night-signaling with
dags held up by kites and lighted by q
suspended search-light was tried some
time ago at Bayonne. New Jersey. Says
Electricity:
The search-light was of about one
hundred candle power. and was sus-
pended within few feet of the flags.
The light was sent up at a quarter to
Z o'clock, hung two feet below the
fiags, each Of which was two feet
square. Both light and flags were sup.
ported by one nine foot and one seven.
foot kite. The flags were fastened ia
the kite cable by perpendicular STATS.
To light the flags the search-light was
rigidly braced on the kite cable in such
q position that it pointed straight sky.
ward. As the kites carried the cable
upward, the glare Of the fiery pencil
passed beneath the flying kites and up
ward into space. The rapid f1utterina
Of the flags caused the effect of q
stream Of blue, white and red fire, ex-
tending ten or twelve feet beyond the
search-light reflector.
This invention will probably not only
be used in signaling in time Of war.
but will produce effects of great beauty
In night carnivals.

"A Natfonal Pawn.hop.

Two recognized national institutions
In Mexico are the national pawnshops
and the thieves market. In the for

surplus over the amount he already

not so much philanthropy. and he who
has lost something of value and would
purchase 1t back Is apt to pay dearly
for 1t. The pawnshop keeps short

tractors who leave tools or lanterns on
the streets come to the market every
morning to buy their property back,
for the Mexican thief is clever crook,
with persistency that might be directed
to better use, and locks and bolts do
not deter him any more than the police
man on every square that is under the
rule Of the Mexican city authorities.
