dashes. By the Morse alphabet the
letter A is represented by dot and a
dash, the b by dash and three dots.
and the letter C by two dots. a space
and dot. The other letters are rep
resented in a similar way.
In the army system waving the flag
to the right means dot: to the left, q
dash. and dropping L directly In front
OF the operator means space. II.
therefore. the operator waves the flag
once to the right and once to the left
he makes the letter A. II he waves it
once to the left and three times to
the right he makes the letter b, and
IL he waves 1t twice to the right, once
down in front and then once again to
the right. he makes the letter C.
This reads like slow work, but 1t Is
anything but slow, for the operators
are so skilful and quick in the use OF
the flag that they can give and receive
the letters almost as fast as n tele-
graph operator can give and receive
the clicks of his instrument.
The use of n strong field glass en-
ahles the receiving operator to read
the signals at n great distance. When

Wigwagging in the navy is done on
the same general principle, but the
numerals /, 2, 3 are used instead of
dots and dashes. The letter A, by this
system. is made by the numerals 2, 2:
the letter B by 2. 2. 1. q the letter G
by /, 2, !; the letter ID by 2, 2, 2 and
SO on.
Waving the flag to the right means
1, to the left means 2, and down in
front means 3. Two waves to the
left, thorfore. make the letter A; two
waves to the left, ono to the right and
one again to the left make the letter
b; one wave to the right, one to the
left and one again to the right make
c.; three waves to the left make d.
and so on.
The navy also uses hashlight and
the steam whistle in combination with
the numerals. A short flash or a short
blast of the whistle means l. two
short flashes or two short blasts mean
2, and n long flash or long blast
means 3.
Provision is thus made for signal
ling by day. whether the air is clear

have reached the farther end OF xHe

the one next him, Has she feathegL!
And when this question has Travelled

from laughing, which is usually diff
cult. Any one who laughs or makes
a mistake in repeating the questions

Talking With EIaqs.

The signal corps plays a very i'm
portant part in modern warfare-so
important that army and navy officers
say they could not possibly do without
it, in spite of the fact that great cam
paigns were carried on and great bat
ties were fought before 1t was ever
dreamed of.
There are several systems of signal
ling in use by the army and navy, the
simplest of which is that commonly
called "wigwagging," term that was
invented for it. Nearly everyone
knows, perhaps, that the signalling is
done by means of small flags, but a
brief description of how the flags are
handled to convey message may not
be amiss.
The system is an adaptation of the

The explanation of this peculiar ac-

means that it behaves precisely as IL
Its surface were an elastic skin, like
sheet India rubber. But the amount
OF this tension varies in different liq-
uids. 1t is greater for water than
for alcohol, or mixture or alcohol

THE OIL OF LIFE.

For causes subjective, objective and
both, one may be lacking in the har-
mony of nature.
When a person discovers he has a
negative manner that hinders his
social life how is he to revise himself?
The magnetic or positive nature
boils over with attractive agreeable
ness without being conscious of any
thing but 10y or enthusiasm.
The physical intellect is uncon-
sciously popular while the mental in
tellect is an entertainer at distance.
People collect around the person
who is overfiowing with goodwill and
natural happiness.
The oil of life is an abundance of life
itself. AS reserve forces diminish
there is a dryness of manner which
produces negativeness.
1t is piling up of reserve force that
produces positiveness and popularity.
A lack of inherited energy hinders. but
a knowledge of self and the applica-
ton of useful truths compensate.
By continued study OIL the things
that depress and the things that exalt.
one is able to see the way to positive
ness by accumulated strength.

squeal, but 1t fiutters and moves un-
easily and seems to be deeply agitated.
II it is ever disturbed by shock,
such as transplanting. the leaves
stand out in all directions and culver
violently. Strangest of all. they send
oyt a pungent, nauseating odor that is
most unpleasant.

the form of the head is unniistakable.
More amusing than any of these
pictures, and decidedly more ingenious
is that of an old man making an argu-
ment of some kind and emphasizing
his points with his gesticulating
hand. For this shadow you will need
a bit of cardboard to be held in the
left hand to represent the cap, and a
cloth over the left arm to represent
the old mans shoulder and chest.
And finally. here is an old soldier

to the argument. for you see him look

her father. The old gentleman had
Just enjoyed his ninety-eighth birth
day. and l had called to enjoy few
minutes chat with him.
This man had an atmosphere of
hearty good cheer, and I have often
gone out of my way to visit little
while with him. 1t was a real pleas
ure to me to let him take the heavy
cane | had used when a boy, because
| enjoyed pleasing the old gentleman,
and because l had longed to have that
cane give some elderly man enjoyment
1t was a wholesome looking article.
My father made 1t for me during the
Philadelphia centennial, while l was
walking with crutches in little town

boy in the city, some boy
,,,ttI, b,,ei,oes copco ,ouJJ have Govt
him canes, he could have sold them
and we might have grown an industry
that would support both of us.
The real reason for this record is
one of regret. One day while / was
using the cane l came home from
school and found my grandfather had
come for visit. He was the only one
OF my grandparents living and we
thought more of each other than I
then realized. During the last nearly
score of years l have seen myself
many times as l stood in the kitchen
door and refused to give or sell him
that cane.
He admired 1t very much. 1t was
better proportioned for him than for
me, and l have wished more times
than l am years old that l had given
it to him. He teased me to sell 1t to
him and I refused several times, In
sisting on keeping 1t.
II is a mystery to me why such dis
cords are possible in this world.
never enjoyed that cane a particle
after grandfather left. He gave me a
dollar and said goodbye and l never
thought for moment of giving him
the cane.
A few months later my father and
attended his funeral and since then
have had a love for elderly men. 1t
may be that my selfishness over the
cane has been blessing to others by
the reaction of my emotions. l am
forced, by my lack of wisdom in the
past, to study the comfort and pleas
ure of elderly men. 1t may be that
my grandfather never cared as much
for that cane as / thought he did, and
that Providence permitted me to be
painfully selfish for moment in order
that l might be more thoughtful ever
after.
Some time ago a man wrote that no
now wished he had spent less time in
his den" under the stairs trying to be
modern Shakespeare and more time
getting acquainted with his father and
mother, sisters and brothers.
Since have learned more about the
hearts of others l am able to recog-
nize the lost opportunities.
