the letter C.
 This reads like slow works. but 1t is any. thing but slow. for the operators are so skill fnl and quick h the use of the flag that they can give and receive the letters almost as fast as a telegraph operator can give and receive the clicks of his instrument.
 The use of n strong field glass enables the receiving operator to read the signals at great distance. When 1t Is necessary to sig nal at night torch is substituted for the flag
 Wlgwagging in the navy is done on the same general principle, but the numerals 1, 9. are used instead of dots and dashes. The letter 4, by thls system, Is made by the numerals 2. 9; the letter by 2 2. 1, ?, the letter C by 1, ?, 1; the letter by ?, 2, 2, and SO on.
 Waving the flag to the right means 1, to the left means ?, and down the front means B. Two waves 10 the left, therefore, make the letter A; two waves to the left, one 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 a flashlight and the steam whistle in combination with the nu- morals. A short flash or short blast of the whistle means i two short flashes or two short blasts mean 2, and long flash or a long blast means 8.
 Provision Is thus made for signaling by day, whether the air be clear or foggy.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-08-02

The signal Corps plays a very important part in modern warfare-so important that army and navy officers say they could not possibly do without 1t. in spite of the fact that great campaigns were carried ol and great battles were fought before 1t was ever dreamed of.
 1aere are several systems of signaling In use by the army and navy. the simplest of which is that commonly called 'wlgwag- ging," q term that was invented for 1t. Near ly every one knows. perhaps. that the signal ing Is done by means of small flags, but brief description of how the flags are handled to convey message may not be without interest.
 The system is an adaptation of the Morse dot and dash telegraph alphabet, the differ ent movements of a flag taking the place of the dots and dashes. By the Morse alphabet the letter A Is represented by a dot and n dash, the by a dash and three dots. and the letter ( by two dots, space and dot. The other letters are represented in similar way.
 In the army system waving the flag to the right means dot; to the left, dash, and dropping it directly in front of the operator means Il space. If, therefore, the operator waves the flag once 10 the right and once to the left he makes the letter A; If he waves 1t once to the left and three times to the right he makes the letter B, and if he waves it twice to the right, once down in front and then once again 10 the right he makes

Don't Happen Often.

It is generally conceded that tho in
dividual who gets aheadSof the "green
goods nan al only do SO by getting
up early in the morning. Mr.. B. F.
Moore. of Yorkville, is 40 early riser.
he is generally at his Office along about
daylight. Whether this fact has any
thing to do with the subject under
consideration will not be further ar
gued just now; but 1t Ia q fact that he
Is just nifty cents ahead Of the green
goods peor!e. Here is how it happen.
ed: DR.. A. Y. Cartwright, who lives
across the way, was one of a half doz-
en- YorkYille people who received
green goods circulars last week. AL
most everybody knows what a green
goods circular is. It starts out by
telling the recipient that he is known
to the sender as a man who knows a
good thing when he meets it; that the
sender has been 80 fortunate as to Sc
cure some government plates of the 81
silver certificate, and provided with
SILK woven paper in abundance, is in a
position to turn out currency which to
all appearances is as good as the zen
ulne in unlimited quantities. The
circular goes or to give instructions as
to how the sender can be communion
ted with by telegraph or mail, and
goes on to say that if the recipient Of
the circular would more thoroughly
satisfy himself, all he has to do is to
mail 30 cents to the sender Of the cir
cular and get a sample of his money.
MIR. Moore and DR.. Cartwright laid
their heads together about the matter
and decided to make a pretense of
biting at the bait of the green goods
man by sending him SO cents. By
the mail of Wednesday they received
sample" in the shape Of q silver
certificate for 81. Both gentlemen
are more or less familiar with various
kinds OF paper currency and at first
glance they found full confirmation of
their original suspicious that the bill
had been made by Uncle Sam in the
regular way and that :. vas genuine.
They thoroughly enjoy the idea of hav-
ing beaten the green goods people out
of q half dollar; but at the same time
they are not disposed to advise any
body to try repetition CT the trans
action. The green goods people are
too>smart to allow themselves to be
caught a second time in the same To-
cality, and it is probable that the next
man who sends these people SO cents
for a sample will fail to hear anything
more from his etter.-Yorkville En-
