Those who know anything of the
daily routine of army posts and on
board our ships of war it is hardly
necessary to say that the note of the
bugle is the most familiar sound of a
military or naval life. There is scarce
ly an hour of the day that it's ringing
trumpet call does not greet the ear,
heralding some drill, formation or in
spection, and. to the soldier and sailor
alike, sleeping or waking, it becomes
an everpresent accompaniment, if not
regulator, of his clock-work existence.
As such, then, there must be some
interest attached to the meaning of
the signals which it conveys, how they
can be understood and distinguished
apart. AS military adjunct the bugle
is doubtless Of extreme antiquity.
Trumpets were carried by the Per-
slams among the hosts of Xerxes, and
in its many varieties the bugle was
a favorite with ancient warriors. 1t
even seems to antedate all other musi-
cal instruments, as it appeared on the
Egyptian bas relief at Thebes, on the
stone relics of the Druids in the Brit
ish Museum, in pictures of Grecian
mythology and in the legends of the
fall Of Troy. A horn or perforat ted

Automatic time stock feeders are not
new to the trades, by any means, but
few are as simple as the one shown
in the illustration. This is so con-
structed that the feed may be auto
matically released at a predetermined
moment by attachment to an alarm
clock and fed into trough or manger.
A chute, through which the food is to
be passed. is shown here. with a
hinged door at right angles to the in
ner wall thereof, the door being con-
nected with an arm which projects
through the wall of the chute. This
arm is fastened to a spring held to a
pin in the outer wall of the chute. A
bracket supports clock upon the
other side of the chute, the clock hav-
ing an alarm attachment The key
which winds the alarm apparatus is
connected to spring pressed bolt which
is mounted in the wall of the chute
and designed to support the hinged
door when the same Is weighted down
with food. As the clock runs down
the cord withdraws the bolt, and when
the proper time is reached the door Is
released and the food falls down to the
manger. After the door is relieved of
its weight the spring will cause it to
resume its normal position. This would
also be very useful in large establish
ments.

the chief distinction being that the
trumpet has an extra crook which
gives it a baritone instead Of a tenor
note. The bugles in common use are
usually F or G in tone. The appear
ance Of the latter instrument is so
we'll known that it hardly needs de-
scribing. Its sound, to the soldier, at
least, is an every day affair.
Until a few years ago the "boats-
mans pipe," a curious little silver
whistle with the shrillest Of sounds,
was the monitor to whose merry chirp-
ing the rollicking jack tars yielded a
ready and willing obedience. But with
the advent Of the new navy, fighting
turrets, military masts and rapid-fire
guns, this relic of the days Of oak and
sails, like other things nautical, has
gone under with the tidal wave of
change which has swept over the naval
service, and has found itself almost,
If not quite, supplanted by the brazen
trumpet.
