WEATHER SIGNALS
TO BE DISPLAYED ON LIGHTsHIP
NO. 70 OFF DIAMOND SHOALS

Lightshlp No Y. Capt. Hansen. yester-
Gay began three months tour of duty on
the dangerous Diamond Shoals. Off Cape
Hatteras. relieving lightship No. II. which
will come to Baltimore to be overhauled
and made ready for service again when 1t is
time for her to take her place on the
station. Since she was last on the station
No. ~ has been equipped with wireless
telegraph outfit and will daily be in COM
munication with the shore and will send
weather bulletins from her station to the
weather bureau In this city. An innovation
In the service of No. Y on Hatteras will be
the fact that she will display weather sig
nails from her mastheads, SO that the mas
tiers of passing vessels can read and learn.
The weather bureau here will daily send
Capt Hansen the weather indications, and
he will see that the prorer signal is dis
played. For the purpose OF doing this work
the vessel has been equipped with all the
weather flags and her crew have been in
structed in their use. The system of Prof.
Fessenden OF this city has been installed on
the ship by Mr.. H. G.. Gawler of this city.
Expert operators have been sent to the ship
by the Navy Department, and they will be
under the direction of Mr. David McWhor-
ter. The flying of the weather signals from
the ship is expected to be of great value to
coastwise shipping. and 1t IS expected the
service will be extended to all the lightships
on the coast that are equipped with the
wireless telegraph outfit 1t is the first time
the experiment has ever been tried. and the
working of it is not only awaited with in
terest by the officials of our own govern
ment, but by those of the representatives of
the foreign powers rs well.
No. ~ has been at Baltimore for a month
past preparing for this service. and she Is
today the most complete and modern light
ship af1oat. No. II, her sister ship, is equip
ped with the wireless, but the weather sig
nails are not displayed from her, though she
made weather reports to the weather bu-
reau here. When the ship sailed from Bal
timore early in the week she had taken
aboard $50 tons of coal, 10000 gallons OF
water and many hundred pounds of corned
pork and beef, of pickles, canned goods
flour and other necessaries to satisfy the
appetites of about twenty men, the crew OF
the ship. Capt. Hansen has for his aids
Capt. Robert H Bertram, first officer;
Thomas Fitzpatrick, chief engineer; Hugo
Berna gozzi, assistant engineer. and Thomas
Baker chief steward The life on the light
ship is very monotonous, and In order to
keep the men In good health the ships
change station every three months, and OF
the three months off the station the men
are allowed considerable liberty ashore. No
II, which has just been relieved from the
station. is expected to come in the capes OF
the Chesapeake today.

GUN SIGHTS ON SMALL ARMS.
Recent Changes That Have Been APP
proved by Secretary Taft.

Secretary Taft has approved a number
of changes In the matter of gun sights on
the new small arms adopted for the army
as recommended by the general staff and
Gen. Crozier. chief of ordnance. In re-
of staff, called attention TO the fact that
In the Russian-Japanese war the Russians
used volleys In all their firing, beginning
at long ranges and continuing until the
final rush of the japanese, and that the
Japanese fire was always Individual in ac-
ton.
''Volley fire." says Gen. Chaffee was
noted only once in seven months obserYa-
ton. used against a retreating Russian
force massed at an estimated range of
1850 to 1850 yards, and this fire soon
ceased. Small arms fire at such extreme
value, while ranges from .. 500 to $500 yards
are artillery ranges, pure and simple. The
experiences of this war are demonstrating
the value of the American idea of having
skilled individual marksmen. not a body
of men firing volleys into the air with the
hope of accidentally hitting something
The division first also concurs In the
opinion of the chief of ordnance that the
issue of sights having different sizes of
peep holes does not appear necessary A
man who has obtained q special slide turns
in his rife on discharge and the next man
to receive the rifle will want some 6ther
slide. There will be constant and unneces-
mended by the board. after thorough test,
as suitable to meet all the requirements of
shooting under battle conditions should not
be changed unless practical experience by
all arms of the service using the rifle, die
tate such a change"

A Congress of Nations.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Some years ago, even before the car of
Russia published his peace proposition to
the world, / wrote, as the ideas were pre-
sented to my mind, the substance of this
communication. Having found 1t recently
among some papers after examination
see no reason why the necessity does not
now exist for just such body of repre-
sentative persons. 1t Is not expected that
much will come of it, seeing it's origin is
from one of the common people destitute
of the privilege of scholastic thought or
training, but sometimes seed GhOughD
may be dropped where it will grow and be
productive of good. either for shade or
fruit flower, who knows?
Probably the civilization of the earth has
progressed so far that a permanent and
periodical congress of nations might be a
possible and useful condition In the near
future A body of men and women to be
selected by each of the nations OF tae globe
to meet not oftener than once a year or
biennally, at first in such city as the dele
to the first meeting and afterward as they
shall fix upon at the regular meeting pre-
ceding the time of the next.
The delegates to consist of two persons
from each nation, not under thirty years of
age, either male female, as may be de-
sired, either of whom would be eligible TO
preside when the meeting was held in their
own country, and both of them. on such oc-
ton.
No salary or compensation for services
should be paid the delegates TO the con-
gress, but their expenses should be borne
by the governments they represent. Places
for the meeting, etc, should be provided by
the executive or legislature of the country
in whose dominions the congress shall be
determined to be held.
This body should discuss and make recon-
mendations upon subjects of national in
terest to the world, but not render any de-
cisions Faithful reports of their proceed
ings by competent stenographers should be
prepared and sent to the state departments
by each party of delegates for information
to the several countries represented and for
consideration by the legislators, giving TO
each the same sources of thought repre-
scented by the delegates of the nations.
Would it not be grand thing IL universal
peace land happiness1 to the teeming mil
lions of this old earth should be secured,
ard thus the peace of the world become the
ultimate. growing out of the subjects dis
cussed by such congress of nations?

FAMOUS TREATIES.
Paris Has Had Six Of Them, All I'M
portant, Named After It.

From the Chicago News.
If Russians and Japanese really negotiate
their peace agreement at Washington the
treaty will be known as the treaty of
Washington" Among the most important
of the worlds treaties are the following:
The treaty of Westphalia Q64S). which
ended the thirty years war. The peace Of
the Pyrenees d659) definitely marked the
fall of Spain from its position as the leader
OF Europe. A historian says: when Spain
signed with France the peace of the Ply
renees she signed away with It the last
remnant of the supremacy had ex-
ercsed In Europe. France, the victor, took
the place of Spain in the councils of the
continent" By the peace of Augsburg
Q55o) religious freedom was assured to
Germany and the war between Protestants
and Catholics came to an end. The treaty
Of Utrecht in 1913 terminated the war Of
the Spanish succession.
A humber of. the most import ants treaties
in modern history are known as the treaties
of Paris. They are six In number and bear
the dates of 1903, 1883, 1914, 1915. 1856 and
1898. The first OF the series marked the
end of the seven years war. Among other
things it provided for the cession to Great
Britain of Canada and the region east of
the Mississippi river. The treaty of Paris
September 3, 1888, between Great Britain
and the United States. marked the close
OF the American revolution and recognized
gressions of France under Napoleon found
their conclusion in the treaties of Paris of
1914 and 1915, by the second of which
France was compelled to pay an indemnity
to the allies amounting in all to near $780,
OCOCO0.
In 1855 treaty Of Paris was concluded
among the powers at the close of the Cri-
mean war. 1t provided that the Black sea
should be neutralized and that it should be
thrown open to the merchant marine of
every nation. The treaty of Paris of De-
cember 10. 1898. terminated the Spanish
American war. Spain relinquished her
sovereignty in Cuba and coded Porto Rico
Guam and the Philippines to the United
States. For the Philippines it received $50
100000. Other important treaties were that
of Berlin. settling the eastern question

Germany.
Latin was formerly the language used in
treaties. But treaties to which several Eu-
ropean powers are parties are now general
ly drawn up In French. the use of which
became common in the time of Louis XIV,
but the final act of the congress of Wilma

this language being obligatory. A great
