than reef that has gradually in
creased in proportions by accumula-

originally the reef was submerged en-

was two separate islands. The channel
thru the island will make possible far
straighter courses between many points
on the lake and will be a general con-

scouting with the Telephone.

Scouting with the aid of the tele-
phone has become one Of the features
Of modern warfare, and is now being
madr use Of by the japanese. Two
scouts proceed from the lines toward
the enemy; one, the observer, is a skill
ed army officer, who makes the obser-

headquarters through a telephone line
paid out from a reel carried by an cleo
trician of the signal corps. A ground
return Is used. the ground being made
by thrusting a bayonet or Ratchet into
the earth and attaching one end Of the
line to it. The electrician carries a
battery ON his back. He also makes
the connections and does the talking.
A special conductor is used which will
stand rough usage. In this name a
scout may be able to stay out a long
time and give valuable information
without being obliged to make a num-
