For stringing its field wire telegraph and teIe-
phone lines the signal corps now uses light
lance piles carried IN the field In lance
wagons" After experimenting for a number OF
years TO develop portable field telephone for
use in camp. in the field and on the march, the
skilled electricians of the corps have perfected
compact device consisting of a transmitter and
receiver on one hand support. so that one hand
only is required for conversation The whole
outfit, weighing twenty-One pounds, fits into a
compact carrying case with a strap sling
Switchboards for field central stations are now
made SO compact that one can be mounted upon
tripod at army division or brigade headquar-
ters I'm the field
All Of these electrical inventions now constt
tuting the nervous system of our army have
almost entirely superseded such visual means %
signalling as the wigwag flag, the heiiOgraph
and acetylene lamp In the japanese army
there is now practically no visual signalling at
all However. the experience in our own army
has been that often occasions arise where no
other means of communication are possible. For
instance. for many months all Of the military
and administrative business OF the island of
Bohol in the Philippines was transacted
through signal corps heliOgraphs and fash Ian
terms communicating with Argas. on the ad-
of oh heir
wireless connection between these islands
Signal bombs and rockets are an essential
part of the equipment Of the signal corps. The
bombs are pasteboard shells. charged with stars
which burn brilliantly when ignited. Three
kinds Of rockets are now in use. One is so ar
ranged that !. can be loaded with different coors
at any time and four lights in sequence may be
used BY using the "Myer code" any letter or
number may be signalIed with one rocket and
thus messages may be sent by exploding any
number desired Another. the Tight and sound
rocket which discharges with a loud report
and displays a white light, is for attracting at
tentiOn or indicating prearranged signal The
third or smoke rocket" used in the daytime
emits a deep yellow smoke upon exploding
These explosive signals are for signalling across
impossible places or by parties of troops that

ments show that they can De read at distance

These field outfits have only been introduced IN

by them over distances OF twenty-five TO thirty

CONFDERATES IN
NORTHERN PRISONS

A good many people in the north
will be astonished to learn that the
war department is about TO contract
for 10000 headstones to mark the
graves OF confederate soldiers who
died in northern prisons. In this lat
itude we hear a great deal about
Libby and Andersonville and Castle
thunder, but not many ever heard OF
Elmire or Johnson's island The
truth is that the death rate OF con
federates I'm northern prisons was
very high. Southern writer's pro.
duce the figures to show that It was
higher than the death rate I'm the
confederate prison pens. for which
our winters may account The south
was in no condition to take care OF
Its prisoners. Wirz and some other
southern officers were unduestion-
ably brutes, but when the south cut
up its carpets for blankets for it's
soldiers, and ground the cobs with
the corn for the rations of its sons
at the front it could not be ex-
pected give much food or shelter
to its Philadelphia Press.
