The use of wireless telography in
wartime was recognized long ago and
as far back as 1899 experiments were
made by lhe French army In trans

of captive balloons 10 which were att

to 500 feet in length These attempts
proved moderately successful mes

About the same time the Ausuims
managed to send messages nearly
double the distance, and in the Ger
man army signals were transmitted
more shan % miles by the same
method The first occasion when the
wireless system was put TO a practi-
cal test in the field however, was last
year in the Herrera campaign, when

been conducting attack upon the target built
TO resemble the broadside of a ship OF war. The
structure is painted, and there are some supports

being TO ascertain at first hand and by direct OBJ
servation the danger there may be from the COM
muncation of fire by the paint which is applied
10 the target. This is the same sort of paint
which is used on board ship, and il has been held
by of the observers that there is danger
from fire which is distinct from that of explosion.
On the other hand the naval experts have deter
mined that there is no need OF taking PRECAUTIONS
against escape from fire. in the old days when
there were wooden ships. Then liferafts and life

board. Now the boats to be carried will be such

So far as the first named method applies to re-
,,,lts IN consumption Of the canal he says: 'The
conclusion that the work be done better,
cheaper and more quickly by the government has
been reached only after free and full discussion
by the various members Of the commission and
The higher officials connected with the construc-
ton work and after careful consideration of all
