WIRELESS TALK BY WINDMILL.

How Dutch PFOprietOrs
with One Another.
To the casual observer viewing "A
Dutch landscape there Is nothing to
arrest the attention In the fact that
possibly one or more out Of a dozen
windmills in sight are to all appear
ances simply standing Idle while the
others continue their n~ever-ending task.
says the Windsor Magazine.
II d watches the sails of the Idle
mills closely 1t nay perhaps be noticed
that they move slightly from time to
time and then remain for a while at n
different angle.
If this Is SO, the miller is In all prob
ability engaged In holding a
ton With the proprietor of the other
mill, which may be miles away in fact,
possibly barely visible OF the horizon.
Quite recently theSD Dutch government
carried on a series OF -eNperiments In
order to ascertain the value Of windmill
signaling for military purposes and was
surprised to find that communication
could readily be established with far
distant centers, and that confidential
messages could be sent on from one mill
to the other and SO forwarded through
out the length and breadth Of Holland
in an Incredibly short time by means
Of secret codes known. only to the mill
ers themselves.
These codes have been handed down
from generation to generation and jeal-
ously guarded from outsiders with all
the intense conservatism for which the
provincial Dutch are proverbial.
Apart, however, from these secret
codes, understood only by the mlllers
and local groups of mill owners, there
exists a series of windmill signals with
which every n of the Inhabitants Of
the country districts is familiar.
At times, for instance, a mill may
stop working suddenly and the miller
be seen to come out and, with the aid
Of a long pole with an iron hook at the
end like a gigantic boathook, reach up
