A new device. designed to supersede
signaling with flags from ships. has re-

the work claimed for 1t it will be a great
boon to shipping.
The inventor contends that with one OF
his machines on board a ship its signals
can be read with glasses ten miles dis
tant, and, as it is based on the Morse
code, a system understood by almost
every officer afloat, it is at once familiar.
The idea is that it will serve as visual
long-distance signal and entirely super
sede flags.
1t can be used for code or verbatim
messages reaching as high as sixty-seven
words a minute plainly expressed But
one man is needed TO operate 1t. while
as many as three Or four are needed
to signal by the flag system The in
vention can also be used for land sig
mailing.
Under the present code of signals by
flags 1t is often difficult to read correct
