what crops the soil will best sustain.
The natives have been induced to im?crt

ARMY WILL SIGNAL
FROM AER0PLANES

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1a.-Experiments
at the army aviation school at College
Park, Md, are to be made with an aerial
signalling apparatus devised by Lieut..
Roy c. kirkland, the army aviator. and
Charles Bowman, semaphoric expert.
The apparatus is based upon the crude
semaphoric methods employed by the
Indians. The Morse code will be used,
the signals being shown by smoke ennis
sions from a caldron.
The caldron is shaped like teapot and
will be controlled by valve. The smoke
will be generated by a chemical mixture.
With this device 1t is planned TO spell
out words against the sky. The velocity
of the aeroplane In flight, it is cal
culated, will always counteraot the force
of the wind, and 1t is believed that it
will be possible to leave behind a trail
of signals perfectly legible to men on
the grounds.
