Kite Signaling Of French Navy.

Novel ways Of signaling were tried
out recently during the naval ma
neuvers in the Mediterranean by men
aboard the French warships.. 1t was
generally sossc .tod that the tests with
box Kites we're most efficient The
results proved that the boz kites. be-
Ing light, can be hoisted even when
there Is but slight breeze; and their
size makes them easily discernible
from great distances. The signal sys-
tenn used was similar to that of the
flag system. Various combinations of
kite groupings were used. While this
system Of signaling is not quite SO
fast as signaling by means of flags.
II is more definite, 1t is claimed, and
can be seen for miles around. The
success of the experiment has led TO
to a recommendation to the French
government that the system be intro
duced generally in the navy of France.
