cut off by means of a screen or shutter.
The mirror was first used for signalling
in British India about 1873, but the in
strumcnt had no shutter and was con-
stantly getting out Of alignment owing
to the necessity of moving the mirror
itself with a key to make the signals.
Experiments were begun In the United
States with view to overcoming this
defect and the American model has the
mirror mounted on separate tripod
which is never moved after the range
has been found, the signalling being all
done with screen or shutter mounted
on separate tripod. The complete kit
consists Of two tripods with carrying
case two mirrors, a screen, a sighting
rod and "A mirror bar. The total cost Of
the outfit is about 1925,
The mirrors are Az inches square, and
in the centre OF each there is an unsil-
vercd spot, less than a quarter Of an
inch in diameter. for sighting through,
The screen is something like a window
blind, the Stats opening with the pres

When it is desired to attract the at
tention of distant station, the location
of which is known approximately, the
mirror is turned so as TO throw steady
light in that direction until the called
station answers. During the transmits
sion of a message if the receiver sees
that the sender's mirror is getting out
Of adjustment he will turn a steady
nash on him until answered by a steady
lash. The adjustment being satisfac-
tory, the receiver will cut off his fash
ana the sender will resume his message.
The first thing to do when preparing
to send a message to a given station is
to draw bead on II. This is done by
looking through the small hole In the
centre of the mirror after clamping it
to the mirror bar and using the front
sight at the other end Of the har.
There are two adjustments on the
mirror, one of which revolves il hori-
zontally, and the other turns it at any
angle to the sky. Neither of these in
terferes with the line of sight from the
unsllvered spot to the front sight be-
cause the mirror turns with this spot
as centre, The object Of moving the
mirror after the line of sight is found
is to get the suns rays reflected on the
front sight In such a manner that the
dark place of the unsilvered spot shall
fall right on the bead OF the front sight
The worm gear that makes these ad-
justmentS locks the mirror In position
During this operation an uninter-
rupted steady fash Is directed toward
the distant station, which tells the man
there that the instrument is not yet
ready for action. The next step is to
place the tripod that carries the screen,
or shutter, in such a position that II
snail intercept this ray of light. This
is very easily done. as the image Of the

COMMIT TEE VOTES TO
RESTORE POLICEMAN
Congressman Believe Spencer
Roberts Has Been UnduIy
Punished by Superiors.

Favorable action on the bill for the
relief of Spencer Roberts. a policeman.
to restore him to his old grade, was
taken by the House District Committee
today. The committee reported a bill
authorizing the Commissioners to ap-
point Policeman Roberts to the first
vacancy in class 3. The Officer Is now
in class 2.
The enactment Of the bill win end an
old controversy dating back to 1906.
when Roberts was accused Of neglect
of duty and removed from the force
The original charge was later found to
have been unjustified. and he was put
back on the force, but with a conse-
Quent loss In time served and rank.
Later, according to Roberts plea to the
Commissioners and the committee, he
was several times the victim of unjust
accusations, which he declared were
predicated on prejudice arising through
the old charge.
The District Committee took the view
that Roberts has. as he claimed, been
and the committee recommends his
restoration to the rank he would now
be enjoying II II had not been for his
trouble.
Roberts did not ask for pay during
the time he was OF the force. A let
ter was read at the meeting today
from A. Leftwich Sinclair, former spe-
cial counsel for the District, expressing
doubt as to the guilt OF Roberts Of the
comparatively minor offenses charged
against lim. which included drinking
on duty. unbecoming conduct, and
leaving his beat
