NAVAL SIGNALING.

IL Began In Ancient Days BY Raising
and Lowering Sails.
The origin Of the idea Of using aags
BY day and lanterns by night for sig.
mailing in the navy came into being
as Tar back as the middle ages.
In those ancient days some one
thought out a method Of raising and
lowering sails, the number Of times
they were raised or lowered indicating
the letter that was to be sent. That
proved very wearisOme work and was
superseded in the seventeenth century
by the use Of balls and cones hoisted
in various positions on the masts and
booms. At night different colored Ian
terms were used.
In the following century twelve flags
were used, either singly or in combina-
ton. and these flags supplied all the
signaling that was necessary in fight
ing. as "Make oil sail" Engage the
enemy" "Chase the enemy" or "An-
Choir"
When the battle Of Trafalgar was
fought the signals were sent by light,
guns and flares and flags, and 1t was
not till after that battle that the sys-
tenn, invented by Sir Home Popham
was used and on which are based the
present day methods Of signaling.
The system Of signaling from ship to
ship by semaphore was due to q
Frenchman named Chappe in 1904 and
adopted In the British navy a few
years later.-London Telegraph.

I have studied the habits Of the scor.

It is pretty well settled by physiolo.
gfsts and entomo;ogists that in insects
the antennae represent the organs Of
hearing. These delicate structures are
easily affected by the vibrations of
sound, and there can be no doubt what
ever that they are also affected by
sounds quite inaudible to the human
ear. The slightest vibration of the at
mosphere from any cause whatever at
once puts in motion the delicate struc-
lures which compose the antennae, to
which organs insects owe the power Of
protecting themselves against danger
