SIGNALS FROM AIR CRAFT.
SCOT Clouds, Mirrer Flashes and Torch
Bombs Are Used,


To an army commander the value of
a military aeroplane is its power to To-
cate hostile artillery and direct gunfire
rather than it's bomb dropping posi-
bilities. Thus it is very necessary that
pilot several thousand feet in the air
should be able to communicate with
the headquarters staff on earth so that
he may convey the necessary informa-
ton for the guidance Of gunners hurl-
ing shells at targets miles ahead which
they cannot see.
A very ingenious method Of signal
ing from an aeroplane is by means Of
SCOT clouds. An apparatus filed with
lampblack rests near the hand Of the
aviator, and when he presses a lever
some Of this SCOT passes down pipe
and is discharged in black CLOUD. The
pipe Is so delicately arranged that the
clouds may be small or large. The
operator can spell out the Morse tele-
graphic code in little clouds, and they
can be read from the earth when the
aviator is 1000 feet high.
Another clever means of signaling
from air craft Is that carried out by
means of lamps and mirrors. A lamp
which has flash of 10000 candle pow
er sends piercing rays of light through
a tube fitted with powerful magnifying
glasses. When a message is sent the
operator directs his flasher in the re
quired direction. presses button, and
Il brilliant light flashes out long or
short. according to the pressure. The
officers on earth receive the message
and may send reply in the same way,
being provided with similar mirrors
and lamps. The rays of light sent out
are almost as bright as sunlight, so
that they can be seen with the naked
eye for distance Of four miles in the
daytime and at night for q distance of
eight miles,
When military ayiators wish to drop
Q written communication to the earth
without descending they utilize an in
genious bomb. This contains the docu-
ment. and the projectile is weighted
SO that it falls sharp end first. AS the
end strikes the ground q trigger is re-
leased. which sets fire TO a torch on
top. and thus the location of the bomb
is indicated day or night.-Rearson's

Party Rather Than Men.

As heretofore stated. the conviction
prevails among state leaders that the
republican party is to pull! the ma

the national ticket is to be depended

atorial and congressional tickets must
be utilized to get out the republican
strength and to stimulate interest in
republican policies.

of this state of affairs. and will see to

progressives. In preaching republi-
canism, therefore, it is claimed that
there viii be no advocacy of reaction.
