 Some are of the opinion that the chances are at least that the com mand will do coast defense work throughout the war. Others hazard the guess that, If the war is. long drawn out the command may be changed over into a heavy artillery regiment and sent to France.
 Within a month the men will get short leaves of absence and it is al- most certain that all of them will have an opportunity to visit at their homes before leaving, if they do leave. from their present station.

Contrary to the general belief that the
heltograpn virtually Is an instrume Mt
for signaling short distances, 1t has been
used between London and Brighton, a
distance Of seventy miles. But this GER
tafnly was on an exceptionally clear day
with an intense sunlight.
This instrument, which, for more than
half century, has been found of benefit
in army tactics, is destined to pass in
the near future to oblivion as the result
of the invasion of the wireless telegraph.
The heliograph is nothing more than
a mirror on which the suns rays are
caught and by which they are reflected.
The flashes can be thrown in any desired
direction and the telegraphio Morse code
generally is used. ~
Apart from the signaling. the distance
at which objects can be discovered by
the eye depends on two things-their
height and the clearness OF the air. The
most conspicuous object in the British
Isles is Mt Snowdon, in Wales, which on
