ISIT CUPID OR.
MARS Who GUIDES
THAT HEL|OGRAPH?

There's a mystery in Washington.
The mystery is this:
Who is heliographing from the
window on the left end OF the second
floor rear Of a building which fronts
on II street betwee1 Thirteenth and
Fourteenth?
And is Mars or Cupid the moving
spirit which causes the photographer
to heliograph?
For the benefit OF those who don't
know what heliographing means. IL
is a word which denotes the process
OF signaling by means of reflection
OF the suns rays. In other words,
its signaling by flashing a mirror.
For weeks past, around noon on
sunny days, mysterious signals of
this nature-bright, binding flashes
from a small mirror in some ones
hands-wink mysteriously in the
general direction OF the Munsey build
ing. from the windows of which the
signals are easily visible.
The question isis some loye-sick
swain heliographing to his steno-
sweetheart in some other building.
or is some enemy spy transmitting
information. or what?
