DAY OR NIGHT SIGNAL FLAGS
ELECTRICAL Attachment Designed Espe-
ciplly for semanhore Signaling hi
vented by New York Soldier.

r&S
Flags are not very satisfactory for
semaphore signaling. Their FRANCE Of
visibility (for obvious ~reasons) Ii
much diminished In d strong breeze ;
and under such circumstances a flag
often becomes entangled with the
staff.
An important Improvement has been
invented by Sergt. Fl. A. Pierce, for
merly of Battery A, First New York
field artillery. 1t is a rigid semaphore,
fitted with an Illuminating device for
use at night-when, Of course, flags
would be invisible.
Take a wire ring Is inches in diam
eter and stretch within It's circumfer-
ence a circular piece of white bunting
with a red center. Provide the ring
with a straight handle consisting of a
brass rod and wooden grip. Furnish
yourself with two of these, and they
will give you a semaphore as servicea-
BILE in a high wind as in a dead calm.
SO much for daytime signaling. For
night use, there is an electric lamp adj
Unstable in such a way as to protrude
through the center of each red disk.
The lamps are energized by a small
battery-box hung from the operators
neck.
These two lamps (affixed for night
use by screwing them into place. are
white. A third lamp, that gives a red
color, is fixed in a socket on the front
of the battery box, which the operator,
in a %squatting attitude, places between
his feet. He has thus two whites and
one red, and, by waving his circular
"flags," he can send any message de-
sired.

Old caverns Destroyed.

The destructive effects Of the bonn.
bardment by French heavy guns Of the
ancient and extensive rock caverns in
which the German forces on the Aisne
have found shelter since 1915, are de-
scribed in a dispatch from the front.
In one case the ground was SO up
heaved that no sign Of the cavern re-
manned. In another the entrance and
exit completely disappeared under the
bombardment so that efforts Of French
troops To reach 800 imprisoned Ger
mans were unavailing.

Nicholas Plays Whist.

According to a Petrograd dispatch,
Nicholas Romanoff, the deposed Rus
sian emperor, passes a great deal OF
his time in playing whist, Of which he
is very fond. In pre-war times whist
was one of the most popular court d.
versions in Russia, and the emperor
had a special de luxe card which was
made for his exclusive use. Over loo
packs of these imperial cards were
used every year, and they cost the
Russian government about 81 a pack,
being made Of the finest linen rags,
with a water-mark of the imperial
crown and eagle.

We have a large crop of new pota

save transportation if we use the food
we have at home, and not call upol
the railroads to carry foods, when w
have abundance of cereals to meet on

should be used at this season Of thu

In connection with these fruits ant

versify in preparing the meals SO tina
no one need complain of a samenes

At this time no canned fruits o

Sugar may be secured for this pull

it's use for preserving purposes.
These short-lived foods (fruits ant
vegetables) may be used literally
where there is an abundance of them
to save them from waste.
The housewife If in need OF hel.
