USE SIGNALS OF INDIANS.
Army Experts Adopt Many Ideas ot
the Aborigines.
Just as the fighting men of the Unit¬
ed States army many years ago took
lessons from the Indians aud from
their methods of warfare devised and
perfected the system of extended or¬
der or skirmish drills which have prov¬
ed so effective, so the signal corps of
the army has followed to a large ex¬
tent the red men’s methods of convey¬
ing information from point to point
where there is not time to string tele¬
graph or telephone lines or where wire¬
less telegraph is unavailable.
As the Indians since prehistoric
times have used columns of smoke in
various combinations to signal the ap¬
proach of an enemy or to transmit
other messages, so the army signalmen
have found most effective what are
known as smoke bombs or smoke rock¬
ets. The former are fired from a small
mortar, the latter in the same way as
Fourth of July fireworks. Each when
reaching a desired height, regulated by
a fuse, bursts and liberates a picric acid
compound, which ignites and burns
colored fires, one after the other, so
arranged in the cartridge as to convey
a message to those who may be watch¬
ing for it. These cartridges «re made
In sections, each containing its own
different colored fire, and threaded to
screw together in a fraction of a min¬
ute.
These military fireworks, as they
might aptly be called, are packed In
hermetically sealed cans, much in the
same manner as tinned meats, with
the same sort of thumbscrew attach¬
ment for opening them quickly. In
this way they keep indefinitely in any
climate and have been found particu¬
larly effective in the campaigns in the
Philippines.
While the navy does not employ so
complicated a system of rocket aud
bomb signaling as does the army, ev¬
ery warship carries a supply of pow¬
erful rockets, which liberate on burst¬
ing a series of brilliant white stars for
the purpose of calling attention to
other signals which are transmitted
by a system of combinations of colored
electric lights strung from a masthead
and operated from a switchboard much
on the plan of a typewriter, called the
Ardois system. But both branches of
the service employ an odd sort of pis¬
tol, the invention of a naval officer,
which shoots from cartridges “stars”
similar to those of a roman candle of
any color. The combinations which
can be made In this manner practically
are numberless.—Popular Mechanics.
Bashful Youth—Miss Bella, does -
does your mother object to my coming
here so much? Fair Charmer—Oh, 1
think not! I heard her telling papa the
other evening that you merely came to
pass away the time; yon didn’t mean
anything serious.—London Tit-Bits.

Tell her I’m not at home.
Ann—Please, mum. I’ve been tellin’

“Why, Ann?”
“I don’t like the way they act. They
look at each other and snicker so.”
“Mercy! Do they suspect I am at
home?”
“No, mum; I wish they did. I heard
one uv ’em say they wouldn't like your

Here is the story of covenanting
times in Scotland, of which an old
laird of Galloway was the central fig¬
ure:
Learning that he was about to be
raided by Claverhouse, whose dragoons
wefe coming in search of him, the old
laird effected his escape disguised as
one of his own plowmen. As he was
leaving the house he was stopped by
the dragoons, who asked if the laird
as at home.
“Well,” said the old covenanter, “he
was there when I was there.”
The dragoons went their way, and
the old laird went his and lived to tell
the truth another day.
An Awkward Text.
A butcher of a certain village, being
a devout Christian, whenever he sent
a business note invariably accom¬
panied It with a text.
A certain lady, wishing him to kill
some of her pigs, sent him a letter to
notify him of the fact, to which he
sent the following reply:
“Dear Madam—I will call on Friday
to kill your hogs without fail. Yours.
Mr. B. N. B.—‘Be ye also ready.’ ”—
London Graphic.
His Mite of Sense.
“Well, gentlemen.” said Tompkins to
a couple of his friends, “you can talk
as much as you please about the in¬
feriority of women, but there are lots
of them that can discount most of us
for brains. Take my wife, for in¬
stance. She’s got twice as much sense
as I have, and I ain’t ashamed to ac¬
knowledge it, either.”
“But don’t you think,” said one of
his auditors, “that you put rather a
low estimate on your wife’s intellec¬
tual powers ?”—Liverpool Mercury.
More Interesting.
“At the last meeting of our club we
were scheduled to discuss Henry VIII.
and his numerous divorces.”
“And didn’t you?”
“No; one of the members knew of an
impending divorce right in cur own
set”—Kansas City Journal.
