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?

I cau’t stop my sewing now\ Tell her I’m not at home. Ann—Please, mum. I’ve been tellin’ so mauy you're not at home I wish you'd see some uv ’em. “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 husband to know uv your goin’s on.” “Goings on! What do they mean?” “They think, mum, you’re the worst gadabout In town!”—Exchange. With Reservation. 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.
