Th*re are doubtless very few people in Savannah who are aware of the fact that the rork* t signals now In general use by th** w* at her bureau for giving informa tion of the approach of storms were orig inated and suggested to the bureau hy a Savannah man. Dr. 8t J H Graham is the man. and the !)• a occurred to him while he was in the service of ihe city as quarantirc officer. l)r Graham was at the quarantine sta ll >n during the Morm of I*o3. and It will l*e remembered did some heroic acts there In saving the lives of several members of a shipwrecked cr* w The telephone line to the -tatl n was rendered useless by the Htorm and then w - no m sn* of com muniratlon except by I oat. the Tybee rall rcd having been practically destroyed. Th. l-i • Dr Goorge It. Btone. who took a icr at deaf of interest in the develop ne nt of carrier pigeons, had suggested to Dr Graham the use of pigeons for such emergencies, but the experiments In this line had n*t proved entirely successful It was Dr Htone's Idea that carrier pigeons might l>e generally used by ihe weather bureau for conveying Information of ap proaching storms. "It occurred to me " said Dr Graham, when asked about the matter yesterday, "that there ought to he some more Ter rain and expeditious method of giving no tice to p*ople on the plantations, and to the shipping people In the harbor and at •in near the coast of the approach of sform* than those then In use, I u< cord tngly wrote Mr I* 11.

In r*ctnt years, and the p o ple geneiallv have become more aware of the value of keeping in touc h with this information. Nevertheless the system of rocket signals has proven of great value in conveying Information of Hpi'ieachin; storm* to people it u distance from town* and telegraph offlcas. The rockets can be seen at night for a distance of 1A miles nnd thus serve as a warning to people on th*- plantations a* well is those at *e A res ket sent up at ftavannah can be seen at Tybee. and In case telephone and tele graphic coromunn at ion should be broken the signal can be taken up there and con vey, and to Fort Royal and other points along the .oust, thus notifying the ship ping people over a wide and Importairt area.
