SPEAKING BY SUNLIGHT.
How the Heliograph Wns Used In
Mirny WftM.
1'roiii the tendon Dully Mill.
Most of tho news which came from
Lndranilth during the sleKe was irans
mlttel from tho liclcuKUcred town to
tleneral Uuller by meitnH of either tho
heliograph or flashllsht.
KlBht hundred yearn ago North Af
frlea had a system of wireless tcles
raphy by which places a hundred miles
apart could cxehanRe messaRes In a
few seconds. In Algiers buildings wero
erected on prominent sites over this
land, with adjustable mirrors on the
roofs. The stin'H rayw fulling on these
mirrors were flashed In the sky, and
were visible at great distances. It
wan easy torn ran bo a plan by which
the flashes of different length should
mean vnrlous letters and so make It
possible to oxchanijo conversation.
Then the world went to sleep, nnd It
wan not till the time of the Oilman
war that the possibility of talking
by sunilash began to arouse attention,
The Itusslans used mirrors for this
put pose largely when they were be
sieged nt ttclmstapol and this led tho
Kngllsh army to examine the matter,
but It was not until thirty years later
that the "mliror telegraph," as some
called It, was adopted by the Indian
army.
In $$'i expei Iments were begun by
the Kugtish army with the heliograph,
and they wero so satisfactory that
four yeais later every regiment and
battalion In the service was supplied
with two.
Since then there lins not been a mili
tary campaign without abundant de
monstrations of its usefulness.
In tho recent campaigns against na
tive tribes in Northern India the helio
graph wns Invaluable, and by It the
most outlying posts were kept In con
stant touch with headquarters. Your
enemy can cut the wire of your field
telegraph line: he cannot intercept the
flashes of your mirrors.
Many years before this. In the
Transvaal war of 1880. one of th be
sieged llrltlsh garrisons tried by every
possible means to open up communi
cation with other Urltlsh forces many
miles off. Hunners were intercepted,
messages never got through. At last a
bright Idea struck one of our ofllcer.
There was no heliograph with nir
troops, but the officer got a shaving
mirror and used an ordinary cloth
cap as a shade. He put the mirror nt
an angle to teach where he thought the
Hrltlsh relief column might be. and
started flashing In the sky by quick!
covering and exposing the mirror with
his cloth cap. At first came no re
spouse.
The wotk was continued, the signal
work being flashed around all likely
places. Then there came u Hash back
from the distance. With straining ees
and beating hearts the besieged men
lead nut tho signals sent from scores
or miles away: "All well. 15ellf
quickly coming."
What Is the heliograph? Hrlefly. it
Is a. circular adjustable mirror or mir
rors, usually mounted on tilpod stand,
and with a sighting arrangement at
inched. The mirror Is adjusted until
the shadow fiom the sighting tod (the
rod which stands out In front of th
glass) falls exactly on an unsllvered
spot In the center of the glass. The
unsllvered spot, the point of the sight
lod. and the distant object which It Is
wanted t5 reach liae to brought In
the .same line of sight.
There is also a iear screw arrange
ment by which the mirror can bo
moved to th'j right or left without
disturbing the sighting, so as to fol
low the nppaient motion of the sun.
A shutter Is so placed that It Inter
cepts! the deflection from the mirror
which is operated by a key at th
bottom of the mirror.
The operator, by depressing the key.
moves the mirror, and so permits the
Hash of the light to be reflected. A
short depression reflects a short flash,
and 11 long depiesslon a longer flash
This enables the Moise alphabet to be
used the ordinary dot and dash sys
tem of the telegraphic instrument.
The distance which these sun flashes
will travel Is hardly ciedlble. The rec
ord was made by Captain Y. A. Olass
foul, of the Pulled States Army Sig
naling corps, who. In some experiments
In 'Western Ameilca, succeeded in
opening up and maintaining communi
cation between Mount Kllen. Ctali
and Mount Pncomiialigie. Colorado
11 hundred and eighty-three miles 1
apart, lie used an eight Inch mlrrot
Tho larger the mlrroi the farther it
Is possible to flash. Tho oullnaiy Kut
llsh service pattern Is live lm lies in
ulameter.
It is only In very lc.ir nunsliliiy
country that long distanced can be
covered, in Knglnnd It would prob
ably be Impossible to send a msssnge
more than twenty miles, save under
uiuistial conditions. Our climate makes
the heliograph ronipaintlvely useless
here.
Whim It Is lequlred to bend a mes
sage to a pi. ue in such a direction
that the operator stands with the .sun
behind him, a duplex mirror has to be
used, so that lh sun's rays are caught
on one glass and sent b.icl: to the
other. This Involves careful adjust
ment, and is more complicated than
when the sun Is iu front.
GETTING EVEN WITH SPOONEK.
The Brilliant Statesman's Experi
ence with Two Men nnd n Bible.
From the Saturd. v r.ieninc I'.i.t
Henator John c. Spooner. of Wiscon
sin, when a young man, was attorney
for two men charged with stealing.
Tho ptlsoneis stated that they had
been stiolllng along the river hank
when they espied a boat, nnd for a
llttlo amusement Jumped In and towed
out Into the stream. The owner or the
boat saw them nnd hunlerl for a cou
ntable, who arrested them as soon as
they returned.
There had been taken from tho men
a well-woin Blhlo nnd j small. drawer.
On the fly-leaf of the Hlblo was tho
Inscription: "To my din ling boy, fioni
Mother."
Tho dial was held the next day and
the fiituro senator made a brilliant
speech tu tho Juty. He exhibited th'.
Blhlo and pointed to the Inset Iptlon,
and without leaving their seuts the
Jury icndeied a veidlct of ".Vol
gullly."
After the tt it) 1 the young men gavo
the lawyer fifty dollars. "Hoys," said
Mr. Hpooner, as they wero about to
separate. "1 nm curious to know why
you cuny that lilhle and the empty
drawer." Then tho f-enator HMenPd
with astonishment to the hlstoiy of his
clients.

&f
bacillus which appears in the border of this article. In the ten years or
more since the Russian grip first invaded this country, it has proved fatal
to hundreds of thousands of people. 1'rom 1889 to the date of the pres
ent epidemic, it is said that in New York State nlonc more than 52,000
deaths have been canted by grip. The present epidemic seems to be more
disastrous in its results and even more wide spread than that which intro
duced the disease to this country and added n new word to the popular
vocabulary. "What is grip?' people asked when the lerm first came
into use. It took little time for the public to realize that this disease
was more fatal than small-pox and more to be dreaded by reason of its after
consequences. Small-pox scars the skin, but leaves the body strong.
Grip leaves no outward scars, but so undermines the physical strength
that it leaves the system a prey to any chance disease. It commonly
results in chronic debility and frequently is followed by insanity.
The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will not only result
in a quick cure of grip, but will generally prevent the disastrous after
effects which are often more to be dreaded than the disease itself,
painful as that is. Persons suffering from grip need to build up
the body and fortify it against the after consequences of this peculiar
malady. This can be effectually done by the use of "Golden Medical
Discovery." It restores the vigor and vitality of the body gives new
blood and new life.
'Last spritiR I had a severe attack of I,a C.rippe," writes Miss Kncy M. Van Wey,
of Mitchellcrcek, Tioga Co., Penfi'a," and was under treatment of one of the best
physicians in this part of the country from March until iu July, and although greatly
benefited liv his treatment yet I wjs left in a miserable condition. Xcrtous prostra
tion seemed to be the leadin;; trouble; was cry despondent; would avwikc. mornings
with a dull, heavy pain over my eyes; had bilious headache a great share of the time;
great distress after eating; stomach would bloat and I was very weak. The least
exertion would completely tire me out. I was advised to try T)r.

will be acceptablo to thuiu. Senator
I'lntt today oNpressed tho opinion that
A great many people will be interested in seeincr the
change for the better that I bought half-a-dozen bottles more three of ' Golden Med
ical discovery and three of ' Favorite Prescription.' I can truly say that I feel bet
ter than in five years before. One by one my symptoms gradually disappeared. No
more weakness, despondency, nor blues. Am well and happy, and I truly thank God
that Dr. Tierce has been permitted to live to prepare anct send out such valuable
medicines for therelief of suffering humanity. I would say to all sufferers, 'Write
to the World's Dispensary Medical Association, then eive for. Wercc's medicine a
thorough trial, and it is my sincere belief that you will just as sure get your health as
that day follows night."
The source of all physical strength is food, which after digestion is
converted into nutrition and in the form of blood Incomes the sustenance
of the body. When disease attacks the stomach or other organs of diges
tion and nutrition, or when the stomach is "weak," as it is after an attack
of disease like the grip, the whole body is weak because of lack of nutri
tion. The only way to gain strength is by nourishing the body, and the
only way to nourish the body is to enable the assimilation of food by
strengthening the "weak " stomach and curing the diseases of the stomach
and digestive and nutritive tracts. This is perfectly accomplished by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It does not make strength, no medi
cine can do that, because all strength is made from food properly digested
and assimilated. It is by enabling the perfect digestion and asimilation
of food that "Golden Medical Discovery " restores physical strength and
sound health. No matter what organ is affected by disease through
stomach weakness and lack of nutrition, whether heart, lungs, kidneys,
liver, or any other organ, Di. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery may be

had catarrh for several years, then took Grip, and had hemorrhage from the lungs.
1 had the best medical attention, hut only to bring partial relief. I got up for a few
months, but had more hemorrhages. I look Dr. K 'a Discovery (twenty-five or
thirty liottles), but in a few months I had more spells of bleeding. I wrote to Dr.
Pierce and rccciwd directions what kind of medicine to use; I commenced taking his
' Golden Medical Discover) ' and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Kemedy. I had only taken one
bottle when I could ice I was improving. I used three bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, and fic bottles of the 'Discovery.' I have been able to do any kind of
labor for more than twelve months. Well, 1 just simply owe my life to the World's
Dispensary Medical Association."
