HOW

Age of Marine Signaling—How It Was

Done Centuries Ago -- Its Progress

Through the Ages ~ The “Wig. Wag” System—An International Code, *~

Marine signaling is at least 25 cen- Amorg the Greeks and Ro-

As

they used no firearms there was no

smoke to interfere, and the flashes of

sunlight could be easily read. In this

day it coulki not be done, for whole

anwar of warships are sometimes | enveloped in smoke. Howe yer, smoke- | less powder may in a few years so alter

make some similar

syster. possible in battle.

The use of firearms introduced a new mode of signaling only as regards sig- nals of distress, and as a manner of saluting other nations. Inactual battle the cannon are useless as signals, be- cause each faction is firing indiscrimin- ately, and the number of guns to be fired as signals lose their identity. Any

‘ign vessel of war entering a harbor of another country with which it is at peace hoists the fag of that country at the fore truck and fires a salute of 21 guns, which salute is returned with the same number of guns. A vessel in dis- tress, ifin daytime, fires a gun continu ously until some answer is had from some other vessel, if there is one in hearing distance.

‘The semaphore has been very success- ful for short distances. This is an ob- long ball, about 2 feet in diameter, which is inanipulated on a flagstaff or hoisted by aline. It is used almost ex clusiyely on vessels acting in squadrons, if the fiagship wishes to pass an order the balls are raised to certain elevations on the staff. which carry certain mean- ings, Sunpose the order is ‘tup anchor,” hoist oue ball at half mast, and let it remain until all the other vessels ans- wer ‘all right,” or, perhaps, one ball at the masthead and one half-mast might mean anchor,” and so on three, four or five balls conld be manipulated in certain combinations to mean any general order in the tactics of field man-

co nditions as to

for

nore or

ebay up

envering. For short distances the sem aphore is very successful and is also used among merchant vessels, as well

as men of-war.

The principal signal for short distan- ces is the ‘‘wig-wag,” which is used, not for general maneuver, as the semaphore, but for any and al] messages that have to be e xplaine “din detail. The ‘“‘wig- wag’ is made by a person standing erect wich a small flag in each hand, which he waves in certain combination for certain letters. For instance, if both arms were held erect over th» head and brought down in a circular motion to the side, eacn flag would describe a semicircle aud a letter ‘‘o” would be de- scribed,

Hold the left flag out horizontally from the body and describe a semicircle with the right flag, then the right flag out and circle with the left, and so on, combining motions until every letter in the alphabet is represented by a motion In all the navies of the world the small boys taken as apprentices are trained as signal boys, not only for the *‘wig-wag,” but all other modes,

The flag system is the most universal and satisfactory of all codes, both nationally and internationally. The dif- ference between the ‘‘wig-wag” and the flag system is the ‘‘wig-wag’”’ repre- sents the letters themselves, but the large flags represent not only words, but sentences. These are recorded in a book which every vessel has, and by refer- ring to the number in the book that the flags represent, the message is interpret- ed. When targe flags are used they are hoisted to the masthead by an ordinary halyard, to which the flags are fastened with the units flag of the desired num ber at the bottom, tens next, and so on. Long triangular shaped flags (pennants, properly called), of different colors and combinations of colors make the num- bers. This is easy, as only nine digits are used (the zero being excluded), and one flag over another can give any num- ber wanted. Each nation has its own combination of numbers, so that they can signal among themselves, while others can see and not understand.

Then there is an international code by which any two nations may communi- eate, inasmuch as figures are the same in all nations, and thonga they might not understand one word in common, they can interpret the flag numbers.

Every vessel that floats, whether mer- chantman or man-of-war, has a number, which is recorded in the international list of vessels, which gives the name of the owner, master, or port or country, to which it belongs. Vessels passing at sea always exchange numbers as a sa- lute, the same as we exchange saluts- tions with persons on the street, whe- ther strangers or friends. The flag of the country from which the vessel hails is hoisted astern, and if a merchantman meet a man-of-war at sea she dips her

country’s flag in honor to the other country, which, of course, is answered

in a similar manner, and for the mer- chantman not to dip is an insult. Goy- ernment vessels are always distinguished from other vessels by the long, narrow pennant flying from the mainimast. There are many flag signals that every- one knows, and they are universal, even among savage tribes, as if these colors were ordained to represent § certain things. .They are the white flag of peace; the black flag, vo mercy; red fing, danger; vellow flag, sickness. For a national flag to fly is to mean either a holiday or public prosperity, and that same flag at half-mast is to be in mourn- ing: afurled banner trailing is a dis- grace. There are other signals known internationally, as the national flag

hoisted bottom siae =pward means dis tress, and for the flag to be tiedina

knot means mutiny and sometimes trea- son.—Hartford Post. ———--<9-o@

TURNED THE JOKE

A Ventriicquist Whe Was the Cai

A ventriloquist bad great fan the other night o 1 the Sixth avenue elevated train, and at the same tiine re a train ‘guard 32 ds inger of being attacked by a score of indignant prssengers. Then he was warned that he had better leave the car,

It waa 4 rainy night and the train wae

crowded with passengers going down- town. Inthe rear car every seat was taken when the train left the Ninety- third street station in Columbus Avenue. In one of the rear seats was & person who appeared to be enjoying a calm sleep.

Just as the train was approaching the Seventy-second street station a voice at the forward door cried out:

“Fifty ninth street —— change cars for Ninth avenue.”

The voice was clear and resonant. Everyone in the car heard it, an un- usual thing on elevated trains, as every- one knows. A dozen passengers who thought they had been carried beyond their stations at Seventy second and Sixty sixth streets hurried toward the door, and as many more who wanted to change cars at Fifty-ninih street joined in the forward movement. Passengers for Seventy-second and Sixty-sixth streets were angry because they be- lieved they would have to go back in the rain.

As the head of the procession reached the door the train guard poked in his head and called:

“Seventy second street.”

The train halted with a jerk which threw a half dozen passengers off their feet. There was a struggle at the door between those who wanted to get oif the train and those who didn't, and by the time the train moved forward there were a dozen passengers angry enough to assault the conductor.

“What in thunder do you mean by this performance?” demanded one of them, as he approached the conductor. “Wht did you call out Fifty-ninth strect when the train was at Seventy- second?”

“But I didn't,” said the train guard.

“Yes you did,” shouted the angry passengers in a chorus, and one big man put himself in a position to attack the gnard.

“But I know he didn't,” piped a shrill! voice just under the roof of the car.

Everyone looked up in astonishment and the aniazement was increased when avoice which seemed to come from beneath the car floor said, soothing]:

“Calm yourselves, gentlemen: calm yourselves. I called out the station.”

The passengers, recognizing the situa- lion, retreated to their seats and began looking aronud. Then suspicion began to fall upon the sleepy man in the rear corner. A big man—the one who want- ed to fight the train guard—went over to him and said:

“That was a fine joke. but don't you think you had better get offat the next station?

The sleepy man left the car at Fifty- ninth street and took another train down town.—New York Herald.

BOOTS HAVE HAD 1D THEIR DAY. .

Trade Affected by the Suc Increased Wear of Shoes by Americans,

The diminished use of bocts is a mat- ter of concern to the manufacturers of them and to the producers of heavy leather and heavy calf skins, says tho Shoe and Leather Reporter. Twenty years ago the calf boot industry was a Jeading one in New England. Whole towns were studded with factories which produced calf boots exciusively. For a decade the sale has been gradually falling off. and to-day it is of hardly any importance. A few manufacturers of shoes include boots as a specialty, but the demand is too light to amount to much. When calf boots were more in yogne ma:ufacturers consulted the partialities of the cowboys, to whom price was a secondary consideraticn. ‘The legs were frequently corded with silk stitching. The star and crescent and other fanciful ornamentations were inlaid on the legs of the boots; thera were high heels and the boots were striking specimens of mechanical art. The soles were inlaid with copper, zine

and brass * nails. The cowboys no longer pay $15 or $20 for a pair of boots. They want substance instead of show. But

they were not the only wearers of calf boots. They were extensively worn, Many men prefer them to day, though the number is growing less. The old- fashioned stoga boots were formerly soll in large quantities; they are weil- nigh obsolete. There followed 4 demand for a lighter and more stylish articie. A kip boot of lighter texture was pro- duced, about equal in appearance to the best calf beot, but this, too, has fallen somewhat into disuse, and the sales this season are scarcely over one-half the usualamount. Wherethere were twenty factories producing boots exclusively there is now notone. Even the farmers are using heavy shoes instead of boots, and if it becomes a necessity to wear ong legged boots they buy ru bers
