GREELY ON SIGNALS

Changes In Methods of Modorn Wars

Movements of Troops.
New York, Jan. 12. In an address
before the annual session of the mili
tary service Institution at Governors
island, Brigadier Oeneral A. W. Oree
ly, chief signal officer of the army, says
that warfare In future must cover the
control of mailt, the telegraph lines,
balloons and visual signalling-.
General Greely had comments to
make upon the preparedness of other
nations In renpect to this branch of the
service, declaring that the United
States baa led them. Germany, he
said, has been quick to take advantage
of our experience, reorganising her
signal service after the civil war and
the Spanish-American war. .
As to Great Britain, General Greely
pointed out that her service Is badly
defective, although Lord Wotsely has
repeatedly urged bis country to re-
organise It
The Japanese, he said, have conduct
ed their operations with a skill hitherto
unsurpassed In telegraphing and bal
looning. General Greely gave the In
terestlng Information that not once
was Oeneral Kurold under Are In mak
ing his celebrated flanking movements,
and that so perfect were his telegraph
lines that only once was a station with
headquarters lost and then only for
short time. He also praised the Jap
anrse censorship.
"The change In the conditions of
modern warfare," be concluded, "will
henceforth Involve deeper formations,
wider extended fronts, and enlarged
areas of field operations.'

Another Intercwtlug statement which
the second duke made to General WU
son, who writes to the Cornhlll, was
that when his father wa. assigned te
the command of an expedition to be
sent out against the city of Washing
ton and New Orleans In 1814 he de
clined the command chiefly on the
ground that he would not fight against
Washington's countrymen. And when

Romaa UamaaSa.
The wealthy goruinudu of Uowe cher
lshed a strong partiality for song birds.
Both Horace aud Martial refer with
approval to ronxt thrush, and Ovid
recommends "a crown of thrushes" as
a lover's present to bis mistress.
Thrushes' breasts were one of the In
gredients of the celebrated Apiclan
dish, "Patina apli-luna," which also In
cluded becra floon, mushrooms, sow's
udder, fmh and chickens, rivaling the
heterogeneous contents of a gypsy's
"pot hu feu."
Horace relates that the sons of Ac
tiiiH, to stimulate their appetite for
dinner, lunched on "nightingales of
monstrous price," anil Vnrro tells us
of the aviary of Lucullns, which was
aIho a "sallc ii mnnger," so that the
epicure gratified bin ears and his palate
simultaneously, feasting upon the deli
cate warblers whose congeners, uneon
scIouh of their coming doom, were dis
coursing meanwhile the most exquisite

Pea Dowa aa Feather.
Adulteration laws were quite as nec
essary in tho good old days as in the
sophisticated twentieth century. Even
the adulteration of feather beds and
bolsters had to be provided against
Oct 14. 141)5, la the date of a statute
prohibiting the sale In English fairs
or market, ot these articles or of pil
lows, "except they be stuffed with one
manner of feathers." It expressly de
nounced the ime of such "unlawful and
corrupt stuffs" ns "scalded feathers, or
fen down." The last substance Is the
same as cotton grass and was evident
ly In great demand as a substitute In
bed stuffing. In the eighteenth cen
tury again there were complaint,
against people who bought fen down
at a halfpenny a pound and sold It
among feathers at sixpence.
