The present war between tills country
nnd Spain Is credited with hastening
the equipment of Vnltcd States naval
vessels with a new signaling system.
The apparatus of the Telephotos
Company, of Buffalo, has been ap
proved by the Vnltcd States Navy De
partment, and several sets are tielng
made for American warships. The
telephotos Is considered the most rapid,
most powerful and effective night sig
nal system yet Invented. It consists of
u series of four double lanterns, light
ed by powerful groups of Incandescent
lamps, the four double lanterns being
hung vertically on strong wire cables,
the upper end of which can be rim tip
to a mast or yardarm, while the lower
end Is Intended to be fastened to the
deck of the vessel. The upper half of
each lamp Is white and has within It a
group of three lamps surrounded by
powerful magnifying lenses. The lower
half Is red, nnd hns four lamps, in or
der to innke the red beams the strong
er, which arc surrounded by heavy red
lenses.
The carefully Insulated cable con
nects the lamps nnd passes from the
lower one to the deck or bridge, where
a keyboard enables the operator to spell
out the code signals about a« rapidly as
a typewriter Is manipulated, nnd very
much In the same manner. The key
board Is arranged on a standard nnd
Inclosed like a binnacle, the operator
standing In front of It while manipu
lating the keys. By n simple automatic
arrangement each key, as depressed,
lights a combination of the four red
nnd the four w hite lights, making a let
ter or a numlter, according to the code
of signals. All of these operations nre
automatic and the combination Is made
by one touch of the key. Another fea
ture of the keyboard Is that when one
letter Is down all the other keys are
locked so thnt another cannot be acci
dentally pushed down and confuse the
signals.
Any key pressed down can be turned
one-quarter way around, like a screw,
which motion locks It In place and
leaves the signal burning In ease It Is
desired to use It as a standing signal
for an order In the secret naval code.
Thus the keyboard cun be used to tele
graph ordinary Instructions by the usu
al letters, to send a cipher dispatch or
special code orders. Notwithstanding
all this apparent complication, the key
board Is compact and Its mechanism so
simple that It cannot be readily dis
turbed or gotten out of order.

How dear to this heart are the old-fash

When fond recollection presents them

In fancy 1 see the old wardrvb.s and

Which held the loved gowns that in girl

The wide spreading mohair, the silk that
hung by it;
The straw-colored satin with trimmings

The ruffled foulard, the pink organdie

But, oh, for the pocket that hung In

The old-fashioned pocket, the obsolete
pocket.
The praiseworthy pocket that hung In
each gown.
That dear, roomy pocket I’d hall as a
treasure
Could I but behold It in gowns of to-day;
I’d bud it the source of an exquisite pleas

But all my modistes sternly answer me
“Nay!”

The praiseworthy pocket that hung in

A gown with a pocket! How fondly f t

Each day ere I'd don it I'd brush it with
care;
Not a full Paris costume could make me

Though trimmed with the laces an em

But 1 have no hope, for the fashion is

For many years It has been known
that the use of oil on troubled waters
gr»»atly calms them. R«»cently some
railway companies have experimented
with It for the purpose of laying dust,
which It Is claimed that It will do for a
very long time, and now Its value In
Improving country roads Is forcibly a s
serted by J. G. Winger, of Grand Val
ley, Pa. This gentleman says that he
has devoted hls whok* life, since the
discovery of oil, to Its development, and
has made a study of the great blessing
that It gives to man. and believes that
the time Is not far In the future when
dusty aud muddy roads will be condi
tions unknown, aud that crude oil will
bring this reform about. The experi
ence on which he principally hose« hls
opinion be descrllx-d In a K t e r to the
Oil City Derrick:
“In the winter of lSbt, near Grand

solution of the greatest public question
has a neeleua on which to rest a hop*»?
“Oil and earth have an affinity for
each other, and. when united In proper
proportions on a roadbed, are for a long
time Inseparable. The oil oh the road
bed prevents the earth from rising in
dust, and excludes water, and hence
the Impossibility of mud. It looks rea
sonable that an oil-treated road, prop
erly shaped, will remain raudlees; when
snow falls, even ip small quantities, It
will give good sleighing, and when the
snow goes In the spring It wlU be ready
