'When we eend what the airmen . . write about their experieecos during the preeent war, we learn that the chief purpose of most of their flights not to drop bombs on- the enemy, but rather to locate the enemy's ar- tillery and to aid their own twittery in directing their fire. The itirman is Often sent up at the order of the com- mander of a battery to ascertain whether his guns aro oeershooting the mark, do not reach, or are too far to right or left, It is imperative that he be able to communicate his • information almost instantaneously, and sonie very Ingenious methodof transmitting it to the earth have been devised, Telephone systems are good for an- chored balloous, but are out of the questien for aeroplanes. or Zeppelins. Wireless telegraphy has so many dif- ficulties and dangers as to prove quite impractical. The French aro using a. very ingen- ious method of signalling by means of soot cloude. An apparatus filled with lampblack rests near the hand of the airman, and when. Ile presses a lever some of this soot passes down a. pipe and is discharged into the air in a black' cloud. This pipe is' so delicately arranged that the Mends may be small or large. The operator caw spell out the Morse telegraphic code in the little clouds and they can be read from earth. The Germans have adopted what they consider a far more practical mode of communication. Prof. Don- ath has invented a system of signal mirrors, lighted by a very strong lamp, which permits the airman to send his messages and also to receive instructions in the daytime as well as at night. The appartus is so regu- lated that the operator may send a long or short flash, thus utilizing the Morse code or any other code which may have been agreed upon. • The light in the little lamp of this apparatus has a flash 01 10,000 candle- • power, and, while it can be used for only forty or fifty hours Without re- newing the burner, this is enough for all practical 'purposes. The power .for the light comes from a Special seven -celled battery, weigbing only eight pounds; ineluding the metallic covering. When a message is to be sent the Operator directs a telescope over the reflector to the desired point, Teen he presses on a button, the lamp lights, flashirig twig br short, accord - Ing to the pressure. The:officers-on the earth receive the -message,. and -may return a reply in the same way, being provided with • similar mirrors and lamps. By this method messages can be flashed not only at night And itt foggy weather, but also in the daytime, in clear weather. The temperature of the filament in the' lane is so high thee it sends out a ray of light almost as bright as sunlight,- and this is why the Wishes are visible even iit the ditytiMe. The signals can be read with the nalced eye foe. a distanee of four miles or more in the daytime, ane at niget for a dist/time of eight Mlles and' upwards. With a field - glass the signals may be ,distinguished for a ter greeter distance. When I1 I neeessary to send a writ- ten commuitication, such as a plan for a fortification as seen from the aero- plane, the priinitive method of drop- ping the sheat of paper tied to a stone has long been abandoned. The airman Is provided with a special bomb in which tee letter or plan is placed.

'When we eend what the airmen . . write about their experieecos during the preeent war, we learn that the chief purpose of most of their flights not to drop bombs on- the enemy, but rather to locate the enemy's ar- tillery and to aid their own twittery in directing their fire. The itirman is Often sent up at the order of the com- mander of a battery to ascertain whether his guns aro oeershooting the mark, do not reach, or are too far to right or left, It is imperative that he be able to communicate his • information almost instantaneously, and sonie very Ingenious methodof transmitting it to the earth have been devised, Telephone systems are good for an- chored balloous, but are out of the questien for aeroplanes. or Zeppelins. Wireless telegraphy has so many dif- ficulties and dangers as to prove quite impractical. The French aro using a. very ingen- ious method of signalling by means of soot cloude. An apparatus filled with lampblack rests near the hand of the airman, and when. Ile presses a lever some of this soot passes down a. pipe and is discharged into the air in a black' cloud. This pipe is' so delicately arranged that the Mends may be small or large. The operator caw spell out the Morse telegraphic code in the little clouds and they can be read from earth. The Germans have adopted what they consider a far more practical mode of communication. Prof. Don- ath has invented a system of signal mirrors, lighted by a very strong lamp, which permits the airman to send his messages and also to receive instructions in the daytime as well as at night. The appartus is so regu- lated that the operator may send a long or short flash, thus utilizing the Morse code or any other code which may have been agreed upon. • The light in the little lamp of this apparatus has a flash 01 10,000 candle- • power, and, while it can be used for only forty or fifty hours Without re- newing the burner, this is enough for all practical 'purposes. The power .for the light comes from a Special seven -celled battery, weigbing only eight pounds; ineluding the metallic covering. When a message is to be sent the Operator directs a telescope over the reflector to the desired point, Teen he presses on a button, the lamp lights, flashirig twig br short, accord - Ing to the pressure. The:officers-on the earth receive the -message,. and -may return a reply in the same way, being provided with • similar mirrors and lamps. By this method messages can be flashed not only at night And itt foggy weather, but also in the daytime, in clear weather. The temperature of the filament in the' lane is so high thee it sends out a ray of light almost as bright as sunlight,- and this is why the Wishes are visible even iit the ditytiMe. The signals can be read with the nalced eye foe. a distanee of four miles or more in the daytime, ane at niget for a dist/time of eight Mlles and' upwards. With a field - glass the signals may be ,distinguished for a ter greeter distance. When I1 I neeessary to send a writ- ten commuitication, such as a plan for a fortification as seen from the aero- plane, the priinitive method of drop- ping the sheat of paper tied to a stone has long been abandoned.
