How 00001.01. 1V111te FIatltes Deapatalles 00 Gcae.•tri hailerTwentY Allies Away. The heliograph, Which is being, put to Snob effective u0e in South Arvin by both Briton and B or, is a modern adap- tation ds -tation of one of the oident forme of sig. nailing apparatus known to military 8010000, ileliographing, as the name implies, le eon -telegraphing, and General White's eignal men, in deepetcbing news trona sorely pressed Ladysmith aro using the same device, only in more perfected form, that the winked small boy with a bit of "looking glees" in hie grimy fiat employe to eared the attention at hle fellows morose the school room by flash- ing the 0nn in their eyes. The sending` apparatus oongiste of a mirrormounted on a trippod andhung on both. horizontal and.vertioal axis with adieeting aarewe admitting of minute obangee of plane. With tbie mirror the eon's rays are flashed for miles, direoted by pains taking adjustments into the field of vie. ion of a receiving telescope also tripod. mounted. The node is similar to that need in electric telegraphy. Flashes, long or short,represent dote and dashee, and the Morse or any other oode, inolud. ing ciphers, oan be readily used. The heliograph has been called the trump card of visual signalling, for it possesses the four cardinal military vir• tun—portability, rapidity, range and secrecy. The helograph is extremely portable, weighing with ite stand no more than a eoldier's rifle. It possesses a curious virtue of secrecy, beoaaee bo people stand. ing even at a very abort distance from the point on which ite rays are directed its signals are invisible. But this fact will chow how needful it is to have the sue rei'ieoted full on the distant station ; and to insure, this the heliograph has to follow the sun ea it travels through the sky. The two mews mentioned, one giving a vertical movement and the other a horizontal movement to the mirror, about its oentre, effeat this, and the screws can be manipulated by the signal. ler while in the aot of sending without interruption to the message. The range of the heliograph is enormous with a etroug sun and clear horizon, and ie therefore, admirably adapted to South Africa, In 1883-85 campaigns a helio- graph signal service extended north— Orange river to Molopole—a distance of 429 miles. One of the great virtues of the heliograph ie its ability to pierce haze. Col. Keyser, who was in 1880 with the besieged garrison at Kandahar, reported that he opened communication with the advanced guard of the relieving force, ander Sir F. Roberts at Robat, a distance of 48 miles, and communication were keptupfor several hours on a hazy day. Morris Council Meeting.
