PRIMITIVE SIQNALING DURING THE WAR. To War Umes almost as much depends upon sig- naling ason fighiing. During the rebellion some of the most primitive forms of stgnailng were used. Cleits of wood were nailed one above another on tue trunks of tall trees on prominent: ints, for bg ms and sm vil piatforms were erected a tue upper brinces, concealed from view, ex- cept in une direction, a8 far as pos~ible. In these trees or in towe.s where trees were not conve- nient for the purpose, the signal men were “dy with flags and torchés, to send messages throu: the air, over the enemy's bead perhaps, without delay and silently. Te signs for jetters were the” same as in ‘eiegraphing. the dots and dashes being represented ‘by the waving of th flags oF torcues, A wave one way meant a dot; the other a dash, and cowbinaUlonsof certain d01s and dasues made letters, with which words were spelled ou , and transmitted from one station Yo another.

An old G rman work assem. bies some of these facts as to ancient sign.ling, ‘Tue Prophet Jeremiah was the chief signal officer of bis time. It was he who advised the children or Benjamin to light their signal fires. They then ‘naled bY meuus of fires burniag on hizh places, ‘This means of signal ng 1s the most primitive, and has been used tn uli agvs and by ail peuple. ‘Aga- memnon used signal Ores to communicate with his kings over mounta:ns and valleys 500 years B.«.

A row Of torches Was placed veuind a board fence at each station, and a board on which the letters and numbers were wr.tteu was provided as a key to the siznais. The board was marked off io squires, num. ered both ways, and in each square Was a letter. The letter “A,” for Instance, was in the Orst square, nuuavering either way. To signal “A” two torcues woud be shuwa, oue to right and oue tlett, meaning ne, oue. The letter “SN” would be the third squire trom the top aud the fourth from the side.
