Interesting Description ot An In struinent by which Much South African News is Now Transmitted. Washington, Feb. 24.?Briefly speaking, heliograplnng consists of in the reflection of flushes of light Irom one mirror to another, which can be done at long dis tances, using the Morse system of dots and dashes, as in telegraphy. The field heliograph equipment of the signal corps of the United States army consists of one sun mirror, one station mirror, a screen, a sighting rod, a screw driver, a mirror bar and two tri pods The sun mirror has an unsilvered spot at its center, the sta tion mirror a paper disk ; in other respects they are similar. The tangent screw attachment to the frame a fiords the means of revol ving the mirror about a horizontal axis. The support to the frame has a conical projection accurately turned to fit the socket of the mirror bar and grooved to receive the clamp spring. The screen is provided with a key, by which, in connection with the action of the spring, it is operated to reveal and cut oil* the Hash. The sighting rod is fitted to the socket of the mirror bar and is clamped in the same manner as the mirrors It carries at one end a movable disk, which, when turned d? wn, reveals the front sight. A piece of white paper is slipped into the disk to receive the '-shadow spot" and a slight puncture made thcrin coincident with the point of the front sight as a truide in adinatmunt The position of the son is the guide lor determining whether one or two mirrors should he used. When the sun is in front of the operator the sun mirror only is required. With the sun in the rear of him hoth mirrors should he used, although a single mirror may often he worked to advantage with the sun well hack ol the op erator. In the former case the rays of the sun are reflected Irom the sun mirror direct to the dis , taut station; in the latter they i are reflected from the sun mirror i to the station mirror, thence to i the distant observer. In the former case, when the apparatus is properly in position, , the mirror is moved by means of the slow motion screws until the shadow spot falls upon the disk 1 of the sighting rod. The flash is then visible to the distant observer. It is always necessary to | keep the "shadow spot1' in the i center of the disk while signaling. v The screen is attached to the tri?

Then a full llash f is thrown from the sun mirror i upon the station mirror so that the ''shadow spot" falls upon the center of the'paper disk. This makes the flashXisible at the (lis taitt station. / Signaling Xis effected by de pressingperiods of "itime r^UiMftfc jjcofJ$??pondioir :??; * < - y x . A. u $Jr\c' * '+"1* ^ \ Sigy-v .?..

The dash is represented by an ex position of the llash for a period of three "units of time." The range over which signaling may be effected by means of this instrument, under favorable atmospheric conditions, is limited only by the convexity of the earth. The square mirror is adopted in preference to the round, as con taining about, one fourth more re flection surface lor practically the same packing space. Signaling at moderate rango by night may be effected by moonlight ; also by the employment of artificial light. RGNARKARLE RESCUE.

If parents 4 want to know what is being done ! lor their children by the teacher in charge, let them go to headquarters, i. c., the school room? to find out.

V Constable's Experience Willi .lie Emory Itoys. Crap anil Pistol Shooting Prograss. I'he Stale. Greenville, February 24.?Tom Kmory, a young white man, was wrought to jail yesterday by Conitable W. 1J. Cox on the charge )f aggravated assault. It is u case if lighting and bullying all the way around, and about all the Emory family are in trouble. One iay lately Magistrate Yerdin's jonstable. H. W. Butler, and a companion went to the home of Houston Emory to arrest his son John on a warrant charging him with assault and battery, John laving whipped a neighbor who remarked that John had stolen watermelons from him last summer. John said it was not his day :o be arrested, and lus brother L'om said he had an idea of starting a graveyard and a constable would do as well as anything else to start with. John, Tom and hock Emory all showed light, when the nonstable fired one shot and retreated, which seems to have been i wise move, for all the Emory boys had Springfield rides, about is deadly weapon as anything ;xcept an unloaded pistol. Several shots were fired at a range of 10 yards and rapidly upwards. Warrants were taken for the three Emorys,and Mr W 11. C<-s was sent to make the arrest. The old man tried to run this constable oil', hut Mr. Cox stayed until he got Tom. The others were not at home. The use by the Emoiysof the Springtield rilles, the property of the State, tHSUed to tiie Man Id in (iuards, will add to the gravity ot the eases against them. A shouting, probably a killing occurred about a game ol cards near Montague on Wednesday night. LaFayette Foster was shot in the leftside by Hud Hunt, at the home of Furinan Alberson, on Mr. Charles Hill's place. The parties to the shooting are ne groes. (rambling has been very prevalent in the woods in that vicinity for several months, and during the Christinas holiday* Foster and Alhersm had a row On Wednesday night Foster and his brother Press went down t< whip Alberson, but instead tliey all got into a game and the consequent quarrel. Alter all the gamblers had gone to Alhertson'f house Foster and Hunt got into ;i fight, and it is said Foster was about to get in some work with ?i knife when Hunt shot at him three times, hitting him only once. Dr. B. F. Goodie!t, who wa* called to see Foster, was in tin city yesterday, and he announced that he did not think the negrt could live through the night Hunt, has not boon arrested, bill is at work near Montague. lit lately served a term on the cJiatr gang for shooting into n church.
