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?

signaling disk in order to inter
. cept the Hash.
f Kor signaling with two mirrors
the apparatus is properly ad
justed and the station mirror is
' turned until the retlection of the
distant station is brought acurate,
ly in line with or is covered by
* the unsilvered spot and therellec
tion of the disk. 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. /

SEMI-VV
5TER, S. C./WEDNE
The dot is represeted by a momentary
exposition of the Hash,
and the duration of this expostion
constitutes the "unit ot time.'"
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.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
111., makes the statement,
that she caught cold, which settled
on her lungs ; she was treated
for a month by her familv Dhvsi
cian, but grew worse. He told
her she was a hopeless victim of
consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist
suggested Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to herdebght
found herself benefitted from
first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles,found
herself sound and well; now does,
her own housework, and is as
well as she ever was.?Free trial

A Convincing Answer.
"I hobbled into Mr. Rlackmon's drufl
store one evening," says Wesley Nelson,
of Mam i lion, t?a., "and he asked
me to try < thamberlain's Pain Balm
for rheumatism with which 1 had suffered
for a long time. I told him I had
no faith in any medicine as they all
failed. He said: 'Well if ChamberIain's
Pain Balm does not help you
you need not pay for it.' I took a bottle
of it home and used it according
to the directions and in one week I
was cured, and have not since been
troubled with rheumatism." Sold by

Questions on life of Washing
ton askeil by teacher and an
I swered by pupil^in concert.
Wo were sorry Ao see so t#w of
the parents present. Parents
f manifest too little interest in the
, school life of their children. They
' should show the teacher and
pupils by their presence, at least
on occasions like this, that they
are interested in the work they
, are doing. The teacher has a
, great work, and an arduous one,
i to do for the children. 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. And if pleased with
! what thev see and hf?ar
speak a word of encouragement
to the (oftentimes overwoiked)
' teacher. V.
NTO IIY OF A NI.AVE.
\ To be bound hand and foot for
v years by the chains of disease is
. the worst form of slavery. George
D. Williams ot Manchester, Mich,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife had
been so helpless for five years
, that she could not turn over in
. bed alone. After using two bot7
ties of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able
to do her own work." This supreme
remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleept
liness, melancholy, headache,
>. backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working
^ medicine is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every
" bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cts.

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
