PECULIAR POISONS.
OIil IN TUB HUMAN BODV.
The IlpKiilt of Imperfect Dluentlon of
l > 'ood.
Kvcry living thing , plant or animal , con
tains within itself the germs ot certain de
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of dls-
MSO and death ( called by scientists Pto
maines ) , are usually the result of imperfect
digestion of food ; the result of in digestion
or dyspepsia.
The stomach , from abuse , weakness , does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food , The result Is a heavy , sodden mass .
which ferments ( the first process of decay )
poisoning the blood , making It thin , weak ,
and lacking in red corpuscles ; ptflsonlng
the brain causing headaches and pain in the
eyes ,
Dad digestion irritates the heart , caus
ing palpitation and finally bringing on dls-
ease of this very Important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys , caus
ing BrtghtV disease and diabetes.
And this Is so because every organ , every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal , and weak diges
tion shows Itself not only in loss of appe
tite and flesh , but in weak nerves and mud *
dy complexion ,
The great English scientist. Huxley , said
the best start In life is a sound stomach
Weak stomachs fall to digest food prop
erly. btcauso they lack the proper quantity
of digestive acids ( lactic and hydrochloric ]
and peptogenlo products ; the most senslbli
remedy In all cases of Indigestion Is. to tak <
after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys >
pcpsla Tablets , because they supply jn t
pleasant , harmless form all the element !
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyapepsli
Tablets will euro every form of etomact
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They Increase flesh , insure pure blood
strong nerves , a bright eye and clear com1
ploxlon , because all these result only frou
wholesome food well digested.

SALVADOR IS NOT PLEASED
Opposition to Proponed ConRtltntlo
of United Stnten of Cen

MANAGUA , Nicaragua , Sept. G. ( Correspondence
spondenco of tbo Associated Press. ) Th
delegates who are daily holding meetings a
this ulaco for the purpose of deciding upo :
the articles of the constitution to bo formu
lated for the proposed "United States o
Central America , " to be composed of tb
states of Salvador , Honduras and Nicaragua
have had several serious differences , tb
lepresentattves of Nicaragua and Hondura
voting In come Instances solidly , or near !
so , In opposition to the views of the dele
gates fiom Salvador. One condition was I
regard to the finances of the proposed fed
eral government. All the delegates con
ceded that the federal govrnment shoul
control the customs bouses and collect th
duties , but the Salvador delegates declare
that one-halt of the duties collected from
their states should bo returned , to Salvado
because that country imported as much o
more than Nicaragua and lion
duras combined. The conventlo ;
voted against this , howove
but the next day , as a disruption was ev :
dent from a protest published In the news
papers by the Salvadorean delegates , the
convention agreed , in order to smooth mat
ters over , that one-half the revenue col
lected by the federal government through
the custom bouses In each state should to
paid to that state. Salvador representatives
are evidently not satisfied with several arti
cles that were adopted over their votes
by the other delegates. The members of
the convention have declared themselves at
present the sola and supreme exponents of
the will of the states and people of Salva
dor , Honduras and Nicaragua , and , there
fore , Ignore the diet of the "Greater Repub
lic of Central America , " which they ap
pointed through the state governments ( they
were not really elected as they assert ) and
will not submit the constitution , nominally
formulated for the states and people , to
the people for approval or disapproval.
Many critics of the work of the convention
declare that when the presidents of the
states are ordered by the federal govern
ment , on Its organization In compliance
with the new constitution , to deliver to the
federal government the cannon , rifles and
munitions of war and soldiers In the vari
ous states there will be much opposition and
that some of the presidents will delay or
refuse altogether to comply with the order
and thus prevent the establishment of the
United Sates of Central America. It Is be
lieved the positions and oven lives of some
of the presidents of tbo Central American
|
countries depend solely upon the fact that
they vigilantly control , personally or through
J
paid satellites , all the arms , munitions of
war and soldiers In their respective states.

SLAVES OF THE DERVISHES
Fall of Omdurman Brings Liberty to Noted
Prisonan.
KARL NEUFELD AND SISTER GRIGOLIN
The Former n Captive for Ten , the
Lntter for Sixteen Vrnm Siiin-
Iilefl of ( he Klmllfa'n Power
lu the Sondnn.
When news of the capture of Omdurman
was flashed across the wires there came
with It two or three lines announcing the
liberation of a number of European prison
ers , among them Karl Neufeld and Sister
Theresa Grlcollnl. Behind this brief men
tion , relates the Chlcaco Tribune , lies a
story of the horrors of captivity In the
hands of the dervishes , narrow escapes from
execution , tortures , Indlcnltlcs and suffer-
Inc , which will flll volumes when the vic
tims reach tlie outer world end tell their
stories In detail.
'Neufeld was captured by the mahdl's
men In 1887 , and for eleven years has been
the unwilling white slave of a barbaric
ruler of one of the most fanatical people
on earth. Sister Grlgollnl of the Austrian
mission fell into the hands of the mahdl
In 18S2 , when Fathers Ohrwalder nnd Bc-
notnl , two laymen , and four sisters were
seized at the mission house In Delcn , live
days' Journey south of El-Obeld , which was
then being besieged by the inalull. When
all Is told of Ncufeld's hardships during his
captivity the world will no doubl wonder
how a human being could llvo through it
all and come out "unharmed , " as dispatches
report him to be.
In the ' 70s Neufeld was studying medlclno
at Lelpslc , and one day his adventuresome
spirit got him into a quarrel with a fellow-
student. A duel resulted , and Neufeld fled
the country to avoid arrest. Ho went to
Cairo , stayed there but a short time , and
then to moro effectually hldo himself made
for t'ho Interior. Ho landed at Assuan In
1S79 nnd for two years practiced medicine
there. When the Mahomed Achmed rising
occurred Neufeld's love of adventure
prompted him to Join the British troops.
His knowledge of thu people and their Ian
guago made him a valuable aid to the Brit
ish commander. Moreover , ho showed won
derful shrewdness in dealing with the na
lives , and his courage in action was un
doubted. When one day ho saved a whole
detachment of British troops by a clever
trick which put the enemy on the wrong
scent the camp rang with his praises , and
for this service he was appointed purveyor
to the army.
A UaiiReronn Mission.
In the spring of 18S7 Neufeld gathered to
gether a caravan of forty retainers and
announcing that ho was going on a trading
trip , started on a Journey Into the mahdl's
country. Many , however , doubted the an
nounced purpose of the little expedition ,
nnd rumors were soon afloat that Neufeld
had been sent to spy on the mahdl , and
that he was to attempt the rescue of Slatln
Pasha , then flvo years a capCIvo In the mah
di's hands. Arabian treachery was respon
slblo for the failure of the expedition and
for Neufeld's capture. One of his own men
played the traitor , and a body of howling
fanatics swooped down on the caravan on
morning while they were encamped near a
well. Noufcld's captors held him untl
March , 1S88 , when he was taken to Omdur
man nnd led before Khalifa Abdullah , the
mahdl's successor. The dervishes and otlic
tribes under the raahdl's rule , totally Ig
norant of European geography , and know
ing of but one whlto race their hated cne
rales , the English were wild In their ex
ultatlon over the capture of one they termec
"a great English pasha. " Neufeld wa
brought into the new capital under a stroni
guard , amid the hooting of thousands of
Arabs and blacks gathered along the route.
The khalifa looked upon the capture as
most important. Two Europeans previously
captured were ordered to the khalifa's
palace to examine papers found on Neu
feld's person and only with hard work did
they succeed in explaining to the fanatical
ruler that Neufeld was not an Englishman ,
but from another country In Europe. Had
Abdullah been in a non-believing mood that
day Neufeld would not have seen another
sunrise. As It was , the khalifa consoled I
hlmselt and his followers with a long
harangue on the importance of the capture
in view of the serious anti-mahdlst pur
pose of Neufeld's trip , which the lying
abdullah described in minute detail , much
to Neufeld's wonderment.
Noufeld's life had been saved temporarily
by the European translators , but he was
ordered thrown into the vllo prison at Om
durman and loaded down with chains. Dur
ing the night the khalifa apparently made
up his mind that the whlto man ought to
hang , whether an Englishman or not all
Whlto men were "Turks , " a titled applied to
all "unbelievers , " Orders were given that
the prisoner should bo hanged In the morn-
Ing. Neufeld received the news through the
beating of a huge drum close to his ears.
The populace were encouraged to heap in
dignities on tbo prisoner ; black slaves spat
at him as ho passed on the way Co the
scaffold. Neufeld did not flinch. The kha
lifa's Indecision delayed matters until noon ,
when It was announced the march to the
scaffold would be continued. The immense
crowds gathered to witness the execution
of the hated "Englishman" hooted and
yelled in wild delight ! as Neufeld stepped
fearlessly up and coolly bent his head to
receive the noose. At this moment a mes
senger from the khalifa ordered the execu
tion stopped and then it developed tbo ex
ercises were arranged only to frighten the
prisoner.
Duly Hntcred an n Slave.
A few days later Neufeld , loaded down
with all the chains that could be fastened to
his body , was placed on a camel's back and
paraded through the streets of Omdurman
to give the populace another chance to hoot
and deride their captive , who was now duly
entered as one of the khalifa's white slaves.
The first four years of captivity wcro full '
of horrible suffering for the unfortunate
Prussian. The prison consisted of four
walls , inside of which were huddred 200 pris
oners , white and black and of both sexes.
In the center of this Inclosure stood a stone
hut , with heavily barred door and windows.
Into which fifty of the prisoners as many
as could be crowded In were forced each
night to better secure their safety and , In
cidentally inflict sufferings which would
more forcibly remind them that they wcro
captives of the mahdl's successor.
The sun beat down on the stone walls ol '
this hut during the day , and at night when
nearly all of the air was excluded by the
shutting of the door tbo heat , which the
walls gave forth made the breath-seeking ,
cursing mass' of humanity Inside almost
another "black bole , " like that of Calcutta.
Typhoid fever , dysentery and other ailments
assailed the miserable occupants of this
horror hut ; the floor swarmed with vermin ;
now and then a bowl of pain told of a scor
pion bite , or an agonized groan would tell .
of the death of a victim of the terrible heat ,
:
which produced nightly cases of apoplexy.
Live men and women slept side by side wltt
corpses and the death of one more only
called forth an exclamation of anger If the
dying one happened to fall on or roll toe
close ttt a neighbor.
All during Neufeld's four years In the -vile
*
prison the European slaves who were nol
in irons notably Slatlu Pasha and Pathei
Ohrwalder , who had gained many frlendi-
made every effort to secure bis release from
chains and the horrors of the stone but ,
The khalifa was obdurate , however ,
It was suggested that Neufeld might be utll- I
lied in making powder , of which the kha
lifa's army was In urgent need. This put the
matter in n new light and Neufeld's release
was ordered. The day after his release from
Uio prison Neufeld was sent with a strong
guard to Halfaleh In search of saltpeter and
In n month returned with enough to make
all the powder needed , He was given nn
Egyptian assistant and a powder factory was
established In a vacant mission house still
standing among the ruins of Khartotirn.
Slnco 1891 , up to his liberation , Neufeld
has , so far as known , continually worked
In this hut at the powder industry. A ball
and chain was attached to ono leg and ho
was told It would never be removed. So
far as known It was still forged to his leg
when Kitchener entered Omdurman at the
head of the triumphant Anglo-Egyptian
force.
Capture of Sister CirlRotlnl.
The story of the captivity of Sister The
resa Grlgolinl is even darker than that of
Neufeld.
She wan captured by the dervishes to
gether with three other sisters nnd Fathers
Ohrwalder and Blnoml and was not fortu
nate enough to escape , as did the two fath
ers and two of the sisters in 1892. The
capture ot Delen and the missionaries was
duo to the cowanllco of the captain ot a
company of Egyptian soldiers who were In
the village to protect it. The Egyptian re-
.fused ito show fight and there was no al
ternative but surrender , although the
mahdi's lieutenant had only fifty men ,
against the eighty soldiers In the village.
After being made prisoners the eight
whlto men nnd women were marched to El-
Obeld , where they found the mahdl In per
son superintending the siege against Said
Pasha. They arrived before the mahdl so
exhausted they could not speak. Insults
and Indignities indescribable were heaped
upon the llttlo group ot whites. A council
of the mahdl's advisers was held and the
fate of the captives discussed. Several
times the sentence of death came near be
ing pronounced , but it was finally decided
the captives were entitled to live , a Mos
lem law providing that priests who surren
der without resistance shall bo spared death.
The missionaries were called upon to
adopt the mahdl's faith , the penalty for
refusing bclnc death. They held a con
bultatlon and decided death to bo prefer
able. "Wo have chosen death , " they sent
word to the mahdl , but for some inexplica
ble reason the mahdl did not carry out his
threat.
Desert Horrors.
Soon afterward the sisters were seized
and distributed among the emirs ot the
khalifa's army. On Journeys hither nnd
thither with their emir masters these wo
men were forced to walk barefooted ever the
burning sand with their feet bleeding from
Innumerable thorn wounds. The torture of
the march was unspeakable. The emirs
took delight in beating their whlto women
slaves , insulted them nt every opportunity
and abused them most brutally. The sun
burned their faces until the skin peeled off
and when ono of tbo sisters fell in the road
from fatlguo she was strung up. by the feet
and the already bleeding soles beaten with
sticks until the feet became .swollen and
black. Through It all the sisters clung to
their faith nnd no 'throat could induce them
to abandon It.
Sister Orlgollnl , bleeding from a hundred
whip marks , succeeded ono night In escap
ing from her black master and made her way
to the mahdt's hut. She forced her way Into
his presence and , with tears running down
her face , protested against the cruel treat
ment the captives were receiving. The
mahdi's heart was touched at tbo sight of
the poor woman's wounds nnd ho ordered
the sisters released from the tyrannical
cmlrs.
After the death of Gordon and the fall
of Khartoum the prisoners were taken to
Omdurman , where their llfo was not so con
tinually beset with danger , although there
were times when death seemed near. Hlots
were of not Infrequent occurrence and Euro
peans were massacred by the dozens. Wo
men nnd children were speared right nnd
loft. No ono in sight was spared by the
fanatical dervishes.
Fathers Ohrwalder and Blnoml managed
> to escape Blnoml in 1888 , Father Ohrwalder
in 1892. Father Ohrwalder took two of the
sisters with him , thus leaving Sister Grlg
ollnl alone In captivity.
After sixteen years of this llfo Sister Grlg
ollnl is finally rescued and Neufeld's eleven
years of ball nnd chain are brought to a
close at the same time.
NOTED FEATSMN SIGNALING
ItemnrUnlilc ItofliiltN Achieved In the
Army nndavnl Service of the
I lilted Statov.
The means and methods of signaling are
in a large degree the same in naval use as
in campaigns we have carried on against !
hostile tribes In the wild west and in terri
torial and coast surveys ; so that the system
may bo equally well illustrated in either of
these Jidda.
The regular signal flag of these services ,
relates a writer in t'he Independent , can be
used effectively on hind , In clear weather ,
at stations as far as twenty-five miles apart
if sufllclcntly elevated.
The form of the Hag is square nnd either
black or red with a white square In the cen
ter , or whltto with n central square ot red.
They are made in three sizes , and two , four
and six feet square , to fit different distances.
In use the flag is first elevated directly
above the signal man's head ; motion "one'
consists of swinging the flag to the right )
and quite down to the ground ; in motion
"two" the flag is swung from above the
head down to the ground on the left. The
first motion signifies the dot ) and the second
the dash of the Morse telegraphic alphabet
When , in 1SC4 , General Sherman occupied
Atlanta , ho had left Allatooua his base o ,
supplies thirty-five miles behind. The
confederate General Hood quickly marched
his army on tbo place to cut off the daring
leader from his support ) . Before Sherman
learned of the movement Hood was so near
Allatoona that Sherman could not , he knew
go to Its assistance in tlmo. General Corse
with another division of the army , was a
Rome , fifty miles northwest ot Atlanta , ant
Captain Bachtel , chief ot Sherman's signs
corps , by great exertion reached a hill from
which he signaled to Corse by flag Sher
man's orders to move to the defense of the
endangered base.
Corse succeeded In getting to Allatoona
In tlmo wlt'h ono brigade , the remainder o
his army being stopped by the breaking
down of an engine. Hood's army soon ap
peared and was beaten off In its first attack
yet his force was so much the largest tba
it seemed necessary Corso should retire a
once to avoid being overwhelmed Just a
tbo critical moment something was seen to
move on Kenesaw mountain , eight
ccn miles away southward am
twenty miles north ot Atlanta. I
proved to bo a flag signal , telling tha
Sherman's force was thus far on Its way t
the rescue. This intelligence raised th
courage of the defenders of Allatoona an
Corso sent back tbo reply that ho held hi
own and would continue to hold It An
thus it proved. Sherman's force arrived in
tlmo to save the day ; the delayed troops o
Corse's division approached soon after an
Hood was obliged to retreat In haste into
the mountains to avoid being scooped up b ?
the union forces.
Torch iiud Flnahllght.
In the night the waving signals are mad
by torches , with similar movement , on
torch being placed at tbo feet ot the signal
man , eo that those at the other station ca
perceive more certainly the direction of th
movement of the "flying torch. "

signal , visible to an equal distance with the
.orcn. The main features of this are a hid
den light , as a lamp In a box , and its expo
sure by removal of a curtain or a slide for a
ongcr or shorter time , to signify dashes
and dots. This method hafl , probably , larger
use on sea than land. As will bo under
stood , any kind of light may bo used for
the purpose , from a tallow candle to in
candescent 'and arc electric lights.
In a clear night n candle flame can be
seen nearly a mlle and a half ; a light of
10-candle-power , flvo miles. A power of
100 candles which 18 the strength gener
ally used in the searchlights of English
war ships will , with the aid of its reflector ,
throw its beams perhaps eight miles in
clear weather , with readable-distinctness.
There was published about two years ago
the exploit of two English war vessels ,
which , lying on opposite sides of a high
promontory nine miles In width , held com
munication with each other by means ot
their searchlights , beams from which were
thrown upon the sky and read on the oppo
site sldo of the heights. With a search
light the message may be sent by sweeping
the beam across the sky , llko the movement
of the torch , or by an Intermitted beam In
a fixed direction.
Spakowsky's Hashing lantern , used by the
Danish army and navy , Is on inter
esting form of signal light on the
dot and dash system. It consists
of a closed box containing a small
spirit lamp , which In use continues lighted.
When signals are to bo made a stream of
petroleum , spray or vapor Is prlven by a
small bellows through a bolo in the sldo ot
the box Into the lamp flame , when this In
stantly blazes up a foot or more above the
box through an opening , remaining visible
as long as the petroleum blast continues.
Signals by this light are said to bo readable
at points thirteen miles distant and it has
been successfully used for a distance of four
tnllei in a heavy rain.
European Sleiiul * .
Another method of signaling invented by
Claude Chappo of Angers , Franco , Just be
fore the first French revolution , Is the sem
aphore. As made by its originator , it con
sisted of a long beam pivoted at the middle
to the side of a post near its top. The
beam had a wing-like attachment at each
end. All these parts could bo placed In
different angles to each other , making 193
different combinations , representing as
many numbers , read by means of a code
ot numbered diagrams. A line of these
mounted on towers not so far apart as to
render the angles interminable was con
structed from Lille to Paris and servrd to
bring the coed news ot the recapture of
tbo "Conde" from the Austrlans in the
same forenoon of the surrender.
The instrument was adopted and used
throughout Europe until superseded by the
telegraph which was introduced into
France by King Louis Philippe soon aftei
its successful UEO lu America In 1844.
In England several forms of the sema
phore have been used ; one requiring tuo
posts ( like a farmer's pasture barns ) be
tween which boards of various widths wcro
suspended at different heights Interchange
ably , each different combination having a
different meaning. In 1893 a form of sema
phore was ordered to bo used at the mast
head of vessels of the British navy , an Im
proved form being substituted for this In
1S9G. The system , however , is too clumsy
for use , except at limited distances for pe
culiar purposes.
A system ot night signaling which fur
nishes moro variety than any other Is that
by colored lights. These may be thrown

or colored rockets , or produced by burning
a suitable chemical composition near the
ground or deck of a vessel , but usually the
lights are common lamps in glass Inclo-
Eures of various colors. In some methods
a number oC the latter are attached to a
bar , which is run up to the necessary heighten
on ranst or rigging at sea or a tall building
or pole on laud.
Klcctrlc SlKimlN.
The Incandescent electric lamp Is very
convenient for this use , as green , red or
colorless light can be shown for dots and
dashes and other signs by means of a key
board on deck. Tbo objection to colored
lights in successive combinations for sig
nals is that they are confusing to the eye
nnd the alternations not quickly enough
detected ; besides , colored lights arc not
visible as far as the uncolored. In elab
orate experiments made in America and in
Germany it was found that a whlto or tin-
colored light of 29-candle-power was faintly
visible ten miles and one of 33-candle-power
was very plainly seen at that distance ,
while green light of 106-candle-power was
visible four miles only.
There is a now and very pleasing system
ot signaling by lights , which avoids the
objection to colored lights , as only plain
class is used , it Is called tbo Crandall
Electric Signal and consists of a monogram
of the entire alphabet In incandescent lamps ,
of which any letter can bo shown by itself
by merely pressing the key that opens the
special electric circuit for that letter , EO
that the message can bo spelled out by any
one who can read the language used. Of
course , when an enemy is in position to
read a message a cipher code is used In
the transmission , which has to bo inter
preted by that code before its meaning can
bo made out by any person , and all this
must bo arranged and understood by a
proper person or persons on each ot the
vessels which may find It necessary thus to
communicate , and similarly with military
bodies on land.
Each nation has ono or more codes of Its
own , which also have to bo changed at in
tervals , EO that if It has become too much
known through the imprudence or treachery
of these using It , or by the skill ot an ex
pert enemy , harm may not result by the
exposure ot conditions or ot plans.
In this Spanish war both colored lights
and combinations of ( lacs have been sent
up by halyards or pulleys attached to flying
kites or anchored captive balloons.
Sun Sl nnl > .
Thcro is ono other method of signaling
which surpasses all others in the distances
to which it can sometimes be used. It Is
the heliograph or sun-writer. This in its
simplest form is sometimes used by mis
chievous lads or lasses when they catch
tbo sunlight In a pocket mirror , or ono set
In a fan , and throw a beam ot light on ) a
distant wall.
In our territorial surveys and In the roll
itary campaigns against hostile Indians in
the west communication has been held be
twcen places very far apart by the helio
graph. This apparatus consists of a square
mirror with an unsllvered spot ut the cen
ter. The smallest mirror In general use
by our signal corps Is four Inches square ,
but those of three and a half , eight and
twelve Inches have been applied In ex
pcrlmcntal work , the larger ones for great
distances and misty atmosphere.
The mounting of the mirror Is a tripod
on which Is pivoted at the middle a revolv
ing bar. The mirror Is set up near one em
of this , while the other end carries a sight
ing rod , The process of signaling when the
sun Is In front Is simply by a series of long
and short exposures of tlio mirror or ob-

each.
Ecuratlons whichever ono works beat In
the conditions of tbo time , the mirror beam
saving first been directed to the proper
place by sighting ever the rod through the
unsllvered spot in the mirror. When the
sun Is not In front of the mirror , but at ono
sldo or bad : of It , two additional mirrors
are required , these being mounted on a bar
which crosses the first bar outside the sig
nal mirror. By these the rays are brought
upon the signal mirror , whatever the posi
tion of tbo sun.

Communication by heliograph has been
lield between two peaks In the Itocky moun
tains , 183 miles apart. The twelve-Inch
mirror was used on this occasion , the hello-
graph flash appearing llko a bright star to
the eye. Sometimes a screen Is erected to
receive the signal , as with a magic lan
tern. The circle within which a ( lash a
mlle away can bo seen Is sixteen or seven
teen yards In diameter , the area becoming
about twice as large at two miles , and
thus It continues doubling In extent with
each mile. The signals are read in dots
and dashes , as with the flash light.
At tbo time this great distance was
spanned by a mirror flash the atmosphere
was of unusual clearness. On another oc
casion of long-distance signaling while sur
veying , the corps had watched for the op
portunity nearly three months before It
came and they met with success though
the distance between the points this tlmo
was but little over 100 miles.
The quickest work which has been re
ported by the government was done in Ari
zona in August , 18SC , by Lieutenant A. M.
Fuller , U. S. A. , where a message of twenty-
seven words was sent by telegraph through
six stations over a distance of 300 miles and
a reply of twenty-five words received within
a period of two hours and twenty minutes.
During the same season messages aggre
gating 35,727 words were sent over territory
2,000 square mllra in area. The number of
stations was thirteen , the distance between
them varying from two and a half to forty
miles.
The range of the heliograph In a clear at
mosphere Is limited on this terrestrial sphern
only by the convexity of the earth , by which
a beam of light from the highest practicable
stations will bo Interrupted within about 200
miles ; unless , an in the instance of Lieu
tenant Fuller's land distance feat , thcro Is
some downward refraction of the beam of
light by the cirrus clouded stratum of the
atmosphere.
