SIGNALS ON LAND AND SEA.

Pearson's Weekly of the 29th December, 1894, says:

"Evidently we have not got at the bottom of the matter yet. In August, 1890, the C Manouvre Fleet signalled with searchlights to Colliers, 70 miles away . . . . The information comes from Mr. F. T. Jane, the Artist who was on board at the time."

According to the Astronomers, these vessels should have been 3,200 feet below the horizon, allowing for a height of 40 feet on the signalling vessel, and 26 feet on the Colliers!!!

Harper's Weekly of 20th October, 1894, contains particulars of an experiment made by the Signal Corps of the U.S. Army, with the Glassford flashlight or heliograph.

The signal stations were Mount Uncompahgre, in South Western Colorado, and Mount Ellen in Southern Utah; the former 14,418 feet above sea level, the latter 11,410 feet; the plateau lying between the two stations is 7,000 feet higher than the sea. According to the calculated rate of curvation of a spherical body of 25,000 miles in circumference, a straight line running at right angles with the perpendicular at the transmitting station, Mount Uncompahgre, would run as a tangent from the line of curvation so that in the distance of 183 miles, the curvation would place Mount Ellen downward from the tangent line, below the line of vision nearly 3¾ miles! And yet the receiving station was seen on a line with the eye from Mount Uncompahgre, on a line coincident with the "tangent" line!!!
