INVENTION AND DISCOVERY. A New York newspaper has been making some experiments in signalling shipsat night, which, if as successful as it is claimed to be, will be of thegreatest service to sailors for all time to come. Ships have a regular way of talking to one another, by means of flagsarranged in certain ways. This form of signalling is comprehended by all sailors. It is a universallanguage, and no matter from what country or in what seas ships may besailing, the language of the flags makes ...it possible for them to beunderstood. There has been one difficulty with the flag-signals, and that has beenthat they were useless at night. When it became too dark for the flags tobe seen, sailors had no other means of communication. The New York paper claims to have overcome this difficulty. In saying that ships have no means of communicating with each other, itmust not be forgotten that they can use lights and send certain messageswith them. But the flag system enables them to say exactly what they wishto, while through the lights they can only show where they are, and callfor help in case of accident.
