At times they came close together; but at other times, as, for instance, when I was semaphoring, they were very far apart.

-++ (2) THE TWO-ARM SEMAPHORE CODE.

This was, of course, a semaphore by means of which visual signals were made.

I could not but think of the contrast in that same building, even as late as 1845, when the clumsy semaphore was still in use, and but a single line of electric wire, an experimental one to Rouen, was in existence in France....

"I do not find that Professor Henry anywhere makes a claim which trenches upon your claim of first using the electro-magnet for writing or printing at a distancethe telegraph as distinguished from the semaphore.

He states that the magnetic action of 'a current from a trough composed of many pairs is at least not sensibly diminished by passing through a long wire,' and he incidentally noted the bearing of this fact upon the project of an electro-magnetic telegraph [semaphore?].

Set but one foot within that holy ground and on thy head" Like a semaphore the left arm dropped, and the right arm, with the forefinger pointed, shot out at President Ham.

[Illustration: THE "LIGHTHOUSE" OF THE RAIL The switchman's house (on the left), commanding a view of the railroad yard, from which the switches of the complicated system are worked and the semaphore signals operated.

Here are the offices, and the spacious abodes of the lords commissioners of the admiralty, together with a handsome hall, &c. On the roof of the building is a Semaphore telegraph, which communicates orders by signal to the principal ports of the empire.

A thunderous tremolo, dominating the distant band music, thrilled on the still air, and the extended arm of the station semaphore with its two dangling lanterns wagged twice.

When a vessel was seen entering the Golden Gate, the black arms of the semaphore on top of the building were raised in varying positions indicating to the watching town below, where every one knew the signals, whether it was a bark, a brig, a steamer or other kind of craft.

The edifice is surmounted by a spherical cupola that serves as a base to a semaphore provided with masts and rigging.

Ten minutes' hurried walking brought them to the cliffs, and standing boldly on the verge she enacted, to the great admiration of a small crowd, the part of a human semaphore.

With knees on the shake, and arms shrinking, He scrambles about on the slippery floor, Like a toper at large, or a mad semaphore, Half wishing he hadn't gone rinking.

Once he has mastered the mysteries of the Semaphore and Morse codes, the most laborious part of his education is over.

Had they been easily discouraged we might still be dependent upon the semaphore and the pony express for the transmission of news.

A semaphore is frequently substituted for the wig-wag flags both on land and on sea.

The semaphore as a means of communication was extensively used on land commercially as well as by the army.

A regular semaphore telegraph system, working in relays over considerable distances was in operation in France a century ago.

Other semaphore telegraphs were developed in England.

He was told that the semaphore was all that was required for communication.

Certainly a horse would have been quite visible, but there was no hint of guns, except a semaphore which announced it was forbidden to pass that way, as the battery was firing.
