F o rt N ia g a ra .I,a*t Saturday’s edition of the Illustrated

Buffalo Express contained a most excellent article from the pen of Lieut. Paul B . Ma­lone,18th Infantry of Fort Niagara,on “ Mil­itary Signaling.” This interesting conrae has for some time been conducted at FortNI agars, under the supervision of First-Lleut. Monroe McFarland, Adjutant 18th Infantry. The course includes instructions in helio- graphing, flagging and the use o f tbe torch at night. Telegraphy i* not ordinarily made part of the education of the soldier, as good telegraphers can be obtained by the Govern­ment at a moment’s notice In case they are needed. For the rough, impromptu work of tbe field, the heliograph replaces the k ey­board . The avticle also contains several fine illustrations of tbe Signal class in the act of sending signals from Lewiston Heights to Fort Niagara, and altogether is a very inter eating article on A rm y workings and we i *- gret very much the inability to publish the oomplete article. In the same edition of this paper also appears a leugthy article upon tbe target practice, the new targets and the de­partment Competition which will take place at Fort Niagara this year. Tbiaarticle isa l- so too long to appear tn tbe NlWB but below will be found extracts from it ;—

“ Companies E , H, C, fie A of the 18th U S , Infantry opened the target season a t Fort NI agara, N. Y . , on Tuesday, Ju ly 6th, under the provisions of the new Firing Regulations. Company A, from F o it Porter, are camped In the grove off the Rifle Range. So soon as Company A has finished its practice it w ill be marched bqok to Fort Ptorter and Com­pany G w ill procecedto Fort N ia g a r a .* * * *

A grout' disadvantage w as f* l* by some, due to the new sight whioh was placed on tn* magazine rifle last winter. No correction was made for drift,and tbe elevations are by no means accurate. The marksman Is there by forced to aim sometimes as much as two feet aw ay from hi* figure to make a hit. Good scores were spoiled before tbe point of aim oonld be found. Thia experimental work will be used by the Government as data for tbe correction of the sight.

The shells bave been* previously need and have been reloaded- A s a result, nearly 60 per cent, o f them crack during the discharge under the tremendous pressure developed by tbe new smokeless powder. This pressure ranges from 35,000 to 80,000 pounds per square Inch. The heads have been blown from a few catridgee and tbe fouling blown back into the face o f the man firing. It is supposed that the cartridge detonates rather then explodes when this recurs. Tbe Infor ­mation compiled by the Government In this actual teat praotice w ill be of immense im ­portance in perfecting machines of war. No Government bas a better weapon, bnt 1 1 is still in the experimental stage in m any re­spects.* * * * *

Much interest is felt in tbe target work this season, as it Is to be f< llowed by a depart­ment competition, which means that all the cracks in the Department of the East will be assembled at Fort Niagara to compete for honors. The Department of the East is tbe largest in tlie Arm y and the talent is the best. Those who desire it may see some of the brat rifle shots in the world try their skill on the target range a t Fort Niagara this summer. The Department will awnrd medals to the first ten, as follows: To tbe winner, a gold medal; to tbe next three In order of merit, a silver medal, to tbe remaining six, a bronze medal; aud the ten «oselected will constitute the Department teem to compete in tbe A r ­my competition a t Chloagq. In these oom - petition*, Fort N iagara nnd Fort Porter, oaglit to be well represented, judging from tbe past record. Sergt. Otto H . Sydow of

. Company C holds a world’s rsoord for one i day’s skirmishing,having nn average of 1771,

out of a possible 300. He ha* won many medals, w as graded a distinguished marks­man In 1801, and is probably one of the beet ail round shot* In tbe world, First-Sergeant Laskowski ot Company C is also n distin­guished marksman, having throe times com­peted on Department teams, sod follows a close second toBergt. Sydow Jn all competi­tions. Sergt. W ralgbt of F ort Porter asks no discount from either of those and the soorss of those thro* rival experts will be most Interesting to watch.

In addition to tb* rifle practice, there will be n revolver competition for officer* nt tb* time and place fixed for tbe Regular A rm y competition. There will also be nn infantry and cavnlry officer’s competition. Among the local talent liable to represent the regi­ment in these events are Capt. William A ll- in an. Lieuta. Tlirelkeld, Parker and Paine. A ll these record-breakers w ill bold their first preliminary shoot a t Fort Niagara.
