SIGNAL CORPS.
New
Code Recently Issued by Adju
tant General.
The adjutant general has recently is
sued an order in which he declares the
old army signal code to be obsolete,
and prescribes that the members of the
brigade signal corps, C. N. G., shall
hereafter use the code recently adopt
ed by the United States army and
known as the Meyer system for United
States army and United States navy
Signalling. The new code is construct
ed on radically different lines from the
old one, which was simply the regular
telegraph code. All space letters are
abolished, and in place of dots and
dashes the alphabet is formed of com
binations of the numbers 1 and 2. In
signalling with a flag 1 is represented
by a wave to the left; similarly, in
using the heliograph 1 is a short flash
and 2 a long one. A number has been
added to represent the letters t-i-o-n,
and twelve abbreviations are used to
represent the common words, such as
A for after, T for the, and Y for yes.
This one point alone is a most impor
tant change, as formerly it was neces
sary to spell out all these words, an
iron-clad rule being never to use an
abbreviation in the body of a message.
Punctuation marks are abolished, but
instead of the comma, period, etc.,
there are numbers which indicate the
end of a word, sentence or message.
The conventional signals are greatly
cut down, and all useless ones., such as
"accept compliments," are abolished.
It is claimed for this new system that
it is much easier to learn and it is said
that even inexperienced signalmen can
eend and receive by the telegraph with
it, which only experts could do by the
old code.
INTERESTING LITERARY EXER
CISES. Very interesting literary exercises
were held at Mrs. Cady's school, Hill
house avenue, on Friday evening. The
exercises comprised music, recitations
In French, German and English, the
reading of original sketches and es
says. The piano duets performed bv Miss
Cheney and Miss Katharine Brown
were very enjoyable, both being selec
tions from Rubinstein.
There were two notable essays by
members of the senior class, one upon
"David Garritk," the actor, and the
other upon "Alexander Pope." There
was a pleasing and graceful recitation
by another senior of the German poem
by Goethe, "Mignonne." There was
also a very successful paraphrase of
Browning's poem, "Pheidippides,"
written and well presented by another
young lady of the senior class.
The program occupied an hour and a
half, having fourteen numbers. It
closed with a chorus by the school un
der the leadership f 31isa Gryrgs. the
teacher of choral singing, who trains
the entire school weekly in this branch
of music.
The program was enjoyed by all pres
ent, being both entertaining and instructive.
Tilt: T.ATIS UK. Jj. ,. SAAFOItli.
Dr. Leonard J. Sanford, late profes
sor of anatomy at the Yale medical
school, and one of the oldest and most
prominent physicians in this city, died
at his residence on Crown street Sat
urday morning, a little after 4 o'clock,
He had been suffering for weeks from
heart trouble and his condition had
been critical for some time. Tlie at
tack of cardiac prostration that siezed
him a week ago was a for of acute an
gina pectoris.
During his illness he retained con
sciousness throughout and from a med
ical point of view took intense interest
in his own case, at one time consulting
with his physician and debating coolly
its phases.
His brother, Nathan II. Sanford, died
suddenly last week at the New Haven
house.
Dr. Sanford was born November IS,
1S33, and belonged to one of the oldest
families in the state. The late E. I.
Sanford, Judge of the superior court,
was also a brother. A son, Dr. L. I.
Sanford, of this city, and two daugh
ters, survive him.
Dr. L. J. Sanford was a member of
the American Medical association and
of the American Academy of Medicine.
To American literature he contributed
many pamphlets on anatomical sub
jects. For many years he was the lecturer
on physiology and hygiene in both the
academic and scientific departments of
Yale university. He was in late years
for a long period senior deacon of Cen
ter church. His studies in preparation
for his profession were made at Yale
medical college and afterwards at the
Jefferson medical college of Philadel
phia. From the latter he obtained his
degree of doctor of medicine. Yale con
ferred upon him the degree of M. A. in
1858. He had been a professor at the
Yale medical college since 1S63, officiat
ing until quite recently.
In April, 1S66, Dr. Sanford married
Miss Anne M. daughter of the late
William Cutler of this city. Mrs. San
ford died several months ago. Three
children survive, the Misses Adeline
and Susan Sanford, and Dr. Leonard
C. Sanford of this cit.
