Peace-Time Peeps through Periscopes. Useful in many places beside the submarine
-
caption 1: Dashing through the
waves in a high-powered
hydroplane, he watches
the path ahead by look-
ing through a periscope;
inside a periscope there
are two mir-
i rors set at an
angle to pro-
duce double
reflection
caption 2: Perhaps there will
be dirty work at
the cross-roads to-
night, but it won't
be at these cross-
roads. For the
careful gate-keeper
has a periscope at-
tached to his house,
through which he
can see the trains
approach around
the curve below
caption 3: In this case the
trench is an orches-
tra-pit, and No
Man's’ Land the
stage. By watch-
ing the actors
through a regular
trench periscope,
the musical conduct
tor, Herbert E.
Hyde, was able to
lead his orchestra
caption 4: This motorman can see
people boarding his car in
the rear, though he looks
straight ahead. Eyes in
the back of his head?
No; he uses a periscope
caption 5: “Here comes the bride!” said
the woman who had brought
her periscope. She saw
Princess Pat's wedding _pro-
cession. The other women
could see none of it, and so
they stared at the photographer
caption 6: They alternately glue their eyes
to the lower end of a periscope,
the top of which overlooks the edge
of a fence on the other side of which
a thrilling ball game is in progress
