Works Amid Deep Solitude and Mast Endure All Sorts of Weather Place an Appointive One and Free from Wiles of Politicians. The beeper of a marine lighthouse has not a job, but an office. He is a Presidential appointee and holds a commission which when read out sounds as Important as that of the col lector of customs or the postmaster. He holds an office of large trust and high responsibility. He Is to keep his ciple that should take the place of every other the world round. Fresnel was that man. Indeed, he began with his experiments ten years earlier. Over In France was Fresnel ai work on a marine light that was destined to send Its apprising flashes from six several towers in the Chicago harbor over the waters to the horizon. The Frenchman lived to perfect his light; he was ap pointed secretary to the lighthouse board of France In 1825 and while he was In that position he replaced reflect ors with lenses and invented the revolv ing light. Then he added prismatic rings. The result was the system that still goes by his name and has long since changed the mode of lighthouse illumination throughout the world. It is now used exclusively by the United States. V Catarrh has become such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh u nothing more serious than a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system. Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. S. 6. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor oughly and permanently the worst cases Mr. P. H. McAllister, of Hurrodsburg, Ky., writes: "Having been s terrible sufferer from Catarrh, tod being now sound and well, the ques tion often put to me is, 'What cured you? In an swer I feel it my duty to state that Swift's Specific is the medicine.

Sola n aniffriwa. n LaLaM3 n description applies to the first order ot lenses, which are used in the great lights on the seacoast. For the second order of lenses, such as used In the lights iu the Chicago harbor, a lamp with three concentric wicks was adopt ed. The annual consumption of oil by the lenses of the first order Is 094 gal lons and of the second order 401 gal lons. The lenses cost but little more than the old reflectors and the saving of oil Is great. The ratio of effect of the lens light is to that of the reflector light as 4 to 1 that is, one gnllon of oil burned In a lens throws as much light' to the horizon as four gallons burned in a reflector light. During the last twenty-five years there has been a great Increase in ma rine lighting in the ninth lighthouse district, which includes Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illi nois. The number of lighthouses In this district is 127, and every light Is a Fresnel. A new lighthouse built at Manltou Island is fine, costing the gov ernment a good sum of money. Beside it is the fog signal contrivance aud a little distance off Is the oil tank Inclosed neatly. The house in which the llght- I house keeper dwells Is supplied with the modern conveniences and is hand some enough to be called a villa. A large quantity of stores is required to be kept constantly in the district, and these are substantially housed In a gov ernment building In St. Joseph, Mich. The official headquarters of the ninth district is in Chicago. It is In charge of Commander F. M. Symonds, United States navy. Commander Symonds says that the Chicago lighthouses are reckoned among the best on the lakes. Every Exertion a Task Every Care a Burden Tliere is failure of the strength to tlo and the power to endure; there is weakness "all over" that is perwistent and constant. The vital functions are impaired, food does not nourish, and the whole system is run down. , A medicine that strengthens the stomach, perfects digestion, invig orates nnd tones is needed. What Hood's Snrsapnrilla did for Mrs" 1i. 11. Garland, Shady, Temi., it has done for others. She took it when she was all run down without appetite, lotting tlesh, and unable to do hrr work. It restored her appetite, increased her weight, and made her well and strong. This is her own unsolicited statement. Hood's Sarsapariifa Promises to cure and keeps the promise. The earlier treatment ia hegun the hetter hogin it today. LONELY WATCH OF THE LIGIITKEEPER. lamp trimmed and burning from the dusk of evening till the next daylight His post Is advanced to the edge of the deep and often raging waters it is a lonely situation nnd. through nights of all weathers he must stay and be vigi lant at his post. Should he fail once in the performance of duty what disaster to vessels aud crews might not come! The navigator knows aud testifies to his worth in the position where he has been placed by the government, but It is certain that he is not much regarded by the general public. The first lighthouse In the Chicago harbor, says the Chronicle, if It could be so denominated, when the smallest ves sels made their way with peril Into the shallow mouth of the unimproved river, was erected In 1831. Reckoning from that date, which, In fact, was six years earlier than the city's birth as a corporation,- the vast commece now car ried on here hnd its beginning only sixty-nine years ago. There Is nothing like this commercial wonder in the world now, nor ever was. All this since nn Immense number of men still living and not yet accounted old were born! When it first was in agitation to erect a lighthouse here of the old pattern, with a stationary light of no great power, there was a man In France deep in studies and busy with experiments to produce a marine light on a new pnn- Chlcago people are accustomed to see ing the Fresnel light in the several lighthouses in the harbor, but nrobablv few have ever inquired Into the mech anism of the apparatus by which the flashes are produced. Take the one on the north pier as typical. Within It is an arrangement of lenses, supplement ed by prisms, which revolve around a sperm oil-burning lamp. When one of the lenses comes opposite the observer the eye receives a bright flash preceded and followed by a brief eclipse. There are six orders of lenses, arranged ac cordiiig to size. The first three and largest are used In seacoast lights, and the last three in harbor and river lights. The lamp differs from other lamps In the provision of wicks. Carcel Invented a lamp which is named for him, in which oil is fed to the wick by means of a pump, operated bv clockwork. sometimes used In lighthouses and as a domestic lamp. Fresnel udopted the Carcel lamp, but improved it so thnt It pumps up to the burner four times as mucn on as is consumed, which, by keeping the burners cool, prevents them from melting and also the wicks from burning up. Sometimes a wick will burn a whole night without requiring snuffing. This, notwithstanding th fact that the intensity of the Fresnel light is about equal to that of about twenty five ordinary Carcel burners. The above llfcked Hla Life In a Canoe. A young Frenchman named Felix Chauchols, a Parisian student, about 25 years of age, was given au enthusiastic reception on the sands at Calais upon his reaching shore after nn adventurous voyage across the channel from Dover In a small canoe. M. Chauchols, who bad been staying at Dover, left the English shore on Sun day morning at 8 o'clock In a canoe be longing to the Dover Rowing Club, of which he was a temporary member. It Is an exceedingly frail craft, measuring about 14 feet In length and 2 feet wide, covered at both ends. The well- iu which the canoeist sat Is 3 feet long by about 20 Inches wide. She was In the same condition when he started aa when used for ordinary pleasure pur poses, 'the only protection he had to keep the water out being the ordinary weather boards. There was a light northwesterly wind as be started from Dover, but later In the day the wind veered to southwest and freshened, and. there was quite an unpleasant ripple on the water. Chau chols was at first carried away on the flood tide a good deal to the eastward, but he had the advantage of having his course for Calais given hlra by Captain Delnhnye of the cross-channel mail packet Le Nord. It appears, however, that he drifted many miles out of his course, as the tide turned westward, and It was not until 10:30 on Monday that he reached Calais. He was unac companied throughout the passage. London Chronicle. Does Cooking Spoil Food? Frof. B. Tyler, of Indianapolis, says that humau life would average three or four times longer than it does If people would reject the senseless prac tice of cooking their food. Animals and fowl live much longer In proportion to the period of full development than man. Says Prof. Tyler: "Man, for some unknown reason, euts dead cells (cooked cell's) to replace the dead cells that have been separated from the body. In cooking food all the acids and gases so necesnnry for the conser vation and preservation of Ideal health escape with the steam, and the food retains a greater supply of ash, lime and other such substances than nature requires for the amount of food taken Into the system."

This map shows the formation of the land which scientists now afllrm connect ed Australia, Africa and America, mak ing of the three one great antarctic con tinent. For proof of this the fact is pointed out that the ancient sea beaches of Patagonia, which are now far inland, have imbedded In them fossil shells 1 1 - ;uss. II SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN New ZEALArlD .SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN if i i - i which are exactly like those found In parts of Australia. It is probably more than 1,000,000 years ago that the continu ous coastline of both continents became divided. The fauna of the three countries are beyond doubt descendants from the same ancestors, for it Is abmird to assume thnt tliere could at one time have been a land bridge across the great expanses of ocean; or that there can ever have been migration by means of drifting wood. The ostrich is cited as another proof. It is found both in Australia and Africa, but is, nevertheless, a non-flying bird. But It is more particularly among extinct animals, whose remains are from time to time unearthed, that investigators have been able to establish their theory beyond doubt. Now, the discovery of an antarctic continent ia looked forward to with more importance by scientists than the dis covery of the north pole.

Up to the beginning of the present troubles, it has been somewhat remark able fact, according to the Philadel phia Inquirer, that no American citi zen, traveler, business man, diplomat or missionary, has ever been murdered in China by the Chinese. This can be said of the citizens of none of the other great powers which have had constant ami long-continued intercourse with the East. This, it is said, is not a mere coincidence, or accident. The Chinese like Americans. Of course, the statement is made with the reser vation that they do not like any for eigners as a resident of China, but as compared with the people of the great European powers, they like the Ameri cans. Whenever they ask a man of what nationality he is, and his answer is that he is an American, they at once exclaim, "We are friends."
