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.

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.

poison and eliminates from the system all
catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor

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

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.

His post Is advanced to the edge of the

lonely situation nnd. through nights of
all weathers he must stay and be vigi

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

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

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.

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."

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.
