LIGHTHOUSES IN WAR
Csn Be Used to Lure an Enemy's
Ships to Destruction.
Special Ilntlea of the Keeper In Tim*
•f Troohlc— Urn,, the l.l«b«.
Mlßhl Be Manipulate*
to AlunHir
Tbe lighthouse keeper has his specia:
duties in times of war, and it is in hi.*
power to render valuable service to hi>
country's csuse. The extinguishing o
the lights in the bay was the beginning
of a policy which was outlined early in
March by the lighthouse board.
At that time general instruction*
were issued to the keepers of the light
houses ordering them to familiarize
themselves and their assistants with al.
the requirements incident to the exi
gencies of war. The extinguishing ol
the shore lights will be a last resort, a
the extensive commerce of foreign mer
chant vessels would be seriously inter
fered with by it. The order to put out
these lights will only come in case oi
actual danger of invasion by foreign
men-of war.
. Iv considering the various means by
which the lighthouse keeper can rendei
service in war time, it is necessary !■
know something of the lights ihein*
solves. In every lighthouse station tin.
beacon has some characteristic with
which the mariner is familiar, or which
he may readily recognize by an exami
nation of his churt. In BOIBS cases the
beacon is a fixed, white light, which
never changes, but sends its rays fat
out to sea, where the watchful pilot
recognizes it at a glance.
Other lights change from red to
white, or the reverse, or show a disk
one side of which is white and the othei
red. The approaching mariner know.*.
at once in what direction he should
steer. If the red light is on the righ!
and the white on the left side of fhc
dhk, he knows that by keeping to the
leii be will lad n safe ehsnnel, while
dangerous shoals await him in the op
posite direction, of course, it i.** obvi
ous that the lighthouse keeper bj re*
versing the e'tilors on the disk could dc
Inestimable damage to unfriendly ves
sels. In all such cases it la obvious thai
our own mariners must bs warned in
time of the changes contemplated.
Other lighthouses have :• beacon flash
ing White at Kgulsr intervals. Thui
the characteristic of the light at Fin
island is "one Hash every minute." II
this were changed, so that the light
would llash only inee ii*. two minutes
the mariner would be as badly off as it
there were DO light at all. With the
itlea in his bead that he had reached .1
point near Kirc Island, the unusual sig
nal would signify to him that his cal
culations were wrong, and that lie wat
in an entirely different 1 cality.
Another means by which tbe pilot
gauges his location is the distance ol
v lalbllity of the light. Bhfnnecock light
for example, is a Sxed white light siui
sted on Psmjnogue point, on the north
s-ide of Shinneciu'k bay, Long Island,
one mile from the line of sea bt si h snd
about midway between Ml .'itauk point
and Tire* Island light itstioM, It i
visible at a distance of 18*4 nautical
miles. Now, if it were known that an
enemy's ship were approaching, the
light could he screened so as to not bt
visible at all or to be visible at a hall
or quarter of the usual distance. The
vessel might thus be led into a trap be
fore its pilot realizes his proximity tc
the dangerous coast.
The changing of fog rituals has alsc
been contemplated as an effective
means of decelvjng the enemy. It is tho
Opinion of those most familiar with the
subject, however, that in cases of actual
invasion of our waters by the enemy't
ships the signals would be discontinued
altogether.
The characteristics of fog signals art
indicated by the length of blasts and
the intervals at which they are given,
and it is thought that changes might be
misleading even to our own pilots.—

WANT A NAVY.
Mesleaae Awikniit to ■■ Aptrr
rltatloß of the Valae i.fl'lgkt
ln« Ships.
El Tiempo, the organ of the clerical
(minority) party in Mexico, wants a
navy. In the course of an article on
the subjecP it s-iys:
"With regard to the nations that are
not able through lack of funds to at
tain such an equality, they should
strive by all m*>iins that their military
iilvancement should not remain in too
nsigntflcaat a stats and to secure
through it a certain amount of ir
ipectabillty. Mexico, which, during
the 21 years of p< ace which she has en
o;.c.i. bas iiei*:> able to introduce eon
tidei ible i"> n i cmi n;: in her s rmy
mil jiut it on modern footing, yet has
loin- Utile for I i ... and that the
latter i:. indispi - '■ the country i.-,
.■ . proof :it i' i
"M . .1. laa no
navy; i or go\ has had many
other things to ittend to which hare
distracted her attention elsewhere)
hut that tbe has not overlooked it is
proved i\v the purehasei I.i»*ii .he bai
been making of sack small vessels as
will for"! the nucleus of the Mexican
itrmadi. I.ood' The nation can also
help the government.
"We ai" going to give out an idea
which Iter some lime we have nurred
in our mind and which to-day. consid
ering it ripe for publicity, we launch
forth, certain thai our r- r>ih ■*. and the
public will ink" it up with pleasure and
second it with ■ ntkaslasiu-that ships
be bought by national Miliscription.
"We believe tin, t none will refuse his
mite toward an obji"*l which is so pa
triotic ss the one which we propose,
and that all Mexicans who in reality
love their coun-ry will see in this sub
scription, of which we nre the movers,
an Opportunity to help la the progress
of Mexico in povxr and respectability
before the whole world.
"The example which Spain is setting
in these moments isadinirable; her sons
all help her in the war. from the opu
lent hanker who pives 10.000.000 pe
setas, flown to »he poor widow, who.
not baring a single coin to dispose of,
gives her son as n volunteer. We, the
Mexicans, who are children of Spain,
let as all help our country for peace,
been us" the more powerful and strong
a nation is, it is more respected and its
tranquillity both interior and exterior
is to that extent guaranteed. Let M
imitate the example of our mother,
Spain, and that the love we feel for the
land in which we |h*e may he embodied
in the shape of a formidable man-of
war which in proudly flying to the
breeze our beautiful tri-color stand
ard, shall announce to the world the
power of advancement of Mexico and
the pal riot ism of her sons.
"From to-day. therefore, we open
the subscription in our columns; and
we are induced to hope for n satisfac
tory result from the extraordinary
success which other subscriptions
which we have opened have attained,
ss well a- from tbe patriotic and noble
Idea which has "nosed us to open this
subscription and the encouragement
which all those with whom we have
spoken have giver, us."
El Tiempo opens the subscription
with $sftn.—St. Louis Republic.
Won't Tii 11. Into a Phonograph.
Mr. Edison has persistently refused
to register bis voice upon a phonograph
cylinder for repetition. To some friends
who urged him to talk into one of these
machines he gave his reason: "It would
make me sick with disgust to see
placarded . n phonographs everywhere
I turn! 'Drop a nickel in the slot and
hear Edison talk. No, no: none of that
for me." The tone of voice in which he
stated his objection made it clearly np
parenl that he could neither be coaxed
nor dragged into granting tits request,
>•■ . :. I bough he has had an offer of $10.
--iOO for a livc-minuti *,' ta!k. In perfect
ing the phonograph he has, of course,
been obliged to talk into the machine
frequently, but the cylinder is always
scrsped so that his voice cannot be re
produced. To one close friend, how
i \, i, he reluctantly gave a cylinder r-e
--cordicg it few of his words, and to a
.\.>ung man who particularly Interested
him he gave another on which is re
corded his favorite story. These are
the only two iv existence. — Ladies'
