NEW LIGHT FOR LIGHT-HOUSES.--A letter
of the 10th instant from Trieste states that a new system
of producing light for lighthouses has been invented by a
sergeant-major in the Austrian artillery, named Selckonsky.
The apparatus consists of a parabolic mirror, 62 inches by
30, with a 12- inch focus, and the light is produced by a
row kind of wax candle, invented by M. Selekonsky. It
has been tried under the inspection of the Austrian Lloyd's
Company in the port of Trieste, by being erected on the
mast of a vessel. The light is said to have illuminated the
whole of the port and the surrounding parts of the town
equal to the moon at full (!) ; and at the distance of 600
yards the finest writing could be read. A second trial has
been made in bad weather, and the result was proportionally
favourable.
