For the Paris Exhibition.

Messrs. Pusey, Jones & Co., are now
engaged in constructing a model for the
exhibition, that is to be held in Paris
during the coming spring.
The model consists of representation
of the magnificent light house, recently
built by them to be erected on "Fowey
Rock" on the coast of Florida. The
coast upon which the light house is erec-
ted Is one of the most dangerous in the
world, and the government has been for
years and years tryingto find foundation
upon which to erect warniug to mari
ners. Recently it was discovered by
surveyor that light house could be
erected upon solid foundation formed
by insects, specimen Of which the firm
have at their office.
The model Is about nine feet high, and
as stated above Is an exact imitation OF
the hight house built by the firm for that
coast. The following Is q description of
the model. The base rests upon a fac
sinaile of the cost upon which the original
is erected. The upper portion Is sup
ported by nine piles that are driven into
the coal. The tower is octagonal, and Is
devided into FIVE sections. The second
section comprises the dwelling for the
keepers.
From the dwelling to the next section
is spiral stairway leading to the service
a porch on which the keepers patrol dur
ing the day for the purpose of keeping
lookout for vessels during storm.
During the day flags are displayed from
the windows of this apartment.
Above this room is the washroom, used
for cleansing the lamps. Immediately
above is the apartment in which the
lamp is placed, the lamp for the original
which was made in Paris cost $50 ,000.-
The building of the original and also the
model has been under the supervision of
Mr.. jules e. Rettig, Superintendent OF
Construction of the Lighthouse Depart
ment. The model viii be finished in
about six weeks, and will be a magnifi-
cent specimen of American workman
ship. If it should be shipped by the gov
ernment to Paris, it would present fne
evidence of the skill and ability of
American workmen. isuE

think that will materially interfere
with the canning Of haIibut. for We
have used cans of chicken aud turkey

and found them invariably sweet; and
they contain no more fat than halibut.
The next five years will witness n
marked change III the counties of Clal-
lam and Jefferson. Fishing villages
will dot every little nook and bay be-
tween Port Townsend and Nesh Bay,
and as fishermen cannot grow their
own produce. they will have TO pur-
chase from the settlers who are taking
up the fertile creek bottoms along the
Straits. The fisheries will. before the
close of 1880, make q cash market for
all the garden truck that tbs settlers
can produce.
