A Light.House Keepers Escape.

On the highest peak of the hills of
the Highlands of Navasink, N. j., stand
the famous twin lighthouses. During
the heavy storms OF last week job
Smith, the assistant keeper, was inn
prisoned there orfour consecutive days
keeping the lights burning through the
dense fogs that yelled the coast Tor that
period. While thus engaged Smith had
a narrow escape from a terrible death.
The lari-oil which is used in the great
lanterns OF the Fresnel light is easily
chilled. and the nightbeing very cold it
was necessary to apply heat to the pipe
through which the oil passes to the
burners. Smith used the ordinary alco.
hol fambeau provided fer that purpose.
Standing directly underneath the Ian.
tern he held the fambeau above his
head. From some unexplained cause
the top OF the alcohol-holder became
detached, and the fluid. which ignited.
poured down upon his head. He rashed
down the toEer into the main building
and out of doors. and throwing himself
into a snow-bank he succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames. His hair and
heard were singed and his clothing was
burned and scorehed, while about his
face ami. hands he received painful in
iuries Returning TO the lighthouse
he succeeded in lighting both the lamps
and nursed. his burns while keeping
watch over them during the night In
the morning he succeeded in signalling
to the lower Highlands for assistance.
The head keeper was summoned and
Smith was conveyed TO his home. AL

condition is not considered critical, IN
