at night, and being particularly careful
not to run any unnecessary risk from
the climate. Even then the results of
the heat are not pleasant to dwell upon,
and very few years sees them obliged
to return home to recruit their strength.
1t any proof of the difficulties which the
French are about to meet were, howev-
er, wanting, one has only to cast his eye
across to the northern end of Sumatra,
where, IN much cooler because hitler
country than In which the French are
about to operate, the Dutch have year
after year found themselves absolutely
unable to make any Roadway against
the Achinese. Shut up in really very
small tract of land, bounded by the sea,
unable to obtain succor from any source.
the Achin people have managed without
much difficulty to hold back all the
forces which the experienced Dutchmen
have been able to bring against them.
Thousands of Dutch bones whiten on
the soil of Achin, thousands of Dutch
men have been buried from the effects
OF fever and exposure to the sun, but
yet the Achinese are as free as ever.
The French would have probably done
well had they studied this problem be-
tore beginning war In Tonquin.

from the harbor thirty miles north of
the cape, and the captain stated a native
esquimaux told him two natives with' the
Greeley expedition had arrived on
sledges last winter and reported the
party all well except DIR. Pavy, who had
died. These natives went back to Lady
Franklin Bay. Another Esquimaux had
arrived from the Greeley camp and re-
ported that all the officers were MUIR
dered by the men. Neither of these re-
ports are reliable, as the fondness of the
Esquimaux for lying and sensationalism
places them in the category of fiction.
Capt. Pike says that as far north as
Cape Sabine there was no trace of Gree
ley or the party, and his failure to come
south to Littleton Island to meet the re-
lief steamer this summer evOkes grave
apprehension as to their probable fate.
The Greeley expedition, attached to
the signal service, started on the Proteus
June IA, 1881, for the purpose of MAX
ing meteorological, tidal, magnetic, pen
dulum and other observations. The
location of the Greeley Arctic exploring
expedition camp is at Discovery Harbor,
Lady Franklin Bay, in latitude 81 de-
grees 40 minutes north and longitude
So degrees IS minutes west, nearly as
high latitude as ever men wintered in.
The Proteus left Greeley and his two
assistants, Lieuts. f. F. Kings
bury and F. J. Lockwood, both of
the army, five subordinate officers of the
signal corps and fifteen selected enlisted
men. The Neptune went out on relief
expedition last year, but as it started
too late and from other causes, it did
not reach the Greeley colony; so the
colonists had to go through their second
winter without fresh supplies. Con-
siderable efforts were made to prevent
this years expedition from miscarrying,
ominous opinions having been heard
that if this years relief expedition
failed, there could be little doubt that
Greeley and his whole party wonld per-
ish miserably.

Lighthouses.
From the Cape May Wave


The great tower, from which Cape
May light flashes out it's beams, is an
object of great interest to those who
come to Cape May for the first time.
It is one Of the most prominent objects
that meets the eyes as the train moves
over the open country towards the ocean,
and it fairly divides for time the atten-
ton of the novice in seaside experience
with the great Atlantic. Our guests
stake in " the lighthouse as one of the
things to do while on a visit to Cape
May, and we are not surprised at this,
for it is really an object of great curl
osity and interest to everyone. This
being true, it may be timely for few
remarks upon the general subject of
lighthouses, beginning with Cape May,
whose first tower was built in 1928, and
nearer the ocean than the present one.
Thirty-one years later it was rebuilt in
its present form; the light is 1872 feet
above the ocean level, and is of the Or
der of French Fre8nel Tens, flashing,
when lighted, with clear white light at
intervals of thirty seconds, being visible
at sea so far as the curvatives of the earth
will allow.
All lighthouses III GQ0 OulLOu OGdC0S
are under the control of board con-
sisting of two officers of the navy, two
army engineers, two civilians of high
scientific attainment, and an officer of

ToLoNo, I'll. September I5.-For
eighteen months past FL. S. Smith has
been heating and lighting his residence
in this city with gas obtained from a
well about two inches in diameter and
100 feet deep. Since Mr.. Smiths
experiment demonstrated the practical
biity of using gas thus obtained for heat
ing and lighting purposes, dozen or
more gas wells have been sunk by other
parties in this locality. In almost every
instance a vein of gas has been pene-
trated at depth of about 100 feet below
the surface; but in most cases the flow
of gas has been too weak for use, and up
to this week @. E. Bowman, living three
miles northeast of town, has been the
only person in the township besides
Mr.. Smith whose well supplied
sufficient quantity of gas
for continual use. The excitement,
which was at It's height six months ago
had nearly died out, and interest in the
subject had reached the minimum; but
the whole matter has just received
new impetus by the discovery at the
farm of @. r. Wyman, in Philo Town
ship, three miles northeast of To-
lono, of vein of gas more
abundant and powerful than any
which had been previously found. A
number of other wells are to be bored
at once in this vicinity, and the re-
sources of this subterranean vein of gas
will be thoroughly tested. These gas
wells are said to be identical in charac-
ter with those in the oil regions of Penn
sylvania, and speculation is rife as to
the possibility of deposits of oil.
