The new lighthouse at Houstholm
is the most powerful in the world.
The beam is, of 2,O00,0o0 candle
power and shows clearly at BIokhus,
a distance of thirty.fiye miles. It
is produced by arc lamps fed by De
Aeriten's dynamos, driven by steam
engines To prevent the extinction
of the light through an accident to
the machinery the latter is dupliea-
ted, one set coming into play should
the other fail. The light is further
supplemented in thick wcather by
two powerful sirens, or fog trumpets
working with compressed air. The
fascination which a powerful light
exercises on wild birds is curiously
illustrated by this lighthouse. 1t is
said that basketfuls of dead snips
larlSs, rtarlings, and so forth. are
picked up in the mornings outside

laughed derisive smile at the be-

handed him silver dollar. The
knight of the punch extracted five
cents from the Bland and returned
ninety-five cents in change TO the
passenger.
"Then he applied to the other one
for fare, and his whiskers turned a
brighter hue when she coolly said.
eMy sister paid for me- In vain
he argued and protected against two
people occupying three seats for one
fare. As he turned .despairingly
away, his parrotship, who had been
fidgeting in his cage, electrified the
car by shouting: MARY, you're a
dead beat" 1t was too much. The
women retreated, parrot and all,

No More Surplus.

The Congressional session, though,
it has thus far accomplished moth
ing more practical than the tempo
rary establishment of "Bismark of
American politics." has advanced
quite far enought to show that tariff
revision or a reduction of taxation
is not to be expected ot.the present
Congress. Tire house has been or
ganized to reduce the surplus only
by expending it, and it is already
evident that blythe end of this ses-
sion there willfbe no surplus left to
perplex anybody. The problem
will be to provide revenues subj
cient to meet the appropriations.
The most startling acknowlcd-
ment of the changed situation comes
in the announcement that the Ways
and Means committee will propose
a suspension of she annual payment
to the sinking fund-not for the
purpose of reducing the amount to
be raised by taration, but in order
to meet the demands OF the com
mittee on appropriations, whose
figures already run away beyond
the probable receipts of the year.
The imperative duty of reducing
the revenue Was acltnowled by all
parties at the Congressional election
and the Ways and Means committee
is now supposed to be considering
a plan to this effect. OF course, it is
not going to reduce any custom du-
ties, unless way can be found to
reduce the duty on raw sugar, which
is grown only in Democratic States,
and the only definite idea thus far
reached is the; removal of the to-
bacco tax. But this would cut off
twenty-five or thirty millions at
blow, and as the appropriations are
expected to exceed even the present
revenue, the sinking fund is the
only available source of fresh sup
ply.
Even without the Blair bill or
other wild extravagance of legisla-
tion. the appropriations already for
mulated, including pensions, public
buildings and other public expendi-
lures for private benefit, exceed any
thing ever dreamed of heretofore.
Careful men in Washington estimate
the probable appropriations of the
session at n hundred million in ex-
cess of the estimated revenue. OF
course some check will have TO be
put upon this. but at present the
leaders are evidently all at sea, with
only sort of a blind hope that in
some way the Speaker and his rules
viii pull them though.

An eminent scientist has er0lr6d
the theory that water as an element
70 eStinguish fires in large and high
buildings is a failure. He claims
that when combustion evolves a GER
tain intense degree of heat tho wa
ter thrown upon the flames emits a
powerful volume of hydrogen which
burns with frightfnI fury. This
scientist sets up the theory that
these fires must be treated in dit
fercnt manner, and expresses the
belief that gas will be the sue scssfuI
weapon with which 10 fight fire at
some future day. Gas has been
quite extensively experimented
with, and it has been effective in
close rooms, but in the open mir the
gas evaporates and soon loses it's
strength.

In the opinion of the Detroit Free
Press, whatever Congress may
authorize or permit in the taking of
the eleventh census, one thing should
be provided for beyond the possibil.

any tapping over. The eleventh
census must be completed before it
is time to begin the twelfth. In
respect 70 the tenth we have had a
narrow escape, the last volumes
having been issued only a few
months since. With the enormous
extension which has been made 70

eleventh will not be completed be-
fore 1905 unless there is a positive
prohibition against continuing it

Until a day or so ago, John Glib,
the eminent merchant, was nom.
Der of the Legislative COMMITTEES Of
the Kings county Republican com
mittee. Mr.. Glib is the head of the
great Wholesale house of Mills &
Gibb, IN New York, and of the
mammoth retail house which goes
by the name of Frederick Loeser &
Co., in Brooklyn. He is one of the
most active of the Republican bust
ness men of Brooklyn, and is to be
credited with very large share in
the recent reforms of Mayor Chains
administration. The New York
Tribune is never tired of praising
Mr.. Glib and his, patriotic stand for
reform and the Republican party.
Now. Mr.. Glib has resigned from
the Committee, and the Brooklyn
Citizen interviewed him to find ont
what is the matter, and discovered
it was the tariff. The New York
Standard is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
New York business men will re.
member Mr.. Gibbs enthusiasm for
Harrison last year, and how his
wholesale house was closed on the
day of, the Republican parade in
order that none of his employees
need have any excuse for staying
away: He is a typical, old fashion
ed business man, and here he is re-
firing from work for his party on
account of the tariff. "The Repub-
lican party" he says. "is wrong ON
