History of Lighthouses.

The history of the lighthouse goe
back to the time when your neighbors
didn't fling things into your back yard.
1t is claimed that Virgil had knowledge
of lighthouse, and that he stated that
one was placed ON tower of the temple
of Apollo, on Mount Leucas, the light Of
which, visible far out at sea, warned ano
guided mariners. 1t Is even said that
the colossus of Rhodes, erected 300 years
before the birth of Christ, showed from
his uplifted hand signal light. But the
famous Pharos of Alexandria, built 2Ss
B. c., is the first light of undoubted rec
cord. Other lights were shown from
towers at Ostia, Ravenna, Apamea, but
the lighthouse at Corunna, Spain, is be-
lieved to be the oldest sea town. This
was built in the reign of Trojan, and in
1854 was reconstructed. England and
France have towers built by their Roman
conquerors, which were used as light
houses, and they are to-day marvels il
the art of masonry. " Chicago Herald.

Preserving Iron From Rust.

The beautiful ironwork so much in
vogue nowadays, is generally finished
ON account of its susceptibility to rust,
with coating OF black lacquer, or some
other preparation, which is not only in
appropriate but gives to the metal an
unnatural appearance. A clever French
man, who was an expert in metal work,
showed us such simple and effective
way of preserving it from rust, that it is
worth remembering. The only material
required is cows horn (the toy trum,
pets sold in the shops will answer the
purpose). Heat the iron and rub the
edge of the horn over it-that is all. II
the horn smokes little as you rub it or
you will know that the iron is hot
enough. This will cause the horn to
melt, and an imperceptible coating will
be left upon the iron that will afford
complete protection from the damp for a
year or more on outdoor work. On IN
door ironwork it will last indefinitely -.

A new kind of stamps will soon be

The new stamp is printed on very thin
paper, and cannot be used again if it is

wet and taken off the envelope it leaves
an indelible impression upon the spot

There is no doubt, states the Detroit
Free Press, that the worlds fair will be
somewhat influenced by European poll
tics. With Germany and England in
close friendship and Russia allied with
France to offset the power of the drei-
bund, there is very sensitive and jealous
feeling in all quarters, and our commits
sioners will need to use infinite tact in
order to bring all these countries to the
point of making generous exhibitions at
Chicago. OF England we are certain,
and probably of Germany; but France
seems coy, and it is not unlikely that
Russia will need degree of persuasion
to induce her to do justice either to her
self or to the fair.

The question why piece of solid iron
floats on molten iron has been satisfacto-
rily answered by DIR. Anderson and Mr..
Wrightson. The cold metal is really
heavier than the molten, and when first
placed in the latter it sinks by virtue of
its weight; but growing warmer it ex
pands, and thereby becoming specifically
lighter it rises to the surface. After a
time, however, it again shrinks and
melts into the fluid mass around it.
Some of the most prominent iroI
founders are introducing IA new and sim
pie practice in order to secure stronger
castings, the method in question consist
ing in placing thin sheets of wrought
iron in the center of the mold previous tc
the operation of casting. This method
was first resorted to, it appears, in the
casting of thin plates for the ovens OF
cooking stoves, it being found that
sheet of thin iron in the center of a
quarter-inch oven plate rendered it prac
tically unbreakable by fire.

But that's all right. Our towns are so
OVERLOADED with so-cslled restaurants that
exist for drinking purposes only that when

quite desirable to say so. In like manner
it would be we'll to have some distinctive
prefix for certain of the Beth lehems' hotels.
Though we have any quantity of hotel
licenses it is safe to say that halt of the
places furnish no sleeping accommodations
whatever Saloon keepers take out a res
taurateur's or hotel mans license merely
because it gives them greater privileges,
not because they have any intention OF
keeping a restaurant. If we talked about

little more we might be more readily un-
