THIS LIGHT PlERCes FOG.
A schirm Magnesium Flash Apparatus 10 b
Tried a New York.

NEW YoRK, Dec. IL The United States
Lighthouse Department at Tompkinsville.
s. L., has received new magnesium flash
apparatus, the invention of Prof. c. G.
Schirm.
The tests abroad were very satisfactory,
u ligh, being produced that was infinitely
stronger than anything ever heard Of be-
fore The flashes produced have shown
800 900 candle power. The light begins
with 100, 900 candle power and can be grad
uaily increased in strength until the maxi
mum is reached. II power is so great that.
according to the people who saw II tested In
Europe, the flashes can be seen distinctly
ut Il distance of mile and half in the
day time when the sun is shining brightly,
and when the strongest electric light now In
use would hardly be visible few away.
The feature of the hight il it's intense
penetrating power on a foggy or hazy night,
and it is expected TO he very great i'm
provement for this reason on the present
light employed in the United States light
house service. BY system of clockwork
a regular supply of magnesium powder II
fed into the flame of n small benzine lamp.
As the powder strikes the flame the flashes
are produced giving forth an intense red
dish light. The frequency and duration of
the flashes can be regulated at will, and the
system can. if necessary. be fitted TO

PROF. SMITH GUILTY.
And Committee Will Report Today What
Penalty He Shall Suffer.

CIScINSAII, Dec. l2.-The presbytery
in secret session considering thessecond and
third charges and specifications against DR.,
Henry reserved Smith of Lane Seminary,
took vote this afternoon. On the second
charge the vote stood IS TO 20 against the
professor. On the third charge the vote
was 32 to 20 against him.
The vote on charge one was also given
out. 1t stood 81 to y in favor of the ac-
cused. committee consisting of three
majority and two minority members was
appointed to fix penalty and report to the
presbytery tomorrow morning.
The second and third charges, on which
Prof Smith was found guilty, pertain to
his views on inspiration. Tue second charge
was that he taught contrary to the funda-
mental doctrine of the word of God and of
the confession of faith, that the Holy SPIRIT
did not 50 control the inspired writers in
their composition of the Holy Ssrlptures as
to make their utterances wholly and ahso-
lutely truthful, i. e.-free from error when
interpreted in their natural and intended
sense.
The third charge accused him of teach
lug an inspiration of the Scriptures in a
sense different from that taught by the
Scriptures themselves, and by the confes-
sion of faith. In view of the close vote, 1t
is surmised that the penalty of ex-communi-
cation will not be recommended, and posi-
lily not even more than an admoniilon, as
the committee is made up 10 include several
supporters of the accused.

BIGGEST MINING DEAL.
The Creede Properties Sold 10 New York
Syndicate for $500. 900.

DENVER, Dec. IL, - Information has
reached here that l.. ID. Koudebush has
placed the properties held under his option
with New York company composed of
big capitalists for $500 900 thus completing
the largest mining deal ever carried cut in
Colorado.
The options expire January |, so that
plenty OF time remains to complete the de-
tails The mines in the transaction are the
famous Amethysta. New York, Hillside,
Golden Eagle, Cuba aud Hidden Treasure.
The vein is thus covered for the whole of
it's known length by the new company, ex-
cepting that part inside the line of the Last
Chance. which remains in the hands of its
present owners.
Bitter litigation was threatened when the
Amethysta people laid out the Hidden
Treasure, across the adjoining properties.
The move was the result of the unexpected
turn of the vein from direction nearly
north and south 10 the west, and out of the
side line of the Ame,hysta into the Hill
side. Amethysta people followed the vein
into the Hillside AMI introduced new style
of discovered shaft by going from below in
stead of going down from the surface TO
look for orr.
The Hillside owners were surprised when
the Amethys,a men popped ont OF the
ground one night, and were more surprised
when the Amethysia set up the claim that
the hole was a discovery shaft, and located
the Hidden Treasure along the new course.
The Hillside. Golden Eagle and Cuba
consolidated their forces to fight the Anne
thysta, but also came in on the deal, and
put an end to the contest. The new com.
pany will be called the Amethysta Consoli.

be $40, 900 900.
