DEFINING, the Melbourne MUIR
derer, will enter very novel line of
defense in the endeavor to escape the
hangman's moose which he has so
richly deserved. His defense will be
that owing to prenatal influences

the trial will be watched with
augmented interest on this account
and the verdict awaited with no little
curiosity.

gill of coal oil an hour, gives about as
much light rs an ordinary parlor read
ing lamp (say ~ candle-power), while
the largest or first-ordcr lamp, which
burns 10 gills an hour, gives
$50 candlc-powcr of light. But
while the naked flame of the lamp
gives this much light, the French
Fresnel lens in which the lamp is set
condenses and concentrates this light.

times. Thus the little 12 candle-power
flame of the siXth-ordcr lamp has in a.
lens power of as candles, and the great
$50 candle-powcr light of the first-order
lamp, when placed in its enormous lens,
gives power of some $4,000 candles
Such lens is twelve feet high and has
diameter of six feet.
The light houses are built of stone,
brick or iron. Many, and especially
the smaller ones in harbors, BAYS and

There are some $50 lights on the coast
OF the Atlantic and the gulf of Mexico,
$50 on the Pacific coast and some $50 on
our great lakes. The LOCO Inexpensive
lights on our western rivers have rcvo-
lutionized steamboat navigation, MAX
ing it as safe to run by night us by day.
These river lights consist simply of q
lantern fixed to post, and costing
about $40 each, while it costs on the
average not more than S1GO u year each
to maintain them.
There are, says Harpcr's Young Pco,
pie, three classes of lighthouscs-the
primary sea-coast lights, which marin
crs make for in coming from across the
waters; the secondary sca-coast and
lake-coast lights, by which vessels find
their way by night along our coasts;
and the sound, bay and harbor lights
Each of these lights consists of lamp
set in q lens inside of n lantern which
crowns tower. There are six orders
