THE adage OF the prophet has been
also the maxim OF tho world. In all
callings in life there is a demand for
obedience as the first and absolutely
necessary qualification. There is a
yoke ut school. il the school be worthy
OF its name; there is yoke to be
passed under as the doorway to every
profession and every work OF life; and
it is noticeable that the men who have
the most thorough training. whether
formal or informal, make the best
leaders tho best masters the best
commanders 1t is good that a man
should be well disciplined in his youth
not in tho sense OF cruelty or harsh :
ness. which reproduce themselves but
in tho sense of orderliness and self
management.

Interesting Facts Concerning Those
Torches Of the Sea.
There are some 75O lights on the
coast OF the Atlantic and on the Gulf OF
Mexico 1870 on the Pacific coast and
some 280 on our Great Lakes. The
1000 Inexpensive lights on our
Western rivers have revolutionized
steamboat navigation. making 1t as
safe to run by night as by day. These
river lights consist simply OF . lantern
fixed to post and costing about SO
each, while it costs on the average
not more than $3.50 a year each to
maintain them.
There are three classes Of light
houses-tne primary sea-coast lights
which mariners make for in coming
from across the waters; the secondary
saa- 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 a lamp set in a lens
inside OF lantern which crowns
tower There are six orders OF lights
graded according to their intensity.
The lamp OF the lowest or sixth order,
which consumes only half u gill Of
coal-oil an hour gives about as much
light as an ordinary parlor reading
lamp (say II candle-power). while
the largest or frst-order lamp which
burns 10 gills an hour gives 400
candle power Of light But while the
naked flame of the lamp gives
this much light the French Fresnel
lens in which the lamp is set con-
denses and concentrates this light SO
that it is multiplied in power many
times Thus the little l2-candle-
power flame of the sixth order lamp
has in lens power OF 70 candles;
snd the great 400 candle power light
of the first-order lamp when placed
in its enormous lens gives u power OF
scme ~ COO candles. Such II lens is
II feet high and has diameter of
feet.
The lighthouses are built OF stone
brick or iron states Harper's Young
People. Many. and especially the
smaller ones in harbors bays and
sounds. are built on the land. Some
times the light is placed in the cupola
of u house. Generally. however. it
has a tower TO itself adjoining the
house. In either case the light keeper
may have his family with him. and
often there is attached TO the station
u plot of land, where he can keep his
COW. and even his horse, and have his
garden But when the lighthouse is

several years before
"One instance OF this fact Is the in

The inventor. while on a visit TO
the seashore. noticed that the glass in
those windows which fronted the
beach OF the place Mt which he was
stopping was dulled in some peculiar
way. He made inquiry and found
that this was caused by the clouds OF
sand which the winter storms drove
against the exposed panes.
The sand blast resulted from this
little bit of trivial information and
the man who utilized it is ut present

possesses numerous ducats
"A second example is that OF the
rural gentleman who found his watch

After scraping it out he sat down TO
