counting new lights,
Congress seems disposed to increase its eff

the first ever built, are nearly finished. Each
Of them will have an electric plant on board
and eight electric fash lights, controlled by an
Intermittent current; also a search light for
sweeping the sea at night, steam windlass and
q steam fog whistle. II is soon to be arranged

more brilliant than any hitherto discovered,
which is produced by automatic explosions OF
magnesium. Being the whitest artificial light
