charg 0gO flashes; and thus is
obtained 6he distinctive light of the
! Eddystone. The two drums are
superimposed, with a lamp in each,
SO thatSin foggy weather, when both
act together a double lighting power
is procurable.
The monotonous round of duties
carried on day by day so far away
from their fellow men invariably in
duces, after the first month, acute
depression Of spirits, the attack last
ing from twelve to twenty -four hours,
and, work being temporarily impossi-
BILE, the sufferer remains in his berth
until the sickness mOderateS, his
mates filling his duties meanwhile.
Every month weather permitting a
relieving vessel goes out to the light
house, taking the man who has had
his month ashore and returning with
the keeper who has completed his
three months, but it frequently hap
pens that the weather upsets their
calculations, when communication by
signal alone can be effected. In fine
weather each man is on duty four
hours and eight hours off, but when
the atmosphere is thick there is
double duty to perform, two men be-
ing on watch at the same time.
At dusk the lamp is lighted, SO |
accompany the keeper into the inte-
rior of the glass drum, and observe
how, with a spring grip, he raises
the lamp chimney and ignites the
wicks; but, being still daylight, the
illumination is not brilliant, although
it increases in brightness as night
comes on. The next proceeding is
to wind up the gear which rotates
the drums, and, as the weight to be
lifted is equal to a ton, and the opera
tiOn lasts about an hour, it is some
what fatiguing.
On fine summers day it is de-
lightfully quiet in the lantern; but
there are times, as the fury of the
tempest beats upon the massive tower
and the binding flash of lightning
permeates every apartment, when
the men in their solitude cannot fail
to be impressed by the mighty power
and majesty of natures forces. 1t
was a terrible experience, ever to be
remembered by the lightkeepers,
when, on the night of the blizzard in
March, 1891, the lantern was partly
imbedded in snow, entirely obscuring
the light on one side and effectually
blocking up the exit. The storm
was of such severity that nothing
could be done to clear away the OBJ
struction till the next morning, when
the tempest had abated.

Guides the Mariner.

Guides the Mariner.
OF all lighthouses the most familiar
is the noble structure which proudly
rars its head above the dangerous
HdYstonc rock, on the English
coast The earliest intimation of a
lighthouse on the Eddystone dates
back as far as 1864, when the propos-
al was made by Sir John Corryton and
Henry Rrunker, but nothing further
tanSpircd regarding the scheme.
The first lighthouse was built by
Henry Winstanley, who began his
difficult task in 1896 and completed
it four years later. The structure
was of wood, and Winstanley soon
discovered that it was not strong
enough to withstand the terrible
storm which roll in from the ATTAIN
tic Accordingly he remodeled and
strengthened it considerably, and it
being intimatcd to the architect that
the lighthouse would certainly be
oycrsct, he replied that he should
only wish to be there in the greatest
storm that ever blew, in order to see
its effect upon the structure. His
wish was gratitfed, for dreadful
tempest ragged in 1903, while he and
his workmen and lightkeepers were
in the building, which carried away
the lighthouse and its inmates, and
all pcriShcd in the sea, the only sign
remaining being the larger irons
whereby the work was fixed to the
rock, 1T is regarded by the Strand
Magazine rs very remarkable that at
the same time this catastrophe hap
Fned the model lighthouse at Win

How Nature Makes silver,

The process by which nature forms
such Accommodations OF silver are very
interesting. 1t must be remembered
that the earth's crust is full OF
water, which percolates everywhere
through the rocks, making so. u
tions of elements obtained from
them These chemical solutions
take up small particles OF the
precious metal which they find scat
tered here and there. Sometimes
the solutions in question are hot, the

of the glate. Then they rush ap-
ward. picking up the bits OF metal
as they go. Naturally, heat assists
the performance Of this operation
Now and then the streams thus
formed, perpetnally flowing hither
and thither below ground, pass
through cracks or cavities in the
rocks. where they deposit their loads
Of silver. This is kept up for a
great length Of time. perhaps thou

meating the stony mass in every di-
rection may become filled with the
metal. or occasionally chamber
may be stored full of it. as if a

treasure from all sides and hiding
away a future bonanza for some
lucky prospector to discover in
another age. Minerals.

Chairman Hackett; OF the New York
State republican executive committee,
that owing to the condition of Mrs.
Harrison's health it would be impossi-

templated through the northern and
central parts Of the State. This con

but within the past few days an added
complication has developed in Mrs

now is such as toexcite much solicitude
and to prevent the Presidents absence

TIE POTOMAC VALLEY.
BARTERINa IN PASSES,

The Potomac Valley Railroad, d
branch Of the Western Maryland Rail.
road. extending from Williamsport,
Md, to Cherry Run, on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, was formally open
ed for passenger traffic yesterday. The
offers and board Of directors Of the
Western Maryland Railroad, together
with large number Of especially in
vited guests yesterday afternoon went
over the road on tour Of inspection.
Aregular time Of schedule also went in.
to effect yesterday, and henceforward
trains, both passenger and freight, win
be run at regular hours over the new
line.
This road is strickly a mainline ex-
tension Of the Western Maryland Rail-
road from Willlamsport, Nd, to Cher
ry Run, which latter point is upon the
main stem Of the Baltimare and Ohio
Railroad, thirteen miles west Of Mar
tinsburg, and sixty-miles east of Cum
berland. Byits construction, theroute
for the interchange Of freight traffic,
consisting largely Of anthracite and
bituminous coal. between the Balti-
more and the Philadelphia and Read
ing systems through the Cumberland
Valley. is shortened forty miles.
A neat and comfortable passenger
station, with commodious waiting
rooms, also transfer shed for freight,
and water tank and turn table, have
already been erected at Cherry Run,
while work upon an engine house is
now progressing. West Of the station,
where the new road and the Baltimore
and Ohio run side by side for over half
mile, there are eight parallel tracks.
five of which compose the yard upon
which the Interchange Of freight bust
ness is made.
The Potomac Valley will form
very attractive line for travel as inn
mediately after crossing the Conoco-
cheague at Williamsport, it begins a
gradual ascent of the high bluffs Of the
Potomac until sufficient elevation is
reached to pass from the river gorge to
the comparatively level districts lying
south Of Clear Spring, thus cutting off
the big bends in the river, while from
a point q mile east Of McCoy's Ferry,
it begins the descent towards the river,
and follows its course thence via old
Fort Frederick, point Of great his
torical interest, to the Big Pool, an
artificial lake about two miles in
length, formed in the construction Of
the canal to Ernstville Chg Pool Sta
tion), where the river is crossed to
Cherry Run, West Virginia.

Messrs. Hoffman Summers, Robert
Shuttlework and DIR. Blair, of Clarks-
burg, w. Va, have come to this city
and established in the Gerling build
ing on West King street an Institute
where all addicted to the liquor and
morphia habits will be received and
treated. The method Of treatment
and prescriptions used are nearly SINH
lar to those employed in the Keely in
stitutes. From three to twenty-one
daysis the length of time required to
cure the worst inebriate or the most
confirmed morphia eater. 1t will be
known as the Blair Institute, DIR. Blair
being the physician in charge. 1t has
no connection with the one at Clarks-
burg, being entirely independent and
the gentlemen propose establishing
branches throughout the country.
While the institute was only establish
ed here yesterday, two patients are
under treatment and eight or ten are
expected to arrive..from different parts
of West Virginia this week.

CHOLERA SCARE IN PENNSYLVANIA

PITTsBURG, Sept. ia United
Press reporter has just returned from
Jeanette, Pa, where it was reported
that a well defined case of Asiatic
cholera had developed and claimed its
victim this afternoon. The reporter
found much excitement in the foreign
ers' quarters of the town, and much i'm
dignation among the citizens in gener-
al, but no cholera. Among the recent
arrivals of Belgium glass workers were
Peter Leroy and wife, each about fifty
years of age. They had recently sailed
from Antwerp. Last Friday Mrs. Lee
roy was taken suddenly i'll, and not
until to-day was she able to be out Of
her bed, DIR. Hugh Henry, who at
tended the woman, informed the re-
porter that his patient had passed
through a severe attack Of cholera NOR
bus, but was now certain Of recovery.
How the cholera scare got abroad, the
physician could not say, unless it was
through the ignorance or misunder-
standing of the interpreter.
Greensburg evening papers printed o
story to the effect that seven deaths
Mad already occurred at Jeanette.
This unfounded publication has created
intense excitement and in Jeanette
equal Indignation.

They defy the governor and the State

common rights justify them in

cholera. They intimidated the pilot
so that he refused to bring in the Cep-

Surf hotel unless the attempt to use it
for quarantine station is abandoned.
Twenty of the men have been sworn
