a Powerful Beacon Light to Be
Erected on tha French Coast.

The engineer in chief of the
French lighthouse service propose:
to Guido all previous achievements
in brilliant lighthouses by con,
structing a beacon-light with u Ian
tern of 46,0U0,0 00-candle power. II
has only been a few months since
this gentleman completed the most
powerful lighthouse, which, up to
that time, had been constructed. Il
is at the Cape of La Heve, less
than three miles from Havre, and
marks the northern entrance of the
estuary of the Seine. It's ilIumi-
mating power is equal to 100000
candles, and its light is visible at q
distance Of 140 miles in clear
weather.
The new lighthouse, which will
be located some ten miles from
Gu mper, at projecting headland
bearing the name of Penmarck, will
not send its light ray much farther
than that OF La Heve. The maxi
mum distance in clear weather will
be about $50 miles, but the inten-
sity of the pencil of light being
doubled, the amount Of light at the
same distance is likewise doubled
This enormous intensity II light
is obtained by an arrangement of
the lenses of the lamp. In the
ordinary lamp the lens-s, consist
ing of number of rectangular pan
els, are placed in steps in such a
manner that the source of light oc-
cupies the principal focus OF each
of them. The rays of light then
emanate from this part of the APP
paratus in horizontal pencil. By
reducing the number of panels the
quantity of light received by each
Is consequently correspondingly in
creased.
At La Heve there are four pan
els, the total light emitted by the
lamp being triple the amount re-
ceived in apparatus with twelve
panels. 1t is proposed in the new
lighthouse to employ but two pan
els, each of them occupying u half
square. Each lens will, therefore,
receive half of the total light emit
ted by the lamp and consequently
will emit a pencil of rays of a power
double that furnished at La Heve.
Like the lighthouse at La Heve,
the new lighthouse will be lighted
by electricity. The lamp Will b,-
fed by an alternating current of
100 amperes at its maximum

" FAT doctor bills make lean wills" but
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy costs less than
one doctors visit. Catarrh is loathsome,
dangerous disease, and the time has come
when TO suffer from it is disgrace. No per
son OF culture and refinement cares to in
hict upon his friends his offensive breath,
disgusting hawking and splitting and dis
agreeable efforts to breathe freely and clear
the throat and nose-hence the cultured and
refined use DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
And no wise and prudent man cares to run
the risk of leaving his family without pro-
tector. by letting his "slight catarrh " run
into serious or fatal throat and lung

Sages Catarrh Remedy. The proprietors
tive properties that they have made a

Possessed of Excellent Habits.

A fond parent residing in small
New York state village wrote recently
to an old friend of his, Worth street
merchant of this city, making inquiries
regarding the habits of his son, who
was in the old merchants employ.
II trust he keeps good company,
the letter said, land is cultivating no
bad habits. Do you know where he
sleeps at night?"
To this the merchant replied: II do
not know where he sleeps at night. But
don't worry yourself on that score.
From the amount of sleeping he does
in the store in the daytime I'll warrant
he gets sufficient rest. New York

The "Second Samson"

Richard Joy, who died May IS, 174e,
at the age Of 81 and is buried in the st.
Peters churchyard, isle of Thanet,
Kent, England, was known throughout
Europe as the "Kentish Hercules, - OF
the Second Samson When but a
youth of II years, he was invited to
London by the king to give an exhibit
ton in remarkable feats of strength.
Among the feats of his more mature
years was that Of breaking, with his
hands and feet, rope with a tensile
strength Of 85 hundredweight and the
lifting Of 2,200 pounds. The following
is copy Of his epitaph:
Herculean herol famed for strength,
At last lies here-his breadth and length.
See how the mighty man is fallenl
To death the strong and weak are all one;
The Same Judgment doth befall

Poisonous and Harm1ess spake..

There is a certain physiological diff
erence between the poisonous and harm
less snakes, which exists very plainly in
their manner Of dentition. All snakes
are objects of aversion and dread to
mankind, SO much so that to be bitten
by snake has at times been so fearful
to the victim as to have produced death,
although the snake was harmless. Such
is the instructive dread with which these
reptiles are thought of. that it may be
desirable to have some easy mode Of
distinguishing the one kind from the
other. This distinguishing characters
tic is afforded by the teeth. In all pois-
onous snakes there are only two rows Of
teeth, the fang or fangs being ar
ranged either within the two rows or
outside of them. The harmless snakes
have four distinct rows Of teeth, and
when the bite shows this kind of wound
and not any single deeper or larger
puncture there need be no apprehen.

Waves on the Great Salt Lake.

A strong gale of wind was blowing
over the lake and driving its surface
into low, white capped ridges, while
along the shore the foam lay like fiat
banks Of new fallen snow. If it had
passed across lake of fresh water Of
equal extent, that wind would unques-
tionably have produced such an agita-
ton Of its surface that navigation in
small boats would have been difficult
if not highly perilous.
But the waters of the Great Salt lake,
although driven into ridges as just re-
marked, showed curious resistance to
the wind and the waves, rising to only
slight elevation, moved along with an
appearance of lethargy that the eye
could not but notice.
Yet there was an immense momentum
stored up in those low, heavy, slow
moving waves. Venturing into the
water at point where the depth did
not exceed four feet, the observer found
that it was impossible to stand against
them. Their sheer weight swept him
resistlessly along.
The curious buoyancy Of the water,
containing 90 per cent of salt in solu-
ton, increased the helplessness of the
bather. He was not submerged, as some
times occurs in the Atlantic breakers,
but was lifted and carried like cork.
It would probably have been. impos-
sible to dive through an oncoming wave
after the manner practiced by bathers
along the Atlantic coast. In the Great
Salt Lake people are not drowned through
sinking, but strangled while still afioar.
The bitter water may enter the air pass
ages with fatal effect, but the body con-
tinues to float until it reaches the shore
or is picked up.-Youth's Companion.
