Search lights have become Indispensable
TO steamers of all classes, and I'm military
and naval operations. BY their use objects
miles away can be revealed and Illuminated
in the darkest nights. and their powerful
beams Of light can be thrown in any direc-

the search light in marine work was to YES
sells passing through the Suez canal For
merly the passage could be made only in
daylight, and was very tedious and costly:
now the electric light is at the service Of
every ship as IL enters the canal, and the
journey is. in nearly every case, pursued
uninterruptedly. A most excellent innova-
ton has been made by the Suez canal au-

be obligatory after October / next on all
vessels passing through the canal by night,
to employ an apparatus for dividing the
