ONE prolific cause of disaster to
ocean vessels is likely to be obviated
before long. That is, the difficulty
that mariners experience in seeing or
distinguishing coast lights on stormy
or foggy nights. Many wrecks on
the Long Island and New Jersey
shores have resulted from this cause.
But electric science is bring relief.
1t has been demonstrated that light
houses are practical with electric ap-
paratus capable of projecting light a
distance equal to several hours sail
OF average craft. A lighthouse is
about to be erected at a point on the
northwest coast OF France that will
illustrate the wonders of the new
method. 1t will contain what is
termed a lightning flash" of forty
million candle-p0wer, and will cast
beam chat in clear weather can be
seen sixt:-three miles away. Even
in foggy weather it is expected to be
visible at distance of tweuty-one
miles.

HIS TOMB ALONE REMAINS.

| All that Il Left of the Great Barbarian
Ruler. Theodore.
At the city Of Ravenna, Italy, Still
stands the tomb Of Theodore, sur
named the Great, and founder OF the
Ostrogothic monarchy, which COM
prised Italy, Sicily, southeastern
France, Rhapia, Noricum, Pannon1a
and Dalmatia. In 4SS Theodore set
out with a huge army from Pannonia
to carve out kingdom for himself
in Italy. Odoacer was the reignln2
monarch of Italy, but he could not
maintain his own against the Marcy
and warlike Ostrogoths, and finally
ne was forced to surrender in the city
of Ravenna Ultimately he was put
to death and THEODORE assumed the
title of King. Under Theodore
Italy prospered, and the royal court
became the center of learning and
politeness Through well-advised al
liances Theodore held in check the
barbarians of Western Europe.
Though an uneducated barbarian he
ruled his subjects justly and pro-
NOTED agriculture and commerce I'M
til Italy became again the leading
nation of the world. Toward the
end of his reign he prosecuted the
Catholics for their cruel treatment in
the East of the Arians, to which
sect he belonged. The greatest bot
upon his name was the putting 10
death of two eminent men- BoethiuS
and Symmachus-wh he falsely
believed had conspired against him.
Theodore died at sRavenna in 500,
and was buried in a beautiful maus-
cleum. Subsequently, after the over
throw of Gothic authority in Italy,
his ashes were scattered to the four

Danger in Cranes.

There is probably no more delicious

THERE seems to be a reform needed
IN mems attire, but no one is willing
to make the first innovation. The
dress coat Of society, for instance, is
a ridiculous garment, but who would
dare to go into society without it?
As for the civilized trousers it is as
absurd and hideOus piece of raj
ment as could well be imagined, but
what kind of attire could take it's
place? He would indeed be a bold
man who would walk the streets
without trousers, wearing instead the
Highlander's kilt or the more classic
toga. TO wear either garment in the
bleak northern winter would be a
trial OF physical courage which very
few modern men could stand.

How to Play Golf.

For centuries past the game Of golf
has been the national pastime in
Scotland. 1t is also very popular in
England and Canada, and Americans
are slowly learning to WELD the golf
club. Golf grounds are called links,
and are open downs, bordered by rough
country. Three miles is a popular
length for golf course, although
some courses are five miles, They
are usually circular, like a race
course, so that several games may be
played at the same time, one set of
players following another with suf-
Gent interval between them so that
they will not conflict.
A small gutta-percha ball and from
three to seven clubs of different STYLES
are used by each player These clubs
are carried by the players caddie, or
attendant, who also officiates as ad-
wiser, The necessary clubs are two
wood clubs, the driver and the put
ter, and one iron club, the cleek or
lofter, for work on rough or sandy
soil.
The starting point of golf course
is called the teeing ground, and is
designated by two marks across the
course and at right angles with it.
The tee is the slight elevation from
which each side strikes its ball at the
opening Of the game. From nine to
eighteen holes, lined with iron and
four inches across, are sunk in the
course from one hundred to four hun
dred yards apart. Eighteen holes
is the usual number. but nine may be
used II the course is short one.
These holes are placed in the center
OF a level stretch of green about
sixty feet square, called the putting
green, and the location Of each hole
Is indicated by flag, which is taken
from the hole when the players ap-
prQach.
In golf singles one person PLAYS
against another, in foursomes two
persons contest against an equal
number of opponents. the partners
playing alternately. In golf matches
an expert player contests against two
or more opponents.
Golfing is begun at the teeing
ground, near the first hole, by each
side striking the ball toward the Sec
ond hole. The club alone may be
used in moving the ball, and stroke
after stroke is played by one side
after another until one side puts it's
ball in the first hole. The PLAYER or
side that puts the ball in with the
least number Of strokes wins the hole.
If both sides hole their balls with the
same number of strokes, each player is
credited with half the hole. The
players then proceed from hole to
hole until the circuit of the course is
made, when the side that has won
the most holes is declared the winner.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY.
1t IL . Most Agreeable and Instructive
Pastime.

1t IL . Most Agreeable and Instructive
Pastime.
Among the most pleasant occupa-
tions of the hour is amateur photog-
raphy. 1t not only combines in
struction and pleasure, but profit az
we'll, and its pursuit is being and
should be encouraged. One great
objection in the past has been that
the apparatus was too expensive and
the arrangements for developing the
pictures too complicated, but the in
PRODUCTION Of the dry plate process
and the reduction of the cost OF the
apparatus have greatly overcome the
objection. A camera that will do
good work can be purchased for ten
dollars; for it is not the cost of the
apparatus that secures satisfactory
results, but the skill and patience OF!
the photographer. For common SER
vice the three and one-fourth by four
and one-fourth inch camera is the
best. The plates are much cheaper,
than the larger size, costing forty
five cents per dozen; then the appa- +;
ratus is far more portable than the,
larger cameras. The light out Of
doors being better than in the house,
pictures are simpler taken outside
than indoors, says Farm and Fire
side. Never photograph with the
camera facing the sun-it fogs the
plate. A little experience will show
about the amount of exposure neces-
sary in the various lights. In the
house quite little ingenuity in ar
ranging the light is necessary, for
larger exposure is needed. A skylight
is the hest, but when not Obtainable
mirrors can be used to reflect the
light on to the subject and overcome
the shadows. In a fairly lighted
room with quick plate at least four
seconds Of exposure will undoubtedly
be needed. In photographing OBJ
jects that are stationary, fine effect
is produced by giving a lengthy ex-
posture, forty minutes to day at
times. Plates must be developed in
a dark room, but for printing the sun
is needed. The best pictures are
produced by exposure in the morning
and afternoon rather than in the
middle Of the day. What is very
much better than for amateurs to
attempt the making of it, is to buy
silvered or sensitized paper from some
photographer. "Ferro. prussiate" pa
per after printing only requires wash
ing. The silver should be left all
night in water. Procure the aid Of a
photographer to show these processes
If possible. Use very thick paste
made from starch in mounting, and
while the picture is still wet is the
time to mount it. The negatives may
be preserved by coating them with
good white varnish.

the Elysee, where he had dwelt as
lord Of Fren;h taxes, with clean
hands. In the sternness of his
probity he resembled Washington.
He discharged the duties of his great
office in the spirit with which he en-.
tered upon them-a spirit embodied
in these memorable words to the
French Assembly in 1873: "a heavy
responsibility is thrust upon my pa.

the devotion of the army-which will
always be the army OF the law-and
the support Of all honest men we will

society is based" He never fell short
of entire devotion to this great ideal.

Anybody Can Ascertain Another's Age
by This Method.
There was once wise king who was
awfully curious. He was possessed of q
desire to know everything, and was
continually asking questions. Indeed,
his thirst for knowledge carried him so
far that he wanted to know the age of
every person he met But, being king,
he was exceedingly polite, and would
resort to strategy to gain his ends
One day there came to the court gray
haired professor, who amused the king
greatly. He told the monarch number
of things that he never know before, and
the king was delighted, But finally it
came to the point when the ruler wanted
to know the age of the professor, so he
though of mathematical problem.
"Ahean' said the king. 81 have an
interesting sum for you; it is trial in

The latest terror of society is the
peripatetic hypnotizer, who, accord
ing to the European newspapers,
seems to be creating widespread con-
sternation in England and on the
Continent. In London recently a
victim Of hypnotism applied to a pc.
lice magistrate for summons against
man whom he charged with having
caused him to reveal his confidential
family affairs at public house bar.
OF course, his application was re-
fused, since it is obvious shat neither
theft, fraud, imposition, libel nor as
sault could be accepted as the proper
designation OF such an incident. On
the Continent the danger appears to
be OF still more serious nature. A
man with fascinating eyes is reported
as haunting the Partisan Omnibuses,
and whenever he feasts his eyes on
gOod-looking young woman she i'm
mediately falls asleep. So numerous
are the charges OF this character
against him that the police are now
straining every nerve to capture him.
But it is difficult to say what can be
done with him when he is secured.
He can scarcely be guillotined, and
to place such an offender in confne-
ment would only be to invite him to
try his powers on his jailers. He
might even succeed in sending to
sleep the judge and the jury before
whom he was brought for trial. II
there is really anything in this new
form of the Evil Eye, it may become
a source of moral danger and crime,
and the law Of all civilized countries
will have to be amended in such a
manner as to grapple with it. In
the meantime it may serve as a fer
tile held for authors of comic operas
and screaming farces.
