70 GUIDE THE MARINER.
Six Thousand Lighthouses La the World
o OF Them Ia America.

The lighthouses of the world are in
round numbers 5000, with abot $50
lightships. OF these lights Europe has
Oceanica, Sl9; Africa, 219; South Amer
ica, 1869, and West Indies, LOG. The
coasts of the United States are illumi-
mated by 802 lights, distributed as fol-
lows: Atlantic coast, 467. gulf coast,
40; Pacific coast, SO, and The north
western lakes, 21S. OF these lights
thirty-two are displayed from light
ships, nearly all Of which are on the
Atlanti ccoaSt.
The most famous Lighthouse of which
history gives any record, says the
Boston Giobs, was the lighthouse OF
Pharos, on the eastern end OK the ISL
and of that name in the Bay of Alex
andria. 1t was begun by Ptolemy
Softer and was finished by his success
sor, Philabelphus. 1t is said to have
been 400 feet high and TO have cost
800 talents, equivalent to $l,240. 900.
The oldest lighthouse in the world
ia at Corunna, Spain. 1t was built in
the reign of the Emperor Trajan, and
in 1864 was reconstructed. England
and France have towers erected by
their Roman c%onquerors, which were
used as lighthouses. Contrasting them
with the light-towers that have been
built for the benefit of commerce we
see that the art of building has lost
nothing with the lapse OF time.
The great improvement OF the latter
towers over their predecessors is that
the stones Of each course are now
doye-tailed together laterally and YER
tically. Formerly metals or wooden
pins we're used or dependence placed
entirely in cement. The modern
method was first used at the Hanois
Rock light, on Guernsey. On the up

doye-tailed indentapions. The upper
and under dove-tails fall into each
other, and when the hydraulic cement

How Deaf flutes Dance.

a time regarded that as peculiar, for
few il any of the party could hear the
strains.
After a little thought, | solved the
mystery. The mutes could not hear
the music. but they felt it, which was
just MS efrectual. To be sure of the
matter, / spoke 10 the leader of the
orchestra, and he assured me that my
snrmiSe was correct, and that when he
was employed by the party it was ex-
pressly stipulated that he should
bring his biggest bass drum and bass
viols. The deep tones were more
MIGRATORY than the others, and the
mutes kept excellent waltz time by
feeling the vibration of the wood floor

able degree OF success. Bad boys are
sent to il instead of TO reform schools.
On the farm they are separated as far
~ possible into groups, in a number OF
cottages that have laen erected. The
idea is that in this way the boys may
bo subject TO the beneficial influences
of hons life. The household work in
each of these families is divided up
among the boys, who also work on the
farm or in shops. The same thing is
to be tried in Massachusetts,. A farm
