A WONDERFUL LIGHT.
II will Give Illumination Equal to
About 1000, 900 Candles.

ADOut AOV,VVV,VUV
The idea Of an electric light which,
fed by a current from q dynamo actu-
ated by q forty horse power engine,
and giving 1000 candle power, a
have It's Illuminating power intensified
$1,000 times, is not easy to grasp. 1t
means the projection of q stream Of
light of about $50, 900, 900 candle pow.
or, and 1t is no wonder that the an
nouncement that such a light is about
to be used in this country has been re-
ceived with some incredulity In Europe.
Yet this is the efficiency of the light
which will be shortly erected at Fire
Ireland for the illumination of the ad-
jacent coast and the protection of the
fleet Of ships entering New York har-
Dor. A remote suggestion of the pow
or Of this lamp may be arrived at by
bearing in mind that an ordinary oil
lamp is about thirty eight or forty can-
die power, and then trying to imagine
the combined beam of 5000, 900 lamps.
The ordinary electric street light may
be put down at 100 candle power, and
ESQ., 900 Of these would about represent
the strength Of the Fire Island light.
The most powerful oil lamp yet made
is supposed to shine out on q clear
night for a distance Of thirty. five or
forty miles, but the new light will fash
rays to the incoming European liners
when they are 1870 miles away. The
light revolves rapidly and throws out
Its beams with the intensity of the
speed Of lightning. The motive power
which actuates 1t is a simple clock
work arrangement contained in q box
two feet square, and although the re-
volving portion of the light weighs If
teen tons, the mechanism controlling
1t Is 30 delicate that the pressure of two
fingers will turn 1t. The value of this
marvellous lamp car only be determin-
ed by practical working, but it prom
ises to represent an immense stride in
the science of coast lighthouse illumi-
nation.

The Tariff Outlook.

1t is urged In some high quarters Of
Democratic influence that, while their
brief term Of authority remains, the
Democrats should make haste to enact
q series of specific reforms In the tariff
which they have just put into opera.
ton. These amendments would in the
main take the form Of separate bills
adding various articles Of raw material
to the free list, and would deal partic.
ularly with sugar, coal and iron ore.
1t Is argued that il this could be accom-.
plished, the tariff would be left in a
position which neither party could well
alter for a period Of years. The princi.
pal argument against such a reopen
ing Of tariff legislation lies In the sen.
sitiveness Of the long suffering business
community. Commerce and trade are
shaping themselves to the new order Of
things, and do not want to be disturbed
even in the slightest measure by further
tariff changes. II Is to be believed that
Congress will respect this unanimous
sentiment that pervades the business
world, and will not attempt to alter the
existing tariff except as regards q few
typographical errors and other minor

LIKE MARBLE THOUGH ALIVE.
Attacked by Catalepsy While Standing
He Remained in That Attitude.

Dayton, o., Oct. 24.-One of the most re-
markable exhibitions of power and infu-
ence of cataIepsy, a form of hysteria that
contracts the muscles and divests the sub
ject of the sensation of volltion, occurred
in this city a few days since in which
Thomas Purdy, a laborer, was the sub
ject In company with several other
workmen Purdy was engaged in digging
a trench.
He was standing at the top of the trench
with long handled shovel removing the
gravel which a workman below threw to
the top, when with the suddenness of an
electric flash the man became transnxed
in position, as immovable as a piece Of
statuary. He was in the act of raising
the shovel when attacked. His right hand
tightly clutched the shovel handle near the
end and the left hand near the middle.
His left leg was advanced, and slightly
bent at the knee, while the blade of the
shovel pointed at an angle of about 30
degrees. His eyes were closed.
Every muscle of the 1.-THE and compact
ly built woI l1man was taut and rigid as
though constructed of iron. one of the
workmen who observed his condition got
out of the trench and attempted to re-
man. The shovel, though, was clutched
with an iron grip, and although he tugged
hard, he was unable to remove II from
the clutches of the possessor. The man $
feet were firmly planted on the ground as
though nailed. and he stood there as
rigid and motionless as a piece OF statu-
airy.
Physicians were summoned to the scene,
and the marvellous sight was witnessed
by hundreds of citizens Several unsuc-
cessful attempts to remove the shovel
| from his hands were made, when Police
| Captain Alaback, assisted by several Off
| GERS, succeeded in removing it from his
! grasp, although it seemed that they
would surely break off his fingers IN so
/ doing. The mans heart beat with the
/ ordinary pulsations. and the lungs were
! performing their vocation.
After the man had stood in this posi-.
| ton for over two hours he was picked NJ
! like n piece OF marble placed i'm the
/ patrol wagon, and conveyed TO a hospi-
! tai He remained in substantially the
| same condition for two whole days, during
