Ar AUTOMATIC LIGHTHOUSE.
There Is No Keeper, but the Bright Light
Blazes Perpetually.


A remarkable lighthouse is the one
which sheds It's warniugra from an es
tuary Of the Gironde, III France. where II
stands upon an isolated rock III a.te nidst
of a treacherous reef. TIN pecuhniiv of
this lighthouse is that IL ls unoceupied,
and yet its lamp is bnrning perpei Tally.
The famous Eddystone lieht on the eoa-t
of England rising from a rock taal =
only large enough to afford foua iat1on
for the structure, is remarkable because
the men having it in charge are able 10
leave their confined quarters only once
in three months, when vessel comes To
them with supplies, letters, papers and a
new detachment of watchers.
1t was to do away With this exacting
and lonesome life that the French ensi-
neers set lurmselves about the task of
devising method by which the useful
ness of the lighthouse could he main-
tained without so much personal atten-
ton. 1t thus happened that Il lamp was
invented that would burn continuously
for two months without being trimmed
or replenished.
The burning fluid used in this lamp Is
an ordinary mineral oil. Tie lHbe in the
interior Of the lamp Is furnished with a
wick having thickness ihfae times a7
great as those employed generally IN
lighthouses. Around the anrning snr-
face of the wick is cake nude Of Il PIT

DANGER IN THE SCHOOLS.

Pres. Eliot of Harvard Calls for Ger
tain Improvements-Wh Many Pa
rents Now Fear the Public Schools.
No wonder school children creep like
snails unwillingly to school, and go
storming out at playtime.
Five long hours in a crowded, ma
lodorous schoolroom severely tax the
nervous systems of teachers and scholars.
Proper ventilation without drafts is a
difficult, unsolved problem. Drowsiness,
headaches and other effects of bad air
show themselves.
Observe the listless, exhausted air, the
pale faces of scholars about closing time
A prominent physician, speaking OF
Pres. Eliot's timely criticism of our
grammar schools, says: Our public
schools are exhausting the vitality of
our children
For children and all persons closely
confined during the winter in shops,
stores and schools, who are weak, sickly
and out of sorts, true blood and nerve
tonic is the only thing that will restore
the color of health to their checks and fill
out their frames. | have found Paine's
celery compound the best adapted to
these cases of lowered vitality and lack
of nervous tone"
Paine's celery compound has saved
hosts OF overworked school teachers
and scholars from nervous prostration.
1t supplies Just what the tired, worn out
nervous system requires. Men and
women who barely produce sufficient
nervous energy to last them through the
day find that Paine's celery compound
supplies them with abundant nervous
force, stops headaches, banishes sleep
lessness and debility. decided feeling
of added strength and encouragement
comes with the use of this great remedy,
A genuine food for under-fed nerves,
that will also give tone to the stomach,
will soon enable the sick person to dis
card ali medicines and be well and
strong Such a remarkable remedy is
Paine's celery compound. 1t is the life's
study and experience of one of the ablest
physicians OF his day, member of the
faculty al Dartmouth College, Prof. Ed
ward E. Phelps. M, D., LII. D.
Paine's celery compound is not a
patent medicine; it is not sarsaparila;
it is not a bitters or nerve tonic; it is
not ordinary nervine; 1T is as far be-
yond these as a crystal is superior to
piece of chalk in purity and value
Says Prof w. c Ridgway, principal of
the famous Jackson school in Kansas
City:
Il have used Paines celery compound,
and think it is the best medicine that
have ever known. Besides, | have re-
commended it's use to several friends,
who have used it with much satisfaC-
ton"
