speck in the distance, and their beacon
seemed will-o'- ahe-wisp stranded.
Then it fell and was seen no more. The
fury of the waves had undermined the
pipe, and the fury of the wind had cast it
down, while water had rushed into the en-
larged assures. and the last spark had
gone out with an unheard sizzle.
The man who had thrust the pipe into
the fissure had purpose. 1t was not
to give the people of Bolinas something to
stare at nor set mariners to searching their
charts for a record of the light. They as
cribed the possibility of igniting the open
ing in the reef not to the pressure OF crude
petroleum, but to natural gas that is often
it's accompaniment. They knew that at Inc
discovery of such gas, factories and cities
had sprung into existence. They knew
that for heat and illumination when 1t caH
be had it is the cheapest medium ever dis
coverd.
The tube proved this theory, but the
reef is still untouched save by the sea fowl
and the careless foot of hunter and fisher.
To carry out the schemes that fitted
vaguely through their minds required
money, and this they lacked. So their
dream came to nothing, and the latent
wealth of the half submerged reef remains
in primal state to be buffeted by the tides
running in and out of Bolinas bay.-San

THE DuXBURY REEF.
A California Phenominon Of Singular

Curiosity of Bolinas Bay.
Looking across the tossing waters of Bo.
linas bay and away into the darkness that
hid the Pacific one stormy night, the peo-
pie of the little town that skirts the shore
saw in the gloom flaming beacon. They
watched it long and wondered. They
could catch the CLINT it threw upon the
rolling waves that appeared to dash up at
it, resenting its unwonted presence Still
it famed above Duxbury reef, the last
outline of which had disappeared at high
tide, held in the air by some mysterious
instrumentality. Then it vanished. The
darkness, swallowing up the beacon,
reigned supreme.
Duxbury reef is familiar to people who
seek the vicinity of Bolinas for. hunting
and fishing. 1t is not in the bay proper,
but farther out, where it catches the force
of the incoming breakers. Only when the
tide is low can the reef be fully explored.
Then it's somber rocks rise to almost the
height of dignity. AS the tide comes uI
the reef seems to sink into the pillows I'M
it's crest the waters pass unrestricted. The
same is true of many reef that mariners
know and fear, but this reef is not of the
common sort. 1t is not pile of rock cast
up only as menace, but it seems TO be
connected with the fires that glow at the
interior of the earth, vent for the mysteri-
Gus forces that press against the thin crust
of the globe and thunder in the vast
depths for exit
The strata are similar to those of the
mainland, being carbonaceous, interspers-
ed with igneous rocks. A sticky substane
exudes, that trickles down the little gull
lies, ever moving, but deliberate as tar.
This substance is infiammable The touch
of match would set it in blaze. But

it of the crude petroleum it would become

mighty torch and, as cliffs on the coast OF
England have done, might smolder for
ages.
There are human relics at Duxbury
reef. but they do not lend the strange spot
any air of cheerfulness At lowest tide
there are exposed the timbers of wreck,
and beneath them are believed to be the
bones of 10 seamen, who persisted when
the vessel went down. Perhaps they had
seen beacon. The siren of the reef may
lure by light instead of melody.

great. Martin Cronier. Chief of Fire
Department, District of Columbia, says:
Whatever success has been attained
in the fire service of Washington is due
more to the asphalt pavement, and the
facilities it affords IN promptly reaching
the scene of a fire, than to any other one
thing. In every respect consider the
asphalt pavement superior to any other
in reaching a fire - "There is
far less wear and tear to the running
gear of the engines, hose carriage and
stone blocks, conseq uently less liability
to break down or have accidents, ana
much better time is made III getting
over the road to fires" r "
There is also the traction of such
pavement to be considered. The follow
ing from an article on Resistance to
Traction on Roads, by Rudolph Herring,
president of the Engineers Club o.
Philadelphia, tells the story more con-
cisely than anything else the writer has
at his commands:
"If one horse can just draw a load on
level road on iron rails, it will take
one and two-thirds horses TO draw lG on
asphalt, three and one third on the best
Belgian block pavement, five on the or
binary Belgian. pavement, seven on good
cobble stones, thirteen on bad cobble
stones, twenty on an ordinary earth road
and forty on sandy road. Therefore,
a city paved with sheet asphalt will
save to itself and it's citizens from 200
to 300 per cent. of the cost, to it and and
them, of transporting passengers ana
goods, as compared with city paved
with blocks. This saving will in large
city amount to thousands of dollars
daily, and the yearly aggregate would
doubtless be large enough to pave the
city. 1t is saving, too, that affects ever
person residing or owning property IN
the city"
Let us follow in the steps of the more
progressive cities of New York, Buffalo,
Cincinnati and the like, and look into
this question of asphalt payment. and
see if it would not be true economy to
have some of our principal resident
streets with clean, noiseless pavement
rather than expend so much money an
nually in repairing our macadamized
streets. Ii.

these assures; they warm Inelr nahdS from
the bowels of the ocean; then comes flash
for their pipes. The fishermen do not asa
questions. There would be nobody to an
swer, and so long as the meal is we'll cook
ed and the pipe pulls satisfactorily they
do not care. They are not scientists, but
they accept the facts of nature with i'm
perturbable calm. They only know that
on Duxbury reef, where there is not fag-
OF or pound of coal, fuel is provided
without cost or trouble. They have only
to apply match to one OF the assures,
and steady blue fame appears.
They use it and do not take the trou BILE
to extinguish it. The waters do this for
them. If the reef were only higher, its
blue flame would be as perpetual as the
vestal fires of Rome or the "eternal fires"
of Baku on the Caspian. But the tide is
memorable. 1t drives the fisherman back
to his boat, and one by one it browns the
blue flames of his lighting.
There are traces of gold on Duxbury
reef. Once in awhile prospectors visit it,
and they never have trouble in finding col

mining. The wealth of the reef must in
all probability be found in some form OF
petroleum or the products of nature always
to be had where this material is abundant.
When a match at a assure in the earth
starts a blaze that can only be put out by
ducking, there is something worth lnvestl-
CATION.
All this does not explain the beacon that
fiared and sputtered during the storm on
Bolinas bay. A party of prospectors had
visited the reef. They had sat on its sterile
outposts and caught gamy fish, which
they fried over the assures. They had
marveled at the steady blaze, and in
wanton spirit of adventure had used
matches here and there till the deepening
twilight brought the reef into prominence.
It seemed like an isle wreathed and crown
ed in fire. The assures spurted fame. The
dripping petroleum became tiny cataracts
of flames. The very rocks glared with an
incipient heat that awed the visitors. They
feared that the reef would become torch
and themselves be consumed.
Yet there were bold spirits among them
inclined to experiment A piece OF iron
pipe was taken from the boat and driven
deep into a hole. The spouting flame ran
through it, and 12 feet higher than the
highest light this place of lights had ever
known new beacon saluted the growing
night and the gathering tempest. The
prospectors left the reef and made for the
shore. The tide climbed up and up. One
by one the fires expired with hiss and a
steamy jet, but above the reach of flying
surf the strange beacon remained 1t was

Indicated that at that time the Sirius rose
heliacally at the beginning of the rise of

This word heliacally requires little
explanation. The ancients, who had no
telescopes and had to use their horizon
as the only scientific instrument which
they possessed, were very careful in de-
ternlining the various conditions in
which star could rise. For instance, if
a star were rising at the Same time that
the sun was rising, it WAS said to rise
cosmically, but unless certain very obvi-
ous precautions were taken she rising
star would not be seen in consequence of
the presence of daylight.
1t is quite clear that if we observe
star ,ising in the dawn it will get more
and 2Aore difficult to observe the nearer
the time of sunrise is approached. There
fore what the ancients did was to deter
mine time before sunrise in the early
dawn at which the star could be very
obviously and clearly seen to rise. The
term "heliacally rising" was coined to
represent star rising visibly in the
dawn-therefore before the sun. Gener-
ally throughout Egypt the sun was sup
posed to be something like 10 dogs. be-

ENCAMPMENT AT FAIRVIEW.
State Militia Will Camp at the Park
This Summer-Strict Discipline.

Fairview Park has been chosen as the
location for the State military encamp-
ment this coming summer. 1t was deemed
advisable to choose a site easily accessible,
and Fairview furnishes all the requisites
in that direction. The theory is, possibly
that If the camp We're five or six miles
away from railroad the boys would come
to INDIANAPOLIS. many of them. and forget
to go back. On the other hand, the prox-
unity Of a railroad will make the tempta-
ton to get into the city a strong one and
hard to resist, and guard duty at the COM
ing camp will be something more than a
mere form. Stricter discipline than ever
before is to be enforced, however, and
men who overstay their leaves are to be
dealt with summarily The choice of Fair
view Park means immense crowds of WIS.,
itors during the week OF the encampment
for the additional attraction Of militiamen
will prove the strongest drawing card this
resort has ever had. The deal was closed
with the Citizens Street-railroad Company
yesterday, and. under the contract. the
company is TO do a good deal of the trans
portation free of charge. There VIII be
