Ancient Lie h thousss.

Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to safe harbor must
have been almost coeval VITA the
record that lighthouses were built in
ancient times, though few evidences
remain to us from old writer's or in
crumbled ruins This is not strange,
for light towers, never the most sta
BILE architectural form, were exposed
to.the storms of sea and war.
The Greeks attributed tho first
lighthouses to Hercules, and lie was
considered the protector of voy ayers.
1t is claimed by some that Homer
refers to lighthouses in the XIX.
book CT the Iliad.
Virgil mentions light on i tenn
pie to Apollo, which, visible far out
at sea, warned and guided mariners.
The Colossus ut Rhodes, erected
about 300 b. c., is said to have shown
u signal light from its uplifted hand.
The oldest towers known were
built by the Libyans in Lower Egypt.
They were temples also, ard the
lightkeeper priests taught pill otage,
photography and navigation. The
famous tower on the Isle OF Pharos,
Mt Alexandria, built about 2S5 years
b. c., Is the first lighthouse Ct un-
doubted record. This tower con-
structed by Sostratus. the architect.
was square in plan, Of greaC height
and built in offsets. An open brazier
at the top Of the tower contained the
fuel for the light. At Dover and
Boulogne. on either side of the,
English Channel, were ancient light
houses, built by the Romans. But
the lighthouse at Corrunna, Spain.
built In the reign Of Trajan, and re-
constructed in 1884, is believed to
be the oldest existing lighthouse.

HILLMoN LOCKED UP.
He IL Captured After Chase Exteu
ing All Over the Globe.

He IL Captured After a Chase Extend
ing All Over the Globe.
Among the Huachucas mountains,
about forty miles from Tucson, A. T., a
man was arrested for whom the authori-
ties have been looking for years. He Is
John Hillmon, and his capture recalls one
of the most remarkable cases In the an
nails of crime. In 1870 Hillmon and two
companions, one of them resembling him
very closely, took trip into the Buffalo
mountains of Texas to hunt. They were
gone several weeks. and when Hillmon
and one companion returned, the man
bearing SO striking n resemblance to him
failed to accompany them. 1t seems that
Hillmon, who carried insurance on his
life of $4,000, while in the mountains
conceived a mIrderous scheme and killed
In cold blood the man who 80 closely re-
sembled him. On his return he took the
name of the man whom he had murdered,
saying that Hillmon had been accidently
shot and buried in the mountains. In due
time Mrs. Hillmon made claim on the
life insurance companies in which her
husband had been insured for 10000.
The insurance people became suspicious.
The remains of the man whom Hillmon
had murdered were exhumed and 1t was
then discovered that they were not the
remains of Hillmon. Mrs. Hillmon insti-
tuted legal proceedings to recover the
amount of insurance. The case was car
ried from one court to another until final
ly she secured judgment for the principal,
interest and attorneys fees in the Su-
preme Court of the United States. Dur
ing all this time the insurance companies
kept detectives on the trail of Hillmon,
