BARNGGAT's BIG BEACON.
Will Have the Most Powerful Light
In the World.

E Al thC SVOIIAs
An electric light of $500, 900 candle power
will soon shed its warning rays from the top
of Barnegat Lighthouse, and when in work
ing order will be the strongest light on any
sea coast of the world. 1t was exhibited at
the Worlds Fair at Chicago, and was pur-
chased by the Government to be placed on
Fire Island Light, Long Island. The light
ship off Fire Island made this unnecessary,
however. and it was determined to place the
light at the next most important spot on the
coast, which was decided by the Government
to be Barnegat.
The present light there is 165 feet above
the level of the sea, and can be seen, under
ordinary circumstances, 10 nautical miles.
The new light will, it is expected, be seen
not only a great deal further, but by reason
of its great strength, viii be abls to pere-
trate haze and fogs, and thus warn mariners
that they are approaching a dangerous
coast.
The present light flashes white every ten
seconds, and it is probable the new light will
have the same characteristics.
