stout craft which waged the greatest
sea fight OF all time
Ships Of European peoples have been
for centuries finding their way 10 the
floor of the ocean. Probably over l0O,-
600 vessels have met this tate since the
time when our race first began to
spread throughout the world. Yet by
far the greatest part Of these have
fallen upon the shadows near the
shore. where the swift currents and
rapidly moving debris are likely 10
aid in their destruction and burial.
How swiftly they disappear In these
conditions may be judged by the expert
ence Of the diver who has sought for
sunken treasures. Almost invariably
after hundred years or SO have passed,
they find that the craft is quite lost
to sight. Far more money has been
spene in such explorations than mas
been won from them.
Curiously enough, the most perma-
nent records Of mans empire of the
seas are being written in the ashes
from the coal-fed fires Of the steam
ships. This waste is in Its nature in

teal information necessary to a clear
Understanding Of the lighthouse sys-
tenn. The examinations extended INTO
the construction Of towers. dwellings,
and illuminating apparatus inclnded
careful investigation OF the manner IN
which keepers performed their duties;
OF the ability and fidelity OF the In
spectors; of the mode OF supplying the
establishment with oil and other stores.
and OF the method Of making contracts
and testing supplies. II contras;ed our
methods with the lighthouse adminls-
tratlon OF Great Britain and France.
Every source OF reliable information
seems to have been explored to reach
a true estimate OF the merits and de-
fects of our system. The board recon-
mended that the lights be CLASSIFIED
after the French method, In orders,
to be followed by a system of designn-
ton The orders running from one TO
six would Indicate the magnitude or In
tenslty of the light--thc FIRST order be
ing the largest. The designation would
define its characteristic, as iixed, Hash
ing, revolving, red white, or COM
bination Of those qualities. Then II
recommended the general adoption OF
the Fresnel lenticular system OF lllu-
minatlng apparatus, In place Of the
old system Of illumination by the
Argand lamp and parabolic reflector
And It also recommended more vigor-
Gus administration OF the establish
men. and to that end the erection OF
n board much after the Fronvh plan,
which should combine in It all the
scientific experience necessary to the
highest success in illumination, con-
struction. photography. engineering,
knowledge Of the needs OF commerce,
and especially OF administration.

The lighthouses on the New England
coast wcro constructed previous TO

wooden frame towers erected upon

Many improvements In the methods

overcome by the application OF mod

Fancy has depicted these vessels as
