We know that God doeth all things
we'll, that even the finest insect known
to natural history has not been created
~ without purpose, but despite this fact
we at times find ourselves wondering
for what good purpose certain creatures
are brought into existence. We have
not IN mind, in the present instance,
the snakes and other venomous reptiles
whose sting produces loathsome death,
but cartain reptiles made in the image
of man whose mission in life seems to
be to poison our minds against our fell
lows; whose delight it is to thrust into
our hearts the envenomed dart of malice,
hatred and envy.-Prison Mirror.
If the experiments of the lighthouse
board Of the treasury department prove
as successful in all cases as they have in
stationary lighthouse, it is likely that
the steam apparatus in connection NTH
the Duluth foghorn will soon be replaced
by brand new device. Instead Of the
slow and expensive methods now in use,
the lighthouse board, which has been
working for a year at it, will introduce a
gas motor, with which air is compressed
into a tank and liberated through the
foghorn. The motor is called the Horny
Akroyd safety oil engine, after it's invent
ors. Experiments thus far have been
made with stationary engines on shore.
To assure themselves of the efficiency of
the motor on shipboard the officials of
the lighthouse board have decided to
have one of the motors and it's appliances
placed on the Winter Quarter Shoal
Eighth ouse, off Atlantic City.-Common-
