LIGHTSHIPS.
They Are Now Connected With the
Shore by Telephone.

Shore by Telephone.
For many years the desirability Of
telephone communication between
lightships and the shore has been rec
ognize@ but no one has hit on prac-
ticable means of providing it. The
trouble was that the ship, although
anchored, changes position with the
tide and wind over an area that may
measure several hundred feet in each
direction. This movement was de-
structive to telephone cables, which
were inevitably twisted and broken.
Now Prof. Lucian I. Blake of a fresh
water college out in Kansas, has ap-
parently solved the problem. He sent
his first message from the Scotland
lightship off Sandy Hook recently, and
the experts say he has got the right
principle and that it is very queer no
one ever thought of it before. The
beauty of his scheme is it's simplicity.
He seems to be the first to observe
that, although lightship moves about
good deal, it is always in connection
with something that remains immova-
BILE, to wit, the anchor. Therefore he
took the anchor as his starting point
and attaching supplementary chain
to this carried it off to moderate dis
tance and there made it fast to the
end of the cable from the shore. Ex-
perts had said that it would be i'm
possible to make the anchor chain part
of the line of communication needed
for telephone use, but Prof. Blake
thought differently and has proved
his theory by fitting up the apparatus
at his own cost and then talking over
it from the lightship to the Shore
Churchman.

EnEland's Chestnut at TOrwOrfh


1t is said that the largest chestnut
tree known in the world is at Mount
Etna, in Sicily, but one Of the oldest
and most remarkable trees in Great
Britain is chestnut ait Torworth, the
residence Of the earl Of Ducie, near
Bristol. In the reign of Stephen, who
ascended the throne in 1135, it was, we
gather from the Naturalists' Journal,
deemed 50 remarkable for it's size that,
as appears upon record, it was well
known as a signal boundary to the
Manor of Torworth. 1t seems prob
able that this tree is 1000 years old at
least It is still in very fair vigor, and
last year produced a large crop Of nuts.
1t measures nearly fifty feet in circum-
ference; the body is short-only about
ten feet in height-and it then divides
into three huge trunks, one Of which
measures nearly 80 feet in girth.-W est

You're It. when playing tag? OF

some of his big words left out
''The people who live in England do

"And all the generations of little

instead of nit even after our fathers
learned in America to always put
