A wonderful Lighthouse.

In the lamphouse of the Gov
eminent lighthouse station, Temp
kinsville, Staten Island, is housed
the most wonderful light in the
world. The light itself stands Is
feet high, the face of its bull's-eye
is 9 feet across, and its lenses are
as much as 4 inches thick. 1t ia
capable of flashing ray of light
equivalent to the power of $780,
100000 candles, and the distance
from which it can be seen on
clear nights is practically limited
only by the curvature of the
earth. The flash will have the
intensity and binding glare of a
stroke of lightning.
That part of the light which re-
wolves weighs Is tons, and SO ex-
quisite is the mechanism by which
it is moved that the pressure of
fingers will turn it. A child could
control the machinery, and the
motive power which propels it is
a single bit of clockwork encased
in a box two feet square. The
light consists of two concave discs
about 81 feet in diameter. These
discs are placed back to back
about foot apart, and in position
look like tremendous double con-
vex magnifying lenses, so large
that they could not be cast in two
single pieces, and had to be built
up in segments, and the whole
strung together in great iron
skeleton. And this, in point of
fact, is precisely the case.
Back to back the lenses inclose
hollow interior, into which is
thrust powerful electric light.
This light of itself is about 1000
candle power. When its light is
projected through these huge
magnified prisms its power is in
tensifed more than $4,000 times.
1t is altogether beyond the human
inauguration to grasp the posi-
BILE effect of 250,000,000 candles,
which is the Illuminating power of
this new lighthouse wonder. At
the present time the finest oil
lamp which ingenuity has been
able to devise may be seen on a
clear night some 35 or 40 miles at
sea. This new light may be seen
at a point l20 miles away.

preparations 20 Put on SteBfncrs
TO Europe and America.
T. Yukino, one of the most pro-
minent Japanese residents in the
Northwest, has returned to Ia
coma from Japan, where he con-
ferred with officials of the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha or Japanese Mail
Steamship Company, regarding
it's proposed steamship line to the
American coast. He says that on
December 9TH, two of the highest
unicials of the company left Yoko-
hama for Europe empowered to
contract for the building Of six
large fast modern steamships.
These steamers are to ply between
Japan and Europe. When they
are completed, in about eighteen
months, the steamers now running
to Europe, Mr.. Yukino. says, will
be used on the new line to the
United States.
Next summer the officials of the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, now in
Europe, will go to the Pacific
Coast to look over the Coast cities
and ascertain which of them will
be the most advantageous to the
company as the terminus of the
line. They will be accompanied
by the company's chief engineer,
who is going to Europe to super
wise the building of the new
steamers.

DISTINGUIsHED VISITOR.
Mr. HiiIiard, n Great Artist and
Traveller. in HawaiL

Mr. HiIIiard, a Great Artist and
Traveller. In Hswaii-
A delightful half hour was pass
ed by BULLETIN representative
yesterday in conversation with
w. II. billiard, the celebrated
American artist, whose arrival
was noted some days ago in the
columns of this paper. Mr..
billiard and his sister, Mrs. Anna
Trumbull, are staying at the Ha-
waiian Hotel. Mrs. Trumbull is
art critic and correspondent for
many of the New York dailies and
also manager OF Mr.. billiards
business affairs.
For nearly thirty years Mr..
billiard has been an exhibitor in
the great Partisan salons and
during that period has acquired a
well deserved reputation as a
painter of some of the finest
modern works OF art. In 1880 he
made an extensive tour through
Algeria and other Barbary Coast
states. In 1881 one of his best
pictures, the isle of jersey" was
in the exhibition of that season.
The following year I'm Marais
dams les Landes" received fatter-
ing notices from the art critics.
In 1884 Mr.. billiard returned
to America and opened studio
in Boston, bringing with him a
large number of paintings and
sketches from scenes in Holland,
Brittany, Spain, France and At
RIGA. Ten years ago he was spo-
ken of in some of the American
journals as "the most nomadic of
our artists" and he has been ira
yelling almost continually since
then.
Probably Mr.. billiards Ha-
waiian trip will extend over a Pc
Rod of some months, his princi-
pal object being, of course, to
paint a picture of the volcano.
This is for Adolph Spreckles.
His instructors in France were
Lambinet, Daubigny and Fran
Gals, and he has painted pictures
for some of the most celebrated
art lovers of Europe.

Wants a Cable.

A late San Francisco Chronicle
offers the following additional ar
gument in favor of a cable:
"It is extremely gratifying to
know that two vessels, for the
safety of which much fear was en-
tertained-the United States steam
ship Baltimore and the steamer
Miowera-have reached Honolulu
in safety, though both disfgured
by their battle with the elements.
1t may be in order to suggest that
had we cable from here to the
Sandwich Islands there would be
many times when great anxiety
would be relieved, and certain
times when exorbitant premiums
for marine insurance would not be
as easily collectible as they are
under the present condition OF
things"

-ON THE
SUPERIORITY. OF TIL
TRIBUNE WHEELS.

The Scientific American,
which everyone acknowledges
as the leading scientific paper
in the United States, devoteS
nearly a page of its issue of
January 4th to the considera-
ton of bicycles. 1t selected
the Tribune as the highest
type of the best American
wheel made today. 1t says:
within the past three years,
the American bicycle industry
has grown up to dimensions
which fairly entitle it to be
considered representative of the
country and of the day. Every
day sees hundreds of wheels
of high and low grade made in
the factories of this country for
the American and foreign mar
ket. Three years ago the
English bicycle was consider
ed by many the best wheel,
and the poSSeSSor of such was
apt to consider himself better
equipped than his friend who
rode one of American manu-
facture. Now, all is changed.
A visitor to England or to the
Continent, if a cycling enthu-
Siast, cannot fail to be impress
ed by the superiority of Amer
lean wheels as contrasted with
the foreign ones, and no wheel
man really au fat in his sub
ject would dream of buying
his wheel abroad, so superior
is the American make. The
industry has brought about an
enormous development in the
manufacture of special tools
and of parts of bicycles.
Many assumed bicycle man
ufacturers simply buy these
parts and do their own as
sembling. But for the produc-
ton of the absolutely high
grade American bicycle, a
factory is required which will
turn out practically all the
parts of the wheel manufac-
tured, for unless such is done
one concern cannot be answer
able for the perfection of the
whole machine.
We select as the representa-
tive of such a factory the works
of the Black Manufacturing
Company, of Erie, Pa. a COM
pany which produce the high
est grade of wheel and which
put it on the market purely on
its merits without the adventi-
tiouS advertisement of paid
riders. The wheel made by
this company, the Tribune
Bicycle" embOdieS the best
possible practice and is cores
pondingly free from structural
variations of improved merit. ;"
Such praise from such a
high source should satisfy any
one of the superior merits of
the Tribune wheels.
We have them in all varieties
of the 1896 patterns, in Tan
dems, Racers, Ladies or gents
wheels, and shall be happy to
show the 1896 improvements
to intending purchasers.

the future Of the old building
would then be decided on. Mr..

ing or not was left entirely to
him, but that he was limited as to
the amount to be expended on the
building. If the building could
be altered and repaired within the
limit of the amount at his dis
posal, work would be commenced
at once, otherwise not.
