THE PILOTS ARE
TIRED OF TALK
Range Lights Are Much Needed, and 1t
Is Believed That They Kill
Be Established.
Chamber Of Commerce. Which SecaIed Vessel
TO Search for CadxoN Forest. Will
Not Disappoint the Pilots
and Mariners.

At the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce tonight it is hoped by all OF the
pilots that this. body Of representative
business men OF the city win follow up
the good work which II did two years
ago towards securing range lights on the
lower river. The feeling Is unanimous
amongst river men and seamen that the
establishment Of these lights Is at this
time OF prime Importance and can be ac-
complished by decided action. The pilots
themselves. as one of them expressed IL.
have harped upon the matter so long
that they have becom ca little tired OF
talking about it, and do not feel that
they can do any more good. Rut one and
all are anxious to see the principal bus
mess association of the city take the
matter in charge. With the development
of this port that is sure to follow in the
near future, the importance of providing
these safeguards to navigation cannot be
overestimated.
Only two lights are required, one on
Sand Island, and one at Bakers Bay.
The expense would be trivial compared
with the benefits accruing. and there GER
tainly seems to be no good reason why
this aid to navigation should not be es-
tabllshed. Two such lights erected on
modern principles, would enable vessels
to enter the harbor at any time after
dark, in any kind of average weather.
AS it is now, frequently ships have to
stand out to sea again after being within
sight OF the harbor, because they happen
to arrive about dark and as Is well known
many lives have been lost in the past
simply because ship could not come
in at the right time.
Astoria's Chamber of Commerce has
just secured from the treasury depart
ment orders placing a governor snt steam
er in service in search for the Cadzow
Forest. Its influence is recognized and
doubtless will be used in this instance to
further the needs and requirements OF
commerce at this port and the safety OF
the pilots engaged In the handling OF
shipping arriving and departing there
from.

a RAY OF LIGHT.

Syracuse. Feb. 1L--At the Syracuse uni
verslty. under the direction OF Prof, Eu-
gene Haanel. Pm. D.. F. r. g., successful
photographs are being made with rays OF
light Last week. on the second trial,
the skeleton Of n live frog was photo
graphed In an hour and fifteen minutes
exposure. Last night In cardboard box
ticket. dime. copper cent. carbon lead
pencil and steel key were penetrated, and
In another experiment some bone but
tons. link cum buttons and pieces of
watch chain were imperfectly penetrated,
owing to an exposure Of only thirty min
utes.
Prof. Haanel covers a sensitive dry
plate with black paper to protect 1t from
the daylight and reduce the exposure. He
says Edison cannot photograph the brain
because Il Is transparent

DISCOVERY
That Greatly Simplihes Prof. Roentgen's
Wonderful Sight

New York. Feb. 1.-THE experiments
of "rof, Pupin, of Columbia college. have
osgl,ed In the discovery that the Roent-
en- ray photographs can be produced by
no aid OF an ordinary static electrical
II 5trumeHt and are thus within the reach
o. almost every physician.
Prof. Pupin arrived at this conclusion
today after several experiments with cur
rents decreasing in activity until he
reached the point which is about stand
ard of the statical instruments, and OBJ
tanned just as good results from 1t as
from the most powerful current. An
other important discovery which brings
this new and mysterious science still
closer TO the mass of experimenters is
the fact that the expensive Crooke's
tubes, which were believed TO he indis-
pensable in producing the desired results,
may be dispensed with and cheaper and
stronger vacuum tube used In its stead.

SUGAR SHIPS
Which Win Be Strong Enough to Cap

New York. Feb. n.-According 10 ru-
nors in Cuban and Spanish circles the
Neptune, now in dry dock at Perth Am
boy. N. j.; the Narino, which is being
transformed into gunboat in the same
shipyards. and other steamers which
have been mentioned in connection with
expeditions to Cuba. are not being fitted
out by the Cuban Junta at all, but by
the New York sugar merchants. Several
months ago the rumor was spread that
syndicate had furnished $5OO,OO0 to help
Gomez in his scheme of burning planta-
tions for the purpose of creating a boom
In sugar 1t is now rumored that Hora-
tio s. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban rev.
olutionary party, is in Washington, lob
bying not only for the Junta. but for the
sugar people as well.
The rumored plan is a clever one. II
appears that it contemplates building
vessels so well equipped that they could
capture the ports of Cuba. OF course
this work will be done in connection
with the Junta, 1t would take a large
fleet to carry out the plans, as the Span
