 New York May 6.-The cotton market to7 day resembled the terribly dull trading oi the early part of April s All interest in the market seemed to have utterly disappeared. Liverpool was un- changed and our market opened about the same as the close of yesterday. There were no new features to govern the tradfnS and very few orders. The local element was bearish and sold the market down nt- tie, but large spot sales sent them scam pering to cover and the loss was regained. , August opened at 7.S6 declined to 7.S4 ad7 vanced to 7.S7, and closed at 7.S6Q7.S7, with the tone of the market steady. We regard the dullness today as only a hull in the spec ulation. We do not think it will continue. The situation in cotton looks more buliisil than ever to us and we favor buying ,

LIGHTHOUSE IMPROVEMENT
Changes That Have Been Made In LightE
and Lenses.

@NAA'~'s
An article about lighthouses, entitled
"The Lights That Guide In the Night"
is contributed by Lieutenant John M.
Ellicott to st. Nicholas After telling
Of the growth in the number of light
houses Lieutenant Ellicott says:
Meantime the means of lighting were
being steadily improved. The open fire
gave place to the oil lamp, then a
curved mirror, called parabolic mir
Tor, was placed behind the lamp to
bring the rays together; next, many
lamps with mirrors were grouped about
a central spindle, and some such lights
are still in operation. The greatest
stride came when an arrangement of
lenses, known as the Fresnel lens, in
front of lamp replaced the mirror be-
hind it. This lens was rapidly improved
for Lighthouse purposes, until now a
cylindrical glass house surrounds the
lamp flame. This house has lens shaped
walls, which bend all the rays to form
a horizontal zone of strong light which
pierces the darkness to a great distance.
The rapid increase in the number Of
lighthouses has made it necessary to
have some means of telling one from
another, or, as it is termed, of giving
to each light its Characteristic" Col
oring the glass made the light DINNER,
but as red comes most nearly to white
light in brightness some lights have red
lenses. The latest and best plan, how
ever, is to set upright prisms at inter
walls in a circular framework around
the lens and to revolve this frame by
clockwork. Thus the light is made to
flash every time prism passes between
it and an observer. By changing the
number and places Of the prisms or the
speed of the clockwork the flashes fol
any one light can be made to occur al
intervals of so many seconds for that
light Putting in red prisms gives still
other changes. Thus each light has its
characteristic" and this is written
down in signs on the charts and fully
stated in the light lists carried by yes
sells. Thus, on a chart you may note
that the light you want to sight il
marked "F. W., v. W. FL, 10 sec. >
which means that it is fixed white
varied by white flashes every ten sec
onds. y When light is sighted, you SEE
if those are its characteristics, and if 81
