As told in THE TINES last week,
Capt. R. J. Robinson was employed
to run survey from Abbeville e.
r. to the Greenwood county line
TO determine whether or not the
Greenwood people had their line
nearer to Abbeville than the eight
mile hunt allowed by the Constl-
tuition. He finished the work last
Saturday and made his report on
Monday, which shows that tne
Greenwood eaunty line is only l.
33-1Oo miles from Abbevllle court
house, or in other words the new
county line runs two-thirds OF a
mill nearertssto AbbeVillelthan II
should run. TIE establishment OF
this fact, it is believed, will pre-
vent the present Legislature from
passing the Act setting off Green
wood county. And now comes an
intresting question whether Green
wood will be allowed to make 6
new survey and hold another
election at once, G re whether she
will be forced to wait four years
longer. The law says that when
section makes an effort to secure {
new county and fails, another
election on the question shall no
be held on ne question in tn
same territory within four years

A FLOATING POSTOFFICE.
Approval of the Plan to Expedite For
eign Mails

The plan of equipping a steamboat
with the paraphernalia necessary for
the proper handling and quick assert
ment of mail received from incoming
steamships in place of the four tugs
now used for transferring mails at
Quarantine to railroad stations in this
city and at Jersey City, after being
tentatively considered by the postoffice
department for some time, has received
official Endorsement at Washington. Ii
will be the first floating postoffice of
the kind ever used, and will greatly
expedite the handling of foreign mail
says the New York Post.
The project is the outcome of ex-
periments made at this harbor since
aug. in the direct transfer of foraig'
mail matter At that time the presep
tug service was organized, and tn
White Star, the North German Lloyd
and the German American lines agrea
to have tugs at Quarantine to TAX
mail from their incoming steamship
and transfer it by truck to the Gram
Central station in this city and the
Pennsylvania railroad in Jersey City
to catch departing trains. For this
service the White Star line receives
from the government $1,000 year
and the other lines $25 a trip, aggregat-
ing $1,000 more. Although the scheme
has worked we'll, the local authorities
believe that the best results can never
be achieved until the department con-
trolls the service entirely and has it's
own boat to meet vessels and make
quick return trips.
The new craft is to be fast
steamer so arranged as to facilitate the
assortment of mail intended for distant
cities, which is now difficult on the mar
row tugs. A large force of porters un-
der the control of a chief and one or
two assistants will supervise the work
and be directly responsible to the de-
partment. Though not having all the
features of d postoffice the boat will
present the appearance of a huge dis
tributing station with the latest ap-
pliances for the quick handling and
assortment of mails With such ia
cilities, 1t is believed that the time
now allowed, even under the improved
system, for the handling of such mail
matter can be reduced so per cent The
department will ask congress to APP
propriate $4,000 for the new service
next year.

SHINING EIGHTY MILES.
Mr.. Rushmore's New Searchlight and
Proposed Signaling Apparatus.

1t is now possible to throw a mean
from a searchlight which will be Wis
ible so miles from where the light is
located. There has just been com
pleted and placed in operation an arc
lamp fOr searchlights by which light
is secured without motors or contact
devices of any kind. This lamp with
the new lens mirror, mounted in a
sheet metal cylinder, forms the modern
high power protector. Not the least
important feature Of this development
in searchlights is the fact that by this
invention the cost of the light has beel
reduced from a figure which is almost
yrohibitive to a sum that is very
reasonable and puts it within the
power of vessel owners and other per-
sons to whom the lights are of use to
purchase them.
The thousands of people who saw
the great searchlig'hts that were dis
played from the roof of the Manufac
lures building at the Columbian
worlds fair. can form something of an
idea of the great improvement in the
apparatus told in the relation of the
facts quoted. When the display at the
fair was in progr,ss it was thought
very remarkable that the beam thrown
was visible several miles away in In
diana. This new light, however, with
which every vessel in the navy will
sooner or later be equipped, can almost
be seen in Philadelphia when it is dis
played in New York With such
light as this the nights at sea. be they
as dark as possible. are no proof
against the brilliant beam. For in
stance, vessel approaching New
York harbor at night could throw her
light so as to make every object on the
water distinctly visible just as far as
the range of human vision would per-
nit Every buoy would stand out in
bold relief against the blackness of
the water. and the pilot would find his
course made as clear to him as II the
sunlight streamed down on every
channel from Sandy Hook to the Bat
terry. While the new light is of so
great value in times of peace, in time
of war II would be tremendous
power. With such a light aboard and
in working order, no reason could exist
which would permit the unseen ap-
proach OF a vessel of the enemy. The
only way 1t would be possible for a
torpedo boat to make a night attack
on war vessel equipped with one Of
tbpse 1iphtS would no m make the trim
under water. The craft would have
/ to be one OF that sort which the United
States government has just constructed
at Baltimore. which can travel be-
Meath the surface just as we'll as the
New York steams along on top OF old
ocean.
The earliest searchlight consisted
of simple locomotive reflector with
common electric lamp in place OF the
oil wick. A later improvement was
the adoption OF the concave mirror in
place OF the reflector, and this type
has been used for number OF years
in the navy Though great impro'e e.
which Is common to all mirrors. All
this was the foundation OIL which 5.

principle upon which this lens. Is con-
structed is known as corrective, When
