IMPROVEMENTS
Changes That Have Been Made in Lights

Meantime the means of lighting was
being steadily improved. The open fire
gave place to the oil lamp; then a
curved mirror, called a parabolic mir
ror, was placed behind the lamps to
bring the rays together; next, many
lamps with mirrors were grouped
about a central spindle, and some such
lights are still in operation. says St.
Nicholas. The greatest stride came
when an arrangement of lenses, known
as the Fresnel lens. in front of lamp
replaced the mirror behind it. This lens
was rapidly improved for lighthouse
purposes, until now a cylindrical glass
house surrounds the lamp fame. This
house has lens-shaped walls. which
bend all the rays to form horizontal
zone Of strong light which pierces the
darkness to great distance. The rap
il increase in the number of light
houses has made it necessary to have
some means Of telling one from an
other, or, as it is termed. of giving
to each light its characteristic" Col

Nasco de CANA :, tie 400th anniversary
of which Will be celebrated this year,
that Portuguese curiosity with regard
to India i'll those faroff days was whet-
ted by the reports which either a king
Of Benin or his ENJOYS carried to Lis
bon of 1rester John and the HISTORIAN
Christians who held sway on the other
side OF the Indian ocean. Benin was
then associated. more or less intimate
ly. with AbySsinia. through which the
knowledge of India reached the king of
Benin. King Don loan of Portugal
sent forth tWO enjoys via Egypt to dis
cover the mysterious land whence Ven
ice and other cities had drawn untold
riches. He also dispatched Bartholo-
meu Diaz on voyage of discovery
down the African coast. with the result
that the cape was accidentally rounded
and the way opened up for the great
voyage Of Nasco de Cana In 1897. Por-
tugal for years previous to the repre-
