A Natural Foghorp,


At the Farallones the erosive agents
have worked with queer caprice. This
rock being granite, has been acted upon
by the sea at all levels, and through
out the long period when it has been
rising out of the watery depths.
Through long, narrow hole, slanting,
and communicating with the ocean,
there comes at intervals a terrific
stream of air, followed by the spas
modic heaving of the waves against the
lower orifce. The government, which
uses this island for lighthouse pur-
poses, inclosed the upper end with the
nozzle of a foghorn, and every few
seconds there was blown an ear-aplit-
ting brawl, which was heard far out at
sea, and above the din of the breaking
rollers. 1t was allowed to roar only
In foggy weather, but it was eccentric
in that it would only sound at high
tide. When the tide was low, although
the weather might be thick, the thing
was silent. For lack of it's warning, q
ship went ashore upon the island
rocks, and then it was that the govern
ment abandoned it's location on the
windhole and erected steam siren, or
mechanical foghorn. which has since
very faithfully performed the neces-
sary service. From "Our Seaboard
Islands on the Pacific" by John E.
Bennett, in Harper's Magazine.

| One of the most Interesting relics in
the National Museum at Washington
is the camp chest used by Washington
throughout the revolution. It is q
compact affair, about the size of a
tourists wicker chest for cooking of
the present day, two and one half feet
long, two feet wide, one foot high,
and it contains an outfit consisting of
tlnder-box, pepper and salt boxes, bot
ties, knives, forks, gridiron and
plates. Every bit of the outfit save
one bottle, which is broken at the
shoulder, looks strong enough to stand
another campaign.
Nearby are the tents osed by Wash
lngton--three in number. One is a
sleeping tent, twenty-eight feet long,
with walls six feet high and a roof with
sl1-foot pitch. 1t is made of linen.
The other two are marquee tents of
smaller size, one with walls, the other
shelter tent open on the sides. That
the tenting material of revolutionary
days was good stuff is proved by the
excellent condition of these tents,
which sheltered the great commander
through all his severe campaigns.
Here also is Washington's uniform,
worn by him when he gave up his
commission a s commander-in-c chief of
the army, at An napolis, in 1883. 1t
consists of a big shadbelly coat of blue
broadcloth, lined and trimmed with
soft buckskin and ornamented with
broad, fiat brass buttons; buckskin
walstcoat and breeches. The size OF
the garments (which are in state of
excellent preservation) testify to the
big statute of the Father of His
Country" and suggest that he had an
eye to fine appearance in his dress.
