The sec4et Of its production was, however at

tificer closely and asked if any one besides
himself knew the process, receiving the proud
reply that the secret was known only TO him

Eyes Not Necessary.

Eyes are popularity considered to be
quite necessary to sight, but this is an
error, If we are to believe DR.. Nagel,
a recent German experlmenter. Many
creatures without eyes can see; at
least they can distinguish perfectly
well between light and darkness and
even between different degrees OF
light. This is the lowest degree of see
Ing, to be sure, but still 1t is really

the vision Of some insects that possess

ship, known as No. 80, which will go
into commission off Diamond shoal.
Diamond shoal is the graveyard Of
the seas of the western continent.
More hapless vessels have foundered
and bee npounded to bits on its reefs
than on any other reef in the Atlantic,
on the western side. 1t projects out
from Cape Hatteras seven miles into the
ocean. Efforts to build stationary lights
there have failed. Seventy-five thou
sand dollars was dropped into the
ocean in the effort to sink caisson
there which would withstand the force
of the seas. The money is there, but
the caisson would not stay sunken. The
attempts to build a skeleton house for
this dangerous reef have never been
deemed practical, and the necessity Of
putting in llghtship was enforced by
the floating off of the caisson. Hence
the genesis of this lightship.
No. 60 will be on constant duty at
Diamond shoal. She will anchor in still
weather and rely ON her powerful
screw to maintain her position during
the gales which sweep her station. She
Is equipped with exceptionally power
full engines and screw, set up for this
express purpose. She is sister to
lightship No 6S, now on duty at Fire
Island, in New York harbor. No. 69
will show disappearing lights of 600
candle power from her two stout
masts. A fourteen-inch chime whistle
will sound in foggy weather, and she
will also be provided with large bell

to the presidency several ladies who had
gathered at the old homestead at Spring
field testified their glee by using the hat
as football.
A few of us went over to assist Mrs.
Lincoln about the supper which was to
be given some gentlemen who had come
in to hear the returns. 1t was after mid
night before enough had been learned to
warrant the belief that our candidate had
been elected. We went nearly wild with
joy, and congratulated Mr.. Lincoln most
heartily.
Someone saw the famous "stovepipe"
in the hall, and, scizing It, threw 1t up 10
the ceiling. Another caught it, and then
it went the rounds till it fell to the floor,
when one gave it kick, and then an
other, and another gave the hat send
off, until it was so battered that it had
lost all resemblance to its original shape.
Mr.. Lincoln looked on and smiled good
naturedly at the childish performance
