description applies to the first order OF
lenses, which are used in the great
lights ON the seacoast. For the second
order of lenses, such as used in the
lights in the Chicago harbor, a lamp
with three concentric wicks was adopt
ed. The annual consumption of oil by
the lenses of the first order is 694 gal
Ions and of the second order 461 gal
Ions. The lenses cost but little more
than the old reflectors and the saving
of oil Is great. The ratio of effect of
the lens light is to that of the reflector
light as 4 to THAT is, one gallon of oil
burned In lens throws as much light
to the horizon as four gallons burned
in a reflector light.
During the last twenty-five years
there has been great increase in ma
rine lighting in the ninth lighthouse
district, which includes Minnesota,
Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illi-
nois. The number of lighthouses in
this district is 127, and every light is a
Fresnel. A new lighthouse built at
Manitou Island is fine, costing the gov
ernment good sum of money. Beside
it is the fog signal contrivance and a
little distance off is the oil tank inclosed
neatly. The house In which the light
house keeper dwells is supplied with
the modern conveniences and is hand
some enough to be called villa. A
large quantity of stores is required to
be kept constantly in the district, and
these are substantially housed in a gov
ernment building in st. Joseph, Mich
The official headquarters of the ninth
district is in Chicago. 1t is in charge OF
Commander f. Nj. Symonds, United
| States navy. Commander Symonds

ciple that should take the place of every
other the world round. Fresnel was
that man. Indeed, he began with his
experiments ten years earlier. Over
in France was Fresnel a. work on a
marine light that was destined to send
its apprising flashes from six several
towers in the Chicago harbor over the
waters to the horizon. The Frenchman
lived to perfect his light; he was ap-
pointed secretary to the lighthouse
board of France in 1926 and while he
was in that position he replaced reflect
ors with lenses and invented the revolv-
ing light. Then he added prismatic
rings. The result was the system that
still goes by his name and has long
since changed the mode of lighthouse
illumination throughout the world 1t
is now used exclusively by the United
! States.

Does Cooking Spoil Food?

Prof. B. Tyler, of Indianapolis, says
that human life would average three
or four times longer than it does if
people would reject the senseless prac-
tice of cooking their food. Animals
and fowl live much longer in proportion
to the period of full development than
man. Says Prof. Tyler: Man, for
some unknown reason, eats dead cells
Cooked cells to replace the dead cells
that have been separated from the
body. In cooking food all the acids
and gases so necessary for the conser-
walton and preservation of ideal health
escape with the steam, and the food
retains a greater supply of ash, lime
and other such substances than nature
requires for the amount of food taken
into the system"

very soon becomes so.

the foul secretions, and the poison

Chicago people are accustomed to see
ing the Fresnel light in the several
lighthouses in the harbor, but probably
few have ever inquired into the mech
anism of the apparatus by which the
flashes are produced. Take the one on
the north pier as typical. Within it is
an arrangement of lenses, supplement-
ed by prisms, which revolye around a
sperm oil-burning lamp. When one of
the lenses comes opposite the observer
the eye receives bright fash preceded
and followed by brief eclipse. There
are six orders of lenses, arranged ac-
cording to size. The first three and
largest are used in seacoast lights, and
the last three in harbor and river lights.
The lamp differs from other lamps in
the provision of wicks. Carcel invented
lamp which is named for him, in
which Oil Is fed to the wick by means
of a pump, operated by clockwork,
sometimes used in lighthouses and as a
domestic lamp. Fresnel adopted the
Carcel lamp, but improved it so that il
pumps up to the burner four times as
much oil as is consumed, which, by
keeping the burners cool, prevents them
from melting and also the wicks from
burning up. Sometimes a wick will
burn a whole night without requiring
snuffing. This, Notwithstanding the fact
that the intensity of the Fresnel light
is about equal to that of about twenty
five ordinary Carcel burners. The above

ORIGIN OF THE "BoxERs.".
Murderous Chinese Secret Society Is
Two Hundred md Fifty Years Old.

Two Hundred aud Fifty Years Old.
The Boxer society, which is responsible
for the present troubles in China, is not
of recent origin. 1t had it's rise more
than go years ago and was originally
an organization Of radicals who are in
favor Of overthrowing the Manchu SOW
ereignty and restoring the great Ming dy-
nasty. The present troubles may be re-
lated back to the disputes between the
progressive party which had the Emperor
for its figurehead and the conservative
party Of the empress dowager. 1t will
be remembered that the Emperor bios
soned out as Il ieformer and issued sew
eral edicts which made the representa-
tivcs Of China shudder with aversion and
dismay. Competent critics said at the
time that his methods were so crude and
arbitrary as to be utterly impractical,
though they were inspired by correct mo-
tives. Events justified their predictions.
Superstitions, l~ong-established customs
and abuses could not be overcome at 81
word, and the reform movement PLAYED
right into the hands of the Empress.
Like most of her countrymen, she hated
the foreigners. The rcformers We're the
foreigners friends. Hence China for the
Chinese was the import of a countcr-rev-
olution, and such of the reform leaders as
did not have their heads cut off were
glad to escape to distant lands.
After the Empress was restored to
power the YcH Ho Chuan Righteousness,
harmony and fists, hence Boxers) mar
shaled their already w~ell-organized secret
society to assist in the work of discour-
aging those reformers who were not dis
couragcd enough already, and to help
check the foreign devils, among whom,
in spite of the contradiction in terms,
were the missionaries. As time passed
checking became numbering, and the
wicked old woman either abetted or
winked at the crime. That is why the
imperial troops have made no Roadway
against the so-called rebellion and why
the powers have united in self-protection.
