frail life dashed out by the waves.
While Mrs. Fowler. wife Of the keep
er at the North Dumping light. Fish
er's Island Sound, Rhode Island, was
in charge Of the tower in her hus-
bands absence, during a thick fog
break occurred in the machinery by
which the bell is rung as a warning
to sailOrs. The bell was at the top
of the tower, with no regular means
of reaching IL. Nothing daunted, Mrs.
Fowler set a ladder against the tow
or, climbed the height, tied a rope to
the bell, and rang it until the fog
cleared away. The Lighthouse Board
warmly commended Mrs. Fowler's
courage in n letter that is precious
TO her. These are but few transcript
from official pages.
The first woman to act as light
house-keeper was probably Elizabeth
Smith, who, n 1880, kept the light at
Old Field Point. Long Island, and had
full charge of it for twenty-five years.
Nancy Rose was appointed in Novem-
Der. 1857. as a lighthouse keeper TO
succeed her husband at Stony Point,
on the Hudson River. She is the first
woman keeper whose appointment is
on official record. In her seventy
seventh year, Mrs. Rose still climbs
the ladder 10 the light with no uncer-
tain step, faithfully keeping her vigil
under stormy and starry skies. Her
bright eyes are unimpaired in vision.
The lighthouse stands on the hilltop.
The keepers cottage is surrounded by
a well-kept garden that during the
summertime is full Of blooming dab
las. Mrs. Rose maintains the family
tradition in being light-keeper, as
they have held the post ever since the
tower was built. She has raised sew
en- children. and kept the position
through various political changes be-
cause. as she says, II have done my
duty"
The first women TO be appointed
lighthouse keepers on the Pacific coast
are widows, Mrs. Emily A. Fish at
Point Plnos, and Mrs. Julia Il. Will
Jams. OF Humboldt, California. Point

land jutting into the sea. Mrs. Fish
obtained permission to add TO the ac-
commodations, and built a comforta-
BILE residence with modern improve
ments for herself.
Mrs. Fish keeps tha light with great
care. allowing no one TO relieve her Of
the official duties OF the station. AS

twelve feet long and eight feet wide.
At one end the posts are about five
and one-half feet high. at the other

nailed at the top OF the posts. In the
upper edge of these boards are cut
notches about four inches deep and
two and one-half inches wide. Begin.

are now placed in the notches prepared
for them in the end boards, with the
brush hanging down. They are held
down by a narrow board nailed across
the tops of the posts at each end.
The device is now complete. The
difference in height nj the two ends
makes IL suitable for cattle OF all
sizes. The brush will last for a long
time. but should they become much

Wastcs on the Earm.

Millions OF dollars worth OF mate.
rial are wasted annually on the farms
OF this country, is statement made
by some authority. In the aggregate
! suppose there Is an enormous amount
OF waste in every industry, and farm
Ing is no exception TO the rule. There
are farmers to-day who avoid waste
on their farms fully as much as the
wideawake manufacturer or producer
I'm other lines. On the other hand.
there are plenty who fail TO realize
that they are wasting good material,
although the process Is going on daily
under their very noses. Everything
Is waste that Is not put 10 lts best

Sometimes one Of the greatest wastes
on the farm comes from the failure 10

Pressure OF Corn In siios.

A much heavier pressure is exerted
upon the upright walls of the silo than
upon the door. At recent meeting
Of the Royal Agricultural Society Of
England. Francis Fox showed that in
a round or square silo ten feet in di-
ameter, holding 240 tons the pressure
upon the walls amounted 10 zoo tons.
while upon the door II was only forty
tons. His explanation was that the
material forms itself into arches. the
ends of which press downward on the
walls with an oblique, not horizontal.

Y o country has a more splen-
did system Of lighthouses
v than the United States, and
here, where so few profes-
sions or callings are barred to woman.
the position of light-keeper is open 10
her; provided. of course, she can stand
the examination that is necessary be-
fore she can be placed upon the roll of
eligibles for appointment. The posi-
ton is both congenial and remunera-
tive, and for n great many years wom-
EN- from time TO time have found their
way into the profession, until now
there are few States with a coast line
that do not number at least one among
their light-keepers, and frequently a
greater number.
The accommodations OF lighthouse
station are, OF course, varied Some
times they are simple but in the case
OF the new structures they are very
elaborate. In the ordinary building
there are usually a service-room, liv-
ing-room, bedroom, oil-room and
store-room.
The duties of the lighthouse-keepe
are many and important. The top of
the tower is usually a tiny room, all
glass windows. The lantern Is in the
centre of the room; IL is a great prism
of glass in shape like beehive. The
lamp is set into this. and the lenses
magnify the comparatively small light
Of the lamp and make ii great beacon
seen far off over the waters. Should
the luminant be flash-light. there is
machinery TO be wound up every few
hours to cause il TO revolve. At sunset
the keeper climbs the steep steps in the
high tower, takes down the curtains
that darken it throughout the day, and
sets the lamp inside the lantern. AS
she makes out the last dim sail upon
the horizon and feels a thrill of isola
ton. and that the sun has left 1.-THE
world TO darkness and TO me-" she may
have serene sense of consolation in
remembering that hundreds Of other
keepers are climbing upward in the
night, and her souls cry for compan-
lonship is answered. At midnight the
lamp is changed; a freshly filled one
