Fighting for Their Lights.

t1ghtlng Tor Their Lights
But this merely physical fight is only one
part of the battle that goes on in the
lighthouses during the winter. There is
another battle as great. 1t is worry and
anxiety
The light keepers of the United States
have been trained to look on their lights
as the American soldier and sailor look on
their flag. So well have they been discipln-
ed and so well do they guard the trust
that there rarely is a case Of a light having
failed when human energy and pluck could
keep II burning.
When sleet and snow drive over the tow
ers. these men are stricken with the fear
that despite all their care the light. burn
ii ever so brightly. may not be able to
pierce the thick air. Only one who has
been il a lighthouse through a great win
ter-nights storm can realize how keen and
wearing an anxiety this is to them. Like
all men who have to do with the powers
OF nature, they know that. though they
do their best. that best is not good enough,
II Il IS not successful.
So blow the gales as they may. the
Keepers climb out on the narrow platform
around the outside of the big windows that
protect the precious lens. and with the
weather beating them and the wind threat
ening to blow them into the black sea be-
low. with waves reaching up to them, they
scr&pe the dr!fted snow and the frozen
sleet from the panes throughout the night
that the light may shine out freely.
me tiElulNS OF an ordinarily SuffClent
light in thick weather has troubled the
Light house department seriously for years
during which time the engineer and naval
officers on the board have experimental
constantly. The result of their efforts has
been the recent adoption Of a lantern lens
entirely different from the cylindrical one
used TO this time.
New Bivalve Lens
The new lens is known as the 'bivalve."
which IS expressive OF it's appearance In
stead OF cylinder OF glass revolving
around the light. 1t consists of two immense
convex disks Joined at the edges by thick
brass bands The value of the bivalve lens
Is that each face throws an immense beam
concentrating the light rays that in the or
binary lens are dissipated by being shot to
many angles.
bivalve light of the fourth order will
throw q fash of 500 candle power from a
light of only go candle power.
Only a few II them have been installed
as yet. Their cost is heavy, a third order
lens costing $4,000.

looking it from the sea, often can discern
only its brave lantern above the spray. The
entrance TO this lighthouse is halfway up
the tower and an iron ladder reaches from
It to sea level. In the winter there are days

man could venture into that doorway. He

Notice to Our Readers.

We wish to call the attention of every reader of The Advertiser to the advertise ment of Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Cure, which appears in this issue. We have every assurance that Dr. J. W. Blosser & Son. who are advertising this remedy. are msp of such character that their claims for this remedy and their promises may be relied upon in every particular.
 As they offer an absolutely free trial sample of the Catarrh Cure. 1t is cer- tainly we'll worth the while of every suf- ferer to write to them and give their remedy a trial, at least to this extent. Their willingness to submit the remedy to this test before selling 1t is a demon- stration of their faith in 1t.

 The courage and persistency of the apostles in tarrying at Jerusalem is ad- mirable. Like sheep in the midst Of wolves. their Shepherd gone, they still held together, and were .obedient to His last command. The glory of the ascen- sion had heartened them to this extent. =. The descent of the Holy Ghost is the strongest proof of the ascension of Jesus. As the high priest, lost to view of the people as he ofticiated be- hind the veil was yet in evidence by the his robe. so the successful mediation of the Divine High Priest was proven by this shedding forth which all saw and heard. He had prayed the Father for the Comforter. He had baptized them with the Holy Ghost and fire. :.

We are living in the dispensation of a Person in the adorable Trinity. Thirty-nine distinctive titles, suitable only to a person, are applied in Scrip ture to the Holy Spirit. Two hundred and fifty acts. involving intelection, vo- lition, and pers )nality, are ascribed to Him. The Spirit came not as a transient guest, He came to abide for ever. His offices are to regenerate, wit- ness, teach. help in prayer, etc.
