A LAMP.
The perpetual LIGHT" of the Marshy
Coast Near Rev Orleans.

w. NNSeA AbW OAAOouos
"lhe most remarkable lamp in this
section Of the country said a man
who cruises a great deal along the
coast, according to the New Orleans
Timer Democrat, is to he found at
q lighthouse in the water area be-
tween Lake Borgne and Mississippi
strrd, in a lonely ~dcsolate, isolated
SPOT, where che fan Of human feet, or
The dip Of cars, are heard only our
times a year. The light is SoAle Gis-
t~lce his side Of Bay st. Louis andi is
a little south of Chinchuba, It
stand away ont in tbe marsh, but
can be seen from the railroad. 1t
burns all the time, day and night,
year in and year out. II iickers away
steadily for the benefit Of the mar
mers who frequent these waters. 1t
is the Perpetual Light, The sun,
and moon, and stars may come and
go, but the light which shines out in
the dismal marsh is always the same.
It is tine one bright thing in a rather
dilmal stretch Of country. Sea-
weeds grow wild and rank in that
region.
The land, such as one may see
from a railroad train, is a fiat and
treeless waste. 1t is without any
cheerful aspect, low, gloomy, over
hung by miasmatie regions. 1t is
threaded by sluggish arms Of water.
Once every three months this lamp
is visited BY a human being. 1t Is
hlAeu vilh oil, trimmed up and put
in condition to burn for three months
longer. Thus It is visited four times
every year. It is situated so the
winds cannot put it out. 1t renders
GOOD service, never explodes, never
goes out, never gets DINNER or
brighter, but burns with the same
steady power all the time. 1t has
earned the name Of the Perpetual

The harbor is Of such depth that
steamers drawing 80 feet can steam
up alongside the immense docks and
piers, which are well protected by
the breakwater. Their cargoes can
be unloaded directly into cars, which
run for 5000 miles or more to st.
Petersburg. Five large piers are be-
ing constructed Of blocks Of stone

to so tons. These piers are from 60

from a quarter toa half mile. Docks

Il Ike to hear Of the automobile
festS OF our mui millionaires," said
a young man as he stood on Pennsyl-
vaaia avenue. aceorGing to the Wash
ington Star. A iast-Iying horseless
carriage appeared to suggest this
thought. Il like to hear Of the ex-
pensiye experiments they are max
ing, of their $4,000 machines and Of
their excessive speed, although some
good people are inclined to lookupon
their acts as follies. l never envy
thsm-oh. mol" exelaimedthe young
man.
"a misanthrope who thinks all
thought has forts object a selfish mo-
tive could never reconcile you 10 his
theory, suggested the young mans
friend, who was standing at his side.
"Ok," responded Tie young man,
you have guessed my secret. Twill
tell you why / love to see thousands
and hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
spent by The devotees Of the horseless
carriage. Ii is because / want an au-
tomobile and l want the very best
type tor the lesstmoney. The way to
get the best type is through a long
series Of costly experiments. 1t was
The same way with the bicycle. The
first wheels that came out were costly
and were detective. Lots Of people
could not afford to buy them, but
those who could invested their mon
ey and had the fun Of the sport
while il was new. Finally experience
showed that the diamond frome was
the very best form that could be Sc
CURED. The experiment continued
until the present safety was evolved.
Now there is practically but one form
on the market. 1t was the result Of
bousands Of inventions, and the
Pgo9e q sl was sug-
gested by costly experiment. The re-
suit of it all was that eventually,
when the Sport became common
place, the bloodS dropped it and the
manufacturers, being able to dispose
Of their wares only by catering to q
trade that would not stand high
prices, gradually bore down the price,
and now anyone can get a frst-class
wheel affth Of the money that was
required in the beginning Of its devel-
opment. In fact, they can get a bet
ter wheelnow for $50 than could have
been secured Is years ago for $3.50.
what happened with the bicycle
will be repeated in the case Of the au-
tomobile. ! have neither the time
nor the money to carry on the costly
experiment that is to develop the
best form Of automobile, and | am
grateful that my multi-million-
lire friends are good enough to un-
dertake the work for me. AS soon as
they complete their work l will be
able to purchase a frst-class auto
mobile for few hundred dollars, and
t will not be many years before that
time arrives. To be sure, l do feel
sorry when / read of some ofthese
young folks who are working for me
getting killed in a race or speed

pher, and | know that is one Of the
penalties that have to be paid in the
development Of a good thing"

DIAGNOSING HYDROPHOBIA.
RECENT EXPERIMENTS WITH SUSPECTED
DOGS-BRAIN TISSUE EXAMINED.

There are few maiadies that puzzle physicians
much as hydrophobia in fits early stages. There
can be doubt that there is such a disease. and
that IT is communicated TO human beings by the
bite of a mad dog There is some difficulty, how
ever, in determining. In the case of an attack upon
a person. whether the dog Is really victim of this
disorder or not. Very often the animal escapes
capture. Those who witness its behavior apt
to be excited and to exagserate their descriptions.
A dog will infrequently be irritable and snap
psh when something is wrong with its digestion
or from other causes. but without being affected
with true rabies When doctor is called In. there
fore he is usually unable TO judge whether not
there is any danger from the bite.
For this reason it is in the highest degree de-
sirabIe that a dog which goes about biting people
should be captured promptly II it has been shot
