THE PERPETUAL LIGHT.
Remarkable Lamp In Louisiana
That Never Goes Out.

Remarkable Lamp In Louisiana
That Never Goes Out.
THE most remarkable lamp in this
section of the country" said man
who cruises Il great deal along the
coast to the New Orleans Times Dem
ocrat lis to be found in the water area
between Lake Borgne and Mississippi
sound in Il lonely, desolate, isolated
spot, where the fall OF human feet and
the dip of oars are heard only four
times Il year.
1.-THE light is some distance this side
of Bay st. Louis and is a little south
of Chinchuba. 1t stands away out in
the marsh, but can be seen from the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. 1t
burns all the time, day and night,
year in and year out. 1t ilickers away
for the benefit of the mariners who
frequent these waters. 1t is the Per-
petual ngnt The sun, the moon and
stars may come and go, but the light
which shines out in the dismal marsh
is always the same. 1t is the one
bright thing in a rather dismal stretch
Of country. Scaweeds grow wild and
rank in that region. The land, such
as one may see from a railroad train,
is a fiat and trceless waste. 1t is with
out any cheerful aspect, low, gloomy,
ovcrhung by miasmatic mist and per-
feet prairie of wild and matted weeds
of the kind which flourish in marShy
regions. 1t is threaded by sluggish
arms of water.
"Once every three months this lamp
is visited by 4 human being. 1t is
filled with oil, trimmed up and put in
condition to burn for three months
longer Thus it is visited four times
year. 1t is situated so that 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 light"
