Useful Light.

Stationed OF the island of Islay, on
the west coast Of Scotland. at the OF
ter Rock, there is an interesting and
novel light-ship. which is described in
Casselrs Magazine.
It is unnamed, yet it can be relied
on to display the warning light to
guide the mariner on this dangerous
coast. 1t is very ingeniously con-
structed vessel. and the only one Of its
kind In existence. In It's two steel
tanks sufficient gas can be stored to
supply the vessel for several months.
Experiments have shown that the
light may be depended upon to burn
continuously for months at a time.
The approximate duration of the light
can always be predetermined. and
there il no danger whatever of tho
light being extinguished either by
wind or spray.
The light is visible at a distance Of
eight to twelve miles. The light-ship
also has a bell. which is made to ring
automatically by means Of an ingeni.

dertook its care. The disposition they
have decided to make of it is an admir-
able one.
Stonewall Jackson purchased the
house shortly after he became profess
sor in the Virginia Military Institute.
1t was altogether too big for his little
family, but was the only available
house in town at the time and he took
it, with the idea that it would be of
temporary service. This was in 1853.
Before he could build one better suited
to the needs of himself and wife, the
war came on and the soldier-teacher
went forth to death and immortal
fame.
The house is on East Washington
street in Lexington, Va. 1t is built of
stone and brick. With the exception of
the main entrance it maintains pretty
much the same appearance as it did
when the Confederate leader lived there.

Excursion to Caribbean IsIes Ends

The Quebec Steamship Company 8
steamer Madiana. Captain Fraser, which
| sailed from New York with a party of
excursionists, seven of them from Chi
cago, for special cruise around the
Caribbean Islands, went ashore on the
reef off Hamilton, Bermuda. The pas
sengers had thrilling experience. The
ship Is total loss, but all on board were
rescued and brought safely to land after
a perilous trip in lifeboats from the
wreck to tug standing mile of. The
mails and the passengers baggage also
were saved.
According to statements made by those
on board the Madiana was threading her
way in the night through the narrow
channel between the coral reefs which
leads to Hamilton harbor when she
struck reef one and half miles north
east of North rock. All the passengers
were in their hunks when the Madiana
struck the rocks. but the shock of the
impact awOke them and they rushed ON
deck, the majority without attempting to
dress, TO find that the vessel was fast on
the rocks.
The Madiana listed heavily after
time, and when morning broke lay broad
side to the wind. The passengers were
huddled together on the hurricane decl-
and the sea breaking over the steamer
drenched them to the skin. For some
time no communication with the Ma
diana was possible. The tug Fladisfen
stood about a mile off awaiting an oppor-
tunity 10 assist. but it was not until II
O'Clock that it became possible to effect
rescue.
The crew of the Madiana launched n
boat, but it could not live in the sea
then running and was dashed to pieces
against the steamers side. A second and
more successful attempt was made lit
tie later and some of the passengers were
lowered into it and after much exertion
1t succeeded in reaching the Gladisfen.
The Madiana's other lifeboats were then
in succession and the remainder
of the passengers and the captain and
crew gained the salvage tug in safety.

tory. Premier Balfour's speech at Liver

and to large extent commits her allies,
Germany and Italy, to the same opinion.
The recent affairs was unquestionably the
most formidable concerted attack ever
made on the doctrine, and as result
Europe is turning its tail between its legs,

that the Venezuelan affair has giver the
Monroe doctrine a practical force in inter-
