Glad of the respite given us from the

ILLUMINATED CROSS.
Modern characterization of Church
>tcepIes Based on IA Unique
Electrical invention.

An illuminated cross at the top of d
church steeple can be seen from great
distance and presents very pleasing
spectacle. but such illumination is
seldom provided owing to the difficulty
Of reaching the lamps when they need
repairs. The expense of hiring a
"Steeple Jack 10 replace lamp when
ever it burns out would obviously far
outweigh the artistic benefits derived
from such illumination. However. an
invention recently patented by Joseph
A. Blenke, of Covington. Ky. provides
a very simple means of gaining access
to the lamps. The means used will be
comprehended by glance at the &C
companying illustrations. 1t will be OBJ
served that the incandescent electric
lamps are mounted on belts which are
stretched over pulleys. The vertical
and two horizontal arms of the cross are
each provided with separate belt. The
arrangement is such that the lowest pull
ley of each belt may be easily reached
from the base of the cross. The lamps
are inclosed in glass case having the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-12-24

shape of cross. The glass is preferably
ground or frosted, so as to diffuse the
light and distribute it more evenly in
the form of a cross.
When for any reason it is desired to
gain access to any one of the lamps the
tower is assembled, and the belt on which
the lamp is mounted may be reached
through a door in the casing near the
base. On pulling this belt the lamp
will be drawn down to within reach of
the hand. The wires through which
the current is fed TO the lamps have
sufficient slack to permit the belt to be
moved to a limited extent After the
lamp has received the necessary atten-
ton or been replaced by a new one, the
series of lamps may be again returned
to the normal position by drawing on
the belt All parts of the illuminated
cross are thus rendered readily accessi-

ELECTRICITY IN WAR.
riOus FOrtiiicatiOns on Our
Coast Lines.

An interesting instance of the rapid
extension OF the use of electricity is
furnished by the Notifications distrib-
uted along our coast. A few years ago
the electric light was introduced to add
to the comfort of the garrisOns and to
provide better illumination of the
works. Once a generating plant had
been installed there was at hand a sup
ply OF power in a convenient and cas-
lily cOntrOllable form, and this led to
its use for purposes which were con-
templated at the time the plant was
installed. Electric fans have been put
in to make the living quarters more
comfortable in hot weather. and cleo
trio motors have been adOptedfOrtrain-
ing the guns, a class of work for which
they are particularly well adapted. Mo-
tors are used TO drive the ammunition
hOists and do other work which be-
fore had either been done by hand or
