New EcnchY Head LIchthouae,

In 1928 lighthouse was erected on
one of the seven white cliffs OF Beachy
Head, the wcll-known headland on the
south coast Of England. The height
of the light above the sea was 2S4 feet,
the cliff itself being 242 feet above
tide. The lighthouse was originally
built 100 feet back from the edge Of the
cliff. or late years several heavy falls
OF chalk have occurred. and the struc-
ture Is now less than seventy feet from
annihilation. 1t Is evidently simply n
question of time when the whole mass
OF masonry and iron will fall into the
sea. This has led to the construction
of a new lighthouse on the sands below
the cliff. This has just been complet-
ed; its light was shown first on October
2. 1t Is 142 feet In height. and built Of
stones, each one of which is dovetalled
into its neighbor, SO that the whole
mass really consists Of one immense
boulder. Its light is made by an oil
vapor burner working on the KitsOn
plan. and is of 240,250 candle power.
1t gives two flashes every twenty Sec

% 900 candles. The new light not only
gives ten times the light. but uses only
