THOUGHT AND LONG LIFE.
Hard to Prove Theory That Brain
Workers Live Long.


An English scientific paper puts
forth the opinion that brainwork is
conducive to longevity. In support of
the theory it notes that Herbert
Spencer died in his eighty-fourth year,
Darwin in his seventy-third, Carlyle
in his eighty-sixth; Tyndall was acct
dentally poisoned when he was 70,
Huxley was 20 when he died, Glad
stone was 80, Disraeli II, Newton So,
and Lord Kelvin is still vigorous at
80. This is an encouraging showing,
and we who daily engage in deep
thought might well look forward with
confidence to the future if it were
not for the discomforting fact that
Ann Maginnis, 127 years of age and
unable to read or write, is living in
a New Jersey poorhouse, while Will
liam Spindler, who proudly boasts
that he has been a constant drinker
OF whisky during the past ninety
seven years, and who shamelessly
says. Il done it" and had went" is,
at the grand old age of 11S, being
taken care of by one of the counties
OF Pennsylvania. We do not wish to
discourage people who are inclined
to think, but it would not be fair to
the many octogenarians now extant
who think only of their pipes and their
toddy, to let them get the impression
that we believe they are exceeding
their privileges in continuing to abide
with us.-Exchange

out of the door I was arrested by
paroxysm of coughing that shook him

He should have remained in Col

foreboding.
AS the days went by I called to see
him frequently, and always to find

man in attendance, propped up with
pillows in large chair facing a win

him intending to raise him up, but

and thin, scarlet stream trickled
from his lips. Slowly he raised his
hand and pointed towards the cur

Intellectual gasp, and 1 knew the end

EaStport all the way along the At
1antic to the Florida reefs.
One of the most interesting lights
on the New England coast is Minot's
Ledge, which marks the entrance to
Boston harbor. 1t stands on the same
spot where stood the old Minot light,
swept away in the storm of 1851, in
which the keepers lost their lives
The present structure ranks among
the great searock lighthouses of the
world. This tower, buffeted by wind
and wave, looms up through the lone
ly dark hours while storms blow and
seas dash themselves against its base,
the lantern at it's head constantly
flashing a signal that can be seen for
sixteen miles. The light is manipu-
lated by an ingenious piece of clock
work. 1t shines once, then there is
an eclipse of three seconds; then it
flashes three times, and, having told
its number, there is an interval of
darkness until the number is repeat
ed. In the recent terrific storms that
swept the New England coast many
a sailor took heart again on seeing
the light on Minot's Ledge.
Probably the most exposed light
house on the Atlantic coast is the
outer Diamond Shoal, off Cape Hat
teras. This house is seven and one
half miles from the pitch of the cape
in the open ocean Many brave mari
ners have gone down to death off this
light, their ships dashed to pieces on
the treacherous reefs and the keepers
of the lighthouse unable to render
them assistance.
Along the Florida coast stands an
important lighthouse, built by Gen.
Meade on Collins Patches on Som
brero Key, about fifty miles east of
Key West 1t is in eight feet of water
and gives range light of over TWEEN
ty statute miles. Another interesting
beacon is the Fowey Rocks Light
house, built on the extreme northern
point of the Florida reefs. 1t is much
exposed to the elements, and regard
ed as a dangerous post for keepers.
The most powerful light in the
world is the one that flashes it's rays
through modern lenses on the Nave
sink Highlands. This light, according
to the manufacturers, throws a beam
having a candle-power of 100000,
as compared with a candle-power Of
80 ,000, 900 at the new electric fash
light tower recently constructed by

houses provided with red sectors,
whose rays intersect.
Mariners have no fear of storms
out at sea, providing they have a good
vessel under them and plenty Of room
to move about. 1t is when nearing
land and the flash of beacon light
warns them that treacherous reefs
