SAVED BY LIGHTNING.

A remarkable story is told by the
LeSeur, Mimi, correspondent for the
Chicago Chronicle. The correspondent
says that Jacob Vardman, farmer
of Blake Township, in this county. and
his wife and three small children were
saved from death in n most remark
able manner recently. They were on
their way home from t6Nn, driving
team of powerful horses, when the
animals We're frightened by dog that
ran out and barked at them. The
when Mr.. Nardman attempted to rein
them in both lines broke, leaving him
without any control ever the team.
The animals realized this at once and
ran at high speed down the road. The
bridge is washed out at the Remson
farm and the road fenced off at the
first corner this side TO make travellers
drive around the other way. but the
runaway team paid no attention to the
barrier. They smashed through the
light obstruction and rushed along,
headed directly for the rocky thirty
foot gully that formerly had been
spanned by the bridge.
Mr.. Nardman attempted to creep out
on the tongue of the wagon, and thus
prevented from doing SO by his wife
and the children, who clung to him so
closely, in a paroXysm of fear, that he
could not free himself from them. The
gully was only 100 feet ahead. and the
endangered family seemed to have but
few seconds more to live, when help
came in a marvellous way. A storm
was coming up and the heavens We're
shrouded in a black pail of clouds, rent
now and again by vivid flashes of
lightning, succeeded by deafening
peals of thunder and just as the ragged
chasm seemed yawning at their very
feet gittering lance of electricity
shot down from the clouds and pierced
the running horses through and
through. They instantly fell dead.
their bodies sliding along the road as
far as their own momentum and that
of the wagon would carry them. and
came to stop within less than ten
feet of the edge of the ravine. Some
persons who were not far away, and
who were looking on ut the time, ran
at once to give what aid they could.
They found the Vardmans all lying
senseless in the wagon, but only pros.
trated by the shock. and all soon fully
recovered. Mr.. Vardman's horses were
insured against lightning in st. Paul

has offered to pay him the loss, which
is $3.50. but he will not accept the

tude for the wonderful escape OF him

Especial Correspondence.)

1t Is impossible to say when in the
age OF man guiding lights to prevent
mariners from shipwreck first came
into use. 1t is claimed that Virgil
had knowledge of lighthouses, and
that. according to him, one was
placed on a tower OF the temple of
Apollo. Homer refers to lighthouses
and the Colossus OF Rhodes, erected
300 B. c.. undoubtedly bore in his up
lifted hand a signal light. But the ia.
nous Pharos of Alexandria, built
about 285 B. c., is the first light OF
undoubted record. The lighthouse at
Corunna, Spain. is the oldest existing
one In the world. 1t was built in the
reign Of Trajan.
The lighthouse system of this coun.
try began with its commerce. The
first lighthouse on this continent was
built at the entrance to Boston har.
Dor. on Little Brewster island. in 1715.

world. 1923 lighthouses and 46 light
ships are in the United States. These
are in charge of 1926 lighthouse keep
ers, assisted by 2,S79 laborers and
crews.
The shape, size, height and material
employed in the construction of light
houses depend largely upon the loca-
tion, character of the soil and the
amount Of money appropriated for
their erection. Prior to 1910 there
were only two forms of lighthouses
conical towers of rubble stone ma
sonry and wooden frame towers,
erected upon the roofs of the keepers

are stately, sentinel-like structures
and varied in form-models of archi-
tectural beauty. affording ideal health

crowd" to those in charge of them.
Varied Systems Used.
The systems and modes of construc-
tion used in building the lighthouses
on our coasts and lakes are the iron
pile system, of which old Minot's
Ledge lighthouse was an example,
and the Mitchell screw-pile system,
used principally in southern waters,
built on coral reefs, of which Thin
BILE Shoal lighthouse is fair speci-
men. The use of iron plates for build
ing lighthouses on dry foundations
met with little favor in this country
at first; but in later years, when the
excellence Of iron as a material for
building purposes became known, 1t
came into larger use. Iron skeleton
