Famous Fastnet Lighthouse.

The most famous lighthouse of the
world is that of Fastnet. 1t stands
on a rugged and solitary rock nine
miles south OF Crookhaven, at the ex.
treme southwest corner of Ireland. II
gives the first and last greeting 10 the
transatlantic steamers as they pass to
and from the Old World to the New.
The rock is eighty feet in height, and
the lighthouse towers another seventy
feet above. yet in winter gales the
Atlantic billows literally bombard The
massive structure, and nave even
smashed in portion Of the lantern
at the summit of the erection, The
seas frequently sweeping over the rock
with tremendous force Some two or
three years ago the stormy weather
then prevailing prevented all com
munication with the rock for many
weeks, so that the store of food was
consumed, with the exception Of some
flour. At last schooner managed
to approach sufficiently near to enable
small quantity OF food to be dragged
through the sea to the hungry men:
and. fortunately. the next day the
storm moderated and the stores we're
once more rcplenished Except in
very calm weather the Fastnet is sur.
rounded by a fringe of foam, and tk..
only means of landing is by ,he a..
of lib ffty-eight feet in lengn.

TO REMOVE
A CLOUD
ON TITLE

Chief Justice Douglas and Justices Du-
bois and Blodgett today heard the case
Of Ruth A. jerks against Frank II. jerks
ct al on respondents demurrer to the
bill OF complaint. This Is an equity suit
to remove cloud on title.
It was alleged I'm the bill OF complaint
that the omission Of the testator. from
whom complainant received the land. TO
provide In his will for any OF his chill
dren was not occasioued by accident or
mistake on his part but was intentional,
and Il is further alleged that the com
plainant entered into possession Of all
the real estate upon the death OF the tes-
tator and is still in possession OF part
OF II. Seven grounds were urged In sup
port Of the demurrer
The first OF these was THAT the said
complainant shows by her said bill OF
complaint that she has no present title in
fee In and TO any OF the land mentioned
therein and also that she has no equits-
hle title or interest In the land Counsel
FOR the complainant argued that II the al
legatio in her bill are ture she could
havo no better title though the statute
providing that II parent left a will and
neglected TO mention a child, the child SO
neglected. unless an intention not TO give
the child anything was shown. got its
ehare OF the estate the same as n the
parent had died lntestate left the title Of
complainant as disclosed I'm the office OF
tho records of land evidence doubtful
Mrs. jerks, her counsel further argued,
that she wished the cloud removed so
that he who goes 20 the record of land
evidences may find those records agree
ing with the facts, namely. that the omis-
sion OF the names Of the children OF the
testator I'm said will was intentional and
not occasioned by accident or mistake.
Counsel for tho respondents argued
that a bill TO remove a cloud upon title
to real estate and TO quiet possession
thereof can only be maintained upon
allegation and proof OF both possession
and legal title in the complaint.

plainant and Cooke & Angel represent
