Court Laureate Too Frank.

One of the Shahs of Persia was more
anxious than able to acquire fame as
poet. He had just completed new per-
Torrance in very peculiar meter" and
summoned the court poet into the royal
presence to hear the poem read.
The laureate, when his opinion was
asked, lin theatrical language damned"

The Shah, enraged at this uncourtly
criticism, gave orders that the court poet
should be taken to the stable and tied up
in the same stall with donkey. Here
the poor sinner remained until his royal
rival had perpetrated another poem,
when he was again commanded to ap-
pear before the throne and submit to a
second infection of sovereign dizziness.
He listened in silence while the new
poem was read, and at the conclusion,
his opinion being required, he fell upon
his kness and significantly exclaimed to
the royal author, Send me back to the

Night Changed to Day.

Pointing their long fingers of light into
every corner OF Hampton Roads, and
illuminating every detail Of cloudIand,
searchlights will make night as light as
day during the Jamestown Exposition,
which is to be held next year at SewelPs
Point, near Norfolk, Va.
Just across Hampton Roads from
SewelPs Point is Fortress Monroe, which
is equipped with powerful searchlights,
by means of which a newspaper can be
read five miles away. Every warship at
the Naval Rendezvous next year will also
have searchlights, some of which are so
powerful as to require special engine to
generate their electricity. Among the
largest of these is that just supplied to
the new battleship, Connecticut. The
lens of this searchlight is more than five
feet across. When the maximum power
is being used the lights have an intensity
of sixty thousand candle power, and its
rays can be thrown several miles.
Searchlights were originally adopted
to find torpedo boats at night. They
are now used for signalling, to discover
man overheard, to aid navigation, and
for many other purposes. When man
falls overheard flom one of the great
ships at sea, the searchlight is at once
turned upon him, and the ray is held
there until he is picked up by the boats.
In signalling, a shutter is attached to
the searchlight. This alternately inter
rupts and prolongs or shortens the period
during which the light is visible. By this
means the operator is able to telegraph
forty miles, using any telegraph code. In
Manila harbor, during the instruction,
messages were frequently sent more than
forty miles. by using the clouds as reflec-
tors. This system can be used on cloud
less nights, but the signals cannot be
seen so tar. The searchlight is also used
in signalling on the same principle as
wig-wag flags.
Scarchlight drills take place whenever
squadron lies in harbor, Steam
launches to represent attacking torpedo
boats are sent out from the vessels, with
instructions to return under full speed,
each launch striving to get as close as
possible without being discovered.
Meantime the searchlights are so direc-
ted as to have their rays skim every
square yard of water within the lights
range. Sometimes, even under the Sc
we're glare oflight, the boats succeed in
reaching their ships. In actual war this
would, of course, result i'll the annihila-
ton of the war vessel.
Visitors to the Jamestown Exposition
will have an opportunity to see search.
