ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES.
Beacon Lights For Mariners Coeva
With the EarIiesf Commerce.

Beacon Lights For Mariners Coeval
with the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to a safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earlf-
est commerce. There is positive record
that lighthouses were built In ancient
times, though few evidences now re-
main to us from old writers or in crum-
bled ruins. This is not strange, for light
towers, never the most stable architec-
tural form, were exposed to the storms
of sea and war.
The Greeks attributed the first light
houses to Hercules, and he was consid-
cred the protector of voyagers. 1t is
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses In the nineteenth book of
the "Iliad.'
Virgil mentions a light on a temple
to Apollo which, visible far out at sea,
warned and guided mariners. The Co
fossus at Rhodes, erected about 300
B. c., is said to have shown a signal
light from its uplifted hand.
The oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans in lower Egypt. They
were temples also, and the lightkeeper
priests taught pilotage, photography
and navigation. The famous tower on
the isle of Pharos at Alexandria, built
about 2S5 B. c., is the first lighthouse
of undoubted record. This tower, con-
structed by Sostratus, the architect,
was square in plan, of great height and
built in offsets. An open brazier at the
top of the tower contained the fuel for
the light. At Dover and Boulogne, on
either side of the English channel, were
ancient lighthouses built by the Ro-
mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna,
Spain, built in the reign of Trajan and
reconstructed in 1884, is believed to be
the oldest existing lighthouse.

The Humming Bird FIower.

Alletedo avasisis, the wonderful so
called ''humming bird flower Of the
plains of eastern Turkey, stands unique
and alone among the many specimens
of floral mimicry that have been classi-
fed by modern botanists. 1t is a beau
tfful blossom Of variegated hues, the to-
tai length of the entire flower being
about one and three-quarter inches. AS
one might imagine from its name, it is
an exact image Of a miniature hum
ming bird The breast is green, the
wings deep rose color, the throat vel
low and the head and beak almost pure
black. The only particular in which il
Is not a perfect bird is that the stem
gives it the appearance of having but a
single leg and foot.

FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
1t Occurred In Rome and Took Place
In the Year 800 b. c.

1t Occurred In Rome and Took Place
In the Year 800 b. c.
kkxy in his famous book, THE An
n&ls," 9, 80, relates in the following
suggestive words the story of singu-
lar strike which occurred in Rome in
the year 300 B. G. and was probably
the first strike ever known:
That year occurred an event little
worthy of being related and which l
would pass in silence had it not ap-
peared as involving religion. The flute
players, dissatisfied because the latest
censors had forbidden them to take
part In the banquet In Jupiter's temple,
according to the ancient custom, with
drew, every one of them, to Thur, so
that nobody was left at Rome to play
during the sacrifices. This incident
shocked the religious sentiment of the
senate, and the senators sent messen-
gers to invite the inhabitants of Thur
to make every effort in order that the
players should be restored to the Ro-
mans The Tiburtines, having prom
ised not to neglect anything necessary
for that purpose, caused the flute play
ers to come to the place where the SEN
ate met and exhorted them to go back
to Rome. Seeing that they could not
prevail upon them to do so, they en-
ployed a stratagem in keeping with
their character.
On a day of festival under pretext
that music would increase the joy of
the feast every citizen invited the flute
players individually to his house, and
wine, of which people of that profess
sion are usually fond, was given to
them In such quantities that they fell
into a deep sleep. They were then
thrown into wagons and transported to
Rome. They only became aware of
what had happened on the day after,
when dawn surprised them lying on the
carts, which had been left in the forum.
A large crowd had assembled, and they
were induced to promise that they
would remain at Rome The right of at
tending the banquets was restored to
these flute players.

NAPoLEoN,s ESCAPES.
Reckless of Danger, the Great Sci.
der Was Often Wounded.

Reckless of Danger, the Great Sell
der Was Often Wounded.
In reply to the question In what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been In the greatest danger Of
losing his life Napoleon once said, TN
the commencement of my campaigns"
Indeed, If further proof were demanded
to show that he did not spare himself
at Toulon 1t Is only necessary to add
that during the ten weeks Of its siege
Napoleon, In addition to a bayonet
wound in his thigh, had three horses
shot under him, while at the siege Of
Acre during the expedition to Egypt he
lost no fewer than four in the same
manner
During the last days of his life, when
captivity, disappointment and sickness
had well nigh completed their work, 1t
is said that the agony of his fatal dis
ease drew from him on many occasions
the pitiful cry Of, why did the cannon
balls spare mef'
During his long military career Napo-
leon fought sixty battles, while Caesar
fought but fifty. In the early part Of
his career he was utterly reckless Of
danger while on the battlefield, and this
spirit of fearlessness contributed large
ly to the love and esteem in which he
was held by his armies. There was a
curious belief among the English in Ma
poleon's time that he had never been
wounded, and indeed the report was
current that he carefully if not in a
cowardly manner refrained from ex-
posing himself. Nothing could be more
contrary to the truth, for he was in re-
atty several times severely wounded,
but as he wished to impress upon his
troops the belief that good fortune new
er deserted him and that, like Achilles,
he was well nigh invulnerable, he al
ways made q secret of his many dan
gers. He therefore enjoined once for
all upon the part of his immediate staff
the most absolute silence regarding all
circumstances of this nature, for it is
almost impossible to calculate the con-
fusion and disorder which would have
resulted from the slightest report or the
smallest doubt relative to his existence.
Upon the single thread of this mans
life depended not only the fate and gov
eminent of a great empire, but the
whole policy and destiny of Europe as
we'll
