Fear.

Fear.
I Sear no foe. All man can do dare;
Where honor calls or duty bids go:
Mine enemy l meet and fight him fair;
fear 40 foe.
I fear not failure. Fate defeat may
send
In brave new aims arc blighted hopes
forgot.
And though repeated unsuccess impend
1t daunts me not.
fear not Death. Although the despot
grim
Attack me with unconquerable might.
Ere yield up my vanquished self to him
I'll bravely fight.
Yet before one dread thought my spirit
quails.
What II my coward soul prove insin-
cere?
And this base fear alone my heart as
sails:
The fear Of Fear.

In addition she Is equipped with an 49,
inch searchlight which throws a steady
beam to the southwark and eastward
about midway between the horizon and
zenith. The effect of this lamp Is best
in cloudy weather when the clouds hang
low and it produces a weird effect that
has been reported to have been seen at q
distance OF 40 miles.
To keep the vessel on her station re-
quired an enormous anchor and chain.
The anchor. which Is Of the mushroom
type, weighs 1880 pounds and as she Is
moored in $50 feet Of water the chain,
each link Of which Is one and fve-eighths
of an inch in diameter, Is 100 feet long
and weighs IS, 200 pounds. This chain Is
attached to a great iron cask which acts
as a float, as 1t would be impossible for
the ship to sustain its weight and from
the float another chain Of equal size
leads through a hawse pipe In the nose
Of the vessel to huge windlass provided
with coll springs to take up the strain.
In event of the chain parting, as II
does sometimes, the ship is not altogether
helpless, as she is equipped with an en-
CINE and has a set of sails to enable her
to ride out the gale and to return to her
station when the storm has abated. 1t
was by this means that Cape Lookout
Shoals. No. 80, worked her way to port
after having broken adrift last April.
The hrst llghtship established on Dia-
mond Shoals was on September 30, 1897,
when No. go was sent there. Although
she was at that time the best the de-
partmept lad ever built, and was thought
to be equipped with anchor and chain Of
sufficient weight to keep her there for
ever. in August 1899. during that mem
orable hurricane that will ever be re-
membered along the Atlantic Coast al
the most destructive in history, the light
ship broke adrift during the height Of the
gale and after drifting for q few hours
went ashore.
1t was almost a miracle that her crew

none whose post Is fraught with the peril
and hardship of the station on Diamond
Shoals. While other ships are sent to
their stations to remain there permanent
~. the crews being relieved from time to
time and the supplies being brought to
them by the lighthouse tenders. the
tempestuous weather Of the Diamond
Shoals Is such that the vessels have to
be relieved every three months, and for
these shoals there are two vessels which
alternate on that station.
These vessels are the highest type of
their class and are constructed especially
for that particular service, although the
ships that have been built within the past
few years are nearly like them. Owing
to the loss Of Nantucket Shoals lightship,

that a boat of moderate dimensions will
ride the seas with much more ease and
with less longitudinal strain than a large
vessel. and for that reason the lightships
have been kept small, the largest of them
being only 115 feet over all. scarcely the
size of an ordinary river steamer.
What they lack in size they make up In
strength Of construction, and since they
have no records for fast moving to break
and their usefulness cons: 9 Of staying
in one place. every feature of the ordi-
nary sea going craft gives way to strength
and stability. The modern lightships are
designed with view to being steady In
all kinds of weather. and, while they are
far from being what the landsman would
call easy. they are, nevertheless, far su-
perior to the average vessel at anchorage.
There are at present 40 lightships In

length are vast areas of shoals which
extend out miles and miles, and the bot
tom is of SUCH a character that light
houses cannot be built, and even II they
were 1t is doubtful whether they could
be maintained.
With the establishing Of the first light
ship along The northern or down-east
coast there came a demand from other
sections OF the coast for similar protec-
ton for its shipping. and that demand is
being heard even to this day, and 1t Is
probable that within the next decade the
service on The Atlantic Coast will be in
creased materially and number Of
shoals have lightships over them.

We are growing madden every year.
Insanity Is stalking throughout the land,
a hideous specter, increasing In growth
out of all proportion to the swelling popu-
lation. In one year. between 1903 and
1904. there was an increase In certified lu-
natics in England and Wales Of not less
than 1924, the total being III. 19o. On
this basis the future scarcely bears look
ing at, for, II the population Is main-
tanned at the present rate and lunacy
grows in proportion. 146,76s people will
be lunatics In 1914. an increase upon the
figures Of last year of %, $50. This mad
ness Is costing and will cost us millions.
for the majority of these unfortunate
people are paupers and a charge ON the
state. OF the huge total OF III, 199 luna
tics only 9,551 in 1904 were In private or
paying institutions, and the continued In
crease of insanity is almost entirely
amongst the poor. In eight years we
shall have a further increase OF 2e,e65
pauper lunatics to provide for, and this
will mean that between f5,25O.OOo and
&c SOC. 600 will have to be found some
where, for the present accommodation Is
already taxed to its utmost capacity.
Why are we losing our senses so rapidly!
Drink Is popularity supposed to be a cause
of lunacy: but We are drinking less beer.
less spirits, less wine than hitherto. The
people have not had the money to spend
in drowning their sorrows In drink They
have not been able to thus gain forget
fulness Of their troubles. Is II BECAUSE,
drinking less, they brood more over their
worries until they go madi The facts
would seem to point so. Londou~alone
contributes %, 759 irnatics to the grand
total every year.
1t Il not the wefl-to-do and middle class
who can afford TO do and drink that sup
ply Londons lunatics. That much Is
proved by the fact that of the 24.2sz
supported by the city only 2,447 patients
are paid for. Drink Is only very minor
cause OF lunacy. The primary causes are
the rush Of life, worry and poverty. De-
preston In trade, leading to poverty. and
incessant worry finds reflection In the
large proportion OF iunacy cases among
the working classes These elements that
make for despair and ultimate insanity
are assisted by the monotonors grind that
has to be maintained for mere existence
and the conditions under which that ex-
istence il passed

struggle for LIE, Is seen at Its worst

did not perish. and It was only due to her
superior strength that she outiived the
onslaughts Of the monstrous waves, for
she was carried across the shoals, and
when the storm abated she was left on
the beach high and dry q hundred feet
from the waters edge.
She was not the only vessel that went
ashore during that eventful storm. There
were a score of others that piled mp on
the beach almost under the shadow OF
Hatteras light. but Of them all she was
the only one that survived. and few
weeks later she was pulled or into deep
water, and today she is doing duty none
the worse for her experience.
Another lightsh1p that survived q trip
ashore under similar conditions was the
Columbia River Bar, on the Pacific Coast.
In n storm OF unusual severity she broke
adrift and was carried on the crest Of Q
wave across more than two miles of
shoals less then six feet deep and landed
