A Light That Failed.

There has been sold by public auc.

in Paris an old lantern farelight,
which almost deserved a place in the
national museum.
After the downfall of Napoleon l., al
though he had been Gagged up by the
Powers in Elba-securely, as they
thought-Louis XVIII felt himself
much too near the archdestroyer of
thrones, and had fitted up at the head
OF Cape Corsica a powerful light
equipped with ref1ectors capable of
hghting up the Mediterranean for sew
eral leagues around. One night some
body forgot" to light up that flare
and, by curious coincidence" the
very next morning Bonaparte had
q landed in the Gulf of San Juan.
