On approaching land one needs to
know how far he is from the lighthouse
or headland in sight Triangulation
tells him. Two points on land being
taken for the base of the triangle, lines
from these points, representing the
other two sides of the triangle, are
drawn until they intersect. That apex
of the triangle will be the point where
the observer is. Then the distance
from his point to the land can be easily
calculated.
The maritime wars under Napoleon
disclosed the dangerous ignorance of
French mariners about their own sea-
coast. French vessels were unable to
break or run their enemies blockade.

Groups of buoys with graphing irons

are then towed until they strike a

may be seen at great depths from great

A WONDER OF JAPAN.
The Famous Castle of the Gold Dol
phins at Nishma.

PMAhS at
Is the novel castle at Nishma, Japan,
the palace which Marco Polo described
in his tale of the marvels of far Cathay
as covered with gold slabs? At the
ends of the ridge of the pyramidal
structure are large solid gold dolphins
Beneath the pile is well which is lit
orally a sailed gold mine. 1t is gold
lined and will hold sufficient water to
supply 5000 persons. The dolphins,
which We're placed on the top several
centuries ago, have excited the curiosi-
ty of foreign relic hunters, as any one
might imagine they would. So many
have climbed to the top of the high
structure to discover by testing if they
are real gold that the dolphins have
become seriously disfgured. Strong
steel wire bags have been put over
them to prevent further vandalism.
Only by good fortune does one of
these dolphins still grace the old cas-
tie A number of years ago it was tax
en- down and sent to Vienna for eXhi-
bition at the worlds fair held there as
rare specimen of ancient Japanese
art. The vessel ON which it was being
returned sank, and it lay at the bottom
of the sea for several years in spite of
every attempt to raise it. Persistence
was rewarded at last, for it was finally
recovered and placed again in its old
position.
The castle is used by the emperor of
Japan as his headquarters during the
army and navy reviews. State balls
are also held there. = Chicago Inter

Lava.

Lava may be blown into opaque bot
ties of gossamer lightness, and the
harder sort makes beautiful green
glass of half the weight and double the
strength of ordinary glass. But it is
not always the same Every volcano
pours out its own special brand of
molten mixture, disagreeable to walk
ON, but sometimes yielding precious
products, as pumice stone. Lava, like
all things, decomposes under the touch
of time, as the fertile plains of Sicily
testify.

Giant Tomato Plants.

The largest tomato plants in the
world are found in California. One
grower has three plants which have
reached a length Of thirty feet. In
three months from the time the seeds
were planted the vines had climbed to
the top Of twenty foot trellis. The
trunks of these plants, says What to
Eat, are one and half inches in di-
ameter and the foliage is thick and
luxuriant. Enormous quantities Of to-
matoes have been picked from them
and the fruit is of unusual size, pos
sessing an extraordinary fine favor.

Oddly Shaped Spiders.

The most peculiar spiders in the
world, as well as the largest ones, in
habit the island of Sumatra. They are
of all conceivable forms and colors, and
some of them spin threads almost as
large and strong as the grocer's Irvine.
Some -queerly shaped spiders have
square bodies poised on long red legs,
and others have crooked green and vel
low legs which support heart shaped
bodies. One of the very oldest Of the
lot has body that looks like that of
a young turtle, the 'shelp' having round
knobs and pear shaped projections all
over It.

"toilet" is defined as ga kind of Table

Satin, Velvet or Tissue, spread upon
Table in a Bed Chamber where Per-

is given in Bailey's dictionary. The
origin of the word is curious, for Cot

the stuff which diapers lay about their
cloths; also a bag to put nightgowns
in" In the "Rape of the Lock-" l,
