MINoT LEDGE LIGHTHOUSE.
rhe First one Was swept Away with
Its Occupants.

Its Occupants.
The first lighthouse on Minot's ledge
was built In 1s4S 1t was an octagonal
tower resting on the tops Of eight
wrought iron piles eight inches in diam
etsr and sixty feet high. with their
bases sunk five feet In the rock. These
piles were braced together In many
ways, and, as they offered less surface
to the waves than a solid structure, this
lighthouse was considered by all au-
thorities upon the subject to be excep-
tionally strong.
Its great test came in April, 1851. On
the 18th of that month, two keepers
being In the lighthouse, an easterly
gale set in, steadily Increasing in force.
People on shore, and no doubt the
keepers themselves, watched the heavy
seas sweep harmlessly through the net
work of piles beneath the house and
feared no harm. On the 18th, however,
the wind and sea had greatly increased
and the waves were flung higher and
higher toward that tower In the air.
Yet all thought they surely could not
reach sixty feet above the ledge.
That night was one Of keen anxiety,
for the gale still increased, and all
through that dreadful driving storm
and darkness the faithful keepers were
at their posts, for the light burned
brightly. On Wednesday, the 10th, the
gale had become a hurricane, and when
at times the tower could be seen
through the mists and sea drift 1t
seemed to bend to the shock of the
waves. At o'clock that afternoon an
ominous proof Of the fury Of the waves
on Minot's ledge reached the shore,
a platform which had been built be-
tween the piles only seven feet below
the floor of the keepers room. The
raging seas then were leaping fifty feet
in the air. Would they reach ten feet
higher, for II so the house and the
keepers were doomed? Nevertheless,
when darkness set In the light shone
out as brilliantly as ever. But the gale
seemed, IL possible, then to increase.
What agony those two men must have
suffered! How that dreadful abode
must have swayed in the irresistible
hurricane, and trembled at each crash
ing seal The poor unfortunates must
have known that If those seas, leaping
always higher and higher, reached their
house 1t would be flung down into the
ocean and they would be buried with
1t beneath the waves.
To those hopeless, terrified watchers
the entombing sea came at last. at !
o'clock In the morning the lighthouse
bell was heard by those on shore to
give mournful clang, and the light
was extinguished. 1t was the funeral
knell of two patient heroes.
Next day there remained on the rock
only eight Jagged iron stumps.

Telephone Service
for the Farmer.


A telephone may be only con-
venience to a city man. it is neces-
sity 10 the Farmer. Think what
it means to sit at home and be in
instant communication with your
neighbors, the stores in town, your
doctor, in fact. the whole world.
Self preservation is the first law of
nature. 1t is almost criminal for a
farmer to be without phone.
Does S cents day seem so very
much to pay for all the comfort
and profit of a telephone on the
farm?
A postal, or a call by telephone,
will bring an agent to see you.

This year Is witnessing some re-
markable expeditions to the north and
the south polar regions. A half dozen
or more parties have started or are
going to start in the effort to uncover
the mysteries of these frozen regions,
and the interesting and unusual thing
about some Of them Is the effort TO
utilize modern invention in overcom-
ing the obstacles Of ice and snow In
making the journey. Last year the
world was kept on the alert by the
Wellman balloon expedition. which
made great preparations, but never
made any practical or determined ef-
fort to carry out its plans. This year
we have Peary making preparations
for another start for the pole. the In
trepid explorer laying his plans care
fully along the lines which experience
has taught him are the only practical
ones of realizing his hopes. Lieut..
Shackleton of the royal navy OF Great
Britain started last year for the Ant
arctic regions and is there now
equipped with motor sled on which ne
hopes to make long journeys which
would be impossible with dogs or
ponies. Amundsen, 1t is said, is train
ing polar bears with the expectation
of using them instead OF dogs In q
dash for the pole. And there are 9TH
ers who propose to try to reach the
pole by novel means Of transportation.
DIR. Jean Charcot, the famous French
Antarctic explorer, has been testing In
the SHOWS of the Alps a motor sled
which he proposes to use In another
effort to reach the south pole. for
which regions he is planning to start
In August next. It is his plan to take
three motor.driven sledges to aid him
in reaching his goal. Each sledge ID
furnished with a "a horsepower motor
connected with huge, wide wheel. re-
sembling the propeller of a paddle
boat. A series of experiments recent
" carried out by DR.. Charcot on the
snowclad declivities OF the Hautes
Alpes. in Dauphiny, have proved re-
MARI IDLY successful, the sledge climb
ing the hills and dropping down into
the valleys at a uniform speed OF eight
miles an hour, and never getting be-
You'd control.
Lieut.. Barnes Of the British navy
also has constructed motor sledge
which he cherishes the hope will aid
in forcing the secrets of the frozen
norsh, and which 1t may be his good
fortune to drive fairly up to the goal
wh,ch SO many are seeking.
