LIGHTHOUSE WITH NO LIGHT
Cone of Cast Iron Plates with Lantern
Containing Prism is Fully as
Effective.

On a sunken reef $50 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse is a re-
markable beacon which warns mari
ners with the help of a light which
is only apparent.
The beacon is a cone Of cast iron
plates surmounted with a lantern
containing a glass prism. The prism
derives its light from refracting the
rays emitted from the lighthouse,
and the optical delusion is marvel
Gus.
Mariners naturally suppose that
there is a lighted lamp on the beacon
itself, and many of them will not be-
lieve otherwise. But the object of
the beacon is attained when the navi-
gator sees the reflected light, which
indicates the periIous rock below.
This beacon has been in use more
than half century and since it was
fixed in position others have been
placed in other neighborhoods to
make clear points of danger.-Tech-

COUNTY FAIR
BEING PUSHED
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.

With $4,000 stock already sub
scribed, the committees appointed
to canvass for stock in the Faux
ner County Fair association, are
again at work today soliciting sub
scriptions, and are meeting With
every encouragement. On &C
count of the deplorable tragedy OF
last Tuesday, no effort was made
to secure further subscriptions at
ter the first of the week, and the
$4,000 subscribed represents mainly
the voluntary subscriptions which
have been made without soliClta-
ton. But for the fact that no one
is allowed to subscribe for more
than four shares, the necessary
capital stock could easily be Sc
cured from three or four men who
are especially interested, but it IS
thought best to place this limit in
order to distribute the stock among
as many holders as possible.
All of the business men and the
farmers who have been IN the city
during the past few days are en-
thusiastic over the proposition to
have a county fail. next fall, and
everyone seems to favor planning
the fair on a large scale and max
ing it second to no county fair
in the state. Since the news of
the organization has been publish
ed Secretary c.. L. Banner has re-
ceived communications from Bates
vile, Carlisle, Fayetteville and
other places desiring to know on
what dates our fair is to be held,
50 that a circuit may be formed in
this state and horses and ConCes-
sions taken from one fair to the
other without a conflict in dates.

Miss E. L. Todd of New York is a
deep student Of the problems Of
aeronautics. She is actively engaged
in constructing a flying machine,
and, being skilled in the use of tools,
has built her own models. Her
aeroplane is designed to maintain
perfect equilibrium, by having the
car of the machine so arranged that
it can alter the position of its cen
ter Of gravity independent of the
wings. Miss Todd is the first wom-
an to take up this line of work. She
is also conducting classes for chill
dren to instruct them in the practical
uses of flying machines and dirigible

MOTORING BY SEARCHLlGHT.

Only with a swivel lamp is it
possible to determine the sharpness
Of turns and their radius at night
before striking them, thereby en-
abling the driver to regulate his
speed to suit each turn. In topping
the crest of a rise, the swivel search
light can be depressed to throw the
light down the incline on the other
side, while the fixed headlights are
still projecting their rays uselessly
into the sky. The searchlght IS Of
the greatest convenience, too, in
reading crossroads signboards at
night when, without the swivel fea-
ture, it would be necessary either to
maneuyer the ear into an awkward
positiont to throw the light of the fixed
lamps upon the sign, or for some
one in the machine to get out and
light a match in front of it-a pro-
ceeding that has its difficulties on a
windy night.-Recreation.

Proud Boast of Woman Pastor Who

Is the woman parson a panacea for
the divorce evil? Rev. Anna Shaw

sions on 80 years experience in
marrying couples, not one of whom

monial bonds set aside.
On Cape Cod, where the we'll

a Methodist minister, she was eX-

for couples to come from nearby

"and it is a matter of great delight
to me that these marriages have
turned out 50 well.
II attribute the large number of
successful marriages which have
fallen to my share as a minister to
the fact that any man who is broad
minded enough to be married by a

SEES PROFIT IN TOMATOES
DeQueen Man Says From SIS to $50 an

De Queen, March 6.-Special.-
Upon report to be made this at

mato growing industry in this
vicinity. If report to be made to
a gathering of fruit and vegetable
growers of the county is favorable
plans will be begun Immediately
for the erection of a cooperative
canning factory. A committee
consisting of A. Johnson, J. D.
Brizendine, S. H. Nelson and r.
c. Setliff has been engaged this
week in interviewing farmers in an
effort to ascertain how many acres
would be planted in tomatoes pro-
viding the cooperative cannery

ficient to supply good sized can
ming factory the plant will be built.
H. Wolfe, president of the Farmers
aod Truck Growers association is
one of the ardent advocates Of the
tomato growing industry. He
said:
"The trouble with many farmers
is if they cant make from SIS to
500 on an experimental crop they
go back to raising cotton at $40 an
acre. With tomatoes selling at SIS
ton from SIS to $50 can easily be
made on each acre"
