A Liuhtless Lighthouse.

On a sunken reef $50 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse is a re-
markable beacon which warns mari
ners with the help of light which
is only apparent. The beacon is a
cone of cast-iron plates, surmounted
with lantern containing a glass
prism. The prism derives its light
from refracting rays emitted from the
lighthouse, and the optical delusion is
marvellous. Mariners naturally sup
pose that there is lighted lamp on
the beacon itself and many Of them
will not believe otherwise. But the
object Of the beacon is attained when
the navigator sees the reflected light,
which indicates the perilous rock be-
low. This beacon has been in use
more than half century, and since 1t
was fixed in position others have been
placed in other neighborhoods to
make clear points of danger.-Techni-
cal World.

Why Foam Is White.

How white the foam is," said the
pretty girl, in voice muffied by the
sable stole drawn across her red
mouth. "Yet the sea is green. Why,
then, isn't the foam green?"
But the young sophomore laughed
in derision of such ignorance.
Gee, you are ignorant!" he said.
Beer is brown. but its foam is white,
too. Shake UP black ink and you get
white foam. Shake up red ink and
the result Is the same.
"a body that reflects all the light
1t receives without absorbing any Is
always white. All bodies powdered
into tiny diamond form. so that they
throw back the light from many
facets. absorb none OF 1t and are white
by consequence. Powdered black
marble. for instance. is white. And
foam is water powdered into these
small diamonds. and hence It's white
ness."-Philadelphia Bulletin.

A kind word! Think of it. This
man had 1t in his power to give the
boy money, clothes, playthings, but
the little fellow craved nothing so
much as a kind word now and then.
If the man had ever so little heart,
the boy must certainly have had the
wish granted. A kind word! You
have many such spoken TO you daily,
and you do not think much of their
value; but that poor boy in the vii
lage, at whom everybody laughs,

A sparkproof smokestack has been
Invented which promises relief to the

adopted by railroads traversing forest
regions.
After being tested for some time on
a Kentucky railroad, says the Techni-
cal World, it was demonstrated that
not a spark escaped from the stack.
So we'll does the Forestry Department
at Washington think of this ingenious
invention that it has asked the New
York State Public Service Commission
to compel all railroads in the State
to equip their locomotives with the
new stack.
The principle which led to the in

that all solids emerging from loco

How to Shoot with a Revolver.


To begin sighting along the barrel
OF a six-shooter, as in target gallery
practice, is a handicap to the man
who wants to learn the art at it's best
The hand and eve. Of course, work
together with all weapons and in all
combats: but there is difference be.
tween the eye-general and the eye.
particular. The best form of boxing
or fencing-that is what the use of the
six-shooter means. You point your
fist or your foil instinct. You cannot
help pointing your finger directly and
straight at any object, no matter how
hard you try. Yet surely you do not
sight down your finger. In the best
work with the six-shooter, you point
with the barrel just as you point with
your finger, or really, you point with
your wrist and forearm, and the six
shooter is the finger Of your wrist, the
lengthening Of your arm. That is the
theory and creed of the six-shooter.-
