trouble and nervous prostration for
four years.

all. Had no energy and did not care
for anything. Was emaciated and had
a constant pain around my heart until

months I never went to bed expecting

me terribly. | was gradually getting

ACETYLENE GAS BUOYS FUR
 WATERS 0F INSIDE PASSAGE

The United States lighthouse ten der Manzanita arrived in Skagway last night nine days out from Seat tie with Dr. Henry Pritchett, head Of the U. S. lighthouse board, Jacob Furth, president of the Seattle Elec' tric company, and Charles A. Stone, president of the Stone & Webster corporation op board.
 The trip north was made by Dr. Pritchett for the purpose of investi- gating the feasibility of placing acetylene gas buoys on the inside passage between Seattle and Lynn canal. If the plan is decided upon twenty buoys, costing from $l,5OO to $6,OOO apiece, will be placed in Alaskan waters. In all probability the plan will be adopted.
 "The board faces several problems in the lighting of the inner channels of the Alaskan coast" said Dr. Pritchett, last evening. "The coast !s rugged and dangerous and requires many lights, hence cost must be con- sldered. The wild and unsettled con dition of the country is another diff ficulty in our way. For this reason the board is ready to use acetylene buoys for the protection of the coast If they are found to be practicable.
 "We propose to install from fifteen to twenty of these buoys between
The daily Alaskan., 1909-06-26

Seattle and Lynn canal. The buoys vary in size from those which sit about eight feet out of the water to those which rise fifteen or twenty feet above the waters level. Buoys are now made to burn for months at time without attention and we be- heve that by dropping one at each of the worst points we can eliminate much of the danger to navigation along the Alaskan coast.
 We will experiment with three kinds of buoys. One kind permits ,he seepage of sea water into the car bide and the consequent formation of gas. A second kind of buoy per mits the carbide to gradually sink into a water chamber. In the third make of buoys the gas is stored un- der pressure within them. In all of the buoys the flame is so arranged to be protected against wind and dashing waves and the buoys will burn. night and day, for months with. c. attention. However, 1t is best for some one to be near the buoys and watch them and fix them if anything goes wrong with their me. chanism. To this end l will attempt to arrange for men to act as care takers. The plan as have stated it is by no means completed and it's adoption will depend upon the results of my trip to Alaska" s'-s
