MAKING SUNSHINE

All solid food distressed me SO that

age was well on the mend. The pains
left my head. my mind became clearer

"Our son. two years old. was afiicted
with 4 rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks took him

to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him

blood would run. The itching was In

MOTORING BY SEARCHLlGHT.

Only with 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 searchlight is of the greatest convenience, too, in reading crossroads signboards al night when, without the swivel fea ture, it would be necessary either to maneuver the car into an awkward position 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 windy night.-Recreation.

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 light which is only apparent.
 The beacon is a cone of cast iron plates surmounted with a lantern containing glass prism. The prism derives its light from refracting the rays emitted from the lighthouse. and the optical delusion is marvel ous.
 Mariners naturally suppose that there is 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 perilous 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 nical World.
