READING THE FLASHES.
Lighthouses Are Open Books to the
Experienced Mariner.

&tSttHouSoS f%FS open BOOKS TO the
Experienced Mariner.
Passengers are generally astonished
when on a dark night they hear the
ships officer remark to another.
''There's Egg rock" or "Crabtree
ledge" or Beaver Tail" as the case
may be, naming some headland or
shoal along the coast The landlub-
Der strains his eyes, and far away
there appears from time to time a
flash of light, red or white. As these
flashes seem to the passenger exactly
Ike those from hundreds of other light
houses, he is astonished at the officers
assurance.
1t is really very easy matter to dis
tinguish the American lighthouses and
lightships. of which there are about
1900 along the Atlantic and gulf
coasts II one is possessed of a copy Of
the code issued by the lighthouse
board. Every light is known by the
fixed light, the duration of flash. the
length of the eclipse or the number of
flashes shown in groups. No light
houses within a hundred miles of each
other are ever similar in these par
ticulars. For instance, one guidepost
Of the sea may flash a white light
every fifteen seconds. never varying
while the next flashes a red light every
FIVE seconds. The third may be an
alternate red and white fash, with in
tervals of ten seconds between the
flashes. and so on The audible fog
signals are identified by the time be
tween the blasts Of the siren and the
continuance of the blast.
Flashing lights are preferred to fixed
lights for the reason that n fixed light
might be confused with some other
light on shore. Only white and red
lights are considered desirable In light
houses. since II has been found that
the rays from lights OF other colors
cannot be seen at so great a distance.
There is but one green light--a fixed
one-on the Atlantic coast.-Harper's
Weekly.

FLYING IN DREAMS.

A Sensation Like That Which Some
times Preeedes Death.
The sensation of flying Is one of the
earliest to appear in the dreams of
childhood. 1t seems to become less
frequent after middle age Beaunis
states that in his case it ceased at the
age Of fifty. 1t is sometimes the last
sensation at the moment of death.
To rise, to fall, to glide away has
often been the last conscious sensation
recalled by those who seemed to be
dying, but have afterward been brought
back to life. Pieron has noted this
sensation at the moment of death in a
number of cases. usually accompanied
by sense of well being The cases ne
describes were mostly tuberculous and
included individuals of both sexes and
with atheistic as well as religious be-
liefs.
In all the last sensation to which ex-
preston was given was one of flying.
of moving upward In some death was
peaceful. in others painful In one
case girl died clasping the iron bars
Of the bed. in horror of being borne
upward.
Pieron associates this sensation witt
the similar sensation OF rising and float
ing in dreams and with that of NOV
ing upward and resting on the air ex-
perienced by persons in the ecstatic
state. In all these cases alike life is
being concentrated in the brain and
central organs, while the outlying dis
tricts Of the body are becoming numb
and dead.
Dream fight, it is necessary to note.
is not usually the sustained fight of a
bird or an insect, and the dreamer
rarely or never imagines that be is
borne high into the air. HutchinS, Il
states that of all those whom he hnS
asked about the matter hardly one
has ever known himself to make any
high flights in his dreams. One al
most always flies low, with a skim
ming manner, slightly, but only slight
ly, above the heads of pedestrians
Beaunis-from his own experience
describes a typical kind of dream
flight as series of light bounds at
one or two yards above the earth. each
bound clearing from ten to twenty
yards, the dream being accompanied
by delicious sensation of ease and
movement as well as lively satisfac-
ton at being able to solve the problem
of aerial locomotion by virtue Of su-
perior organization alone.
Lafcadio Hearn somewhat similarly
describes in his "Shadowings' typi-
cal and frequent dream Of his own as
q series Of bounds In long parabolic
curves, rising to height of some TWEEN
ty-five feet and always accompanied by
the sense that new power had been
revealed. which for the future would
be permanent possession. Atlantic.

Mrs. Somerville, the great methema-

great extent the power of concentra-

laid wager with a friend that he

KILLING The UMPIRE.
It Is an Essential Part of the Great
Came Of Baseball.

u - an essential FdFt OF the Gr0at
Game of Baseball.
According to bleacher law, there are
three particularly justifable motives
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may be kiIled-first, If he sees
fit to adhere to the rules and make a
decision against the home team at a
close point in the game; second, an
umpire may be killed if he sends a
member of the home team to the bench
when the player in question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt to bite his ear of
ian umpire has no business to be
touchy); third (and this is a perfect
defense against the charge Of murder),
an umpire may be killed If he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That the
balls go straight over the plate has
nothing to do with the case.
There Is ample proof at hand to
show that killing the umpire is dis
tinctively American sport. Other coun.
tries have tried baseball. but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That is
probably the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball.
for baseball without umpire killing is

twelve games with the Havana and

players or the silent Cuban spectators

Americans did not know what to think
of it--unti they counted up the gate

they realized that in their own country
1t is the delight In killing the umpire
rather than the pleasure in watching
the game that draws the tremendous
crowds through the turnstiles.-George

Earthquakes Bar Progress

Japan has a great number Of water
falls which would be of material value
in the development Of the country, but
the reason these valuable sources of
power are not being developed is be-
cause Of tie danger Of earthquakes
which is constantly confronting the
people. More than once within recent
years have steps been taken with the
view Of constructing dams in order
that these falls might be utilized when
some demonstration Of the earth has
given warning Of the danger of such a
step and the promoters have been
forced to abandon or greatly modify

At the bureau of weights and meas
ures at Sevres, France, the standard
meter of metal, which Is the standard
length Of the world, is kept carefully
In an underground vault and Is In
spected only at long intervals. In
Great Britain similar care Is exercised
In guarding the standard yard meas
urement- AS 1t was possible for these
metal standards to be destroyed or
damaged In the course of time. it was
decided a number Of years ago to de-
termine the exact length of the stand
ards in wave lengths Of light. which
would be q basis of value unalterable
and indestruchble. For this purpose
the instrument known as the inter
ferometer was invented. This instru-
ment represented the highest order Of
workmanship and the greatest skill Of
the best opticians OF the world. A
series of refracting plates were made,
the surfaces of which were fat with
IN one-twentieth OF a wave length OF
light, with sides parallel within one
second, representing the utmost refine
ment of optical surfaces ever at
tempted.
With the tnterferometer perfected.
the attempt was made to make the
wave length OF some definite light an
actual aud practical standard of length
For over year scientists worked to
secure this result. and experiments
finally showed that there were I .553

accuracy OF these experiments that
they can be repeated within one part

should the material standard of length
be damaged or DESTROYED the standard

act duplicate of the original standard

Of Israel, just as was originally prom

lsrael's Hopes Merely Deferred.
The Apostles discerned that the
hopes of their nation were not blasted,
not destroyed, but will all have full
fillment, though the time of fulfilling
was deferred. They saw that in or
der to make the Messianic blessing as
great as God intended that it should
be-world-wide and unto eternal life
It was necessary that great sacri-
fee for sins should be made-a sacri-

Atonement Day sacrifces-a sacrifice
In two parts. These two parts are
shown in Israers Atonement Day-the
bullock of the sin-offering and the
Lords goat of the sin-offering. Jesus
himself fulfilled the first of these, the
merit Of which has been applicable to
the sanity few of Jews and Gentiles
who have, during this Gospel Age,
made a full conservation to walk in
the Redeemer's footsteps. The second
airy part Of the sacrifice, the offering of
the goat, pictures the sacrificing COM
pany Of the Lords faithful disciples
throughout this Age. These, under
cover of his righteousness, suffer with
him SCIENTIFICALLY.
Their reward is to be a share with
the Redeemer on the heavenly, spirit
plane, participating in his glory, honor
and immortality and in his great work
of dispensing the Messianic blessing to
Israel and through Israel to the world.
Surely, neither Jew nor Gentle can
object to the Divine arrangement by
which so great blessings are about to
come to the whole world. Israel and
the world in general have no part in
these spiritual blessings. Nor do they
generally desire that gift The bless
