glass and shining brass work is re-

The Alcatraz lens is a beautiful in
strument and was awarded a prize at
the Buffalo exposition of 1901 The
glass, cleaned and polished daily with
buff skin, gliStens brilliantly. the brass
and steel shine with the highest luster
and the whole mechanism runs with the
smoothness of perfect adjustment. The
lens is of the fourth order and of the
bivalve type, so called because the two
curving disks of concentric prisms
placed back TO back are not unlike a
clam she'll set on edge, hinge side
down. These prisms and lenses concen-
trate the light into two single and
powerful beams one passing out
through each face, and as the apparatus
revolves on it's axis the beams sweep
the horizon, appearing to the sailor on
shipboard as a recurring flash. The
whole apparatus, which weighs many
hundred pounds, is delicately balanced
and revolves on hardened steel balls
placed between two plates of polished
steel. weight running down in a pipe
through the tower furnishes power to
keep the lens in motion, the weight be-
ing wound to the top al eight hour in
tervals. The same method of propulsion
is used on all revolving lenses, but in
the larger ones the weight of the lens,
instead OF DelnS carried on DalISs Is
floated in a vessel filled with mercury.
The neat little light station on Yerba
Buena island, with a hedge bordered
path running straight up TO the keep
er's Queen Anne cottage on the hill. is
familiar to all who travel across San
Francisco bay. In summer the hedges
are bright with flowers, set off by green
lawns and the chalk color of the white
washed cliffs. During the year 100000
passengers on the various ferry lines
are carried past the rocky point upon
which this lighthouse stands. and be-
cause of its location in the course of
these boats the station is of the utmost
Importance. The light itself is of only
the fifth order, but the fog whistle be-
side 1t is powerful enough to send it's
warning to a great distance
Close to the Yerba Buena island light
is the district lighthouse depot All
the supplies are received and shipped
from here. and the buoys of the entire
California coast are repaired and re-
painted on the wharf whenever they
are relieved from sea duty.
There is a small station kept by a
woman keeper on the southern end of
Angel island. At this point a red lens
lantern is displayed, and a fog bell
is struck during foggy weather. One
night, during heavy fog. the strik-
The San Francisco call., 1910-02-13

The next morning about o'clock the
pilot, who watched upon the bridge,
found that the weather was clearing.
Bonita point light loomed up above.
Fort Point light could be seen flashing
in the distance, and overhead the sky
was clear and the stars were out
The pilot sent for the captain, who
was sleeping below, and with both
pilot and captain on the bridge the
Rio de Janeiro started up the bay.
1t had passed Bonita and was in the
vicinity of Mile rocks when the fog
again wrapped the vessel in darkness.
But before it closed in the pilot took
an observation on both Bonita and
Fort Point lights, and with these bear
ings in mind continued on the course,
steaming about four knots an hour
Suddenly the vessel brought up with
a tremendous crash. For a few min
utes 1t hung upon the sunken reef
which had pierced its hull, then slid
off into water that was so deep as to
completely engulf it. even its masts
being covered OF the 211 persons on
board 131 were drowned and the cargo
valued at 100000, was an entire loss.
Whether the Rio de Janeiro struck
on Mile rocks or on some other of
the points that jut out from the shore
has never been determined, but the
danger to vessels menaced by these
rocks, standing as they did close to
the course of navigation, was evident,
and congress was urged TO make an
appropriation for lighthouse In 1902
an appropriation of 100000 was grant
ed, and after much preliminary engi-
neering work construction was started
in 1904.
Mile rocks stand about half a mile
from shore. The larger of the two
jutting points of stone which it was
proposed to utilize as foundation for
the lighthouse extends about 90 feet
above the sea at low water, the tide
rising here six feet When the wind
rose the sea swept entirely over the
rocks, and even in the comparative
calm of a summer afternoon the surf
made the preliminary work both diff
ficult and dangerous. Often for days
at a time nothing could be done, and
on several occasions the nearby life
savers were summoned to bring the
men in, no other than a lifeboat being
allie to approach close enough to take
them off Quarters for the men were
fitted up on a schooner which was an

these land fall lights is placed; all have
lenses of the highest power, and each
has its own particular way of showing
the light, some throwing white flashes
with intervals of various lengths be-
tween, and some flashing alternately
red and white.
The light on the Farallones sends
forth each minute a single white beam,
which can be seen 26 miles away. It
is easy to distinguish this from the
white flashes, with five seconds elaps-
ing between them, shown by Point
Reyes on the north, and from the
flashes with intervals Of 10 seconds be-
tween which Pigeon point on the south
displays; and SO the seafaring man can
tell in a moment by referring to the
list of lights with which the govern
ment has furnished him, which one of
the land fall beaconS it is that he sees
cleaning in the distance before him,
and with this aid he can accurately
set his course for port while yet so
miles beyond the Golden gate.
When the fogs have settled down to
dim the coast and the harbor lights, the
fog signals send their mournful notes
far out over the water
Most of the fog signals in this To-
cality consist of the largest of loco
motive whistles, 10 or u inches in di-
ameter. blown either by steam or com
pressed air. But at the Farallones and
at Bonita point, as well, steam under
pressure is led to a siren whose plates
revolve at high speed, these interrupt
ing the escape of the steam so that the
jets set up a vibration in a horn which
