OLDEST FIRE TOWER.

At La Coruna, In northern Spain,
may be seen a fire tower which is,
with the exception OF the ruins of the
Roman lighthouse at Dover the oldest
OF all existing structures of this kind.
The exact date of the erection OF
this tower is unknown. According to
an ancient tradition, 1t is accredited
to Hercules, whence It's name Tore
de Hercules. others say that Phoeni-
clans, who established several colo
MES in Spain, had erected this light
tower for their northland cruises. How
ever, judging from the inscription. it
Is more probable that the Roman
emperor Trojan COS to 1T A. d.
erected this structure. The inscrip-
ton also mentions the name of Servi-
US Supus Of Lusitania as the architect.
The tower is built OF ashlers and is
nine meters square and 40 meters in
height. 1t has six separate stories,
which can only be reached by cir
cular staircase around the exterior OF
the tower The lighthouse was restor-
ed in 1854, but at the end of the eight
ecnth century was again in ruins. In
1897 1t was rebuilt by the Spanish
government and still sends forth it's
beams.
