A HARD WINTER.
When the Mercury Fell to Six Fest
Nine Inches Below Zero.

They were talking about hard win
tiers. The man on the cracker barrel
said he remembered u winter when the
mercury fell to six feet nine inches be-
low zero. and consequently he had new
er seen any weather since then that he
! could call real cold.
"Oh. you pshaw!' said the man with
the ginger whiskers. six feet nine
inches! Oh. you pshaw!'
Meaning that l put you in mind Of
AnaniasY said the man on the cracker
barrel.
The man with the ginger whiskers
simply said: six feet nine inches! Oh.
you pshaw!'
Then listen" said the man on the
cracker barrel ut was the winter
when no snow fell. Nothing fell but
the thermometer that winter. We kept
our thermometer hanging on cherry
tree in the yard to give 1t chance.
One morning the weather had been so
cold the mercury went down below zero
as far as 1t could and let the thermom-
eter have the credit Of showing it. but
1t couldn't do it's duty by the weather
by pausing there. so it busted the bulb
at the bottom and kept on falling. The
thermometer was six feet above the
ground We dug the mercury out in
the spring. nine inches below the sur.
face So until you can trot out some
weather that is six feet and nine inches
below. don't talk to me about cold!"
The man on the cracker barrel lit his
pipe and went out. and the man with
the ginger whiskers Just said. "Oh. he

Modern lighthouses really date from
1853. when this third one was COM
pleted. Smeaton's design was faulty,
but it served as a model for lighthouse
construction In masonry, which has
been followed in its general features
ever since. This lighthouse stood for
over century. but 1t was not high
enough to keep the waves from dash

and the present one built in 1882 by
James Douglass.
At the time Of the completion Of the
new lighthouse two bells weighing two
tons each and struck by mechanical
power were installed for fog signal
ing purposes. Since that date an ex-
plosive guncotton fog signal has been
erected. the bells being removed Prob
