The most famous of the sea swept
lighthouses is the Eddystone Is miles
from Plymouth harbor England This
was completed in 1899 after four years
of work. During the first year all that
was accomplished was drilling II hoies
in the rock and fastening irons in
them. This lighthouse, with the keep
ers and the engineer who built IL, dis
apneared In the great storm of Novefn- :
her. 170s. and since that time three
other lighthouses have beeen erected
on the Eddystone.
Electric lights are used at few
light stations only The expense Is too
great to warrant the employment of
electricity at many important sta
tions.
The electric light at Navesink on the
Highlands lust south of New York
barbor is the most powerful coast light
In the United States This light shows
each five seconds a flash of one-tenth
second duration estimated at 60,000,000
candle power. Although on account of
the curvature OF the earth the light it
self cannot be seen more than 22 miles,
its beam has been reported to have been
observed in the sky at a distance Of
20 nautical miles.
1t is important that lights be so dis
tinguished from each other as to avoid
the possibility of the mariner mistak-
ing one for another To this end lights
are distinguished by their number, color,
Intensity or time Of visibility.
With the system now available of
flashing and occulting lights 1t is pos
sible to obtain great variety of clear
ly di s.inguishable characteristics.

Paris, March 15-(Special )-There is a

palmiest days in the reply of the war
ministry of the republic to the gage
thrown down by Germany's enormous
military preparations. The French cham
ber is to be asked to vote S13o,0Oo0o0 to
place the army of the republic in a state
of perfect efficiency to cope with any
contingency.
Something like feverish anxiety-lest

Public opinion has been deeply stirred
by the action of Germany in raising her

Taste Among Animals


Many experiments have been made in or
der to find out what and where the or
gan of. taste is in the lower creation, but
it is easier to say where 1t is not. Cray
fish and worms seem to have very decided
preferences in the matter of food, though
no special tasS organ has yet been
found. Lobsters like decaying food. The
crab is more dainty in it's diet.
Snails and slugs show decided prefer
ence for certain kinds of food, as garden
lovers know to their cost Peas and cab
hages. dahlias and sunflowers are great
favorites; but they will not touch the
white mustard. Some prefer animal food,
especially If rather high. Spiders have
only a slight sense of taste; flies soaked
in paraffin seem quite palatable to them;
though one species. the diadema, is some
what more particular, and refuses to
touch alcohol in any form whatever.
The proboscs of the fly and the tongues
of bees and ants are furnished with nu-
merous delicate hairs set in minute pits
THESE are perhaps connected with the or
gan of taste; but, though the exact local
ity of this sense in insects is uncertain.
we know that groups of cells in the
tongues of animals. called taste bulbs
form in part the ends of the organ of
the higher animals. They are very close
and exceedingly numerous in man, while
the tongue of even the COW has some 35.
600 taste bulbs.
1T would be interesting to know whether
each special taste excites special group
of nerves. and that only-thus correspond
ing to the auditory nerves. These taste
bulbs were discovered in 1861 Each one
consists of two kinds of cells-one set
forming an outer protective covering
through an opening in which project from
five to 10 of the true taste cells. Though
important, they are not apparently an
essential part of the organ, for birds and
reptiles have none: but neither have they
a keen sense OF taste-except, perhaps.

Serious Side of Society

oih tiC OHlo fotdlt JOuIildl-
Children don't get thin and nervous
over too much work" declared J. A.
Shawhan, superintendent of the Colum-
bus public schools. worry is what
makes the trouble. When they go to
entertainments which last until late
they get to little sleep, come to school
without their lessons and worry and
fidget because they fear they will be
found out. It's the worry and not the
work that makes them thin.
That isn't just a pedagogical cam
paign which the superintendent is man
aging 1t isn't only because he is SUI
perintendent of the schools, but be-
cause he knows children, their troubles
and their successes. He declares more
school children become anaemic and
nervous from late hours than from any
other cause. The fault is with parents
who keep late hours themselves and
are not particular about the bedtime OF
their children.
| This is the schedule of sleep which
Shawhan thinks is right:
Children in the grammar grades. IL
hours
High school youths, eight and one
half to nine hours.
In high school the worst hours are
kept, he declares. There are too many
Socidl events WilcH Keep tne students
out until II o'clock. in his opinion. The
next day they are harried to their wits
end to keep the teacher from discover
ing that they have not studied their
lessons.
Whenever Superintendent Shawhan
has opportunity to address number
of parents or teachers. he urges them
to arrange all evening entertainments
to begin at 1880 o'clock, so that chill
dren may be in bed not later than 10
| O'Clock
| High school students should do at
least half of their studying during the
daytime, he believes. and not be up
later than 10 o'clock on an average.
