Ancient Spanish Lighthouse.

At La Coruna, in northern SpainA
nay be seen a fire tower, which is,
with the exception of the ruins OF the
Roman lighthouse at Dover, the old
est of all existing structures of the
kind.
The exact date of the erection OF
this tower is unknown. According to
an ancient tradition it is accredited
to Hercules, whence its name Tore
de Hercules. Others say that Phoeni-
Clans who had established several
colonies in Spain, had erected this
light tower for their northland cruises.
However, judging from the inscrip-
ton, it is more probable that the
Roman Emperor Trajan erected this
structure. The inscription also men,
tons the name Of Servius Supus OF
Lusitania as the architect. The tow
er is built of ashlars and Is II feet
square and 120 feet in height. 1t has
six separate stories which can only
be reached by circular staircase
around the exterior of the tower. The
lighthouse was restored in 1854 but at
the end of the eighteenth century was
again in ruins. In 1907 it was rebuilt
by the Spanish government.-From

DR.. Johnson's Idea of eaIIantry.

The suspension of the sistings of
the general assembly at Edinburgh
that the members might have an OPP
portunity of seeing Mrs. Siddons was
doubtless one of the greatest compli-

no less charming compliment was
paid by DR.. Johnson. Mrs. Siddons
visited Johnson in the fall of 1888, and
an account of the interview was trans
mitted to Boswell by Kemble

SAFETY IN LIGHTNING STORM
Shelter In Collection Of Trees 10 Bet

Every year quite q large number Of
people are killed by lightning because
they did not know what to do In q

First Of all, It Ia safer to be indoors

thunder storm, then don't be afraid
Of sheltering under q tree just because
you have heard that 1t Is dangerous.
It 10 dangerous to shelter under
solitary tree. because lightning likes
to strike the highest point, and a soil
tary tree 10 the highest point a.
rule for some distance around But
you are pretty safe II you take shelter
In wood. A tree In q wood ID seldom
struck.
Certain trees are more dangerous
than others. II you have = choice be-
tween an oak and beech tree. then
take the beech tree all the time. A
far greater number of oak trees are
struck than beech trees. Elm trees
are nearly as dangerous as oak trees.
Avoid big crowds and collections Of
animals. For some reason--probably
because Of the warmth that rises from
their bodies--crowds Of animals and
persons are liable to be struck By
lightning.

Crossing Victoria Nyanza, Messrs

though common on the lakes Of central
Africa. seems rare enough.

late to luncheon told us that he had
seen a waterspout near by. AS we
had finished our meal we hurried W
on deck to get a glimpse Of 1t. We
saw near the southern horizon a gray
smoke-like column arising from the
surface Of the lake and expanding
into what looked like a cloud above

from the people which was 80 much
more forceful and potent than theil
expressed demand for q reduction 10
taxstlonY
We confess that close as we try to
get to the public. we hadn't heard
anything about that particular de-
mand, aud we are wondering where
the governor OF the captain got It 10
such strong manner when We weren't
able TO ger 1t at ell.
The captain complains that the
critics OF the naturalization have
not been fair because they have not
explained with the explanations he
seeks to make aud because they do
not place the blame on the legisla-
ture which made the appropriations.
But has not the governor the veto
powerY And did not Governor Haw-
ley stretch that power to almost alb
solute authority on the part Of the
chief executive not only tn veto items
but to reduce ltemsY Where did the
governor show his determi alton to
reduce taxes by shaving down any of
the current expenses of the state gov
ernmenti
As matter of fact, the captain lie
unfair both to the governor and to
the people Of the state In his eNplana
tury statement. He seeks to give
the impression that the governor Is
responsible for holding down the ex-
penditures so that in spite Of the
"extras" the increase lie merely nom
inal being but s24, 2ss.73 more this
year thaP last year.
Now, a matter of fact, both the
captain Il sgeparlng this statement,
md the COVE nor 10 issuing it, knew
nc iuors Base in the actual ex-
of State government was far
n the sum named Last year
lctax for the current or gen.
erals yes Of the state govern
ment, atounted to but $3.50, 2s3. 10,
while til Is year the same tax Is
s9Co, OOCl being an increase of APP
proxlmatelY $3.50. 600, OF 25 per cent
IN the single year, being the fret
year under the promise TO reduce
taAes under the Invitation to take
your tax receipt to the polls with
you. That It was not necessary to
raise quite 90 much this year for
general interest aud sinking fund
purposes Is due In no sense whatever
to economic methods adopted by this
administration, nor is the fact that q
slightly smaller tax was necessary for
the public building endowment fund,
these two funds over which the COVER
nor has no control whatever except az
he may refuse TO pay the public debt,
being the only ones where a reduc-
tloD II shown, such reduction being
enough to counterbalance the sxtrav
agences and increases Ia the current
expenses Of the state, down to the
s24, GOO admitted In the official state
ment.
Il is perfectly right for the Cover
nor and the captain to ask for fail
treatment. but they ought to giv'
the public at least fair treatment II
the same breath that they complain
OF unfair treatment from those unde
no obligations to them.
