Illuminating Culebra Cut.

Panama, April For the benefit Of
mariners sailing at night through the
Culebra cut of the Panama canal a sys-
Because of the high walls of rock sur
rounding the cut. shutting off any view
of the adjacent country from the deck
Of even the highest vessel and at some
points towering hundreds Of feet above
the masthead. the system of range
lights so much in vogue on lakes and in
the sen level channels was, found i'm
practicable, and instead it is planned
to place the beacOns at each angle of
the cut.
In the range light system two lights
are placed. one behind the other. on the
bank in such relation that when the
pilot gets them both in line he knows
that the ship is on the right range
The steep banks of Culcbra cut do not
permit one light to be placed behind an
other at sufficient distance to make
them of any use as range Indicators,
however, and therefore the plan of es-
tabliShing three beacOns at each angle
in the cut has been evolved. Between
these intermediate beacOnS are to he
placed in pairs on each side of the
canal. and by keeping his ship pointed
midway between those lights the mari
ner will be able to adhere closely to the
center of the big ditch
TO eliminate the possibility of CON
founding the beacOns with one another
and with lights on shore, they will have
individual characteristics. formed Of
flashes of light and dark intervals.
Starboard lights are to be of single
fash and port lights of double flash,
the turning point lights and the inter
mediary lights to be distinguished
from one another by the difference in
intervals Of light and darkness. The
beacons. thirty-fve in number, are to

Washington, April 9.-Arrangements
are being made for the establishment
of regular wireless service across Be

other young woman who is also very
enthusiastic over her appointment rs
secretary to Mayor Macdonald Of Bev-

country, according to information
which Republican senators have re-

next fall The convention would have
its authority definitely limited, accord

so that there would be no question of
candidates to split the convention
along fractional or personal lines.
1t is proposed that the special con-
