lighthouse stations installed at Brest,
France, which automatically send out
warning messages 70 ships every few
seconds without the help Of man,
prove a success, as they ale report
ed TO be, 1t will mean that the old
system OF lights, bells, horns and 9TH
er danger warnings at sea will be rem
dered unnecessary. The lighthouse in
each case would act as an aerial mast.
BY a simple clockwork arrangement,
which only needs attention once a
week or so, distinctive messages are
sent out by each station every few
seconds. One set of signals are sent
out by each station every few seconds.
One set OF signals are sent out every
ten seconds and another set every 30
seconds, so that ships may positively
identify the lighthouse that is talk

having two ribs broken, refuses TO
prosecute her husband, and asks :,
What is the use of starting up lot
OF trouble?" Perhaps IL Is as much
dependence as forgiveness. In Lon
don, where wife-beating is a favorite
sport OF the slums, the police find the
greatest difficulty in bringing the Of
tenders to book because women have
to choose between denying that they
were ill-used or starving while their
brute husbands are in Jail. One wom-
an was brought into court all bruised

way OF sprinkling itself around every

and disagreeable way. and dainty wo-
men who travel will have none of
1t, preferring to carry the wet cake
OF personally preferred toilet soap
in a rubber lined receptacle in the
travelling bag. A new soap tablet,
however Will be likely to appeal to
the fastidious traveller, because OF its
convenience and the attractive way 1t
is put up. Fifty of these tablets are
packed like bonbons in pretty little
box less than three inches square. A
pair OF nickel tweezers are tucked In
the box for extracting the tablets

Clifton, Graham county, Ariz., which
lies in one Of the copper mining CEN
ters of the new state. This Jail COM
prises four large apartments hewn in
the side Of a hill of solid quartz rock
The entrance is situated in a boxlike
vestibule built of heavy masonry and
the gates have three sets of steel bars.
At intervals in the rocky walls holes
TO serve as windows have been blast
ed and in these apertures a series of
massive bars of steel has been fitted
firmly in the rock. The floor of this
rockbound jail is of cement. The
prisoners are confined wholly in the
larger apartments. In certain places
the wall of quartz about the Jail is no
less than fifteen feet in thickness. So
solid and heavy are the barriers TO
this institution that no prisoner has
ever attempted escape.-Harper's
