Sucn lighthouse may be seen at Sandy Hook, for although the first of these structures to be erected in America was placed at the entrance Of Boston harbor as early as 1716, the New Jersey lighthouse is the oldest now in existence upon our coasts. At one time the Illuminating material consisted of 36 lard-oil candles. At a later period oil burners were installed. while during successive periods kero- sene was used in an old type float lamp, and electricity, then in the ex- perimental stage, was adopted. After this there was a recurrence to the oil lamp, and at the present time incan- descent vapoF Is employed. Here 1t must be admitted that lighthouses, not always figured as temples to the gods, for by the British, who built this lighthouse and put it in commission in the year 1764, it was intended to serve also as a military prison. It was con structed with dungeon underneath, and just 100 years later, in supplying a foundation for an iron stairway, evil dence of it's former use was made ap- parent through the discovery of a vault containing human skeleton This old lighthouse also had its secret underground passage, the entrance to which was barred by an iron door To- cated in a nearby hillside. Then, too. in this year of reconstruction. the holes that were made in the sides of the tower by cannon shots from Brit ish men-of-war were cemented; so if the tradition must connect lighthouses and temples, the one at Sandy Hook was certainly reared to Moloch. the god of war, though in the past 100 years 1t has lighted many British ship on pacific errands into New York harbor.
 With the growing complexity and advance toward perfection of light house system, lighthouse zones are es- tablished at varying distances from the land, the character of the light. whether double or single, colored or white, fixed, flashing or intermittent, being determined by the requirements of its position and the use to which 1t is put as signal.
 While great elevation would seem a leading requirement if coast light is to perform effective service, 1t Is a positive disadvantage in certain local ities and at certain seasons of the year, when, as in St. Georges channel. foggy weather is the rule, for the fog clouds envelop the light and render 1t quite useless for the guidance of vessels below The fog light" or occasional light" at South Stack, on the island of Anglesea, England. was constructed to meet these conditions An inclined plane was excavated in the rock, and upon this tramway was laid The light, being contained in a carriage. which in clear weather was left at the summit of the incline.

 Q number of lighthouses. Most i'm portant and powerful of all lights was and still is, in this country at any rate. the Navesink, which in 1898 was pro vided with a five-second white flash electric light, the flash having 8 dura- ton of .08 seconds. It's bivalve lens has focal distance of 700-like the new light installed at South Foreland in 1904.
 Electricity is now being used in the so-called unattended lights" Lights of this description will, upon the com pletion of the Panama canal, guide ships on their way through Gatun lake. In passing through the latter the canal makes eight turns. some of these being at a sharp angle. The range lights are of reinforced concrete. ESQ placed in pairs that one towers above the other at a distance back of the lower one of several hundred feet" The pilot will direct his course by keeping these two lights in line, turning when the pair on the opposite shore appear in view. These range towers. rising to a height of about 60, feet, are sometimes placed in the midst of the dense tropical jungle that fringes the shores. In a few of these compressed acetylene, which will burn six months without atten- tion, is the illuminant. but the greater number of the lighthouses are on a general electric light circuit. AS Alb bolt states in his recent work on Pan ama," the whole canal will be lighted with buoys, beacons, lighthouses and light posts.
