A FAMOUS BEACON.
The Navesink Light. Near Sandy Hook
Is q Wonder.

The Navesink Light. Near Sandy Hook.
Is a Wonder.
The most powerful light In America
Is housed on a promontory near Sandy
Hook. go feet above the beach. where
It acts as a safeguard to all ships en-
terlng or leaving the harbor of New
York. IL Is called Navesnk light and
is of 9J.00O.000 candle power. At Of
teen or twenty miles its fash is as
pointed and brilliant as n star. On a
perfectly clear night its shaft OF light
can be seen 100 miles nc sea. When
Il was erected IL was operatec mt twice
It's present candle power But ocean
pilots objected to its strength. saying
that so amazing an electric fash ac-
tually blinded them and interfered
with their work. Uncle Sam heard
the prayer OF the pilots and turned
down his pet lamp to 100000 candle
power.
The amount Of oil consumed by the
engine that provides the power for
the light Is only one gallon and seven
eighths an hour That is the astonish-
ing thing to the unscientldc visitor
the comparatively small expense and
effort required to maintain so great
light. There are two fair sized dyna-
mos and two oil engines. One set is
always kept In reserve. OF course
the tremendous candle power is devel-
oped by means OF a great lens. made
in France. The lens weighs seven
tons aud half. is seven inches thick
and rests in mercury. 1t is revolved
with ease.--Satnrdav EVENING Post.
