A UNIQUE U;obt,h,n

on the island Of Islay, on the west
coast OF Scotland, there is stationed at
the Otter rock a unique lightship. II
Is unnamed, yet 1t can be relied on
to display the warning light to guide
the mariner on this dangerous coast
II Is a most ingeniously constructed
vessel and the only one OF its kind.
In its two steel tanks a sufficient ouan-
dty OF gas can be stored to supply the
lantern for several months. Expert
ments have shown that the light may
be depended upon to burn continuously
for months at a time. The approx
mate duration OF the light can be pre-
determined. and there is no danger
whatever Of its being extinguished by
wind or spray. The light is visible at
q distance Of from eight to twelve
miles. The lightship also has a bell,
which Is made to ring automatically
by means of an ingenious device that
utiliZes the gas as It passes from the
tanks to the lantern to work the bell

Wonder Of Stonshenos.

Everyone has heard Of Stonehenge,
a prehistoric monument in England
which is almost as much Of a puzzle
as the sphinx In Egypt or the mounds
erected by the mound builders In Amer
lea. Stonehenge is about ten miles
north OF Salisbury. The name comes
from two Saxon words meaning hang
ing stones"
The earlier Celtic name was Cor
Gawr, or giants temple. There are in
many localities In the northwest of
Europe prehistoric remains In the form
Of huge stone monuments or ''tumuli'
or 'barrows"-that Is. bowl shaped
mounds or hills OF earth In the neigh
borhood OF Stonehenge there are hun
dreds Of these mounds. Coins, etc,
found in them seem to date them back
