GUIDE TO MARINERS
Perry Memorial on Lake Erie
Proves Its Utility.
Ooric column 335 Feet High Is Sur
mounted by Powerful Lights. Visi-
bic at Great Distance-Oe-
signed as Monument.


Sandusky, O.-The Doric column or
main shaft of the Perry memorial at
Put-in-Eay. recently completed, has
come to be considered an important
landmark by Great Lakes region mar
iners. Visible By day from points afar,
it serves as guide through the
northern course, between the Cana
dian mainland end the shores of the
islands comprising the Lake Erie
archipelago, and the treacherous
south passage, between the islands
on the south and the Ohio shores. By
night its powerful lights can be seaA
from almost any point in Lake F<fe
between Cleveland on the easA and
Toledo and Detroit on the weA.
In the United States lake surveys
current bulletin the shaft il described
as located at about the middle OF
the low. narrow neck of land forming
the southernmost shore of Put-in-Ba
island, in approximately latitude Al
degrees. SO minutes and IA seconds
north; longitude So degrees. As min
utes and il seconds west"
The government officially describes
the shaft as "a Doric column of white
granite, surmounted by bronze
= tripod and bowl containing electric
lamps which cast an indirect illu-
mination through a plate glass COW
ering." and mentions that the column
is As feet in diameter at the base and
1886 feet in height, measured from the
terrace at its base to the top of the
tripod. and forms a conspicuous land
mark from the lake.
The cornerstone of the shaft was
laid September 10. 1918, the one hun
dredth anniversary of the battle of
Lake Erie, in the presence of repre-
sentatives of the national government
and the states of Ohio. Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Illinois. Wisconsin, New
York, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Mime
sofa and Louisiana.
The memorial as whole was de-
signed as monument to Commodore
Oliver Hazard Perry and his men,
victors in the battle fought on Putin
Bay that permanently fixed the pres
ent boundary line between the United
States and Canada in the Great Lakes
section and on east to the Atlantic.
For one hundred years the gallant
Perry and his men had been all but
forgotten, the only tribute to their
memory being a little pyramid of
rusty cannon balls In one of the pub
tic parks at Put-in-Bay.
1t was after the memorial had been
designed that the possibilities that
strong rays of light shed from the top
of the Doric column or main shaft
might be the means of saving lives or
serve to protect against an enemy
became apparent and steps were taken
to establish the landmark that the
federal government has pust rec
ognized.
The Doric column is little more than
central point around which much
costly structural work remains to be
done. A museum is to be erected at
the right of the plaza in the center of
which it rests. A statue fanked by
colonnade typifying Peace and Arbi-
tration, will be erected on the left
The work is of such a nature that it
must necessarily proceed slowly
There is every promise, however, that
at the end of another year the plans
will have been brought to full fruition

showing. These officers of the COM
pany are due to arrive in Philadel-
phia to-day.
When at the mine the new double
compartment shaft was down rs feet

level at the 100-foot point. At this
station a crosscut will be made 165

The shaft was started down the hill
in a gulch. This accounts for the
gain in depth.
