the constant advance Of applied science
and engineering gives the lighthouse
engineer the means of satisfying them.
New illuminantS constantly find their
places In lighthouse technique, for the
power and reliability of lights must
keep pace with the greater size and
speed of ships. Great numbers of reli-
able small lights are needed along the
inland routes OF motor boats. Fog signals
larger and their lights brighter and
more easily distinguished. Despite the
ever-increasing speed, shipping must
move also with ever-increasing safety.
for the cargoeS are more valuable, and
the human souls ever more numerous.
Gas oil, electricity, radio. add contant-
ly to the speed with which all ship
ping moves. Each of these, as of count
less other products of this machine age,
soon finds its application in the tech
nique of the Lighthouse Service.
Through their use new aids are devised
which enable the mariner to move on
in the dark as in the daylight, and,
with the radio beacons, even through
fog and snow, without sight or sound
to guide him.
of acetylene in lighting equipment of
the service. This gas is especially well
adapted to the purpose. on account of
the high intrinsic brilliancy of the
flame, and makes 1t possible to operate
lights on buoys, or in remotely isolated
localities where resident attendance can
be provided with difhculty or not at
all. Many hundreds of minor lights
and buoys use acetylene as an illumi-
nant, and some of them burn for
six months or q year without attention.
The characteristic flash is obtained
by the use of an ingenious valve
mechanism which cuts of the main
supply of gas at regular intervals, leav-
ing burning only an invisible pilot flame

ton of gas at remote stations, solar

New Types of Machinery.
Electricity. however, has so many
manifest advantages as an illuminant
that 1t is being rapidly introduced in
light house work wherever it is required
for radio or other purposes, and also
wherever readily available from COM
mercial power lines. In this connec-
ton automatic lamp changers, flashing
apparatus for periodically eclipsing the
light, motor apparatus for revolving
lenses, electrically driven aStronomic
time clocks, primary battery operated
lights for river lighting. windmill
operated generators are some OF the
types of apparatus with which the
present-day keeper must become IA
mlliar.
The international nature of the serv-
ice rendered by aids to navigation has
naturally led to a constant interchange
of ideas between light house engineers
of the important maritime nations, and
has in recent years been the reason for
a number of international conferences
of great value. The importance OF such
interchange of scientific developments
is shown by the fact that of three out
standing contributions to light house
technology during the past century, one,
the Tresna lens came from France, an
other, the use of acetylene as marine
illuminant. is the gift of Sweden. while
the latest and perhaps the greatest, the
development of the radio beacon as an
aid to navigation, is distinctly American

WATER MAIN BREAK.
TEARS UP STREET.
Repairs, Causing Unusual
Pressure, Blamed for
Two Bursted Pipes.

Two water mains burst simultane-
ously at o'clock this morning, one OF
them tearing hole feet in diameter
in the street and sending column OF
water 25 feet into the air. Eighth pre-
cinct police explained that repairs being
made on other mains caused unusual
pressure at the points where the breaks
occurred.
The most serious of the two breaks
was at New Hampshire avenue and I
street. The water flooded nearby cell
lars and menaced the foundations OF
houses. Pieces of cement and dirt were
carried aloft by the column OF water
and strewn about the street in all direc-
tions
Deputy Chief B. w. Weaver responded
with fire apparatus. Employees Of the
District Water Department were sum-
moned and temporarily repaired the
leak.
The other break occurred in front Of
101l S street. This one lacked the
spectacular qualities of the one on New
Hampshire avenue, but the volume of
escaping water flooded several cellars.
