Mott, headier ^eePer of the Fire Islaiid ligfit. The first Hght houses "were called "ligfitheading towers." One of these towers is included in the Seven Wonders of the World, and was built B. C. 300. The oldest tower in England is in Dover | Castle, and is called "useser s Aitar.This is supposed to have been built about the year A. D. 44. On these old-fashioned towers were fires o; wood. A man would sit up all night a\d keep the fire burniug. After many years refl<ctors were introduced, and these were Considered a wonderful improvement on the old method, for by their means thf' light could be much more readily see? far out at ?ea. Then followed other inprovcments, until we have the powerful Ights of the present day. These old fashioned towers were always located 01 the land, at the end of some cape or headland. They were generally built o.brick or masonry, though sometimes of tijod, that is, after lanterns and illuminati<<T apparatus were introduced. There w^ a circular stairway inside which led b the summit and, tn course of time, the ower part of the building was used as e storage-room for supplies. Fire Island light is, welcome sight to the thousands oftouiits that come from across the Atlantic, fo^tis the first light sighted by all the gref .ocean steamers after leaving the Eur< ,ean coast. The present lighthouse, loc ted ou Fire Island beach, about fifty railij from New York, is circular iD form an(fl68 feet high. It was built in 1858. Before that year there was an old-fahioned lighthouse near where the prese : building is located, the ruins of i rich still remain. It was shaped like a wer. The keeper was a man named mith?a common name everywhere, btt unusually so on Long Island just ofcosite the beach, where there is a <4Snfhtown>u so named on account of the Qmerous famity of that name. Smitl the lighthouse keeper, was an old alor, and had served on board the ship .onstitution in the War of 1812. J All the lighthajjes in the United States are in chargof a regular department of the Qover^ent. One curious thing is that the tfthorities order certain colors of pht to be used upon them. For outsi<f buildings the colors brown acd whit/ must be used for wooden structure!lead color, black,red, green, brown orwhitewash. For insidex the buildirj white, greeu, lead "color, black orwhitewash. A short tima since th building was newly painted, the col on the tower being changed from a'w color to black and white, alternate two bands of white and then two ?ands of black. This change ha3 beetmade so that steamers passing in toe lytirae can see cue iigathouse more eafj\ The building is about a mile from thcourse the steamers take on the ocean. There are tl?e men on doty here all the time, mytf and two assistanti. We take turns attting up during the night. In the summttime the man who is on day duty is Ipt very busy showing the lighthouse Wisitor3 who come from the "Surf Hel," some distance to the east on Fire land Beach. During the warm weat* we have as many as 200 visitors, ancjometimes as many as 300. But in tfcwinter season it is very cold and lonely. You can imagine it isn't very cheerf to sit all alone through the dark nighi^ the top of the lighthouse. Sometirae-'jere is a howling, dismal storm witbt,and when the wind blows | very hard he great tower vibrates as much as tee inches from one side to the other,Though we are accustomed to such c/erieaces we cannot say they are very eerful. JL ! FIRE ISLAND LIGHT. i|ng our spare time we have a cba| to read, though sometimes wo doijee a newspaper in a month. The Govjment furnishes us with libraries, i wbJit sends in a neat little case, I chaing the books once a year. ~j may be curious to know what trirxf Urtfti-o fViqtt conH na TTprft are sot of the titles which may be familiar to a: "Northern Lights," "Story of thteoors of Spain," "Felix Holt," Roy," "Bancroft's Miscellanies," aoound volumes of the Graphic and h and Water, Gentleman's Magazine aiAmerican Statesman. ie Government furnishes us with a nicine chest which contains remedies Ordinary ailments. We have boxes alls, castor oil, Epsom salts, paregorTlaudanum. quinioe, iron, iodine, jrt-plaster for cuts, salves for buras, [ If we do get sick we have to get jr it the best way we can, though in a fy serious case of illness we might iluage to get a boat and send over to i mainland for a doctor. The ascent of the spiral staircase that Jf<Js to the tower is apt 10 muse jim , kzy until you get accustomed to the ' laraey, and in the winter time the walls Id the steps are damp. The li^ht is jig red," as we say, at sunset, and it is ||)0-candle power in strength. I . I ! . t . You can get some idea cf how large ] toe lamp is when I tell you that the argand burner is as big as a large coffee urn. It burns live -weeks, the smallest wick being one inch in diameter aud the largest live inches. Every week in the year it consumes six leet of wick and seventy gallons of oil. The chimney used on the burner is seventeen inches long and six inches in diameter; or wide and long enough to allow the keeper to put his arm into it. The reservoir in which the oil is held is two feet sixteen inches in diameter. It is so important that the wick shall be trimmed exactly straight, that, in doing this work, we place what is called a centre-pin at the middle of the wick, -and run a line across from one end to the other, just as carpenters do when they want to run a fence along a straight line; for, unless the wick is trimmed perfectly straight the light will be very poor. The lamp is enclosed by revolving lenses of French magnifying glass to double the power and brilliancy of the light. Probably the most curious thing in connection with the lighthouse is the fact that these lenses are cracked in cer tain places. The glass is one-eighth of an inch thick, and these cracks are caused by ducks and geese in their regu- ( lar migrations striking heavily against the glass with their bills. There is a large metal ball od top of the lighthouse, and this has been nearly twisted off by flocks of brant, a certain kind of wild duck, coming in contact with it. These attacks often result in the death of the animals, and we have picked up on the ground as many as sixty dead ducks,and, on some occasions, as many a9 a hundred birds of different varieties have been found. The Agricultural Department of -^"_hove to. the Government devotes much attention to furnishing interesting information on the flight of birds in different parts of the country. Many facts in regard to this subject are communicated by the keepers of lighthouses who, in their lonely hours are only too glad to take note of such curious phenomena. Fire Island Light house, though a solitary place in the winter time, is not as dreary as Stratford Shoals in Lodg Island Sound, where I was formerly located. That lighthouse is built out in the water, and has nothing but a reef around it. When I was there one of our men was lost while rowing from the shore to the lighthouse. The weather was so rough in the winter time that we could ' not get ashore. An Immense Fossil Elephant. Kansas has always been noted for the large number of fossil remains found within the borders of the State, and it was for this reason that Professor Will* Iston severed his connection with Yale College to accept a position as professor of paleontology in the State University at Lawrence. The Professor has devoted his time to the collecting and classification of the fossils, and now he has received notice that an immense fossil element has been found in the arid region among the sand hills in the western part of the State. The measurements show that the animal in life was a monster indeed, and that it was larger than any mammoth remains which have ever been discovered. It is sixteen feet from the sole of the foot to the point of the shoulder, and its length is proportionate with the height. It is the aim of Professor Will iston to get the specimea intact and place it by the aide of the immense megatherim which is now the pride of the institute at Lawrence. As this is the first mammoth remains which have been found in Kansas it excites much interest among the scientists as well a9 the curiosity of the . general public.? Nen York Herald. A Bi? and Rapid Star. Dr. Elkin, formerly of the Capo o: Good Hope, South Africa, but novi astronomer ot Yale University, has been engaged in a long and patient series of observations on the parallel of the mighty star Arcturus. He has reached the conclusion that Arcturus is moving with the almost inconceivable velocity of 381 miles a second, equivalent to the distance between New York and Chicago in less than three seconds. The earth, in its journey around the sun, makes the fairly good time of 1,500,000 miles a day, in round figures, but the gigantic Arcturus travels twenty-one timc3 faster than the earth. It would seem that, since Arcturus is thousands of times larger than our sun, the old adage about largo bodies movin? slowly is net without exceptions. The time of Arcturus is the fastest, so far as we know, of any of the celestial bodies. The nearest approach to it was made by the comet of 1S43, which whirled around the sua in perihelion, at the rate of 1,260,00J miles an hour. Arcturus, in his regular all-year gait, beats the reeord?his time per hour being 1,371,600 miles. ? Ditroit Free Press Couldu t See for Himself. "Want a shine, boss?" "I don't know.

Elvery, a gentleman who has just returned from a long trip through Central America, gave a St. Louis Star-. Sayings reporter the following discourse on the wonders of the interior of San Salvador: "Eighty miles from the harbor of San Elmon, going north through *1 A?1 ' OaIwa/Ia* waii will me greatest icogtu ui wiouui, j?u find the fathomless lake of Hopango, twenty-five miles long and about nine miles wide. Its tempid waters occupy craters of extinct volcanoes. In 1870, when Salvador was shaken violently by earthquakes, the waters of the lake sank in the night nine feet, and along its shores were gathered earthen vessels, curiously colored, and images carved out of porphyry and others precisely like those at the Museum in Washington, taken from the ancient Egyptian tombs. A few miles southeast from the railroad the ever active Izalco rises 6000 feet, a perfect cone, from the plain about Arminia. The railway crosses the State of Santa Ana, a district of Salvador, fifty miles square, producing, it is Btated, more coffee than any other equal area of land in the world. In truth, every acre of the meso cf Salvador is cultivated, each producing from tjwo to four crop3 ' annually. The products are rice, tobacco, I nnftaa dinar nn<1 TTinnV flthftr tVbl/UUf VVUVVf uu^wk ? articles. The railway penetrates from La Elmon to Punto Barrios, or to Port Isabel, whichever harbor may be the northern terminus?a very paradise. The average density of population along the whole route exceeds 100 for each square mile. Here the villages and towns are almost continuous, and the population?Aztecs, ninety-two pex cent., and Spanish, eight per cent.? toil most industriously. Labor costs twenty to twenty-five cents and food, ten cents per diem. The thatch-roofed, fioorless abode huts of the natives (Aztecs) are the cheapest possible, and only useful in protecting the occupants against rain storms of July, August and | September, (the rainy season) when the j country is flooded almost every day. There its not a stove or a fire place in anj I hntise in the Renublic: none are needed where the thermometer never falls below seventy degrees, or' rises above ninety degrees. So great is the annual production of fruits, and so short the dis-. tance from Port Barrios to Mobile, 'that it is believed that the most delicate and delicious tropical fruits, never seen in the United States, will be distributed everywhere from Mobile, and so abundant are the crops of Salvador, and of the districts of Guatemala penetrated b/ the railroad, that it must have two I tracks?one for immense local and the other lor interoceanic freights and travel. Modern Feats of Engineering. The civil engineer of the present age is a wizard who annihilates spaoes and matter. The highest mountains, the deepest valleys are his playthings; he bridges one and tunnels through the other. The railroad from Callao through the heart of Peru is the hiehest and most wonderfully constructed line in the world. The grades are often of 300 feet to the mile, and when the Andes were reached so difficult was the work that laborers were lowered from cliffs above by ropes in order that they might carve a foothold to begin the cutting for the roadway. t ; TSmnela bf? mnra nnmprnnt than or?#?n cuts and as far as the road has gone sixty-one tunnels have been constructed, aggregating 20,000 feet in length. The road attains a height of 15,000 feet abovo the level of the sea and at the highest point is about equal to the topmost peak of Mount Blanc. It pierces the range above by a tunnel of 3847 feet long. The tunnels of the Andes, however, do not compare with those of the Union Pacific, nor do the latter approach the tunnels of the Alps. The improvements in locomotives rendered them capable of climbing grades, which in early days of railroad engineering were deemed out of the question. The first railroads were laid almoet level, but was soon discovered that a glade of a few feet to the mile was no impediment to progress,and gradually the srrade was steepened. To the energj and perseverance of inventors the success of mountain railroading is due. The road up Mount Washington, finished in 1868, was the first, and the road up Pike's Peak is the latest of the steep lines. Of the European roads, the one up the sides of Mount Rigi in the Alps i? the most famous. It is 19,000 feet long and in that distance rises -.WOO feet at an averaging grade of one foot to every four. At places the grade is about one foot in two and a half, which is believed to be the steepest in the world.? Chicagc Herald.. An Erergreen Tree. THE .

Of late years steps have been taken to prevent the destruction of forests by fire in certain districts of India. This care has had one curious result. Cover and water, which vanished with the timber, have again become common, and therf' has consequently been a large increase in the number of tigers. For the same reason there has also been an enormous increase in the number of wild deer. In one sense it is fortunate that the deei have grown in numbers with the tigers, for the latter have preyed upon them in stead ot upon cattle ana numan oeings. When, however, they shall have scared away the deer, or have become tired of venison, they will probably prowl around villages and play havoc with cattle, besides killing their man or two. ?Picayune.

A wonderful natural curiosity has lately been discovered in Tasmania and described before the Royal Society. Near Southport, in Tasmania, there is a large cave with an entrance through limestone t formation. A considerable stream of water flows along the chambers of the cave. The first chamber reached by the explorers showed some fine stalactites pendant from the roof, and stalagmites covered the floor with thousands of miniature steeples. All this is quite common in great caves, but now comes the marvel: The lights carried by the explorers were suddenly extinguished by a whiff of wind, and simultaneously the ceiling and sides of the cave seemed to be Btudded with diamonds. This marvelous effect, as afterward appeared, resulted from tbe presence of millions of glow-worms, hanging to tho sides and the roof of the cavern. On passing into chambers farther from the entrance the explorer; found similar but much grander sights, the number of the glow-worms increasing with the greater quantitea of stalactites and stalagmites. About threefourths of a mile of cave length was explored, but it is supposed that the extreme length is from three to four miles, and that Tasmania, therefore, has probably the most wonderful cave thus far discovered.?Detroit Free Press. "Boy" and '-Widow" in Ireland. Nothing is more likely to perplex the English visitor to Ireland than to And English words used there in different sense from that in which he has been accustomed all his life to use them. One j of the best-known examples, perhaps. that could be cited is the peculiar sense in wbich the word "boy" is used, being, in fact, equivalent to the English "bachelor." A young man is a "boy" until he is married, and, though less widely, "girl" is used in a similar way to denote a spinster. To a "foreign" ear it sounds ludicrous to hear a gray-haired man or women spoken of as a "boy" or a "girl," but to one accustomed to the country the fuller meaning is clear. * If it is intended to convey the idea of youth as a rule quite different expression is used?it will be a "Wee chap," a "gosson," a "lad," or, for one more grown, "a lump of a lad," is the expressive designation. Equally peculiar, but much more intelligible, is the Irish use of widow. Widow in Ireland is not, as in England, feminine. It is a word of common gender and is seldom, used by itself, the gender being denoted by affixed "man" or 'woman," thus widow-man" and "widow-woman" are of every-day use.?London Tit-Bits.
