LIGHTS OF IMMENSE POWER
Rays From Points on United States
Coast Are Visible Seventy Mile*
I Cut at Sea.
J The highest beacon light maintained
by the United States for warning
navigators is at Cape Mendocino, CaL,
422 feet above sea level. It has a
range of 28 miles.
The brightest light and one of the
most brilliant in the world is at
Navesink, N. J., on the highlands at
the entrance of New York bay. It
is 25,000,000 candle power and its
zlare has been seen from 70 miles out
i in the ocean.
The largest lighthouse "lens" is at
Makapuu point, on the island of Oahu
(Hawaiian group). Its beam at night
brings first news to voyagers from
L the United States that they are nearing
the mid-Pacific archipelago. It
is called a "hyperradient," the inside
diameter of the lens being about nine
feet and that of the glass lantern inclosing
it 16 feet.
The lens of the Navesink light incloses
a powerful electric arc. But,
generally speaking, kerosene is the
preferred illuminant for many lighthouses.
A lens frequently is built up of
glass prisms arranged in panels, the
object being to concentrate the light
into a beam of maximum brilliancy
and range. Some lighthouse lenses
are so arranged as to revolve, a contrivance
of the sort, weighing perhaps
6,000 pounds, being floated upon mercury
and thereby turned so easily that
a small bit of clockwork actuated by !
a 100-pound weight will operate it.
GOT FACTS SLIGHTLY MIXED
Representative Osborne Evidently Had
Not Taken Keen Notice of Position
of Sherman Statue.
One of the best speeches in the
- T> .nMAMAn^a _ I
House in years came irum xvepicacuiatlve
Osborne of California the day of
\ the Pershing parade, says the Los An
geles Times. Having been one of the
soldiers who .marched up Pennsylvania
avenue at the close of the Civil '
war for a final review by General
Sherman, he was nble to draw a beautiful
and striking contrast with the
return of the veterans of 1919.
At one point in the address the representative
spoke feelingly of how
Sherman, at the head of the column,
at Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue had turned on his horse and
looked back at the advancing veterans.
'Thus," said Mr. Osborne, "the figure
of Sherman, cast in bronze, sits today
at the head of Pennsylvania avenue,
as he sat that day more than fifty
years ago."
The reference to the Sherman statue
aroused great interest and many were
the pilgrimages made to the statue
within the next few days to see how
Sherman looked gazing down the ave- nue.
But horror of horrors! It developed
that Sherman was looking not
toward the advancing column, but toward
the White House, which stands
in an opposite direction. ;
Now Osborne is looking for the man
who placed it thus.
Laya Under Ranger Field?
Geologists believe that continued oil*
operations in the Hanger field, should
they attain a depth of one mile under
the surface, will prove the existence
of a live lava bed, a Ranger (Tex.)
correspondent of the New York Evening
Sun writes. In the region of j
Caddo oil drillers have discovered that j
bits of the drills show evidences of intense
heat within 3,200 feet of the
Surface, and the heat at that depth is
sufficient. to discharge shots of nitroglycerin
without the use of a fulminating
cap.
A peculiarity of the Ranger field in
Stephens county is the number of crevasses
encountered in drilling through
the black lime. These crevasses are
filled more or less with oil-yielding
sand and when this sand is "shot"
the flow of petroleum rushes tQ the
surface. Whether this rush is aided
by the subter^nean heat is problem- |
atlcal, but it is believed that the heat
has a great deal to do with the rush
f the oil.
Btby and His 0.
Santa Clans brought an educational
board to Baby Jack Woerner, son of
Hr. and Mrs. C. A. Woerner, Jr., 3818 1
Graceland avenue. He took more interest
in the new board than in any
of his toys and after a few evenings
of diligent study, with mother as instructor,
he could pick out most of
the letters of the alphabet. 0 became
bis favorite letter, however, and anything
resembling that letter in shape
Was an 0 to him. One evening mother
was asking him to point out his eyes,
n+n nrh1r?)i hp did
pose, ciiiii, Luuuui, .. ? v- ?
With much success. Finally she pointed
to his ear and asked: "What is
that?' After a short pause, he
glanced across the room at his new
educational board and answered:

Wild Section in Southern France.
An almost forgotten region lately
pointed out by Samuel Wells to the
Liverpool Geographical society is
southern and midland France, with
the desert lands on the Mediterranean.
Here the wild horse and a breed of
buffaloes are still extant, acd great
rocks, gorges and caverns are features
of the country. The immense caves
abound in remains of the stone and
bronze ages, while wonderful stalactites
hasg from the roofs. The buildings
show architecture centuries old,
specially that of the Bom^n period.

rpHERE is a deJL
finite reason for
the oval shaoe and

Staggard Studs.
There is a reason for
their precise number
and the exact location
of one stud in relation
to the other.
Staggard Studs scien- 1
tifically produce |
maximum grip with ?

They reduce shock
