LIGHTHOUSE AND LIGHTSHIP. Government Beacons and Signals for the Protection of Ships at Sea. No more lonely life could well be imagined than that which is led by the keepers of a lighthouse. Cut off, for months together, from all the rest of the world, lookiag out on nothing save sea and sky or a passing vessel; hear- ing nothing but shrieking winds and thundering waves, and knowing that the slightest neglect of duty may cause the loss of many lives, is there any wonder that men in this position be- come merbid and morose, and that they sometimes pine away utter loneliness? For a number of years the States government has been try devise some through United ing to means of communication between lighthouses and the land. A plan, which is now under considera tion, involves the laying of an o} telegraph cable out from the she the ocean for do numbe miles. A buoy is anchored to the sea-end of the cable, and the cise location of the the nautical charts. nary into of pre buoy is set down on Ifa vessel should desire to send a message to the land, she will anchor close to the buoy and drop a wire over- board, with a ground-plate attached to it. The wire is not ex in contact with the water is an electric board ected to come but salt conductor, the from u battery on will jump from the ble and be transmitted to station. -one cable, excellent current, the ship, e to the ¢ the shore Right steam sirens and other fog-signals have been placed by the yovernment on lighthouses and light- ships, at a cost of six hundred thousand dollars, and maintained at a yearly ex- pense of one hundred thousand dollars. The siren, which was invented by Prof. Henry, is a huge trumpet with bell-shaped mouth, pointed out to sea. Nothing has ever been made that is apable of emitting such a loud and as far-reaching noise. A powerful jet of steam is projected through a tube, which is partly obstructed by a revolv- ing whee! perforated with slits. The faster the wheel goes round, the cher and louder is the shriek which comes from the machine. There are a number of lighthouses which it would be desirable to connect by telegraph with the mainland. Take for example the lighthouse situated on one of the Farallone islands, in the Pa- cific ocean, twenty-two miles from Saa Francisco. No more desolate situation could well be imagined. The light- house has a powerful light, which stands three hundred and sixty feet above the sea. This light is supple- mented by a fog whistle of peculiar character. The surf beating on the shore formed many eaves in the rocks. One of them had a hole in its top, and through that hole the incoming break- ers expelled the air carried before them. ‘The mouthpiece of a huge trumpet was fixed in this hole, and now the waves blow loud and powerful blasts through it. It is only silent for an hour and a half each ‘Tillamook Rock is an felet one acre in extent, one mile from shore, and twenty miles south of the entrance of the Columbia river, Oregon. There is a lighthouse on it, the building of which was a difficult task. The rock rises one hundred feet above sea level, with deep wate around. Thousands of sea-lions m it their home, and it was a hard mat- ter to drive them away. The first man who tried to land and make a survey of the rock was drowned. Then eight men reached the islet by the breeches buoy, and sought to find a shelter by eutting away some of the rock, A hurricane came up which threw waves over the summit, and they were nearly swept away. But they toiled on with drills and dynamite: the top of the rock was leveled, and a tower was put up, witha light one hundred and thirty- six feet above the sea. The lighthouse is provided with a siren, which has two trumpets. ‘The two steel boilers which generate the amare as large The trumpe seconds duration anda half Under as locomotive boil- ts sound blasts of five at intervals of one inutes, when there isa fog. fave le conditions, the shrieks ean be heard at a distance of thirty | miles.
