It is in the South Sea off the Samoan port of Apia and is a British possession. Elements Defied to Build Phxll mes nghthou.se on Sun-Baked Coral Reef By the Associated Press. A successful end to an 18-month campaign to plant a lighthouse on Tub- bataha Reef in the Philippine Islands, marked by a bitter and ceaseless strug- gle against the elements, has been re- ported by the Lighthouse Service of the Department of Commerce. A low coral reef set in the midst of a nest of rock shoals, sunbaked and hurricane - swept, has been crowned with a 120-foot tower to carry the light that will warn mariners. Presently the reef will be covered with soil behind a seawall to make a tiny park under the tower. Work began on the construction in November, 1926, and was stopped re- peatedly by hurricanes which swept the barren, low islet. Many days the sun, ben(lnf on the white coral, made labor impossible during normal working hours. Water had to be distilled out of the sea to supply the gangs struggling with the concrete and steel. Sickness forced retirement of a high percentage of the working force, but the erection of the light has been proven a neces- sity to safeguard the sea traffic be- tween Manila and Hongkong and Aus- R.

Now there is a 5ono-cnndlepower lan- tern atop a concrete tower buttressed by wide, flaring columns, cross-braced with steel internally and judged fit to stand the stress of tropic winds that in these seas rise often to typhoon veloc- ity. The last step will be transporta- don of the soil to fill in behind the seawall, that the lighthouse keeper may have some tiny spot of green and shade to break the searing white of the coral and the burning blue of the sea that makes up the only horizon. . France Claims Fastest Train. ‘That its “Sud-Express,” which travels between Bordeaux and Dax at an aver- age schedule of 62 miles an hour, is the fastest train in the world is the claim of the French government. The train is operated entirely by electricity, Midi system, on which it operates, hav- ing just completed 4~2 miles of its pro- gram of electrification. By the change from steam engines the French stnu estimates there will be a aavlflg‘l 200,000 tons of coal a year on the system alone. Other lines are also being electrified.
