Bids will be opened in the office of the lighthouse board July 1 for the erection of u lighthouse gu the Outer Diamond shoal, off Cape Hatterass, North Carolina. The total cost of the structure is limited by act of congress 500,000. The Diamend shoals, which southeasterly off Cape Hatteras. have | always been dreaded by mariners as the most exposed unt dangerous loculity on the entire Atlantic coast,and a large number of vessels have been wrecked there annually, involving enormous | losses of life and property. A light- house on the outer shoal would have undoubtedly suved many of these vos- sels, as the nearest hight on Cape Hat- teras is invisible in bad weather. A Jight has never been eracted on this shoal before on account of the extra- ordinary engineering difficulties in the way, and the work now contemplated will be the greatest undertaking in the line of lighthouse building in the world. There are but two lighthouses in the world, says a corvespondent of the Bal- timore Sun, that can be at all com- pared with it. These are the Rother- sand light. at the mouth of the Weser river, folland, in the North sea.and the fourteen-foot light at the mouth of the Delaware buy. The tower is to be 150 high from low-water mark to the light in the lantern. It will bave to be of great strength to withstund the action of the sea,and will haye to rest on solid rock beneath the ever-shift sands of the shoals. To obtain this | solid foundation and get the structure to such a height that the first roush weather will not destroy it utterly is the | great preblem that the builders will have to solve. The lighthouse board does not specify what method shall be adopt:d, but i is generally understood that an in mense caisson eighty or 100 feet in di- ameter, with a hollow iron cylinder ting from its center, will be built at the most convenient port. This will resemble a gigantic iron pan turned upside down, with a tube run- ning from its center. This caisson will have to be towed out to the site, being lifted on the way over a bar where there is but eight feet of water at high tide. When itis finally at the site it will be sunk rapidly until its cutting edges rests on the sands of the shonl. Then the work of excavation will be begun and carried on as fast as the most modern appliances will admit. As the sand beneath the cassion is ex- cavated and carried up througnh the tube the sharp edges will sink lower, until finally bedrock is reached. When all the edges rest firmly on the rock the entire caission and tube will be filled with conerete to a height of thirty feet above the sea level converting it into a solid block and column of stone almost as firm as a granite monolith, The action of the seas and the constant scouring of the sand might soon wear away the iron shell, but the concrete will be practic- ally indestructible. It will be proteet- ed, however, by a rip-rap packing of granite blocks weighing not less than two tonseach. Above this solid struc- ture will be an iron and steel tower divided into ten stories, including the watch room and the lantern. After get ing the caisson tower out of its final resting place the contractors will have to work night and day, with- out a moment’s intermission, until it rests on its foundation and the concrete is filled 1n, for, 1f 4 storm should arise before the work was done, everything would be destroyed. At the Rothersand light, which was built on this principle, the caisson was thus destroyed, and the contractor was financially ruined by the loss. 1In tnis lighthouse the first floor will be devoted to stores, the second to the fog-signal machinery. The third floor will be a fire-proof storehouse for oil for the lamps. The next four floors will contain the living rooms for the keeper and his assistants. The eighth floor will be theservice room, and above it will vise the watch room and the lan- stern, Work is to be commenced within one month from the date of the approval of the contract, and the contractor is to lix the time within which it is to be completed, No payment is tobe made until the lighthouse has been in suc- cesslul operation a year. Notwithstand- ing the usual difticulties in the way of carrying out the work, a number of large engineering lirms will probably bid, and it is thought there will be no difficulty in entering into a contract.
