The CaLn se- of the Cary’s art department, from his sketch here reproduced, followed from point to point as the letters and figures in- Iumed, and the outline sketch developed under his hand until it was a counterpart of that which lay on the artist’s table 500 miles away. The outlines were then handed to a CALL staff artist and he, with the aid of the de- scriptive telegram, filled in the sketch until it was a faithful representation of the scene as it appeared. As stated, this was the first test of Mr. Willoughby’s invention. The whole trans- action, from the sketch in Los Angeles to the metal casting of the plate in San Fran- cisco, was a matter of a few hours. With | frequent resetition greater ease and speed | in both sen ing and receiving a picture b{ the method would follow naturally. Al- ready Mr. Willoughby has introduced an improvement calculated to develop this and to avoid errors.

To that end such scenes were chosen for the test as were most striking, as attracting the most attention, and which, because of | their character, could not have been an- | ticipated.

HOW THE AIR HAS DECEIVED. Professor Davidson Tells of Some Strange Phenomena Due to Refraction. Navigators will be interested in Professor George Davidson’s correction of a state- ment that ““the highest order of light in operation in the United !States lighthouse service can be seen only twenty-one miles in clear weather.”” When asked about it yesterday Mr. Davidson, whose work in the Government Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey has made him informed of facts ad infinitum, said: “The statement is wholly. erroneous, The old lighthouse on Point Loma, San Diego Bay, 462 feet above the sea, was visible at sea from a height thirty feet above a ship's deck a little over thirty-six statute miles distant, The present south- east Farallon light, off the Golden Gate, which is 360 feet above sea-level, is visible under similar conditions nearly thirty- three miles away. Moreover, you will find in my ‘Coast Pilot,” on page 200 of the last edition, that this light is clearly visible from Sulphur Peak, near the Geysers, at a distance of seventy-five miles, or 64.4 nautical miles. Sulphur Peak is 3471 feet above sea-level. ““All visitors to Mount Diablo know that the light on the southeast Farallon can be easily seen from there—a distance of sixty- two miles. The Cape Mendocino light can be seen thirty-five miles. And had the lighthouse on Point Reyes been built on the highest point of that headland the focal plane would have been 620 feet above thesea and the light could be seen over forty miles away. *“The fact is we do not know how far one of our first-class sea coast lights may be visible; it is a mere question of elevation, and thereby overcoming the curvature of the earth. There would be no difficulty in seeing such a light as the southeast Faral- lon from Mount Shasta to Mount Diablo at 3 A. 3w, when the refraction is greatest and overcomes the curvature of the earth’s surface by limng up, as it were, objects, That distance is 244 miles. It has been asked why, then, the coast lights were not located upon the highest altitudes possible. I can answer that with one word—fog. When, in the ’50s, we un- dertook the location of these lights, we naturally started out to do that very thing. We placed the original light at Point Loma at an altitude of 462 feet; that at Point Conception, near the west entrance of the Santa Barbara Channel, 258 feet; that at Point Bonita, 806 feet; that at Point Reyes, 620 feet, and several others likewise. But the experience of navigators, both mer-| chant-marine and naval, satisfied us that the lights should be lowered whenever practical, for the reason that the most usual fogs are generally from 150 to 200 feet high—that 1s, their under sides, I may say, are that heighit, leaving a clear stratum | of air beneath. So we lowered the Point Loma light to 90 feet, that at Point Con- ception to 135, Point Bonita 126, made Point Reyes over 300 feet lower, and Cape Meares, which is now 223 feet, was largely cut down to that height. z “Some lights have had to be built high to avoid the sea swells and waves, like that on St. Georges reef, which is 145 feet, and the Tillamook rock light, off the Columbia, which is 136 feet, and other lights we have not been able to get any lower, or we would. These are: The southeast Faral- lon, 360 feet: Point Sur, 272; Point Arena, 156; Cape Mendocino, 43, and Cape Blanco, 256. Among the very low lights are: Point Pinos, 91 feet; Cape Arago (Coos Bay), 75, and Point Adams on the Colum- bia, which is 99 feet, and is frequently vis- ible when Cape Disappointment, across the river, 232 feet high, is enveloped in fog. S T incidemally mentioned aerial refrac- tion a little while ago. Well, a great many peculiar phenossena are due to it. Owing to it a light may be actually repeated in the air vertically above the real light. ““This refraction has been responsible for the discoveries by famous navigators of many islands which never had any ex- istence, A celebrated instance of this was the reported discovery of the island of San Juan (called also St. Johns) in the Santa Barbara Channel. . Martinez made that discovery in 1789 during a passage from Monterey to San Blas, and in Vancouver's narrative you can find a very matter-of- fact reference to it. Vancouver said he saw it from the San Diego presidio during a very clear evening. The truth 1s, it was simply the island of S8an Clemente lifted up, apparently, kg refraction. Captain Cook reported the discovery of some such islands 1n Bering Sea. ‘‘Refraction has fooled the Aleuts fre- guently. Once upon a remarkably clear ay with northerly winds they saw islands, as they report, to the southeast and north- east, and many trips were made to reach them, the Russian Commercial Company sending out vessels on that mission, In 1867 I investigated the matter, and found that each direction was on a line with one of the highest peaks of the Aleutian Islands, and that what they mistook for islands were these peaks, which had been so lifted up as to make them easily visible. “Why, up in the Arctic, navigators, owing to this refraction, sometimes plainly see vessels which they know to be actually between 80 and 90 milesaway, and yet they cal thread upon the refracted signal. Then I turned the telescope downward to Smiths Island and the signal proper, and the direct ime:ige of the signal was on the vertical thread. “I saw a very curious thing in 1880. It was late in the spring and I was making a night observation from the south_station of the Yolo base line. The signal I was using was for azimuth observation. I no- ticed it change from an apparent star- light to a_series of prismatically colored images racing up ana down the vertical thread through a space of five minutes of arc, equivalent to a_vertical distance of about fifteen feet. There was no hori- zontal refraction because the images kept on the vertical line. The line of sight from the telescope to the signal passed within twelve feet of the earth at a point middle way between the two stations. ‘““Another remarkable phenomenon due to refraction: The heliotro; signal at Mount Diablo during the daytime pre- sented the appearance of a great irregular flame issuing from the smokestack of an iron furnace. For two weeks I was unable to correctly locate this object owing to its great unsteadiness an area. It was about forty-six miles long and seemed about fifty feet in diameter. “This distorted image was occasioned by the irregular refraction of the beam of light from a heliotrope signal pass- ing through the warm air of the Pa- checo Valley, then through the cold air rushing through the upper part of Suisun Bay, afterward through the verg hot air of the low country, thence through Dixon to Davisville. “To give you an idea of what havoc re- fraction may play with calculations, I need only say that from the summit of Diablo the summit of Shasta would be visible at 3 o’clock in tha morning, 400 feet above the ocean level, eight miles south of Colusa, but at noon, when the refraction is Jeast, the top of Shasta would be 400 feet below the tangency of the line south of Colusa. And mind you, refraction is not dissociated from even very clear weather.” DEATH OF QUEEN CATHERINE. A Famous Mad Woman of a New York Asylum. For the last twenty-three years there has been confined in the Kings County Insane Asylum at Flatbush an old woman who was known to the attaches of the insti- tution and to all visitors as “The Queen.” She died on Saturday afternoon from a stroke of apoplexy, aged about 80 years, says the New York Advertiser. General Superintendent Sylvester said yesterday that he could not divulge the Queen’s real name, as he did not know if her relatives would like it. For twenty- five years this woman has imagined her- self Queen Catherine of Russia, and has insisted thst she always be treated by ordi- nary mortals in a manner befitting to one of her high station. On all other subjects she was comparatively sane, and would talk intelligently for hours, provided her visitors showed her the proper respect from the time they were introduced to her. She always required tife ‘‘bending of the knee,”’ as she expressed it, and in return for this obsequious salutation she would give a haughty nod of her head. All visitors to the asylum were instruct- ed before going into her presence just how to act,and any failure on their part to show a proper amount of respect always put her in a bad humor. She never be- came violent, howeyer. All the attendants humored “The Queen,” and even her daughter and other relatives, who called on _her often, were always as respectful and humble as she desired. Nearly every visitor to the asylum dur- ing the last score of years has seen *The Queen.” Shortly after she was taken to the asylum she made herself a crown about two feet tall, which she nearly al- ways wore when visitors called upen her. This crown was made of pasteboard and covered with red cloth. Around the bot- tom and up the sides were sewed every conceivable thing in the shape of a trinket oran article of show that she could gef hold of. There were beads and buttons of every discription, with pieces of colored glass and a number of small bright pieces of metal that had done service as pocketbook clnsgs, shoe buckles, hat ornaments and keyhole plates. These she called her jew- els. Topping off the crown was a large feather which one of the nurses had se- cured for her from a feather duster. Besides the crown, Queen Catherine had a dress which she had ornamented ina like manner. When in her full regalia she wore, hanging loosely over her shoulders, a big brass chain of many folds. “I don’t know how she got the idea that she was a Queen,”’ said the superintendent, “and I don't believe her family knows. She was not of foreign birth, nor were her }mreuts, so I don’t think the idea came rom the belief that she had noble rela- tives. ————e ICE-BOUND LABRADOR. A Mixed Community Consisting of Trappers and Hunters. Sometimes Labrador is ice-bound from September till June, but through all this long and dreary winter the lighthouse- keeper on Belle Isle must maintain his watch to be ready to light the lamp when the break-up comes. For months he sces nothing but frozen plain, uncertain of footing and impassable, and in the dis- tance the ice-sheathed cliffs of Newfound- land. The few who have made their way into the interior of Labrador say itisa vast wilderness of huge bowlders, varied only by morasses and lakes. An old French writer speaks of it as the “Land of Cain,” and the latest explorers complained that they suffered bitterly from cold be- cause they could not find fuel enough to maintain camp fires. Often, indeed, they had difficulty in making even a little become so plainly visible as to be distin- guishable. ‘1 have had some amusing experiences on land. Once while locating the San Pedro base line on the Los Angeles plains I was most laughably deceived. Youknow we use white flags and the Morse system for signaling. Well, my man was some distance away and it appeared to me that he was signaling all sorts of things which neither nor Mephistopheles himself could interpret, andpwhnt I wanted was that flag to be kept still. The more it sig- naled the madder I became. I felt like communicating back a few phrases that would best appear in print in plain dashes, but the Morse system is a little too slow for that sort of thing.- Finally I went over, furiously, to have that fellow’s scalp. ‘When I'got up to him I saw his flag lging on the firoun . He told me it had been there all the time, so there was no scalp raised and I felt a little cheap. I have observed most extraordinary in- stances of refraction from Mount Diablo. Three years ago I saw distinctly from that eminence across the Sacramento plains, a distance of 142 miles, the erest line of the Sierra Nevadas reflected in the sky. The mountain tops, except for being inverted, were an exact reproduction. To make the matter conclusive there was'my heliotrope signal on the top of Mount Conness (12,566 feet) repeated just above it, and the refracted light was nearly as bright as the real one. “During 1854, while on a bluff about twa miles west of Port Townsend, and f&ciflfi northward toward Smiths Island, whic is about the middle of the Straits of Fuca, and upon which I had placed a signal on a site I had selected for a lighthouse, I saw a curious phenomenon. 'fhe day was re- markably calm—not a breath of wind nor acat’s paw. Some beach-comber had built a_fire on the Point Partridge beach on ‘Whidby Island, a few miles east of Smiths Islafil}i. **The smoke from it ascended in a perpen: dicular column about 1000 feet mg’]fi. and then it was bent at a sharp angle and spread out_horizontally to the westward. My eyes followed that smoke until I saw distinctly the inverted image of Smiths Island in the sky. There it was with its few trees all there, and my signal on its western end—a g)olo about forty feet high. Ileveled my v eodolite, carefully turned the telescope and moved the middle verti- blaze for cooking. Naturally, gmq% acountry has not invited settlers, and it is not surprising to learn that in its whole vast area—two and a half times as large as Great Britain and lre- land—there "are not more than 4000 dwellers; of these only about half are whites, the others being Esquimaux and Hudson Bay Company trappers and hunters. These are a shiftless lot who come down to the nearest company post early in summer and exchange Sleir elts for gmvuions, planting themselves down at the post.and proceeding to gorge them- selves until their entire stock is exhausted. A pound of teaand a bag of flour isthe most that one band of these ‘“moun- taineers’’ has been known to carry back— all they had to show, except temporaril, satistied appetites, for their whole winter’s work as hunters in that desolate region. These trappers and hunters are Indians, but always called “mountaineers”; while the Esquimaux, who have not a drop of Indian blood in them, are called Indians, though ‘‘Huskies” is the favorite term for them among the fishermen. The fisher- men, mostly Newfoundlanders, skirt the Labrador coast in summer in deep-water craft, or fill up the mn§1 fishing-stages on the rocky islands, which, duringthe winter have been either wholly deserted or left in charge of a storekeeper. There must be some attraction in_this wild life, for a keeper who, after liying twenty ¥eqrs at one of these desolate out- posts “of civilization, went {o London for a little change, returned to Labrador as soon as possible, because he found London “so_lonely”’; and Hudson Bay Company agents who have vfiiven up their positions to go back to civilization have been glad to return to their posts. They missed the free, open-air life; but, above all, probably, their autocratic sway, which makes them kings within the boundaries of the post.— Gustave Kobbe in St. Nicholas.
