THE CAPE 8T. ELIAS
• LIGHT FOG SIGNAL
Flashing Its powerful light fur Into
the night, sending the trumpet notes
from the siren whistle for miles out
to sea when fog and mist darken the
waves, the government's new light
house that has juet been put In oper
ation, is proving of great aid to navi
gation, according to a man who has
lust returned from there where he
has been employed for several months
past. He says that at night a double
Hash darts out to sea every twenty
seconds, and in foggy weather the
siren can he heard for miles four
seconds every minute.
The new lighthouse is one of the
most important on the Northern
coasts. It is the landfall light for
vessels bound to Prince William
Sound and Cook Inlet from either the
Pnciflc Coast or from the Southeast
ern Alaska coast. All the vessels of
the Alaska Steamship Company and
the Admiral Line that operate in the
Southeastern and Southwestern Alas
ka route out of Seattle, to say noth
ing of the Alaska engineering com
mission's vessels and the fleet of
other vessels, including tugs and
barges, that now ply the Southwest
ern Alaska runs, will from now on
depend on the light and the siren.
A gas, whistling and submarine
nell buoy was placed off Cape St.
Ellas May 14, last, as an aid to navi
gation. An automatic gas light also
nas been maintained on an olT-lying
rock during the construction of the
new lighthouse. The lighthouse was
'icnstructcd by the lighthouse serv
ice which has maintained a force of
workmen and experts at the Isolated
site for the last two seasons. The
temporary light has been discontinu
ed and will be dismantled.
The lighthouse is built on the
south end of Kyak Island on a shelf
forty-flve feet above sea level. The
local plane of the light is forty feet
above the base of the structure and
therefore 85 feet above sea level.
The illuminating apparatus consists
of a three-mantle lamp, with double
flashing lens of 300,000 candlepower.
Due to the light’s elevation its range
is 15 1-4 nautical miles.—Exchange.

TELEGRAPH WITH LIGHTS.
Battleship* Can 8end Signals Twelve
Milas In Daylight.
Although searchlight signaling be
tween battleships was a moans of
communication at sen long before the
Introduction of wireless telegraphy. It
is still utilized.
The latest battleships of onr navy
are equipped with projectors designed
especially for this purpose, while the
older vessels use their regular search
lights, for which auxiliary shutters are
supplied. Levers operate these latter
members. Hashing tlie lights on and ofT
quickly so that messages may Ik* spell
ed out in dots and dashes, cither at (lay
or night.
For day signaling the light shaft Is
directed squarely at flic observer, and
for enabling this a telescope Is mount
ed with the projector. When atmos
pheric conditions are good tlie radius
of communication is nhont twelve
miles In any direction. At night this Is
obviously much Increased, for light
nmy be played on some prominent
cloud and seen for n distance of forty
or fifty miles.
When there are no clouds the search
lights may Ikj directed skyward and
their shafts of light seen at closer
range. The feasibility of launching
captive balloons ns substitutes for
cloud banks lias been suggested.—Pop
ular Mechanics.
EARLY TRADEMARKS.
When First Used They Were Without
Any Protection In Law.
The recognition of trademarks by
English luw may tie said to date only
from the beginning of the nineteenth
century, hut the use of trademarks
was, of course, of far earlier date.
So far back ns the reign of . I nines I.
a certain clotlder applied the murk of
another clothier to his own inferior
goods, but the reports of the lawsuit
which ensued leave It doubtful whether
the action was brought by the owner of
the mark or by an Indignant customer,
iu which latter case It would simply be
uu ordinary action for fraud.
In 1742 Lord Ilnnlwtcke declared
that “every particular trailer has some
particular mnrk or stamp.” At the
same time Ids lordship refused to grant
the protection of the law to the "(Srent
Mogul” stamp on cards. He was ap
parently under (he impression that tin
legal recognition of trademarks meant
the creation of u uew kind of monop
oly, and lie made up his mind to ohvi
ate such possibility.
Lord Eklon, on the other hand, re
pentedly granted injunctions to re
strain one trader from fraudulent!)
"passing off” his goods as those of an
other and tints helped to lay a founda
tlon on which tile present trademark
law lias been built up In successive
stages —London Standard.
Shakespeare Plus Cervantes.
There is an old tradition which links
Cervantes with Shakespeare in cornice
tiou with the lost play "Cardeuno,” or
"Cardeniia.” which was twice acted at
court by Shakespeare's company iu
1(113 and was announced for publieu
tion some forty years later as "The
History of Cardenio. by Fletcher and
Shakespeare.” The publication never
took pluce, and nothing Is otherwise
known of the piece with certainty, but
Sir Sidney Lee believes it to have boon
a dramatic version of the adventures
of the lovelorn Cardenio. related in the
Urst part of “Eton Quixote,” Shelton's
translation of which appeared in 10t2
Why Salt Causes Thirst.
Salt lilts been described as a natural
element of the blood iu about the saute
proportion as iu the water of theoeeun
Under general conditions we do nol
feel the existence of salt in our bodies
because Its effect is counteracted by a
due proportion of water.
When wo cat nil excessive amount
of salt thirst is created by tlie demand
of nature tbut we also take a propor
donate amount of water and dilute the
salt to Its proper relative amoiiut. Any
food that tends to absorb the moisture
of the body will cause thirst for the
same reason—Hint our physical welfare
requires a balanced quantity of water
Scared by the Elephant.
Tradition has It that Caesar brought
elephants with him to Britain and that
they contributed to his conquest of the
Island. Having unsuccessfully attempt
ed to cross the Thames. Caesar built h
large turret on an elephant and. load
lug It with bowmen and slingers, or
dered them to pass the stream, where

of the unknowu monster, tied In confu
