THE UNERRING SUN
It Is Uncle Sam's Most Reliable
Lighthouse Keeper.
NEVER FALTERS IN ITS WORK.
By the Aid of the Wonderful Sun Valve
It Light* the Acetylene Beacon* ?? It
8eta at Night and Extinguiahea Them
aa It Riaaa In the Morning.
The sun Is the most trustworthy of
lighthouse keepers. The sun or the
heat from It light* many hundreds of
beacons along our coasts and water
ways evening after evening and ex
tinguishes them punctually every morn
ing. They are guides on land and sea
that are never touched by human hands
from one month's end to auother. The
way Id which the United States gov
ernment, through Its lighthouse Iward.
has utilized the services of the sun and
made that great lamp of heaven a
faithful and unerring servant Is mast
Interesting.
The discovery of acetylene ga* was
the first step toward retiring the lonely
kee|<ers of the little lights In faroflf
places. M'xlern magic was not slow
In recognizing the fact that by the ap
plication of certain well known scien
tific principles the lighting of the great
chains of beacons that girdle the coasts
of the two seas and the gulf and cover
the gr<?at lakes and every navigable
stream in our huge country could l>e
much simplified.
The United States did not become In
terested In the acetylene light and Its
automatically generating gas buoy until
about the year liNHl and did not adopt
It until 1!X?S. Then the engineers of
the lighthouse board devised some
wouderful Improvements, among them
the utllixntioii of the sun.
The self lighting and self extinguish
ing acetylene lieacon Is a very simple I
thing, but it dejieuds almost entirely |
on the "sun valve." which is one of the
most wouderful but least complex of
the achievements of modem science.
In tin* first place, the source of light
for those lone Iteacons Is dissolved
acetylene, which is stored under pres
sure in steel cylinders. ?>ne of these
cylinders can lie charged with enough
gas to last a small beacon three years.
Usually, however. In the case of float
ing buoys, a six months' supply is all
that is necessary, as such buoys are
overhauled and painted twice a year.
Knowing the size of the llame and Its
hourly consumption of gas. it Is very
easy to compute how long a cyllnderfu!
will Inst ami how often it will need to
l>e visited. That is all the care the
light will need. The suu valve does
J>> mt. II
The scientific principle upon which
the nun valve depends l? that light
wave* become transformed In different
degrees. according to the nature of the
intercepting body. Sunlight upon dark
surfaces is converted Into heat, and '
heat produces expansion. This expan
sion Is especially perceptible In certain ,
metals.
In a carefully scaled and substantial
ly mounted glass Jar nearly a foot
high and about one-fourth that In di
?meter a thick black rod is placed per
pendlcularly through the center, it 1*
supported by three slenderer rods of
highly polished copper. The big black
rod Is of copi>er also and Is coated wltl.
lampblack to make It absorb light to
the greatest possible degree. The sup
porting rods reflect light without ab
sorbing It and do not expand or con
tract to the same extent as the largest
rod.
The thick black piece of copper In
the center of the Jar Is extremely sen
sitive to light and heat. As the sun
appears and the atmosphere grows
warmer In the morning this rod length
ens. It pushes down Into the metal
chamber In which the glass Jar rests
and touches the end of a lever. It
presses down on this lever, which Is
controlled by a spring and cuts off the
flow of the gas to tbe lamp.
When the sun disappears from view
In the evening and the temperature of
the air falls the process Is reversed.
The rod contracts and releases Its pres
sure on the lever, allowing the gas to
flow upward to the lamp. The gas Is
Ignited by a little pilot flame that Is
never extinguished. Thus the beacon
is lighted at the proper time and Is put
out when It is no longer needed, al
though along desolate coasts It may
never gladden the humau eye for
months at a time.
The engineers of the lighthouse bonrd
say that the precision of this device Is
almost Incredible. It can be used with
equal certainty In equatorial heat and
In polar cold, for It responds with the
utmost accuracy to small variations In
temperature. It Is used on lonely Is
lands In the Pacific. There are nearly
a hundred of these sun valve beacons
In Alaska. In summer they are aids
to navigation, and In winter they guide
the travelers on dog sledges over the
frown wastes ? Harper's Weekly.

THE AGE OF MAN.

3.0(10,000 Yun.
It Is quite possible, said Profeaao A.
Keith In ? lecture to tba British as
sociation at Dundee, tbat mao aa we
know him now took on bla human
characteristics somewhere near the
beginning of the pliocene period, and
while the exact, date ta simply a guess
the best estimates available Indhate
1.4U8.000 R. C aa not far from the
truth. If the evidence of the flint
collectors la accepted as authentic,
pliocene man li a possibility.
Professor Keith was sure we had
traced ourselves back to the middle of
the pleistocene, when we were ac
<*om|>anted by another form of man
almost as distinct from ua as the
gorilla Is from the chimpanzee. At the
lieglniilng of the pleistocene there
were at least two varieties of man?
the pre neandert haloid of Heidelberg
and the small brained man of Java
hut the "representative of modern man
nt tbiit early nerlod" has not as yet
l>ecn fotimV
If the claims of M. Rntot are accept
ed. the antiquity of man Is at least
3,000.000 years. According to Professor
Keith, the ortlvidox (by which presum
ably be mcnnt scientifically orthodox)
opinion Is that "the dawn of the very
earliest form of humanity lie* 400.000
years behind ua." From all of which
it Is plain tbat the beginnings of the
age of man in< still shrouded In mys
tery.
"The Idea I wish to leave In your
minds Is," said l*rofewor Keith In
? oncluslon. "that In the distant past
there was not one kind, but a number
of very different kinds of men In ei
Istence. all of which have become ex
tiuct except that branch which has
given origin to modern man."? New

IT is a hard thing to "convince some people, who have acquired th*
* mail order habit thai it is to their advantage to trade at home. Th*
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send iheir money out of
.town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, n ?r any on*
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can -?> nobody
good but the person who has it and ha is hundreds ar th>-:#*ands of

THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interest* ofthe commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at th* sama^time argue against'mail ?rd*r husin?s?.
