The French Lens Which Throws Elecerlc Rays 100 Miles Seaward to be Used. Barnegat lighthouse, on the extreme eastern coast of the Jersey shore, will soon flash the most powerful light dis- played anywhere on the American coast, and at once places this station among the leading in the lighthouse service of the world. Mariners have always regarded it as the most impor- tant point to be well lighted south of Fire Island, as the majority of the commerce bound up and down the coast invariably pick up the light go- ing either way. It is now one of the first-class lights of the country. and- shows a white light that can be seen twenty—two miles out at sea in ordi- nary weather. T'he lighthouse service has now determined to remove this light and substitute the most powerful lens ever constructed, and designed to gather up the electric rays and throw them seaward a distance of at least one hundred miles. These rays will strike the horizon at the same point where those of the oil lamp meet now, and here they will reflect on the skies, and ships one hundred miles. at sea passing the point should easily make out the flashes and estimate accurately their exact distance from the shore. This new lens has been the property of the lighthouse 'service since the World’s Fair, when it was displayed by the French Government as part of its exhibit. At the end of the Fair the United States purchased it for $10,000, and has since been arranging for its use in one of the first-class lighthouses on the Atlantic coast. Two years ago the board directed that it be placed in the Fire Island lighthouse, as this sta- tion was then regarded the most valua- ble to commerce .on the coast. An elec- tric plant was established, but later there came a demand for a light ves- sel six miles south of the light, and this having been placed in position. the board has decided that the big French lens should go to Barnegat, where it is to be placed early this summer. The new- light vessel building for Fire Island is to. be fitted also with power- ful electric lights, and eventually all the first-class light stations, like the Highlands light and those at the Capes of Virginia and off Hatteras, will have electricity substituted for oil as an il- luminant. The electric light is ten times as powerful, and being reflected on the skies from the point where it meets the water, should be easily dis- cernible treble the distance the oil lights show. The lighthouse officers tell of the ease with which the Nee-- dies lights are seen flashing in the Bay of Biscay over 100 miles away, and predict that within a year Barnegat and other important stations will dis-- play the most powerful lights in any lighthouses of the world. COOPER INTEGRITY. It is of the Sterling Kind as is Evinced by . Actual Tests. . The unveiling of the statue of Peter Cooper in New York was accompanied by the announcement that Julia Coop- er, n-iece of the philanthropist, had be- queathed $200,000 to Cooper Union. Of this amount only $100,000 was actually named in her will, but her brother and heir found another $100,000 written by a pencil on the margin, and while in no way legally bound by this, he recog- nized her wish that the bequest should be doubled, and so the Union is $200,- 000 richer. Ex-Mayor Hewitt tells an interesting anecdote of the death of _ Peter Cooper. Literally his last con- scious act was to indicate to'his son, that $200,000 more should be given 'to the institution he had founded, and this request his son faithfully carried out. It has been fourteen years since Peter Cooper died, but his name is as well known and honored now as ever. It is probable, in fact, that his fame will grow with the growth of New York. It is of interest to know that his statue, an excellent work of art by a leading sculptor, was paid for by contributions made chiefly by persons of moderate means. It stands appropri- ately at the head of the Bowery, in front of COOper Union. A Great Idea. Enterprising Publisher—We are in- creasing our circulation at the rate of a thousand papers daily. . Second Ditto—But how in time do you manage it? Enterprising Publisher. Easy enough. I have a man at each of'the: hotels where my paper is on file to' clip out several items here and there. This makes every man who takes up the pa- per crazy to know what those items were, and he sends out for a copy of the paper. A great idea, I tell you.— Boston Transcript. He Changed His Mind. A man went to a local boxing in- structor the other day and asked him how much he would charge him for m'euty-five lessons. The instructor 101d him his terms, and the lessons commenced. After two lessons the pupil, who was somewhat the worse for wear, remarked to the professor: "You see, I wanted to take enough lessons so that I could learn enough about the manly art to lick a man. I’ve changed my mind now. I guess I will send the fellow down to take the rest of the lessons.”——Rochester Dem- ocrat and Chronicle. The French Prize to: Virtue.

IIITIIA LIFE fllllI CONNECTICUT MUTUAL. HE comparative merits of the so-called “purely mutual” system of manage6 ment for life insurance companies and of stock management are clearly shown by the following comparisons. We have selected the largest proxy-mutual campany in the New England States (the Connec- ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the ZETNA LIFE, the largest com- pany with stock management. . The Connecticut Mutual, by its annual statement filed with the Insurance - Commissioner of this State, January 1, 1897, shows that it has $525,093.79 more than its entire surplus, invested in real estate. (It increased its holdings of real estate in 1896, $1,108,702.75). Its taxes repairs and expenses on real estate in 1896 amounted to $298,675.90, or $42.91I.31 more than its eu tire income from that ’ source, hence it appears from the sworn statement of that company that no in- come was realized from its surplus, nor from the $525,093.79 (the excess of real estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as 'shOwn above. $42,911.31. ' . ‘ ' . Of the ETNA LIFE’S surplus ($6,711,502. 25), it had on the first of January last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amount- ing to $486,348.25, leaving of its surplus to be otherwise invested $6,225,154.00. Its net income from real estate amounted to $8,150.82. Its surplus not invested in real estate earned in 1896 5 1-10 per cent, or $317,482.85, to which add its in- come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone. The Connecticut Mutual, on the other hand, instead of earning anything on this part of its assets, shows. a loss, as above stated, of $42.9Il.3l. ' These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular, as the ZETN A LIFE, it would have gained in the year 1896, over its present ex- perience, $469,138,25. ) : $10,000—TEN-15AYMENT LIFE PLAN—AGE 57.
