The manner of lighting tho French Pass, proposed by the Marino Department, is to erect the lighthouse upon tho mainland directly opposite the beacon. To vessels approaching the Pass from either direction it will show red, bnt will project a brilliant white beam directly across the narrow part of the channel. This beam will fall on a powerful double reflector placed on the opposite side, where tho beacon now stands, and sot at suitable angles. The re Hooter will catch the beam and throw it in both directions, so that it will appear to approaching vessels a bright white light on the side or the passage opposite to the red light.
