made by grouping and re-grouping the short and long " dashes " of the Morse system, and the heliograph has applied the same principle to the flashes of the sun. On this principle it is hoped that finally every lighthouse in the kingdom will be ablo to spell out its name to benighted and bewildered seamen, instead of, as now, simply making " its mark." Scores of wrecks may thus be avoided. The " fog horns "or " siren " — v such names mingled ! " — are also to be sent to the new night-school, and, instead of the hoarse bellowings which are now their only utterance, are to be endowed with the gift of more or less articulate speech. These are Sir William Thompson's excellent proposals, and they have received the approval of the Trinity House. " Did you serve in the war, uncle ?" " No, sah ; I was a cowardly niggah. I was a Kentucky niggah. And what did I want to 'list for ?" " Were not the white men fiting for yo r" " Spose dey was. Dat was no sign why we should fight. Massa, did you ever see two dogs fightin' over a bone ?" " Well, what's that to do with your fighting?" "A heap, massa. Did you ever see the hone fight ?" The questioner left amid a general laugh. " My wife got mad — terrible mad — at me last night," said Eagbag. *' She threatened to leave me and sue for a divorce, and, by Jove, I was awfully scared, for I think she meant it. But I had presence ef mind. I said I hoped she would; begged, implored her to do so, and then she swore she'd cling to me till death, just to spite me. A woman is a durn curious crittor to manage, anyway."

Why (exclaims the London Daily Telegraph) should not lighthouses learn to spell out their own names ? Such is the latest idea of our scientific men, and the last word of the advanced educationists. Some distinctions there are at present, but too many of those " towers along the steep," which, in spite of the poet Campbell, Britannia does need, are furnished with fixed lights, and these have been more than cince confounded with the ordinary gleam from a seaport town, or even a village on the cliff. It might be thought that the glare of our beacons, with all their costly apparatus and multiplied reflectors, could never be mistaken for an ordinary lamp ; yet Professor Tyndall stated at the Society of Arts the other day that " in certain conditions of the atmosphere a candle in a lantern and the electric light were undistinguishable by mere appearance," so that Shakespeare's " How far that little candle throws his beams ! " had a scientific basis. It is now proposed that by a system of "group flashes" eVeiy lighthouse in the United Kingdbm should indicate its own identity. Telegraphists are aware how numerous are the combinations which may be
