Darkness That Makes Light.
A new type of lantern for light-
houses has been perfected.
The light is started automatically at
night time or in foggy weather, switch-
ing itself off when it is no longer need-
ed. The invention will enable us to
set up many more lighthouses for the
guidance of seamen, The old type of
lighthouse is a very expensive affair,
for at least two people must be kept
upon it constantly ,and boats must be
sent out at frenuent intervals with
food and stores -
There are places so blameable at
some seasons of the year that it has
been out of the question to erect man -
controlled lighthouses there. The
new automatic lantern will work un-
tended for months on end.
How does it work? Well, it is real-
ly quite simple. Large quantities of
gas are stored under` enormous pres-
sure in steel cylinders, which are con-
nected by pipes with. the burner of
the lantern.
There are certain substances which
expand when light falls upon them,
and contract when they are in dark -
nese. A lever controlling the valve
of the lantern's burner 1s connected
with a rod made of one of these sensi-
tive substances, So long as it is light
the rod is expanded, and the valve
which allows gas to pass from the con-
tainers to the burner is closed. But
as soon as darkness sets In the rod
contracts. As it docs so it pulls on
the lever, the valve opens, and the gas
is ignited by an automatic lighter.
