Cheering Lights That Warn and
Guide the Mariner.
A BLAZE OF KEROSENE OIL
The Wonderful Lamps and Lenses
That Produce the Brilliant and Far
reaching Flame—Why Electricity le
Not Used In Lighthouses.
The goal toward which the light
house board of this country is striving
Is a continuous chain of lights com
pletely encircling the United States
and possessions and in the case of riv
ers and inland seas bounding the wa
ters on all sides, so that a ship may
never leave the area of a light thrown
by one lighthouse before entering the
circle of the light of another. As fast
as congress will appropriate the money
the gaps are being tilled.
But whut makes the light? When
the curious inquirer is told “kerosene”
he naturally wouders why his own
student lamp does not give a better
light if the same oil in the lighthouse
sends Its beam from five to twenty-five
miles.
v arlous methods of lighting were in
use until 1840, when a new system
was Introduced of employing nearly
true paraboloid reflectors and better
glass lenses. In some cases these re
flectors gave a light which Is not sur
passed even today except when han
dled with Intelligent care. In 1852,
when the present lighthouse board was
Instituted, the Fresnal system of len
ticular glasses was introduced from
France and still remains. The first
cost is great, but by the saving of oil
over the reflector system this is soon
reduced. With any reasonable care a
fine light always results, and it is Im
possible for a keeper to maintain a
poor light with this apparatus without
flagrant disobedience of instructions.
Even with such an apparatus no
common lamp can supply the light.
First order lamps have five wicks, one
inside the other, and are fed with oil
by a pump and pipe system. The oil
is fed to the wicks so that it reaches
the ends where the flame is in the
right time and In the right quantity.
It is difficult to look at it, so intense
is the light. In the lenses rather than
in the lamp is the secret, for they pick
up and utilize nearly all the rays of
light which ordinarily go astray. The
Fresnel apparatus collects almost all
of this waste light and reflects and
refracts it out in one great broad
beam of light, parallel to the surface
of the sea, where it is needed.
The flames which come from the
lamps are largely transparent. So, of
course, are all other similar flames. If
flames were not transparent there
could be no advantage in having one
flame inside another and a third Inside
the first two, etc. The lights from
the inner flames could not get out and
would do no good.
In some lighthouses, usually for
range light purposes, the light is all
to be concentrated in one beam. This
Is done by concentric rings of prisms
and a central bullseye and a reflector.
Vessels getting such a light in range,
either by itself or with another light
and running down the beam, are safe
from obstructions which may be near
by, the range lights or beams of light
marking out the channel to be fol
lowed.
It is frequently asked of light keep
ers why electricity is not used in
place of mineral oil. An electric light
is expensive to install and difficult and
expensive to maintain. There is al
ways difficulty in keeping the arc ex
actly in the focal point of the lenses,
the carbons never burning twice alike
and constant watching being neces
sary. Failure to have the light source
exactly in the focal point of the lens
results in sending the light rays up or
down instead of straight out, where
they are wanted. Electricity, while
superior in penetrative power in a
fog, has no advantage over a power
ful oil lantern In clear weather. Min
eral oil, colza oil or lard oil lights of
the first order could be seen a hun
dred miles were it not for the curva
ture of the earth, and as long as the
light is visible long before the coast
is all purposes are served.
It is only within recent years that
mineral oil has been in use. Lard oil
succeeded colza oil and was used ex
clusively up to 1880 and with mineral
oil up to 1889. Since the latter year
mineral oil has been used entirely, ex
cept where electricity has been experi
mented with, or coal or acetylene gas.
So far coal oil, for power, efficiency,
cleanliness, ease of operation and
cheapness, holds its own against all
other means of light making.
Electricity, if it can be successfully
Installed, is the best light, but through
expense of maintenance and in the in
ability to get skilled attendants for
such a light for the price set on keep
ers’ services it makes slow headway.
The traveler who cruises up the
coasts and who sinks one light before
picking up another must know that
somewhere in the dark circle, is a spot
picked for the foundation of a light
which will be erected as soon as funds
end time allow.—Scientific American.
