Mount St. Albans is some distance
from the city proper, but it overlooks
the capital, and from its site the many
public buildings, the domes of the cap-
itol and congressional library and the
Washington monument are plainly vis-
ible. Not far distant may be seen the
Potomac river, and beyond the famous
Arlington cemetery, while on the oth-
er hand is the beautiful Rock Creek
park, and beyond it the soldiers' home.
The situation, the surroundings and
a beautiful day combined to make the
scene inspiring, and the occasion, with
so many distinguished public men and
prelates of the church present, ten-
dered the ceremony impressive.

It is feared, however, that the pre-
cautions were taken too late. Herr
Barisch was ill for severs! days before
he saw a doctor, during which time he
lived with his wife and visited wine
shops. The wife, who has now de-

friends, rode in public omnibuses, and
came in contact with dozens of persons
at her husband's funeral.

Dr. Mueller was considered an au-

The lighthouse at Corunna, Spain, is
believed to be the oldest one now in
use. It was erected during the reign
of Trajan, and rebuilt in 1634.
It is claimed by some that the
Colossus of P~hodes was something cf
a lighthouse, having held a slgnal
lamp in its uplifted lands; this was
erected about 300 years B. C.
The finest lighthouse in the world
is the Cordouan tower, dt the mouth bf

years in course of erection. It Is
