Great Electric Beam to be Thrown on
the Clouds to Warn Mariners.
Diamond Shoal Lightship No. 71
left Baltimore Tuesday afternoon
for her station on Diamond Shoals,
off the North Carolina coast, equip
ped with a new electric search
ight that is to send a pillar of
white light from the vessel's bow
o the skies. A blinding beam of
electric light thirteen inches wide
will give warning to ships of the
dangerous shoals off Cape Hat-
eras. The ship's regular beacon
ights are visible eighteen miles at
sea, but they look like tallow dips
in comparison with the 3.000
candle power searchlight
The electricity' is generated
aboard ship. The searchlight is
not pointed upward, as the waste
carbon would drop into the re
flector, but it rests horizontally
while a mirrow is placed at an angle
of forty-five degrees to jbhrow the
light upward. This will be the
first light of its kind ever placed
at sea as a mariner's beacon, and
it is expected it, will be visible
forty miles off shore.
Demonstration of success of the
new system will probably result
in its extension to Fire Island.
Sandy Hook, Nantucket Shoals
and other light stations , equipped
with electrical apparatus.
. The chief element in the 'prom
ised effectiveness of the search
light lies in the fact that the light
vessel, is never at rest and the
beam will sway in a varying angle.
Among other -light and luminous
effects, from whatever cause, it will
always be distinguishable. Low
lying clouds will also be illumi
nated. ; '
