Early Ship Lanterns
Valued by Collectors
One of the phases of the present
*ngue for collecting anything connect-
•ed with the old time ships is that of
■earnestly seeking their lanterns or
lamps, and very Interesting and decora
five, with the right surroundings, many
of them are.
Numerous lamps are traded as ship's
lanterns which never went to sea. says
’ apt. E. A. McCann in Uie Antiquarian,
New Tork. If, however. It is a good
looking lamp and the owner is pleased
with If, its history la t>erhapa not so
eery Important, hut tr one wishes to
ho sure of the right nautlral flavor,
some recattfltra Is necessary.
An intimate knowledge of ships and
♦heir ways la the best method of dis-
criminating; bnt as a general Index
If may he stated that, to circumvent
the uneasy motion of a vessel at sea,
every ship lamp Is built, either to
swing from s handle or ring, or to se-
curely fasten by the hark, or, occasion-
ally, by the base; within these limits
there are many typea.
The very earliest ship lanterns were
metal rages erected In some prominent
part of the ahlp, as a rule over the
stern, Into which some combustible,
such as tow and resin, could be Ignited
to give warning to another ship and
avert colllalon. This. In fact. Is the
•wily purpose, for exterior lights to this
<4*y. and they are carefully screened
wo as not to shine aboard, because any
light on the deck Is only a nuisance,
so far as navigation is concerned, and
even on the brillluntly lit modem
steamship It may he noticed that nil
llghta are screened from the bridge.
The frigates and ships of-the-line
which followed In the Seventeenth and
Eighteenth centuries hud very similar-
ly designed lanterns, only more elab-
orate In their ornamentation nnd care-
ful In construction.
Any of these are, however, almost
Impossible to obtain, and are more
suited to museums than to domestic
nse. Those vessels would also use
cabin, gun-deck and other hand-lan-
terns, which again are extremely rare*
though very desirable.

basis of equality with Germany, France

consistently rejected offers of foreign
companies to extend their air service
