Lighthouses' for China

London, Nov. 30.

Optical apparatus connected with two lighthouses to the order of the Chinese Maritime Customs have been lighted up and set working at Buckingham, prior to their dismantlement for despatch to the Far East.

One light is for Dodd Island, Amoy; it will be 147 feet above sea-level, and visible for twenty-two miles. The other is for the Shantung Promontory; it will be 920 feet above sea-level, and_ visible for twenty-five miles. The lights are automatically extinguished at daylight.—Reuter.
