It is a wrought-iron cage at the end of a spar which is held in place by a heavy cast-iron anchor.

You will see another presently, for there are thirteen between the river and the White City." "To warn vessels to keep off shoals ?" she asked.
"Yes," he said, and went on to explain how the electrical current was supplied, winding up with a promise to take her, and anyone else who wished to go, to the Electrical Building to gaze upon its wonders, and also for a ride in the electric launches.

"But," he added, "I think there is nothing you will enjoy more than the sight of the electric lights which you will get presently in the Peristyle and the Court of Honor." "Oh, I am very eager to see it all, papa!" she exclaimed.
"As we all are," said Lulu.
"Well, my dears, I think we can all go there at once and spend an hour or two; all but the little ones, who can be left in the care of their nurse." He turned enquiringly toward his wife and her mother as he spoke.
"Oh, yes," said Violet; "they will not be likely to wake, and Agnes will take good care of them." "I think we are all probably ready to accept your invitation with pleasure, captain," Elsie said.

"Surely none of us are fatigued--unless with lack of exercise." "No, surely not," remarked Mr.Dinsmore, "and I, as well as Grace, am eager to see the beauties of that much talked of Court of Honor." "I think we will find some other objects worthy of our attention before we reach even the Peristyle," remarked Captain Raymond.

"I am so glad you brought us in the yacht, captain," said Evelyn; "for we can start out at once to see the sights--not being in the least fatigued with our long journey." "And we have already a beautiful view of water and sky," remarked Grandma Elsie; "those sunset clouds are certainly lovelier than any work of man's hands." "Yes, mamma; and they are beautifully reflected in the water," said Violet.
"But such things can be seen at home," Rosie remarked in a sprightly tone, "and I propose to give my particular attention to such as are to be found only in this part of the world and at the present time." "What will there be worth looking at before we reach the Peristyle ?" asked Walter, apparently addressing his query to no one in particular.
It was Captain Raymond who replied, "I hope to be able to point out to you presently some exhibits worthy of your attention," he said.
"Oh, yes; the battleship _Illinois_ for one, I suppose." "Yes; she will come into sight presently and we will have an outside view of her.

Some day I hope to take all of you who may desire to go on board to have a look at her internal arrangements." "You may put my name into that list, captain," said Mr.Lilburn.
