...prices ranging from $652 to $4,100. Expected to be a notable exception is Atlantic City's 82-year-old Absecon Lighthouse, also up for sale last week with bidding to close Jan. 5. After erosion had left the 167-ft. tower a perilous 75 ft. from shore, jetties were built, the sea restored its sand, the city sprawled out over the new land. Now Absecon stands 1,500 ft. from shore, its ocean view blocked by tall apartment houses and hotels. Its 1½acres which cost $520 in 1854 are now appraised at $312,450; with tower...

Such an arrange ment enables the cable-carried waves to be fortified by amplifiers at intervals along the route...
There were no cold dead fish in the bottom of his returning boat when Franklin Roosevelt on his voyage southward paused at Trinidad to try a little off-shore trolling. Nor was there anything cold and dead about the streets of Rio de Janeiro last week when he set foot upon Brazilian soil. Upwards of 150,000 Brazilians vented few cheers, but clapped their hands in delight at the sight of the President of the U. S. and their own President Getulio Dornellas Vargas appearing so democratically, side by side in ordinary business suits, as they rode through the city...
Magallenes (Punta Arenas) is on the north shore of the Straits of Magellan in the lee of the Andes Mountains just before they march down into the Antarctic Ocean. A modern city of 25,000 people, mostly European, Magallenes is protected by the mountains from the terrific Patagonian winds, has a golf course, race track, football field. Chief industries are sheep raising, coal mining. Approximately as far south of the Equator as Cartwright, Labrador is north of it, Magallenes is now at the beginning of summer, only time the new airline will be able to function. Operated by Linea Airea...
