Brighter Light for Liberty.

New York.—The torch of that Qoddesß of Liberty in New York harbor will henceforth throw a brighter light out over the waters. A new system of illumination has just been installed by tho war department in place of the old circle of 12 arc lights, whose combined power, though equal to 12,000 candles, failed to give the desired radiance. The new equipment will give a 40,000 candle power illumination.
