TIE 1NcANpEscENT LAMP.


When too great current passes
through a conductor of small area and
high resistance an intense heat is gen.
Grated. This is the principle OF the in
caadscent lamp.
The problem to be solved was to OBJ

tude that could be heated without being
fused and destroyed. Platinum meltS
at ?, 900 degrees celcius-a low temper
ature In electric lighting. Carbon was
fonnd TO satisfy these conditions, and in
the incandescent lamp the current pass
es through carbonlzed filament, her
metically sealed in a glass globe from
which the air has been exhausted, and
connected by two platinum wires fused
in the stem Of the globe with the out
side wires. This flament is formed Of
various substances according TO the
make of the lamp. Two common forms
are carbonized bamboo cane and car
bombed cotton thread. The fiiament is
not burnt like the carbons of the arc

lamps the alternating current with low
pressure on the parallel systemis mostly
used, for the continuous circuit tends
to weaken the end it enters, first, by
by driving particles of carbon to the
other end, thus causing the filament to
break. Too strong current will also
destroy the filament. The life of a
good lamp supplied with a moderate,
steady current. is from 1000 to 1900
working hours. These lamps are per-
fectly safe to use; they do not consume
the air in q room; they have no
smell and give very little heat. II
they get broken the filament is con-
sumed and the light goes out. They
can be used near explosives and under
water. and are much more conven-
lent and ornamental than any other
kind OF light They are made all the
way from one to one hundred-candle
power, and much greater light can be
produced by an increase Of current, but
the life is shortened. One-horse power
will give about 130-candle power, but

work done, and then the resist
ance Of the conductor must also
be overcome, and this represents so
much loss. The larger the area OF the
cable, the smaller the resistance and
waste; on the other hand, the weight
and cost Of the conductor increases In
proportion to size, and limit Is soon
reached. Copper wire is usually en-
Dloyed to convey current, for 1t is the
best practical conductor known. 1t Is
very pliable, easily worked and jointed,
and does not rust readily. Silver ranks
a little higher, but its cost is prohioito-
~. II 1T is represented by 100, copper
stands at "a, while iron is only 16. This
last metal is six times cheaper than
copper, but as 1t has only one-sixth the
conducting power, thus requiring SIX
time as great a sectional area, and
Is Furthermore very inferior in dura-
bility, there Is considerable economy In
using copper. An insulating material
is put around the wire; for indoor work
by low pressure coating or braided
cotton sufices, but for outdoor work
and high pressure currents small ruo-
Der covering with two cotton coatlngs
Is used. Sometimes the cable is in
closed in a lead pipe. The conductor
must not be too thin or 1t will offer too
much resistance and will then be fused,
and in all electric lighting systems
there are, or ought to be, safety plugs
of some combination metal that VIII
melt and break the circuit before the
cable itself becomes too hot.
DISTRIBUTING THE CURRENT.
The current is distributed by two
systems-that OF the multiple arc, or
parallel, and that of the series. There
are notifications of both, but these two
only need be considered. In the first
system two cables run out from the dy-
namo, one for the outward, the other
for the return flow. Their ends are free
and the current must therefore return
by connecting branch wires, TO which
the lamps are attached. II the current
flowing into one wire comes back by
the other to the dynamo without doing
any work it is said 10 be short circuit
ed. and the machinery will be damaged
II the dynamo is kept going.
A low potential is mostly USED
for this system, and 1t is free from
danger to life or property. In the Sc
ries system the lamps are part OF con-
tinuous conductor, like ring, and as
the current loses more or less power as
it passes through more or less number
of lamps, a high potential current must
be used. 1t is much more economical,
but highly dangerous, and its use ne
cessitates special precautions. The
armature Of high-pressure dynamo is
formed of many turns of small wire,
that of the low-pressure has less, and
those have a larger diameter.

terday that William Glenn, a reporter for the
Chicago Tribune, sent from here to Carrollton
to investigate the killing of Postmaster
Mathews on Christmas day by Druggist

fined in Jail at Winona, Miss.
Carrollton Is away from the railroad some fifteen
miles and Glenn went there yesterday to look
up the facts Of the killing. He hired negro TO
drive him from Carrollton 70 Winona and sent
his story from the latter place. He was arrested
today charged with rt,riving the horse,
which died during the night.
The Tribune at once telegraphed to Gov.
Stone asking for Glenn the protection of the
law, II being feared his arrest and detention
were but part Of Q scheme to harm him for
having denounced Mcbride az . cold-blooded
murderer in the dispatch sent to Chicago.
Gov. Fifer was also telegraphed to and asked to
use his influence with the governor Of Missis-
sippi in securing fair play for Glenn.
President Fish Of the Illinois Central road
telegraphed the company attorneys at Winona
to take mp Glenn's case and procure bail for
him at the earliest possible moment Glenn's
dispatch TO the Tribune was rather severe upon

An Old Citizens Earnest Protest Against

sioners the presence Of those vile, obscene pic

down the wrath Of God, and l submit it's the
duty Of the Commissioners to vindicate the
honor Of Almighty God by issuing an order for
bidding such an immoral display. I have

all well enough for people to laugh and say
that these pictures have no immoral influences;
that the pure in heart can see no harm in them
and that it is only the evil ones who are affected
by them, but that's all bosh. Society people
are almost as bad in their dress, but they have

PARNELL'S BLACK EYES,

A Story Of the Irish Chancellor's Adventures
While at Cambridge.
From the New York Herald.
The 1.-TWO lovely black eyes, which Parnell
recently obtained at Kilkenny mus. remind the
Irish agitator of similar pair he wore as an
undergraduate at Cambridge.
A man who was at Magdalen College with
Parnell tells me that they were out on spree
together one night some twenty years ago
when they were overhauled by a don and
two bulldogs" In making his escape Par
nell knocked down one of the ''bulldogs' and
upset the don, but not before he had been
recognized.
Knowing the fate that awaited him when
called before the dean Parnell determined to
plead self-defese and claim that the "bull-
dog struck him first. To substantiate such
plea a black eye, or. better still, two black
eyes, must be presented as exhibits and B.
But how to got them?

So Parnell, seeing that nothing else would
answer, actually braced himself and let old
Ransom strike him such singing blow
between the eyes that in two hours time
the proofs positive of an assault were visible
and undeniablc, and he was triumphantly
acquitted.

Dillon Cables Him Not to Accept Parnell's
Proposals.
A telegram from Paris states that Mr.. Dillon
has cabled Mr.. O'Brien advising him not to ac-
cept the proposals Of Mr.. Parnell. involving
Mr.. O'Brien's acceptance Of the Irish leader
ship temporarily, under an understanding that
Mr.. Parnell should be the power behind the
throne and should soon return to the actual
leadership. Mr.. Dillon is said to have confined
himself to merely recording his opinion, with
out any urging, leaving Mr.. OBrien to act on
his judgment with as little outside interference
as possible. 1t is stated from the same quarter
that the only immediate practical outcome of
the conference has been that agreement is
reached whereby certain funds on deposit in
Paris may be used by representatives Of both
the factions for the good Of Ireland. Mr. Par
nell, it is further stated, has instructed Mr..
Harrington to draw at once on the fund under
this agreement.
refusing to permit the installation of Mayor
Horgan at the Catholic cathedral has worked
up the Parne!lite feeling to frenzy. not in Cork
alone, but in Limerick and Dublin. Timothy
Harrington denounces it as high outrage, not
upon Mayor Horgan alone, but upon the peo-
pie Of Cork, and as a virtual ukase on the part
of the clergy that they claim the unlimited
right Of dictation in Irish politics John O. Con-
nor. who is in charge of Parnells United Ire
land is equally outspoken, and hints that the
action of Bishop O'Callaghan will react with
decisive influence upon the enemies of Mr.
Parnell.
The English liberal Enionists, especially of
the working classes are giving open expression
of dissent from the position Of Mr.. Jos. Cham
berlain, that the alliance with the tories should
be maintained, irrespective of Irish home rule
as against what he calls anarchy and English
nihilism. In the large manufacturing towns
this view is especially repudiated, the voters of
the party claiming that, while they support the
integrity of the empire, they cannot pledge
themselves to any alliance with the tories that
goes beyond that.
