Very Many Incandescent Lights That A Arc
 Real Wonders
 Electric lamps arc made of all sizes, from loo candlo power and over down to onc-half candle but tho small ones aro decidedly tho most interesting and picturesque. At largo factory there is special department devoted to decora- tive and miniature lamps of all shapes and ColOrs, curious and beautiful. There are ''candelabra" lamps, much used for lighting private residences, and which are generally ten candle power. Some of them are pear shaped, while others are long and tapering and of all extreme ly graceful form. They arc often fitted to receptacles concealed in imitation candles, and while they have all the warmth and elegance of the old fashion ed Wax tapers they give a far steadier and brighter light. One of the most striking styles is tho ''f1amo' lamp, which is a narrow cone of glass, twisted spirally and frosted. It has the beauties of brightly burning flame, with none of the drawbacks.
 There is the eight candle power 'kinetoscope" lamp, which Eliminates the photographs on the rapidly moving Celluloid strip in Edison's remarkable picture gallery. A one candle power lamp is used for night work in tele- phone exchanges. One is placed in each | panel of the switchboard and lights up whenever a call comes to its territory and stays lighted until the call is an- swered, so that one or two operators can easily manage all the night business wherever 1t is not very heavy.
 Many varieties of lamps arc arranged to take their current from batteries. Among these is the ono candle power miners lamp, of flat shape, with metal loops at top and bottom, so that it can be hooked upon springs in the miners lantern and held steady. The lamp and the battery together are not heavy. Then there are bicycle lamps, microscope lamps, and lamy.s for medical l and dental work Some of the lamps @1@-sed for Illuminating the interior of the mouth, throat and nose are extremely small, generally cylindrical i'll shape, quarter inch or less in diameter and from half an inch to an inch long. But the tiniest of all is the ''pea' lamp, a glass sphere one quarter of an inch il diameter. $ Magazine.

AFTER FORTY YEARS.

Conductor Beers Notes Some of the
 Great Changes i'm the Brooklyn Dis
 trict.
 Conductor Beers of the Derby road paid visit to friends in this city Saturday and. made A flying trip to the Brooklyn district He, was astonIshed at the growth of the place since he had last seen it twenty years ago. Mir Beers was born on John street and remembers when there were not over dozen houses west of the Bank street bridge. "I remember" he said, pointing to the Bank street school building. "wllen the land where that school stands was nice pasture lot. At that time the place where that magnificent Cathollc church and rec. tory is built was big sand lot and beside it was a big pool of water with giant maple tree standing in the middle of it We used to call it ''Maple Hollow," and many a pleasant day I spent skating around that big tree. A man named Volmer owned the brewery in those days, but of course it was not anything like what it is now. We used to have A base ball club. and many an exciting game was played on the site of Holmes, Booth < Haydens factory. At that time all there was of the factory stood on the west side of the Naugatuck railroad. Where Plume & Atwood's and the shops on the other side of the street stand was an old swamp and think you could have bought the whole territory for $2OO. But was not there lively crowd in Jackson street at that.time, added Mir Beers, scratch ing his head as though he could still feel the smart of the rocks that had struck him from that direction in the time of his boy hood. "Whenever 8 crowd of us used to pass there we were sure to be greeted with rally of stones Weused to cross the river by the aid of plank and as soon as we reached the opposite side then the fun commenced. Stones rained across the river from both sides and many of the crowd carry marks of the conflict on their scalps to this day." sIr Beers is stout. good natured looking man and as he turned from the scenes of his youth he remarked sympathetically: Well it IS surprising how this place has changed. wonder what has been the lot of the boys and girls l used to know here forty years ago."

The Question Of Free Ships.

The esteemed New York Sun objects
to free ships, because the ship builders
say that such a policy would injare
their business. and they ..are the best
authority on that point Colonel Bill
Cook no doubt thinks that officers OF
of the law are an abomination, and by
the same rule of reasoning he ought TO
be the ..best authority on that point.
But there is a suspicion among the peo-
pie generally that the ship builders
and Colonel Bill Cook are not the
right persons to determine those ques-
tions.
With the best machinery in the wide
world, the finest timber that ever grew,
the cheapest iron and steel on earth
and mechanics of surprising intelli-
gence, industry and skill as compared
with those of any people, the Ameri-
can ship builders can successfully com
pete with the world if they want to.
But so long as they can rob the public
by the conditions that restrain the
coast trade. they are anxious to do So
They are in the enjoyment OF what
might be called pudding" and there
are only few instances of unselhsh-
ness equal to giving up such advanta-
ges.
Under existing conditions Americans
may purchase foreign built ships and
sail them under foreign flags in tie
trans Atlantic trade. But the coasters
must be American built, and the Amer
lean builders may fix any price they
like for them. This fact curtal.s the
competition in the coasting trade and
puts a heavy tax on those who rely on
that medium of freighting. The soon
er it is stopped the better, and the
ship builders are not the proper per
sons to consult. KANSAS City Times.

What the FasiidiOus Woman Trav.
cler Takes ON Her Journeys.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The over-fastidious woman Is likely to
be miserable in travelling by failing to ad-
Just herself to the meager accommodations
that the sleeping car affords. On the aver
age sleeping car there is small space in the
miserably contracted crib set apart as a
ladies' dressing room for the use of sponge.
flesh brush, bath rag and cut-glass toilet
bottles OF perfumery, cosmetics aud aro-
matte waters. The happy traveller Is the
woman with the practical common sense
to know that a sleeping car is not the
place for sponge bath in the morning
She remembers that there are others wait
ing to use the room, and she makes as
quick toilet as possible, so that they may
not have to wait unduly. One small bottle
will hold all that is needed by the most re-
fined woman-this contains a mixture of
the following ingredients: One-half ounce
OF benZoin, one-half ounce of ammonia,
one-half ounce of aromatic vinegar. one
quarter ounce of borax. Use little of this
to soften the hard water in the toilet
room, and the refreshment that follows
may easily persuade the practical woman
that her toilet is perfect. The powder box
she sensibly leaves at home or in her
trunk. without, however, dispensing with
the SOotnlnS property OF the bath powder.
By filling the puff with powder and cover
ing 1t with an old handkerchief, she has
all she needs to dust under the arms and
about the neck. Lemons are easily car
ried, and a little of their juice in the drink
ing water will be a wise preeaution. A few
drops in water used to brush the teeth
will also be found refreshing One mani
cure implement is indispensable-a pointed
file. Requisites easy to carry are button
hook, pin ball. needles and thread small
pair of scissors, a rubber comb and plain,
wood back brush. There is little satisfac-
tion in carrying silver toilet articles. A
small hand mirror for travellers las
wooden back and wooden slide that closes
over the glass, making breakage impos-
sible.
The woman who enjoys her trip must
give due thought to her clothing. That
there Is subtle connection between a con-
tented mind ard a becoming dress is not
denied by the psychologist. ana the fair
traveller wisely dresses we'll and as be-
comingly as possible. A new suit of ALL
wool goods, quiet in design and color. the
perfection and refinement OF fit. stylish
turban trimmed with ribbon velvet loops
and Quills (but never flower or feathcr):
loose comfortable shoes and gloves. will do
much to make her journey enjoyable. As
there is little chance for exercise, reduc-
tion of the food supply win be wise. and
two meals day will be found sufficient.
