bility Of the incant1eseent lamp to
start fires. This important question
was brought before the last convention
Of fire engineers at Montreal by Chief
Lindsay, Of the st. Louis fire depart
ment. who. in speaking Of electricity
as factor in causing fires, said it
had been doubted that ignition could
be caused BY contact Of any material
with the incandescent lamp, but the
matter had been set at rest by the re-
port Of the supervisor Of city lighting
on the result Of fourteen experiments
to determine under what conditions
the incandescent bulb may prove to
be source of danger. A lamp was
allowed to rest in vertical position
against piece Of white pine; after
four hours spot one inch in diameter
was discolored to light brown. Var
n's.led oak, well seasoned, became
blacSened In fifteen minutes, its var
n!sh being blistered in thr.e minutes.
The wood had the appearance of being
charred ut and near the point Of con-
tact. but was not ignited. Dry white
pine hoard began to smoke in forty
minutes. but unfortunately for this
most important test the lamp film
burned out at the end Of that time,
and the experiment was not renewed.
A lamp which had been encasad In two
thicknesses of muslin began to scorch
in one minute, gave of considerable
smoke at three minutes and burst into
flame at the end Of six minutes. A
newspaper, on which a lighted incan-
descent lamp had been placed, was
carbonised In three minutes and set on
fire In forty-hve minutes. Sixteen can
dle-power lamps Of normal voltage
were used.

Considerable talk is being INDUCED
in ON the subject Of The "crop liar"
meaning that class Of people who ex-
aggerate Yields, Or talk aLout smut or
frost when there isn't any. The cri-
ticlsln is, that such reports affect the
price Or grade Of wheat. While this
Is true to some extent, perhaps, We
make the other criticism, that the
other kind OF crop liar who belittles
the crop, or says there is no smut or
frost when there is such damage, gets
no advantage. The fact remains that
the men who make the prices of the
wheat have certain and sure methods
of ascertaining the condition Of the
wheat as it grows and know its con.
dition when it is being marketed.
Every elevator agent in the country
makes his daily and weekly reports to
headquarters. the railroad agents also
report, government agents In the
agricultural department., or signal
service, report, paid experts travel
over the country and make personal
inspection, travelling men for whole.
sale houses are OH the lookout, and in
the face Of all these the "crop liar"
cannot do much to bull or bear the
price Of wheat. The best thing for
the local papers to do when they talk
about crops, is to find out the exact
truth, and not exaggerate or dimin.
ish the yield or conditions; but just
the same, the price OF wheat is made
by men, who pay but little attention
to what local papers or farmers say.

THOSE COURT VOUCHERS,

In its last issue the PIONEER Ex-
PRESS publishes an editorial of = col
umn and half regarding court cx-
pcnses. The article proves that our
terms of court are expensive and that
some men have more elastic con-
sciences than others. The EMPRESS
, does not charge any2ne with wrong,
but rather insinuatcs that the sheriff
and states attorney could exercise
more care In allowing bills. One
thing the article demonstrates To q
certainty is that Pembina is an .ex-
pensive location for the county seat
and that the mileage bills, even rcnd-
er an honest effort to ccunOmis.'. are
entirely out of proportion and calls
forth the comment that the cnunty
seat should be more accessible. The
Times is for moving the seat Of cuun.
ty government to Il more ccntrli point
and thus correct Il part OF the abuse
complained of by the EXPREss.-St.
Thomas Times.
The above is the only editorial COM
ment made by the county papers, That
we have seen Oh the subject of court
vouchers" as given in this paper three
weeks since. The profound silence
Of the rest of the papers is almost as
stunning as the conclusions of the
Times. The remedy Of the Times
seems to be, ir the county seat we're
removed sit would correct Il part Of
the abuses" that is to say, the Times
would move the county seat, first, be.
cause it believes the people in the
northwestern part OF the county are
houest, and would not double or add
to mileage and per diem IL they were
compelled to attend court at Cavalier;
and second, that the dishonest people
in the western and southern part of
the county would not have 50 much
mileage to double. All whichis more
complimentary to the people ut this
vicinity than is usual With the Times.
Asa matter OF fact the present or
future location OF the county seat
has nothing whatever IT. do with the
questions under discussion. The peo-
pie Of the county decided last fall, at.
ter full and free discussion OF the
whole matter, that they would not
move the county seat for the present.
The questions before lis just now are,
can man legally draw pay fors juror,
witness, bailitf and sheriff fe.s at
one and the same time, concurrent, or
for any two more Of them. Can a
man draw mileage for more miles
than actuallyand necessarily travell-
ed? fla man is allowed mileage by
way OF Grafton, why not by way of
Morris, Manitoba, or Grand Forks and
Crookston? Aud the question, which
the PIONEER EXPRESS raised is this,
it is not possible to devise a system of
checking by which these abuses may
be corrected? Mt one OF "these
abuses" would be corrected by the re.
mOyal Of the COUNTY scat. We believe
that the simple publication of the
bills rendered BY Lile parties would do
much 10 Correct these abuses and we
also believe that il some one man

tendants at court. things would be
more likely to come out even aud fair.

The Antartio is a region Of eternal

cause they have all the charms Of the
unknown. It is believed that only q

Who can say that deep within those
awful solitudes may not be revealed
the mystery of the life Of the fur seal

made BY basting cards Of varying

rings are formed BY winding cord

holding them to ring form by stitch
or two, and then basting them into
place. All cords are closely button
holed with fine linen thread, only used
for this purpose, and by catching the
designs together with slender, hard
twisted cords. Sometimes the whole
design is in closely buttonholed stitch,
