FLOCK SHOOTING.
Warfare Against the Helpless Carried on
In Modern Style.


A writer for the American Field tells
of a shot made from big gun (which
was fastened to the boat, as all big
guns are" and which was loaded with
2R pounds of shot. The shooter ap-
preached within shooting distance Of
a hole in the ice of the Potomac river,
gave a shout, and, as the ducks arose,
tired. Il do not remember" the ac-
count continues, "what number he got,
but he was shooting cripples for hours,
and he sold the result of his shot for
$500. What is more, "this shot NAV
seem wonderful to some, but many as
large shots have been made on the
Potomac with big guns"
Only few weeks ago this same writer
was wondering where the ducks had
gone. 1t is to this region of big shots
that President Cleveland goes, and
there he has blind before which his
ducks are lined up to be killed by
raking, sitting shots, if this writer Is
to be believed.
The big guns are the punt guns for
flock shooting, which are much in favor
with English shooters.

EDISON'S NEW LIGHT.
Something About the Develop
ments of Recent Weeks.
BY the Use of FIuorescent Substances the
Wizard Has Produced a Lamp That
Gives Out Little Heat But
r-.,,- brilliant Light, 81

Edison's new white light, which he
has called the fuorescent lamp, is
about ready for the market In form it
is similar to the incandescent lamp
now in use, but in principle it is vastly
different. There is glass globe from
which part of the air inside has been
extracted, but there is no absolute
vacuum. Unlike the electric lamp, the
whole globe glows with pure white
light of marvellous illuminating power.
This powerful light comes from a
metallic crystal known as "tungstate,"
which is q metal as heavy as gold. In
Germany it is known under the name
of tungsten" The Illuminating prop
erty, says the st. Louis Republic, is
due to peculiar attribute of the tlIng-
state crystal itself.
The fact that these crystals glow
when slightly rubbed was known to
the wizard of Menlo Park, and he set
to work to use that property in the in
terest of science. The crystals are
fused into a glass globe by heating
the glass until it is soft. 1t then absorbs
the tungstate crystals and holds them
firmly when it cools.
Mr.. Edison says that he could get the
best results when using the crystals
on the sides of the globe. Two wires
enter the globe at one end, but do not
meet. By means of an induction cur
rent generated in a faradic battery
the molecules of the wires are thrown
into motion and the impulse thus given
travels along the wires until it reaches
the ends inserted into the globe. This
molecular impulse is communicated to
the molecules of air in the globe. In
turn the air molecules are driven with
almost inconceivable rapidity against
the crystals of tungstate welded into
the inner walls of the glass. The i'm
pact causes the crystals to glow. The
glow caused by a single blow of these
air molecules is, of course, very slight,
but multiplied thousands of times and
the blows repeated continuously at an

Eve Changes Position.

1t is not generally known that the
young fat fish have an eye on each side
of the body, and that it is only in the
adult stage that the eyes are both on
one side. There has been much DIS
cussion among scientific men as to the
mode in which the change takes place,
but in the founder the eye has been
observed to travel over the ridge of the
head, while in some other fish it passes
directly through the soft tissue Of the
young fish to the othe.. side.

of force are an turneo IN one ulrecTlon,
They no longer run in all directions,
but are parallel to the long axis of the
wire. The wire is then ready to receive
current.
p One molecule communicates its move
ments TO another until the initial i'm
pulse given by the induced current
travels along the entire length of the
wire, and is caught up by the air MOLE
cules in the globe. 1t is the same as
If row of billiard balls are placed in Il
row. A blow is struck at one end of
the row and all the balls will remain
unmoved except the ball at the extreme
other end. The ball will be driven
away at a considerable rate of speed.
The force of the blow was received by
the first ball. communicated to the
next, and so on, until it shot the last ball
away from the rest. This is the process
that takes place in the globe and pro-
duces the light.
In explaining this process Edison de-
clared that he was himself surprised
when he found that the intense white
light given off by the tungstate was not
accompanied by a corresponding de-
gree of heat. The incandescent lamp
transforms 95 per cent. of the electrical
force into heat, and only five per cent.
dous loss from commercial point of
view. The new lamp is absolutely free
from heat. That was ascertained be-
yond peradventure with the most deli
cate Instruments. This establishes the
fact that nearly the whole force used
in the new lamp is employed in produc-
ing light. Edison does not explain the
why and wherefore; he simply accepts
il as fact.
The high amount of electricity re-
quired in the incandescent lamp to |
overcome the tremendous loss of cleo |
trical energy, and which is turned into
heat, is not needed here. This means |
IN astounding cheapness in lighting |
and consequent commercial gain. The |
new lamp will last as long as the globe
asts. 1t does not have to be refilled |
with expensive films, and it furnishes |
y
luced.
A two-candle new lamp gives out to
he eye almost twice the illuminating
Eject that two-candle incandescent |
amp does. This is explained on the
ground that the light is more pleasing
o the eye than the incandescent lamp.
t is a pure white light, the whitest
light known. The globe looks like
round glass and is all aglow. The
of the globe serves to in
ensify the light by detecting the flying
molecules of air from one crystal to an
,theE until the initial force is ex-
~.
There are fuorescent substances even ]
'etter than tungstate, but Edison is
lot yet prepared to make them known.
f his experiments are as successful
With those as they have been with tung-
tate there is no limit to the intensity
nd beauty of the light.

CHiLDREN'S BRAINS.
In Weight Girls Are Ahead at First, But
Boys Win In the End.

a curious difference in the increase
III brain weight of boys and girls is
noted by Prof. Donaldson, of the Chi
cago university, who has just written
a book on the Growth of the Brain
says the New York World. Boys and
girls start out equally in this respect.
and until they arrive at the age of 12
years the progress in this respect is
about equal, allowance, of course, be-
ing made for the difference in body
weight between the two sexes.
After IL the girl shoots ahead of the
boy and her brain grows more rapidly
until she reaches the age of Is, when
the brain growth practically stops,
whereas, in the case of boys, it con-
tinues to increase in weight until the
age of 25. These statistics may con-
tain some hints for the "new woman"
in the development of her theories.
In the opinion of DR.. Donaldson,
brain weight is not, however, any true
measure of education or of intelligence.
and he attaches no Importance to the
frequently-cited brain weights of emil
nent persons. 1t is. nevertheless, fact
that the brains of more intellectual
people, relatively to their body weight,
are heavier than those of less intellect
ual people.

lace: Marie Marshall in a severely SIM
pie gown of white silk, Miss Fechet in
a white organdie. The hall was
trimmed with flags and set with divans.
Everybody was talking about the mu-
sic Miss Willoughby was at her best,
the waltzes were new and the time was
perfect. The people nearly danced
their feet of Mr.. Duff from Nebraska
City was there and Harry Frank Of
Omaha, whom the girls seem to like ex-

Wheeler did not come. An Omaha girl
said last week that IL was very difficult
for Burt to leave Omaha.

Ladies' Afternoon Whist club on We'd
nesday afternoon. In the evening she
had an informal card party.

guests. On Thursday evening Mrs.
L. c. Burr gave a dinner Of which Mr..
and Mrs. Thompson and guests were
members. Mrs. Thompson expects to
welcome Miss Ruth Hudson of Cairo,
H., this friday afternoon. This
same young lady was expected some
months ago, at which time / heard
Mrs. Thompson say that Miss Hud-
son was one of the most charming
girls she ever knew. Mrs. Thompson
cannot be accused of gushing and
when / heard her say that i decided
that Miss Hudson must be remarkable.

lady from Denveh to visit her soon.

girls with the visiting habit They
are dined. driven and surfeited with
all forms of amusements. But the
young men in their hospitable efforts
never neglects the home girls. In
some places the young men lose their
heads II a new girl arrives.
