MICHIGAN BANK SUSPENDs.
The Peoples of Lansing Unable to
Stand the Present Strain,

LANSING, Mich, July 10, 1S96.-Tae
Peoples Saving Bank did not open It's
doors this morning. The bank has been
on the ragged edge for some time, but
up to Saturday it was believed its din
culties could be tided over. Runors be-
came rife Saturday afternoon about clos
ing, that the bank was unsound and a
slight run was perceptible The directors
voluntarily sent for Commissioner Sher-
wood and the agreement was reached that
the Michigan Trust Company should be
appointed receiver
The bank had a capital of sl50oO0. It's
failure is due to the impossbbility to real
ize on its assets owing to the stringeney
of the money market and the gradual
drawal of deposits left the bank in such
a crippled condition it could not con-
unue business. None of the other local
banks are involved in the Peoples Bank
misfortune. and its closing has caused but
little excitement

The new light or 'huOrescent lamp"
as Edison has named it, is somewhat
similar to the incandescent lamp now

feet a vacuum as in the incandescent

whole globe CLOVIS with a pure white
light of marvellous illuminating power.
The light comes from a metallic crys-
tai known as tungstate. THE slight
est rubbing of these crystals will make
them glow, said Mr. Edison.
II have succeeded in fusfng these
crystals into the inside of a glass globe
by heating the glass until it is soft
enough to receive the tungstate crystal
which it holds firmly when it cools.
Two wires enter ten globe at one end
but do not meet. BY means of an in
duction current generated in a faradic
battery the molecules Of the wires are
thrown into motion and the impulse
til it reaches the ends inserted into the
globe. This molecule impulse is com
municated to the molecules of air
within the globe. These air molecules
are driven with almost inconceivabIe
