vacuum light is frequently called "coid'
light. The temperature of the gas in
these tubes seldom exceeds 100 degrees
centigrade, while the temperature Of
some solids must be as high as $4,000
degrees centigrade in order to produce
white light
The Importance of this can hardly be
overestimated in lighting interiors such
as churches, where a great many peo-
pie gather. The tube lights will keep
the atmosphere Of churches much cooler
than any other light besides much more
healthful.

Il LESSON, iFIT1s NEEDED.

1t really does seem that the Column
bian United States do not need to try
an experiment that has been tried and
has failed in the Colombian United
States. The South American plan was
to- make the paper money "redeemable
in gold or in silver at the option of the
government That is one Of the fun
damental notions of the free silver peo-
pie who framed the Chicago platform.
What happened? All the gold left the
country because it would pay more
debts abroad than silver and no more
at home, and the silver money at once
dropped to its market bullion value, or
thereabouts. What next? Wages rose
fifty per cent, but the prices of the me-
cessities of life went UP two hundred
per cent. The experience was much
the same as that of our own United
States during the war when prices
went up vastly faster and farther than
wages.
The North Americans ought to be
able to learn from the South Americans
in this matter, if they need to learn.
But they are supposed to know so much
more than the South Americans do
that they ought not to need such In
struction.

ABTIFfoYAL SUNLIGHT.
Vacuum Tubes Will Revoiutionize the
Lighting of Churches.


Lighting of Churches.
From tho New York World.
The churches and cathedrals of the
future will be lighted as they have
never been before. People nave had to
content themselves for centuries with
worshipping in inadequately lighted
churches. The invention of the new
vacuum tubes is destined to revolution
ize the lighting of such interiors.
The architects of all the greatest
churches in the world have been obliged
to make the best use they could Of
candles, lamps or gas, which at best
gave out a reddish glare and cast deep
shadows. The use even of the ordinary
electric light produces a brilliant ell
feet, but it does not as q rule harmon
ize with church interiors.
The new light is very soft and clear
and is capable of producing great
many different effects. By using small
tubes and running them along the edges
of the arches or pillars very even and
subdued light may be produced
throughout an immense interior
The tubes have the additional advan-
tage of not casting the slightest shad-
ow. This subdued light will not neees-
sarily be at all gloomy or somber.
The new light is noted for the quality
known as its range of legibility. Con-
gregations in the churches of the future
which are lighted in this way will have
no trouble to find the right page in the
hymn books. The light from vacuum
tubes is almost the counterpart OF ideal
daylight.
One of the most important advan-
tages of the new light is that it gives
out very little heat. The contrast in
this respect between it and the ordi-
nary forms of light is so great that the

A WOND EisFUL WEDDING.
Ten Thousand Couples Were United in
Marriage at One Time.

Ten Thousand Couples Were United in
Marriage at One Time.
{From the Cincinnati Tribune.}
The largest and most remarkable
wedding since the world began took
place at Susa. When the great Alex
ander had conquered Persia, wishing
to unite victors and vanquished by the
strongest ties possible, he decreed a
wedding festival. Now guess how
many people he ordered to be married.
You could never do it. Well, Alexan-
der himself was to marry Etatira, tho
daughter Of Darius; one hundred of his
chief officers were to be united to la
dies from the noblest Persian and Me-
dean families, and ten thousand of his
Greek soldiers were to marry ten thou
sand Asiatic women--20,2 02 people mar
ried at once.
+ don't see how they managed to get
UP feast for SO many, but they did,
and for vast multitude of guests be-
sides. They had the most splendid ar
engagements. On plain near the city
vast pavilion was erected on pillars
sixty feet high 1t was hung and
spread with the richest tissues, while
the gold and precious stones ornament
it would have made your eyes blink.
Adjoining this building were one
hundred gorgeous chambers for the
hundred bridegrooms, while for the re-
naming ten thousand an outer court
was Enclosed and hung with costly ta-
pestrv. and tables were spread outside
for the multitude. A separate seat was
assigned each pair, and all were ar
ranged in semi-circle on either hand
of the royal throne. Each bridegroom
mad received a golden vessel for his IL
baton, and when the last Of these had
been announced by trumpets to the
multitude without the brides entered
the banquet hall and took their places.
And now don't you think each bride
groom stood UP separately and vewed
with this ring / now thee we'd" and
so on. No, the ceremony was very
simple; the king give his hand to Sta
tira and kissed her as his wife, and the
other bridegrooms followed his exam

An ingenious device for testing the
purity Of the air in workshops and 9TH
er crowded places is on exhibition at
Zurich. A closed vessel filled with a
chemical solution, sensitive to carbonic
acid gas, sends out drop through a
glass siphon every two minutes; the
drop soaks through a cord hanging ver-
tically from the end Of the siphon. 1t
the air is very bad the drop changes its
natural color, red, to white at once, at
the upper end Of the cord. 1t keeps its
color along the cord in proportion to
the purity of the air, not changing at
all If the air Is perfectly pure. A grad
uated scale fixed to the cord marks the
degree of impurity.

IL, 0O0, 100000 copies, says the Buffalo
Commercial To grasp any idea of this
magnitude we may state that it would
cover no fewer than 10,45o square miles
of surface; that it is printed on 7S1,25o
tons Of paper, and, further, that If the
number (12,Ooo 100000 represented, in
stead Of copies, seconds, it would take
over 333 years for them to elapse. In
lieu of this arrangement we might
nress and pile them vertically upward
to gradually reach our highest noun
tains. Topping all these, and even the
highest Alps, the pile would reach the
magnificent altitude Of 400, or, in round
numbers 500 miles. Calculating that
the average man spends five minutes
reading his paper in the day (this is a
very low estinate), we find that the
neonIe of the world altogether annually
occupy time equivalent to 100000 years
reading the papers.

Mexico is on silver basis. A draft on
New York is worth a premium of 81 per
cent. The reason of this premium is that
Mexico must pay the difference between
her dollars, not foated, at a parity with
gold, and our dollars which, up to this
time, hold at that parity by the pledge of
the government, by the action of the pres
ent secretary of the treasury and b. he
courage of Grover Cleveland, the president
of the United States. Illustrative of this
money fallacy is the position of the man
who works, who sells services or the re-
suits of services. Take the section men on
the Atchison and Topeka road who live
and work respectively in Arizona, on the
American side, and in Sonora, in the re-
public of Mexico, upon the foreign eXten-
sion of that line of road The American
section hands are paid S1.10 per day " our
currency, and after you cross into "
on the same road the section hal re
paid for the same labor each one MeAican
dollar per day. The man on this side of
the line can step into Mexico and buy with
that S1,10 two Mexican dollars and have
two cents change in the bargain. Briefly,
one days work on the American side of
the line buys more than two days work on
the Mexican side.-J. Stirling Morton.

The semi official announcement was
made Saturday that Hoke Smith of
Georgia had resigned as secretary of the
interior. Rumors of his intended resigna-
tion had been current for several weeks,
but Mr.. Smith had declined to give any in
formation regarding them. Mr.. Smith
was formerly a free silver man, but after
he came into intimate relations with Mr..
Cleveland he changed his views and last
fall did effective work for the sound money
cause by his speeches in Georgia. At that
time, when he believed that the national
Democratic convention would declare for
the gold standard, he said:
"But above all, let us remember as Dem
ocrats that no matter how the next
national convention of the Demo-
cratic party acts-whether we be for the
free coinage or silver or whether we be for
sound money, we must support the ma
tional nominees of our party. We will
find in the platform of our party, outside
of the financial question, more to justify
our attachment and devotion than we will
find in any other party's platform, even
though the other platform should agree
with our financial views"
His remarks were intended to teach a
lesson of party loyalty to the free coinage
Democrats. The tables being turned,
however, Mr.. Smith found himself in a
position from which there was no retreat.
His resignation was therefore forwarded
to President Cleveland, and his paper, the
Atlanta journal, while denouncing the
financial plank of the Chicago platform,
came out for the nominees of that conven-
tion.
The announcement was made Tuesday
that David r. Francis, ex-governor of
Missouri, had been appointed secretary of
the interior. Mr.. Francis was a pronounc-
ed gold standard man before the Chicago
convention, but since then has given no
public utterance with regard to his position
toward the Chicago ticket
Gov. Francis is only As years old and is
at the head of one of the largest grain
firms in the West. He was president OF
