CANDLE POWER.
How to Measure the Lighting Force and
Effect of q Flame.

How to Measure the Lighting Force and
Eject of n Flame.
This question and its answer have
been until recently of interest to scien-
fists only. But since one method Of
lighting is competing with the other
for superiority the question of lighting
power has seemingly become a public
matter. How many candle power? The
question is very simple and yet mysteri-
Gus to the layman.
For measuring the lighting power the
most reliable results are obtained by
means Of a grease spot. In its most SIM
pie application the experiment can be
tried easily at home. A sheet Of white
paper with a grease spot in the center
is put into frame and placed between
two flames of different lighting power
for instance, between an ordinary
candle and lamp.
When the frame is equally distant
from the two unequally bright flames,
the grease spot can be seen plainly ON
both sides. By moving the frame with
the sheet of paper slowly toward the
less brilliant light-that is. the candle
it will arrive finally ut a point where
the grease spot has apparently disap-
peared on both sides Of the paper. This
deception must always occur when Oh
both sides of the paper an equal bright
hess prevails and no side light exists.
Having reached this point. it can be
ascertained how much stronger is the
light Of the lamp than that Of the can
die.
If the candle is 30 inches distant from
the paper and the lamp 60 inches and
yet the brightness Oh both sides of the
paper is the same, then the light of the
lamp will be as strong rs that Of nine
candles. The calculation is BASED upon
the distances, the figures of which are
multiplied by themselves and then di-
vided-here, for instance, 60 times 60
divided by 20 multiplied by 20 equals g..
This, Of course, is the most primitive
method for measuring light, but it is
the principle for all the delicate instru-
ments used in the laboratories. Pear.

In Boston Chicago. New York and Phil
adelphia societies have been formed for
the purpose OF fighting consumption upon
special lines and in vigorous manner
The disease is now generally regarded as
being contagious, and many specialists
are satisfied that 1t can be stamped out
The purpose OF the societies mentioned IS
to do what they can towards stamping 1t
out; to secure the passage OF laws, the
isolation Of consumptive patients. and
provisions for taking proper care Of poor
consumptives who cannot take care Of
themselves. Similar societies have been
formed in various cities of Europe, there
being no less than forty of them in Ger
many alone. One mode of procedure in
Germany has been TO secure separate
hospitals for consumptive patients, and to
provide support and proper medical at
tendance for pauper consumptives. 1t is
believed that the poorer class are the
greatest propagators and distributors of
the bacilli of the disease. They have neith-
er the means for proper treatment nor
knowledge Of proper prophylactic meas
ures to be taken While they suffer, they
endanger the lives Of others.
The Society for the Prevention of Tu-
berculosis, of Philadelphia, has prevailed
upon the board of health of that city to
consider a proposition for setting aside
the city's lazeretto as a consumptive hos
pital, for the treatment of poor people.
The society hopes, through the co-opera-
ton of the local physicians, to have the
more well-to-do classes take the proper
precautions at their own expense. The
lazaretto is to be operated at the expense
of the city, if the society's plan is adopt
ed. And there seems to be no doubt that
it will be adopted.
1t is stated in the petition sent to the
health authorities by the society that
consumption annually destroys $500 lives
in Philadelphia alone, and that undoubt-
edly many of these lives could be saved
by the adoption of the proper precautions
against the disease and enforcing GER
tain regulations to prevent the distribu-
ton of the germs by those infected Con-
sumption, as is well known, is one of the
most insidous and at the same time dead
ly foes of mankind. If the medical ex-
perts are on the way to stamping it out
they should have all the assistance it is
possible to give them.
