MAXIM'S WONDERFUL LIGHT
Electric Bulbs That Beat Anything
Edison Has Turned Out.

Frank Whites Cablegram, in New York
Journal.
l saw tonight a wonderful new light
just invented by Hiram Maxim, the Amer
lean scientist living in England, and the in
ventor of the Maxim gun. 1t is the finest
cheapest and strongest electric light ever
made, with nearly three times the candle
power of the ordinary incandescent light
1t lasts more than twice as long and re-
quires less than half the energy. Unlike
the lights now in use the film is made of
a mineral, instead of a vegetable, substance
the nature of which is a secret The re-
suit is light of intense brilliancy, without
red rays. The bulb is of ordinary size.
The light 1 saw was in the library of
Mr.. Maxim, at his house No. Is Queens
Gate place This is big, lofty room %
by 70 feet. a single new lamp illumined
the room far beyond the power of two of
EdiSOn'S SiXteen-ca ndle-poWer lampS Also
the life or the ordinary incandescent lamp
now used is five hundred hours. Mr. Maxim
said: This one lamp has been burning
in this room thousand hours with only a
slight diminution of power. / don't know
how much longer it Will burn, as it is still
in an experimental stage.
The ordinary lamps now used have six
teen candle power. This new lann has
forty candle power, taking the Watts unit
of electrical energy.
THE American lamps require four and
elSht-teHtIS 70 LVe TO the candle power
The best English lamps take four and two
tenths to the candle power. The new Maxim
lamp takes only two and eight-tenths to the
candle power.
THAT expresses mathematically the econ
omy of the lamp i'm electrical energy
1t secures nearly three times the light, and
this single lamp has burned already twice
as long as the average lamp now in use

lamps will do as well as this. | am not
yet ready to show it to the public
Mr.. Maxim exhibited some of the ma
terial from which the films are made 1t
looked like pieces of coal. The vegetable
films now used are very costly Mr. Maxim

He Didn't Smoke.
Washington Post.


This is a story which has an especial
moral for those of us who have at any time
been tempted to smuggle- That is to say,
it has a universal moral. for whenever /
find a man. woman or child who wouldn' t
smuggle if he had the opportunity | shall
know that the millennium has come. The
hero of this story has a fiancee. He has
also a friend who is spending a few months
in Mexico, and he sent all his spare funds
to this friend planning for his lady love a
delightful surprise The friend was to buy
a number of the finest opais TO be found
and bring them home with him. Last
month he sent the Washington man several
packages of Mexican cigarettes. The
Washington man does not smoke. SO he dis
tributed the cigarettes freely among his ac-
quaintances. Last week there came a let
ter from the friend in Mexico.
- am not coming home as early as in
tended" the letter ran, but hope you got
the opals safely. An American here showed
me how to conceal them in the cigarettes,
and l hid four in each box. Awfully clever
idea, / think don't you"
But the Washington young man has been
too busy trying TO find out who really did
get the opals to think Of anything else.

What to Teach.

What should be taught in the public
schools is the subject presented by one of
the morning papers to A symposium of

particularly gratified by the ideas advanced
by our distinguished countrywoman, Belva
A. Lockwood, who. perhaps. comes nearer
TO hitting the nail on the head than any
other person approached. Belva believes in
good handwriting and correct speaking. So
do we. We also believe in good spelling, and

HEZ' WHEATGRASS'S SAY.
He Touches on Free Silver and the
Rise in Wheat.

There was a Teller spoke over to

basis" said Hez' Wheatgrass, the other
day. to a row Of farmers, who, as himself.
were waiting their turn to unload at the
big elevator.
He made mighty nigh everybody in Pike
township think he was telln' the truth,
too Coin home that night Jim Harris
says to me: There is a powerful sight O.

maybe there was, but L didn't believe

to do with each other. Jim, he went an

as drove past his place; he was out wad-
ing through his cornfeld-stalks higher'n
his head. tassling out, and all it needs is
more rain to make the finest crop in Mari

'Where'r you goin, Hez? he yelled.
Over to the elevator with a load of
wheat. Jim. You took any yet?
No, not vet, he said, kind O. lookin'
riled. What they payin to-day?'
'Ninety-eight,' 1 told him, havin' drove

- Never mind, will in another week

""Cause L got to pay off some more O.
the old mans debts he left on the place. "
Hez' Wheatgrass entertained his audience
of farmers. He had a ready tongue, and
one or two who seldom spoke a dozen con-
secutive words glanced up in approval at
his sun burned face. A broad-brimmed
straw hat kept the sun from his eyes, but
had not been much protection to the long,
Redeemed neck, exposed to view through
the open blue shirt collar. As Hez spoke
he tapped the toe of his heavy boot, in the
top of which his trouser leg was stuffed,
with the butt end of a heavy whip.

Speed in Walking.

New York Evening Sun.
There's no end of persons said a man
who walks great deal himself, who think
they could walk four miles an hour, and
very likely they could but they would have
to move along very briskly TO do it. AS a
four miles an hour: three miles is a very
fair gait and when one exceeds that he
is beginning to walk fast. If my recollec-
ton serves the old common time in the
miles an hour, and quick time two and
seven-eighths miles an hour The distances
which the soldier covers in an hour have
now been increased somewhat by slightly
increasing the length of his steps, but my
impression is that the common time re-
mains under three miles an hour. Certainly
three miles would be good, fair walking,
and fully UP TO mans average speed"

GATHERING AQUARIUM STOCK

How Live Fishes Arc Selected and Pre-
pared for Transportation.
Men experienced in gathering aquar-
ium stock never ship fishes long dis
tances Immediately after they are
caught, il it can be avoided; the NOR
tally is almost sure to be great among
stock so shipped. BY whatever means
q fish has been captured it is likely
to have been more or less excited and
it may have suffered some injury which
would make It liable to attack by fun
gus. It is the practice when possible
to place the newly caught fish in fish
cars or in some other suitable place
at or near the shore in the vicinity Of
where they were caught. where they
may be rested for the journey, accus-
toned under favorable conditions to
captivity, and accustomed to feeding.
and where the weak or injured fishes
may be weeded out. In this way only
good and sound fish are finally started,
and these are started in the best posi-
bic condition. Fishes thus selected and
prepared are far more likely to get
through all right, and such fishes are,
Of course. far more likely to survive

Facts About Pum,ee stone.


Pumfce, as is well known, is of VOL
canic origin, being a trachytic lava
which has been rendered light by the
escape Of gases when in a molten
state. It is found on most of the
shores Of the Tyrrhenian, sea and else
where, but is at present almost ex-
clusively obtained from the little is
land Of Lipari. Most Of the volcanoes
Of Lipari have elected pumaceous
rocks, but the best stone is all the pro-
duct Of one mountain, Monte Chirica,
nearly 1000 feet in height, with its
two accessory craters. The district in
which the pumice is excavated covers
an area Of three square miles. It has
been calculated that about 1000 hands
are engaged in this industry, 600 of
whom are employed in extricating the
mineral. Pumice is brought to the
surface in large blocks or in baskets
and is carried thus either to the
neighboring village or to the seashore
to be taken there in boats. The cup
ply Il said to be practically inexhaust-
ible. Pumice is used not merely for
cleansing and securing purposes, but
also for polishing in numerous trades,
hence the fact that the powdered pum-

LORD KELVIN.

Recaras His Own Splendid Carssr ~ .
Failure. ~
The celebration Of the Jubilee Of Lord
Kelvin (even now better known to the
older generation as Sir William Thorn
sony as professor Of natural philosophy
In Glasgow university has taken place
recently in Glasgow and has produced
perfect food Of the heartiest congrat-
ulations from the scientific men Of all
parts Of the world, says the London
Spectator. Never was there a greater
unanimity of sincere and eager admira-
ton. from England, from all parts of
Europe, from the United States and
from Japan, where his pupils and adj
mirers abound. But perhaps the most
striking feature Of the Jubilee was the
the perfect modesty and even humility
of Lord Kelvin's own speech in
reply to the lord provost's congyatula-
lions.
Zone word,' he said, "characteri1es
the most strenuous of the efforts
for the advancement of science
that I have made perseverins-
ly through fifty-flve years; that word
is failure; I know no more Of electric
or magnetic force, or of the relations
between ether, electricity and ponder
able matter or of chemical affinity than
l knew or tried to teach my students Of
natural philosophy fifty years ago in
my first session as professor. Some
thing Of sadness must come Of failure"
True, but there is something Of sub
Unity in the confession, as we'll as in
the elevation of Lord Kelvin's concep-
ton Of what success would have meant.
when he regards such a scientific ca.
reer OF constant and fertile discovery az
has attracted the admiration and al
most the vereration Of all the world. az
nothing better than failure in disguise.
