When the lens is silvered on it's rear
surface it projects the light in a per-
fectly parallel beam. Most interesting
of all, however, is the electric arc lamp
which differs from any arc lamp in
existence, and is q wonder in it's way.
In the old lamps the carbonS are not
placed in a horizontal position, but this
is the way they are arranged in the new
lamp. By this plan the light from the
arc is all caught on the silver lens
It is the arrangement that produces
that clear, round, parallel beam that

as bright as the larger lights, but

smaller vessels the lights are placed
on the pilot house. For this use a
small light is made which has an at
tachment Of extending below, and
within easy reach Of the pilot, which
enables him to instantly throw the
beam in any direction.
Until the present year there were no
real search lights in use except In the
navy. These naval lights were clumsy

There is always room at the top,
and it is better to reach the highest
point of perfection in butter than to
rest content with mediocre productions
simply because at their best they might
express a high order of talent.
For myself my plans are made. In
the spring l go down into Pennsylvania
and there will take entire charge of a
working dairy. 1 cannot say yet how
the products will be placed on the mar
ket, probably through some dealer In
choice supplies at first. Later l hope to
build up a trade direct with consumers,
for in that way one becomes personally
responsible for the quality and in time
gains a reputation for specially fine
butter for which she can obtain a gem

finds a place and a sale. There is real
ly no risk whatever entailed. Like all

RORS FOR SAILORS AND
SOLDIERS.
With These Wonderful Search
MISREPRESENTATION of the
Invention.

There has just been completed and
placed in operation an arc lamp Tor
search lights by which light is secured
without motors or contact devices of
any kind. This lamp with the new
lens mirror, mounted in sheet metal
cylinder, forms the modern high power
protector. Not the least important
feature Of the development in search
lights is the fact that by this recent
invention the cost of the light has
been reduced from figure which is
almost prohibitive to a sum that is
very reasonable, and puts it within the
power of vessel owners and other per-
sons, to whom the lights are Of use,
to purchase them.
The thousands of people who saw the
great search lights that were display
ed from the roof of the Manufactures
building at the Worlds Fair can form
something of an idea of the great i'm
provement in the apparatus told in
the relation of the facts quoted. When
the display at the fair was in progress
1T was thought very remarkable that
the beam thrown was visible several
miles away in Indiana. This new light,
however, with which every vessel in
the navy will sooner or later be equip
ped, can almost be seen in Philadelphia
when it is displayed in New York
With such light as this the nights
at sea, be they as dark and gloomy
as possible, are no proof against the
brilliant beam that shines from this,
the most marvellous light the brain Of
man ever conceived, or his hand con-
structed. For instance, a vessel ap-
preaching New York harbOr at night
could throw her light so as to make
every object on the water distinctly
visible just as far as the range of hui
man vision would permit. Every buoy
would stand out
IN BOLD RELIEF
against the blackness Of the water,
and the pilot would find his course
made as clear to him as if the SUM-
light streamed down on every channel
from Sandy Hook to the Battery.
While the new lights of the great

war it would be a tremendous power.

Cheyenne, Wyo. December 19.-No-
tees have been posted in the Union
Pacific saops at Cheyenne and Lara
mic. reducing the time of the men en-
ployed from five to four days a week.
and from eight hours to seven hours
per day, taking effect Immediately In
addition the employees are given a lay
off Of ten days during the holidays.
This is equal to reduction Of 80 per
cent in wages. The reduction is said
to be caused By falling off of bust
ness on the Union Pacific equivalent to
40 per cent Of the business done during
the summer months.
