FOOD IN THE ARCTIC.
Birds Have No Difficulty Finding 1t In the
Snow.

Birds Have No Difficulty Finding 1t In the
Snow.
The number of birds that go to the
arctic regions to breed is "vast beyond
conception. They go not by thousands,
but by millions, to rear their young on
the tundra The cause which attracts
them is because nowhere in the world
does nature provide at the same time
and in the same place "such lavish
prodigality of food" That the barren
swamp Of the tundra should yield food
supply so great as to tempt birds to
make journeys of thousands of miles to
rear their young in land Of plenty,
only to be found beyond the arctic cir
Gle, seems incredible The vegetation
consists of cranberry, cloudberry and
crowberTy bushes. Forced by the per-
petual sunshine of the arctic summer
these bear enormous crops of fruit But
the crop is not ripe until the middle and
end of the arctic summer, and if the
fruit eating birds had to wait until it
was ripe they would starve, for they
arrive on the very day of the melting Of
the snow. But each year the snow de-
sends on its immense crop of ripe fruit
before the birds have time to gather it.
1t is then preserved beneath the snow,
perfectly fresh and pure, and the melt
ing of the snow discloses the bushes
with the unconsumed last years crop
hanging on them or lying, ready to b
eaten, on the ground. The frozen meal
stretches across the breadth of Asia. II
never decays and is accessible the mo
ment the snow melts Ages have taught
the birds that they have only to fly to
the arctic circle to find such store Of
"crystallized foods" as will last them
till the bushes are once more forced into
bearing by the perpetual sunlight. The
same heat which frees the fruit brings
into being the most prolific insect life
in the world. The mosquito swarms on
the tundra No European can live there
without aveil after the snow melts. The
gun barrels are black with them, and
the cloud often obscures the sight. Thus
the insect eating birds have only 10 open
their mouths to fill them with mosqui-
toes, and the presence of swarms of ten
der warblers, of cliff CHATS, pipits and
wagtails in this arctic region is 30
counted for.-New York Evangelist.

BRITToN, April l2-On the 10th of
April, at early morning, the dark robed
Angel of Death spread its mantle over
the home of Mrs. Elizabeth l.. Wade,
waiting her spirit to that realm of bliss
which remains for all who die in the
Lord. Deceased had been confined to
her room for several years with
paralysis, and to be released from her
earthly suffering and be present with
them In that land of eternal happiness,
was to her a consoling thought. She
was devoted member of the Presby-
terrain Church, and just before her death,
summoned all her family to participate
with her in the Lords Supper. She
was in her seth year, and had been a
widow for 40 years. OF the eleven chill
dren, six survive her-Messrs. John,
Glenn, Tom. B., Judge Wade, and Mes
danes Bond and Gordon. To the
bereaved ones we tender our deepest
sympathy. Funeral services were con-

to indicate in the finished, repaired
lamp that it had ever been opened.
1t is stated that some 400, 900 lamps
have been repaired by this method, the
filament being inserted through the
small hole referred to by skillful twist
of the hand and secured in position by a
special carbon paste. The black deposit
ON the inside of the bulb is removed by
fitting the lamp to the holder and re-
moving it in q gas furnace, while i'm
mediately following this operation a
small glass tube is fused to the opening
made in the bulb, through which the
lamp is exhausted. When this has been
done and the last trace of air and gas
absorbed, a blowpipe flame is directed
upon the throat Of the tube, which is
melted into the point exactly in every
respect counterpart of the original
lamp. -Providence Journal

said the ceremony which bound tOgeth-
er the lives Of Mr.. Thomas Cheek and
Miss Martha Brooks. The bride is one
of our most excellent young ladies. The
groom is one of Columbia's much re-
spected gentlemen, and deserves to be
congratulated for his wise selection.
May the vows taken by this young
couple be silken cords of love, plant
and soft, and strong as steel.
Miss Sula White, we are sorry to
state, is slightly paralyzed on one side
of her face.
For the benefit of "Gypsy Blair" we
will say that it has been about three
years since we attempted our first com
munication to the HERALD.

near here, is not expected to live many

Hoping that the HERALD will con-
tinue to prosper and scatter its bright
news abroad, we will desist.

LITTLE MISS LIPSCOMB WIN
WINS
Dobbins & Ewing's Beautiful Buck
Prize Stove.

Dobbins & Ewing's Beautiful Buck"
Prize Stove.
Several weeks ago, as our readers
have perhaps noticed, DobbIns &
Ewing offered a beautiful though
small Bucks" stove to the little
girl who would bring them at noon
on the 18th day of April, the great
est number of the bucks head, cut
from their advertisement from either
the HERALD, the Democrat or Our
Public School. A great many little
girls fixed their eyes on the pretty
little stove and coveted it, and start
ed out to work and win it, and every
week, with scissors in hand they
would canvass the town, house by
house, asking permission to clip the
papers.
But some started earlier than 9TH
ers and worked harder and forged
ahead, so that day or two before the
final day it began to be generally un-
derstood that the real race was be-
tween little Miss frankie Lander
Lipscomb, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. E. LipscOmb, Miss Dora Gross,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G.
Gross, Miss Maud Haley, daughter
of Mrs. John Haley, and Miss Mary
Tiller, daughter, of Mr.. B. II. Tiller.
Then the friends of these four little
Misses went to work in earnest to
pull for them, and the fight went
bravely on until yesterday morning,
when combinations began to work.
It was learned that a little Miss on
West Sixth street, for the considera
tiOn Of doll had capitulated in ia
vor of NJ ISIS Gross, and that another
wee tot for like consideration had
done likewise, these two transfer
ring some 400 or more votes.
This put Miss Gross in the lead,
and to get even Miss Tiller made
overtures and captured Miss Haley's
strength; but Miss Gross friends
were securing the town, picking
up little fish here and there,
until it was thought she still had a
safe lead. In the meantime the
country districts were beginning to
be beard from, and Miss Lipscomb's
strength grew fast and faster. The
show down was to be made at II
o'clock. Just before that hour,
Miss Tiller, realizing that she could
not win, "capitulated" with Miss
LipscOmb, and it was all over then
except the counting. The final
count stood as follows:
frankie Lander Lipscomb, Colu rbia. .27si
Dora Gross, Columbia. ....................l4 7l

INCANDESCENT LAMPS.
How the Burned Out Filament May BE
Replaced and Renewed.

How the Burned Out Filament May BE
Replaced and Renewed.
1t has been generally supposed to be a
fruitless task to attempt the renewal of
a burnt out incandescent electric lamp,
although there appears to be some eco
nomic fallacy involved in the destruc-
ton of what is except in one small if
important particular perfect piece of
apparatus. 1t is not intended, as a rule,
to give in this column descriptions Of
American devices or achievements
drawn from foreign publications. This
subject has, however, been taken up by
the English journal, Industries and
Iron, and, although it states that an
American process for renewing these
lamps after the flament has been bro
ken has been developed, it does not give
the name Of inventors nor state that the
process has come into anything like gen.
eral application. Its description of the
operation is therefore given for what it
is worth.
1t states that a commercial success
has been made Of a process for renewing
burned out lamps which renders possible
the use Of the old bulb at very slight
expense. By the new method the collar,
or bare end, Of the lamp is not disturb
ed, the old filament being removed and
the new one placed through small hole
in the lamp bulb made by removing the
tip. The small hole is subsequently clos
ed exactly in the same manner as in the
case Of the new lamp leaving nothing
