A New Light.


A phenomenon, the cause of which
has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned, was described at a recent meet
Ing Of the scientists. Dices of loaf
sugar were mounted on lathe and
rapidly rotated while a hammer
played lightly against them. An al
most continuous radiation Of light was
thus produced from the sugar. 1t was
shown that the light did not rise from
heating Of the sugar, and it is believed
to be caused by some change taking
place In the sugar crystals. The act of
erystallization is known to be some
times accompanied by flashes of light.
The practical bearing Of these expert
ments is on the question of the posi-
bility of obtaining artificial light by
methods as yet untried-Cincinnat En-

It IL Hoped to Get the Insurgents
Where They Can be Captured.
NEW YORK. June GA special to
the Herald" from Washington says:
In dispatching General Lawton toscap-
ture Morong, Major General Otis is
understood to have the purpose to de-
stroy or drive back the strong force Of
insurgents which have been operating
from that section against the Pasig
River line.
There is no expectation here that
Lawton's column will go far from rivers
or lakes, upon which supplies will be
carried to him. The authorities appre-
ciate the extreme difficulties of CAM
paign during the rainy season and all
they expect is that the American forces
will make short incursions into the
|enemy's country breaking up any large
organizations which may establish
themselves in the vicinity Of Manila,
and especially near Laguna de Bay.
1t is apparent from the line which
I4awton Is following and the dispatch
of the Washington troops to Morong
that it is hoped to get the insurgents
between that point Taytay and Anti
polo, and the lake hemmed in so that
they can be destroyed or captured.

there has been more or less said about

think my Eastern friends recognized
the justice of our claims. 1t certainly
looks that way to me-
