EDISON'S NEW LAMP.
Tflament Is Covered with White Coat
 ing of Rare Earth.

In recently patented lamp devised by Thomas A. Edison the filament con- sists of highly refractory, porous, non-conducting material of rare earth oxide; incorporated in the body there of are isolated particles of carbon, be- tween which are spark gaps, whereby high tension currents, either alternat- ing, continuous, or intermittent, will be conducted from particle ta particle of the carbon and thus raise the hla- ment to incandescence. As the fla ment is of a highly refractory, non- conducting, porous material, the 1n- terior will be subjected to the effect of the vacuum in the globe, which Will assist in the conduetion of the current through the carbon particles. The highly refractory material consists of an oxide or oxides of the rare earths, such as oxide of zirconium or thorium. In order to provide an exterior surface for the filament which will radiate light it is momentarily dipped in the salt of the oxide, such as the acetate, which will leave no carbon upon car- bonization and provide white radiat- ing surface. h making the 1lament, 8 compound, such as solution Of sugar, asphalt, or tartfate of the oxide it. self, is mixed with the refractory ma terial, residue of carbon thus result ing upon carbonization. The mixture is forced by heavy pressure through a small opening and guided to form filament of the desired cross section, which is then bent into proper shape carefully dried and carbonized. Owing to it's high resistance, a voltage of seye eral hundred is necessary in operation. The filament may also be formed by soaking threads of cotton in the salt of the oxide. such as acetate, and ear- bonfzed to form a deposit of the oxide thereon; then. resoaked and reneated successiveiy until the desired quantity of oxide has been deposited, after which h=the flament may be soaked zIn the carbonizing substance; after being dried, it is dipped in q solution of a salt of the oxide of 8 rare earth, such as zireonia or thorium, preferably an acetate of such oxide, to form the white radiating coating desired.-Elee- trical World.

: BOAT DRILL IS TERRIFYING.
Performance Aboard ship That Always
 Scares the Passengers.

A boat drill is an interesting per- formanee when one sees it for the first time, provided he knows that it is com- ing; but it's terrors are real for those who do not expect it nor understand what it means. tThe second day out, while I was sitting calmly on deck, :" said a woman who crossed the ocean this summer, q heard the bell ring yio- lently and continuously. Looking around I saw two able seamen drag ging heavy hose and in another sec ond the water was turned on full force. Then the crew began to appear on every hand and to tear about in the widest way. Meanwhile the bell con- tinued to ring and the captain stood on the bridge giving orders. I wondered if had time to go for my pocketbook or for life-pFeseFver. I did regret that I had not read more carefully the di- rections for putting on the life-pre- server. Meanwhile 1 tried to find out how near death we were, and just what was the cause of our doom, but the men to whom I appealed were as much frightened or IS ignorant as l. Yes, the ships on fire, answered one. An other said he didn't know whether there was q fire in the hold or whether something had broken about the en- zine. The crew was busy getting the lifeboats over and hadn't time to an- swer any questions. saw two women crying and elinsing to their husbands, and one woman was about to leap overheard when she was restrained by a man in a white coat and apron. who, I think, was a cooks boy. The cook's boy told he at last that it was drill to test the men. Don't try to eneour- age me, 1 protested; I would rather know the worst It must have been over in five minutes. but I learned in that time to feel what it meant to be sure of death at sea. I asked the eap- tain why he didn't warn the passen- gers of what was coming. Because the men would know, too he replied, and l wouldn't find out then how many men slept on duty

Talk Ahouf Rnes.

It seems to be an extraordinary summer for bugs. Chicago has a mos quito pest, Boston has caterpillars. Philadelphia has strangling bug cap. able of choking a mouse to death. The kissing bug. of course. needs hardly to be referred to, Strange stories are coming in concerning the exploits of the bugs. A Coney island wheelman was recently knoeked spinning from his bicycle by a blow from a bug. The other day negro was found in a ditch in New York town, where he had been disabled and thrown by some rowing bug that had struck him in the ear The one thing. and the only thing that makes one suspicious of the bug stories of the season is the entire absence Of the sea serpent from the prominent shore resorts. It may be that the bugs are substituting while tLe serpent takes a season off
 Seasoning Wood with Electricity.
 In France a method of seasoning wood through the agency of electricity is credited with much success It is called the -Bretonneau process. The timber is nearly immersed in a tank of water containing ten per cent of borax. five of resin. and a little car bonate of soda, and rests on lead plate connected with the positive pole of dynamo. Another similar plate lying on the exposed surface of the timber, is connected with the negative pole. Thus current of electricity can be passed through the wood, from which all the sap appears to be re- moved. while the borax and resin takes it's place in the pores. In a few hours the timber is taken out and dried, and the seasoning is said to be complete.

For the first time since Nellie Ar thurs days the white house will have a young girl as one of it's occupants. When Holyoke seminary closes at the end of June, Miss Grace Mckinley will take up her home with her uncle, the president. She is said by those who know her to be a very pretty girl. Her father was a brother of MT. Mckinley. Both her parents died when she was a mere child, and before she went to Holyoke she lived for a time in her un- cIe.s home in Canton.

HOW CLOVES ARE GATHERED
More Used in America Than Any Other
 Country.

Country.
 More cloves are said to be used in America than in any other country, England and France following in the order named. h this country and in Great Britain they are used almost wholly as a eondiment but in France they are used largely in the manufac ture of certain Hqaeurs.. To some de gree they are employed iii medicine for their tonic properties. The name cloYe is from the French cIou, meaning a nail. The tree is an evergreen. grow ing from forty to fifty feet nigh, with large, oblong leaves and crimson flow CTS at the end of small branches in clusters of from ten to twenty. The tree belongs to the same family as the guava, the pomegranate and the rose apple. The cloves are at first white, then light green, and at the time of gathering bright red. Pieces of white cloth are spread under the trees at the harvesting time, and the branches are beaten gently with bamboo sticks until the cloves drop They are dried in the sun, being tossed about daily until they attain the rich dark color which proclains them ready for ship ment. A clere tree bears at the age of about ten years. and continues un= til it reaches the age of 75 years. There are two crops q year, one in June anG the other in December. Hot weather is favorable to the crop although a little fog is said to improve the flavor New York Press.

Ina Tomsk= newspaper says proudly that iD the first twenty days of last January no less than 19-000 sleighs loaded with tea passed through the Siberian city. Every sleigh carries usually five bales of tea, packed in OK skin, each weigh ing from 100 to 160 pounds. The men sleep on the sleighs during the trip across Siberia. which lasts nearly one year. It would be shorter to send the Chinese tea by sea; but in this case the custom house duties are high, while they are comparatively small on tea imported by 3he land route, Russian merchants, who have long had most of the European tea business in their lands, are greatly disturbed over the great growth in public favor of the CeyIon teas which are distributed from Tapdr2Z
