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

In recently patented lamp devised
 by Thomas X. Edison the fllament con- sists of highly refractory, porous, non-eonducting material of rare earth oxide; incorporated in the body there- of are isolated particles of carbon, be- tween which are spark gaps, whereby nigh tension currents. either alternat- ing, continuous, or intermittent, will be conducted from particle to particle of the carbon and thus raise the fila- ment to incandescenee As the fiia- ment is of a highly refractory, non- conducting, porous material, the in- terfor will be subjected to the effect of the vacuum in the globe, which will assist in the conduction 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 fflament 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 tonfzation, and provide white radiat- ing surface. In making the filament. compound, such as a solution Of sugar, asphalt, or tartrate of the oxide it. self. is mixed with the refractory ma terial residue of carbon thus result ing upon earbonization. The mixture is forced by heavy pressure through small opening and guided to form a nlament of tho desired crosszseetion, which is then bent into proper shape, carefully dried and carbonized. Owing to it's high resistance, a voltage of sev- eTal hundred is necessary in operation. The flament may also be formed by soaking threads of cotton in the salt of the oxide, such as acetate, and car bonized to form a deposit of the oxide thereon; then resoaked and relocated suceessiyely until the desired quantity of oxide has been deposited, after which the flament may be soaked in the earbonizing substance; after being dried, it is dipped in a solution of q salt of the oxide of 8 rare earth. such as zirconia or thorium. preferably an acetate of such oxiie, to form the white radiating coating desired.--Elec- trical World.

 It was at an early dour this morn ing when the oil iu Harry \ torch ran low. He secured a can of oil, but instead of singpishing the light, he proceeded to refill the torch while ignited The result was just like when little boy blew into the end of cannon.
 The large can exploded into his face. Davis was badly burned about the hands and face. Medical aid was summoned and he Is doing well un- der the circumstances.

FORTUNES IN HARD WOODS.
Rig Advance in Their Values Duging
 the Past Year,

Rig Advance in Their Values During
 the Past Year.
 The hardwood business has increased 10 such mammoth proportions in the last decade that Chicago is unquestion- ably the largest consuming market in the world. The receipts so far this year indicate that by January there will have been placed in the forty dif- ferent yards fully 1,200 GOO 900 feet, valued at upward of s30.00O,00O. The largest consumers of this vast amount of hardwood are the BIO furniture fac tories. the many plano and organ makers, the agricultural machine man. ufaeturers, the palace car works and the building interests An inventory completed a week ago showed 30,000,- 900 feet in stock at the Pullman yards European demand for black walnut takes nearly all of the limited supply of that wood. leaving only enough to meet the piano and organ require- ments. Indiana and Ohio, the best forest states in the country, wasted more of this valuable wood in rail fences and in fires than the value of the remainder of their trees, and those states are now being secured flor the rails, which can be made into table legs and similar pieces. One tree near Goshen. Ind. recently sold for $5,000, and eighty trees brought $20 LOGO Four trees shipped to Europe sold for s10,- 900. The Indiana sycamore is valuable finishing in bright red with bird s-eye dot. It is used mostly for small fancy boxes. White walnut is used mostly for carvings for churches and finishing for expensive residences. Butternut and chestnut form most of the coffina Chicago Chronicle.

In the same hen-house lives terrier A few days ago the animal gave birth to eight white pup pies, and they were placed in box in the corner. To the astonishment of the owner, his hen left her thirteen eggs and placed herself in full charge of the puppies. She has been cuddling the tiny pups under her wings and will allow no one to take them away with out great fight. The mother Of the pups is on friendly relations with the hen, 1t would seem, for she lies on tho floor and seems to have no objection to the foster mother. In the meantime the expensive sitting of eggs spoiled.

Queer Traits of Character Analysed by
 the Cemetery Worker.
 The gravediggers in the different burying grounds have their own phil losophy of life. One of them who has been in the business nearly 25 years, and who takes an exceedingly cheerful view of life notwithstanding his occupation, said that when he first went into 1t he felt kind of shaky," but that now he would as soon dig a grave as do anything else, says the Baltimore Sun. "I've seen some mighty queer things in my dme." he said. i've seen people-mournerB. mean catch sight of name on the card tied on to some flower piece and then they have gone straight to work to tear up the whole thing. I'll tell you another thing I've noticed. When a woman comes along and makes big fuss at her husbands funeral and says, I can't live without him!' know that in a few weeks time I'll see her out here leaning on some young fellows arm. It's never failed. It's happened every time But the people-women and men too-who don't take on lot, but just keep still and sometimes don't even shed tear, that's the kind that grfeyes. You don't see that kind mar rying again so soon.'

PROPOSED NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.

We herewith present a cut of the
proposed new High school building
for Mineral Point, designed by f. S.
Allen, architect, Of Joliet, ILL.,, by re-
quest of members Of the school board
and city council Preliminary steps
have been taken in the matter of sub
hitting to the voters of Mineral Point
the question Of bonding the city in a
sum not to exceed 500, 900 either for
the erection Of new school build
ing or an annex to the present high
school building. The proposed struc-
turc lpicture Of which is here shown J
would accommodate about 400 pupils,
and is designed for High school, pre-
paratory department and grammar de-
partmcnt. The estimated cost is from
$IG,O 900 to 1928, 900 according to mater
ial used, finish, etc.
1t is truly condition and not a
theory with which we are confronted,
More school room is an absolute ne
ccssity. Students from outside the
city have been refused admission to
the High school for want of room to
accommodate them. Various plans
for securing more room have been
proposed by members Of the school
board and others, who have given the
subject attention. Plans and estimates
for building an annex to the present
High school building were secured.
But the fact remains that we are still
lacking in the matter Of proper school
accommodations. 1t may stand as u
rcproach to the people here that we
are behind our sister cities in this re-
gard: but when it is remembered that
Mineral Point has contributed her full
share towards cancolling a city and
county railroad bonded Indebtedness,
which amounted, in all, to over half
million of dollars and this within
the last thirty years it may be re-
garded as some mitigation for our
neglect, and it can be better under
stood why VIC are not up-to-date in the
matter Of public buildings. But, new

Some newspapers assert, with tri-
umphnnt tone, that no Republican Is
shouting FOR an empire, True, but
the absence of this shout makes it no
less certain that we are on the way
there unless there Is halt. The man
who wants to go to Darlington; and
faces Dodgeyillc viii got to Dodge
vile, all right, If he only keeps ON,
although ne BOASTS that he IN bound
for Darlington The drunknrd be-
gins his career, rs such, not with n
shout that this was TO be- his end, He
had no intention whatever that 1t
shoald be; but events moved faster
than he anticipated There was no
halt; and he reached an end that he
mover had In mind. The young man
who begins to steal does not have the
state prison In mind, but he ends
there l'ncousciously, but surely, in
0ucnccs and changed ideas mako us
something different from what we In
tended to be. Issues are terribly log
ical In their conclusions and couse-
Quenccs, NO matter how Illogical men
may be who take up such issues.
Lincoln stated 1t when he said that
this country could not be half slave
aud and half free. In timc nc said, 1t
was bound to bc one thing or the other,
He was right, After the civil war,
the administration, in the interests Of
the party, tried to rule the South,
practically as conquered provinces;
and the result was that Hayes was
Obliged to withdraw the troops, to
save his party ut the north, The
coming events and issues would sccm
10 Indicate practically the Same thing,
This country cannot be half empire
and half republic, 1t will be one
thing or the other, 1t was ahsurdly
illogical to talk about u free rcpub-
lie, aud at the same time support al
the South state governments that die
not rest upon the consent of the gov.
crned, inasmuch IA they went Il
pieces the moment the troops were
ordered away. Is not the idea equal
ly absurd that we can bc republic
here aud an empire in the philippin,
Islands? one or the other must tri,
umph the moment the troops are with,
drawn.
