A LIGHT ITEM.
A New Lighting Process by Professor
Emerson.

Just now, while u citizens r
interested in tine city lighting propo-
sition, the following from the Chi
cago Times-Herald is pertinent:
"Prof. V. l.. Emerson, an Ameri-
car scientist at present residing in
Ottawa, has perfected a pow erful in
candescent light that uses coal oil or
naptha as fuel, and that far exceeds
in brilliancy any other light yet pro-
duced. The light is steady, soft and
white and a small table lamp fitted
with the new device will give more
light than an ordinary electric arc
lamp, but does not flicker as the
latter lamp does.
Operated at Low Cost -
The cost of operating this new
light is said to be about one-sixth of
a cent an hour. There is no gas
holder or accumulation of gas to af-
feet insurance, and no water is re-
CURED to operate the light, as is nee
essary with all other types of gas
machines.
One Jet of this light is said to be
equivalent to about ten burners of
light produced by the best gas ma
chimes or city gas, and the expense
is no more than required for operat-
ing an ordinary coal oil lamp. The
entire lighting apparatus is portable
and an apparatus that will light a
store or residence as bright as day,
and may be carried in the hand. A
complete plant that will produce
200 candle power may be installed
at a price not exceeding s25, while a
street lamp, capable of producing
q 90 candle power, will not cost
more than $50.
How Light Is Produced
The apparatus produces the light
by atomizing coal oil and mixing it
with atmospheric air. The air and
gas produced from the oil are spray
ed on a film which has been chemi-
cally treated SO that the heat will not
affect it. The action of the air and
oil gas upon this film produces an
intense incandescency. The whole
apparatus works automatically after
being once started, and does not re-
quire the care and attention of even
an ordinary coal oil lamp.
Prof. Emerson claims that cities
may be lighted with this new lamp
in a cheaper and more satisfactory
than with electricity. The
hollow base of the pole may be filled
with coal oil, which is conveyed to
the lamp above by small wires, and
a sufficient supply may be poured
into the pole at any one time to last
a month. By a clockwork arrange
ment the lamps are lighted automat-
ically.
Anv of these lamps. it is asserted,
may be made to give a more power
full light by simply pumping air into
the oil chamber"

pairing to take care of from II, 900 to
Ii, 1000 people from September 6 to s,
inclusive. 1T will be the occasion of
the old settlers and soldiers re-

fair. There win be attractions to fit
age, color and previous condition of
servitude. Circus tents have been
provided for the entertainment of
the visitors. The thing will run for
three days and nights. Barbecues
will be no slight feature of the oc-
casion. Big political speeches will
be made. Ignatus Donnelly will
probably be there; Congressman La
cey and Hull will speak; Mr.. A. B.
Cummins will make an address.
Cato Sells will go down to represent
the democrats. Ex-Congressman
Walt Butler will talk for the demo-
Gratis, also, while Judge W. A. Spur
rier, of Des Moines, will speak for
the silver republicans. Judge s. F.
Prouty, of Des Moines, who will be a
candidate for congress to succeed
Mr.. Hull, will speak. Bussey is in
the corner of three counties, Ma
haska, Marion and Monroe. The re-
unions of the character planned for
this year have been going on there
for several years. The town has but
900 population. Excursion rates have
been granted on all the railroads.

Central Work.

The new work on the Abba line of
the Iowa Central is moving along to
the satisfaction of the management
and the work on the Improvements
could not be in better shape.
Work has been commenced on the
new 70 pound steel that is to be put
in between this city and Abba. There
are from 25 to 30 laborers in the steel
gang and at present are laying about
a half mile of track per day.
The grading work near Eddyville
is progressing nicely. There is here
a succession of hills and says that
will be removed by a change of the
grade of the road bed. The greatest
cut amounts to 20 feet below the old
grade and the says are raised a dis
lance Of several feet. When this
new grade is completed it will do
away with a place in the Abba track
that has been a nuisance since the
of the road.

A New sufnaIing Scheme.

It is reported that Alther 6 Black, who
purchased a threshing machine from a
supply company on the new plan have
skipped the country leaving their hands
unpaid and unsettled accounts to the
amount of $500. This is the naturalscon-
sequence of the plan whereby the thresf-
Ing machine was purchased 1t is assert
ed that the agent of the supply company
will go to any man who would like to
buy threshing machine and offer to sell
it to him for about $4,000 without any
cash payment whatever, provided he will
get some of his neighbors who have
wheat to thresh to give their notes for
about the amount their threshing will
come TO, as security for payment the
machine. The way the neighbors get
roped in is by the assurance that by thus
giving their notes to the coppany in ad-
vance, their wheat will be threshed be-
fore that of anyone else, and further that
it will be done with a new machine.
They bite easy and give their notes TO the
company which sells the machine for an
amount approximately equal to the
threshing bill they expected to haYe.
The man to whom the machine is nom
inally sold is also a sucker, being assured
that he can easily pay Tor the machine
out of his profits the seasons work.
He starts in confidently, hires crew and
works faithfully on the wheat of the men
who have signed notes. But all this time
he is not getting in any money, and his
hands are clamoring for their wages. If
he cannot raise the money he gets dis
couraged. quits and skips the country be-
fore threshing half the wheat of the men
whose notes have long since been dis
counted by the supply company. The
notes are good and the farmers who
signed them will have to pay whether
their wheat is threshed or not The man
to whom the machine was sold is gone,
or is not financially responsible and an
other boat load of fish is landed high and
dry.-Wellington Mail.
