EDIsoN's NEW LAMP.

Bflament Is Covered with White Coas~
 Ing Of Rare Earth.
 In q recently patented lamp devised by Thomas A. Edison the flament 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 to particle of the carbon and thus raise the hla- ment to incandescence. As the fla ment is of highly refractory, non- conducting, porous material, the in terior will be subjected to the effect Of the vacuum in the globe, which Wln assist in the conduction of the current through the carbon particles. The highly refractory material consists or an oxide or oxides of the rare earths, such as oxide of zireonium or thorium. In order to provide an exterior surface for the filament which will rad1ate light it is momentarily dipped 1n the salt of the oxide, such as the acetate, which will leave no carbon upon car bonization, and provide white radiat- ing surface. In making the ilament. compound, such as solution of sugar, asphalt, Or a tartrate of the oxide It. self, is mixed with the refractory ma- terial, a residue of carbon thus result ing upon carbonization. The mixture is forced by heavy pressure through a small opening and guided to form flament of the desired cross-sect1on, which is then bent into proper shape carefully dried and carbonized. Owing to its high resistance, a voltage of sey- eral 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 deposit of the oxide thereon; then resoaked and relocated successiyely until the desired quantity of oxide has been deposited after which the filament may be soaked in !. the earbonizing substance; after being dried, it is dipped in solution of a salt of the oxide of a rare earth, such as zirconia or thorium, preferably an acetate of such oxide. to form the white radiating coating desired.-Elee- trical World.

FROZEN FOOD INDUSTRY.
Remarkable Increase in the Business AA
 the Last Decade

SAAN A~Hst DCOH0ps
 From the Indianapolis News: Frozen food plays a part in the English econ- omy that we in this country do not re- alize, although we are all familiar enough with cold storage houses and refrigerator cars. In 1880 London re- ceiyed it's first consignment of 400 frozen eareasses of Australian sheep. In spite of the prejudice against it, the traffic has grown until now there are eighty-eight vessels engaged in the traffic. with a carrying capacity of 6,700,000 carcasses per annum. A single vessel sometimes lands at London TO- GOO carcasses of frozen mutton. At one wharf 10000 to 12,000 of such eareasses are handled daily and one warehouse will hold 250000 of them; all are from Australia and New zea- land. Sheep were imported into Aus tralia with the convicts to Botany bay a little more than century ago, and with the small population and the vast plains for grazing. focks increased so that in 1867 farmer is recorded who for four months of the year boiled down daily from 1000 to 1.500 sheep for their tallow and until 1880 1t was common in Australia and New Zea. land to kill focks of sheep for their hides and tallow, leaving the carcasses to manure the ground, as used to bs done with cattle in South America. There is a difference between frozen and chilled meat. The meat that Eng land receives from America is chilled, but that sent from Australia, 13,000 miles away, must be frozen. Australia and New Zealand have twenty-tWo freezing works in operation, whose total capacity is 1000, 900 carcasses per annum. One of the results of the frozen and chilled meat trade is that people are now able to eat fresh meat who half century ago could only get 1t as a '~yary. Naturally We are less dependent 0 such food than England. but the growing use of refrigerator cars and cold storage houses is giving us variety of diet that was impossible few years ago.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.
Msy Soon wipe Out the Distinctions sf
 Day and Night

Day and Night
 within the next half century artl- ficial light will be so inexpensive, so excellent, and so abundant says 8 scientist, that it will wipe out the demarcations of day and night" He continues: Darkness is one of the forces of nature against which cfv1iiza- tion wages war. It facilitates crime, it impedes travel, it puts arbitrary llm- its on human exertion. The time is coming when darkness will be thor oughly conquered, and the great c1t- ies flooded from end to end with light that will make every vocation or life as easy and as practicable at one hour as another. In this latitude night is undoubtedly the best time to work especially during the summer. The temperature from sunset to sunrise IS cool and equable, there is almost al ways a refreshing breeze, and as soon as darkness is abolished the people will gradually and naturally reverse their hours of toll. I venture the pre- diction that noon in 1850 will see the streets of our great cities deserted, ex- cept for a few midday roysterers and policemen with sunshades. Respect able folks will be abed and asleep, en- toying that delightful repose which we now associate with an afternoon snooze-something, by the way, that should long ago have given us hint that day was the proper time to rest. Then, when the wonderful incandes- cents of the future blaze forth at dusk. everybody will arise invigorated and alert, and get ready to begin the nights work. It is beautiful vision. Whenever I conjure it up, could weep for vexation to think that I sas born 8 century too soon"

JAPANESE BUYING GOODS HERE
Are Building Up Home Industries by
 the Aid of Chicago Machinery.

the Aid of Chicago Machinery.
 Chicago is building up by no means insignificant trade with Japan. The Yankees of the Orient" are quick to discern whatever Is of utility to them h the mechanic arts, and as conse- auence they are supplying themselves Wi'h --sehisery for the development of tae3 Lies direct from the facte- ries : the shores of Lake Michigan. h the history of the entire world no other nation has experienced such remarkable growth in it's commerce with Japan as has the United States. Japanese official figures give the im- portations from the United States in 1893 at 5000, 408 .-en and in 1898 at 40,- 001,097 yen. Meantime her importa tions from England increased from 27,- 929, ,62s yen to 62,707,572 yen: those from Germany from 7,318, ,134 yen to 25,610,96 yen; those from France from 3.305,2 PIT yen to 6,979, ,982 yen, and those from China from 17,095, ,975 zen to 30, 523, ,860 yen, while the only part Of the world which has experienced an tn- crease at all to be compared with that Of the United States is the British East Indies, whose increase has been from s ,679, ,029 in 1893 to 40,764, PA yen in 1898 Japan's importations have grown enormously in the last five years. In 1893 they amounted to 88,257.172 yen and in 1898 to PIT, ,502, ,166 yen. Mean time her exports have grown from 89,- TIP, S64 yen in 1893 to 165, ,753, ,752 yen in 1898. Thus the exports have doubled and the imports have trebled in the pe- riod under consideration. The disposf- tion of Japan is to look to the United States for a constantly increasing pro- portion of it's supplies. Tn 1893 the United States furnished less than ' per cent of the imports into Japan and in 1898 14.4 per cent, while England, the principal competitor in the markets Of the east, which in 1893 furnished g per cent Of Japan's importations, in 1898 furnished 226 per cent, Not only have the producers and exporters of the United States developed in the last few years a disposition to push their sales in that country, but Japan herself is showing a disposition to make her purchases from the nearest markets those of the United states-and has recently established steamship lines connecting with United States ports. Japan by reason of recent events is the nearest neighbor to the United States, aside from those whose territory is ac- tually ontiguous-Canada and Mexico. Her comparatively recent exchange of mainland territory to Russia for the line of islands stretching northwardly l from her central group brings her ter ritory to within about 800 miles of 1 that of the United States in the Aleu- tian chain Of islands, while at the I south her newly acquired island of Formosa lies within less than 200 miles E Of the Philippines. Thus not only are the United States and Japan neighbors territorially. but their insular posses sions combined stretch along the en- tire Pacific coast of Asia from arctic 10 equatorial waters.--Chicago Chron- iele.

FIFTH BIENNIAL REPORT
OF State Board or Agriculture Now nn-
der Way.

Secretary Garvin, of the State
Board of Agriculture, is now hard at
work on the boards filth biennial re-
port, which must be ready for SUBJ
mission to the board at it's next
meeting, October /. to receive its
approval before being submitted to
the Governor.
Mr.. Garvin has altered the plan
of the report for this year. Instead
of statistics, as heretofore, it will
consist largely of articles bearing
on various phases Of agriculture
There will also be some statistics,
but not on so extensive scale as in
the last report. This is owing to
the fact that there are such poor fa-
cilities for collecting statistics Mr..
Garvin has sent out hundreds Of
blank forms inquiring for informa-
tion of farmers and others interest
ed in agriculture, but thus far very
few have replied. He expects that,
with the census report at its dispos-
al, the board will next year be able
to get out another statistical report.

CHaMBERsBURG SARCASM.
Some Suggestions as 10 Where Your
advertisement Should be
plnced

Ii you have goods to sell, advertise
them, Hire man with a lampblack
kettle and brush to paint your name
and number on all the railroad fences.
The cars go whizzing by so fast that
no one can read them, to be sure, but
perhaps the conductor will be oblig-
ing enough to stop the train for in
qulsitiye passengers.
Have your card on the hotel register
by all means. Strangers stopping at
the hotel for the night generally buy
a cigar before leaving town, and need
some inspiring literary food besides.
II an advertising agent wants to
advertise your business In a fancy
frame at the depot, pay him about
200 per cent more than 1t Ii worth
and let him put 1t there. When a
man has three-quarters of second In
which TO catch train he invariably
stops to read depot advertisements,
and your card might take his eye.
OF course the street thermometer
dodge is excellent. When mans
fingers are freezing, or he is putting,
"phewingn at the heat, is the time
above all Others when he reads Their
mometer advertisement.
Print In the BLACKLIST ink a great
sprawling card on all your wrapping
paper. Ladies returning home from
shopping tour like to be a walking
bulletin, and Ii the ink rubs off and
spoils some Of their flnery, no matter.
Don't fail to advertise In every cir
Gus programme. It will help the cir
Gus to pay their bills, and the visitors
can relieve the tedium of the clowns
jokes by looking over your remarks
about 'sten per cent below cost, etc.
A boy with big placard on pole
is an interesting object on the street,
and lends dlgnitied air TO the estab-
lishment. Hire couple.
Patronizing every agent who shows
you an advertising tablet and card,
directory, dictionary, or even an adj
yeftising Bible, II one is offered at a
req enable price, shows that you know
whuFe TO invest your money.
But don't think OF advertising In a
well-established, legitimate newspa-
per. Not for moment. Your adj
vertisement would be nicely printed
and find its way into the thrifty
households Of the region. Chambers
burg (Pa.) Opinion.

MR.. WALKER HURT.
One of the Bridge Builders
Falls From the Structure.

Three Ribs Broken and Head Cut
Fall Was But Seven Feet but the
Place was Fall of Stones aud Tim
bers Where he Alighted- Bridge
Nearly Done-Cheat Bridge to BE
Started Immediately.
Mr.. +. III. Walker of the firm of
Walker Brothers of Charles Town
fell from the new Greenmont bridge
on Thursday afternoon and broke
three ribs besides receiving other
injuries. He was reaching down to
fix something at this end of the
bridge and his foot slipped. He at
tempted to catch himself and tell
the other way The fall took him
down at this end of the abutment on
this end of the bridge, 1t was only
seven feet to Che ground but the
place was full of stones and timbers.
He struck on timber and broke
his ribs. He was picked up and
taken to Miss Gosney's where he
had been staying. DIR. Gibbons was
called and gave him surgical assist
ance. Mr.. Walker cannot lie down
and in consequence is very much
worn out. The injuries are not
thought to be very serious and he
will be out again shortly.
The accident will delay the start
on the Cheat river bridge which was
to have been started on Friday. The
Greenmont bridge is nearing com
pletion and in few days more will
be turned over to the owners. Mr..
S. M. Printz was seen by represen-
tative of this paper and stated that
the bridge would be done within a
few days.
1t is very handsome affair and
is built on IA new principle. The
principle used is that of towers
which support the bridge through
out. 1t can be taken down section
at time or disconnected in any way
without interfering with the strength
of any part that is left standing
Over Cheat the bridge will be a
camel back with over head spans.
The work will be started shortly
and the bridge is to be ready TO turn
over to the county by the middle of
October if nothing unforeseen hap
pens The contract calls for its
completion by January first.
The iron work of this bridge is
now being made in New York and
it will be received here as soon as it
is wanted.

DIR. EEECH VISITS POMPEu.
A Brief Description of The Ascent of
VesuYius.

Rev. DR.. Leech writes from Naples.
sWe had, OF course, splendid days at
Lucerne, Milan, Venice, Bologna,
Florence, Rome and here at Naples, a
great city of 600, 900 population. But
one of our best days was this Satur-
day, Aug 4th. Early this day we
took the train for Pompeii that was
buried in 10 A. ID. by the awful tide
of lava from the adjacent volcano
Vesuvius. For one hundred years
vast excavations have uncovered
much OF the city. Large numbers of
streets, temples, shops, forums, resi-
dences, ETC., appear to-day as they did
eighteen hundred years ago. Statues,
gardens, paintings and fTescoes have
reappeared. To-day we went through
the magnificent Roman home just ex-
cavated. Guided by d government
policeman we traversed the deserted
streets for three hours. At noon we
left Pompeii for the summit of the
volcano, Vesuvius. A carriage took
us three miles. Then the guide and
his assistant furnished us with sad
died ponies for the ascent, by the new
route. For two hours these ponies
clambered along the zig gag roads
dangerously near TO the awful slopes
The extra guide led Fannie's pony.
We looked into ohe terrible crater,
now silent, that covered with lava
Hereulaneum and Pompeii. Near to
the summit the guide had us dis
mount TO lead US up the steep cone,
covered with lava beds and rocks
The guides assisted US but we had
several falls before we reached the top.
Probably the most magnificent pam
Drama of natural scenery on earth
greeted our gaze. The Bay of Naples
with Naples and numerous towns and
cities could be seen around US, as well
as great mountains. We descended
late in the afternoon, and took the
train for Naples reaching here toward
sunset. 1t seems strange that we are
now 5, 900 miles from Morgantown.
On Monday we start for home, spend
ing, en- route nine days at Rome, Pisa,
Genoa, Lyons, Paris, London and
Liverpool The Majestic is due at
New York on Wednesday August %
and | hope to be at home on the fol-
lowing Friday"
