1t is well known that the higher the
temperature of the source the more
economical is the resultant light. 1t is
for this reason that the carbon fiiament
Of our incandescent lights replaces the
coil Of platinum wire first employed.
A filament of osmiuE. has great ad-
yantages over carbon, since oEmlum
has higher fusion point than any
other metal 1t was formerly iLnprac-
ticabIe to obtain esmium in any other
form than that Of pulverulcnt or
spongy mass, but Herr Auer Won Wells
bach has lately devised method OF
making osmium exactly suitable for
lamp tilaments.
Electricity From Coal.
A solution to the problem of how to
obtain electricity from coal has, 1T IS

a Chicago chemist. He has procured a
patent on battery which he declares
will reyolutionize modern methods OF
procuring power and which will make
futile Edson's lahors for the last few
years in trying TO solve the problem.
The claim IS made for Mr.. Jones bat
terry that it will yiei1 50 per cent OF the
energy that is stared up in COAL or
four times as much as the present COM

An Important opinion.

In case of Whitaker vs. Watson m extended opinion was handed Town by the state supreme court last week on the matter of payment of poll-tax. The matter arose over contested election case in Jackson county between rival candidates for he office of mayor of Newport In .he course of his opinion on the sub ject of the poll-tax, Mir. Justice Bat lie said
 "Many persons voted for the ap- pellant for mayor at the election in question who had not paid their poll taxes, or previously registered or sub sequently undertook to reimburse those who had done so Three per sons paid the tax for them and de- Iligered to them q receipt of the col lector showing that the tax had been paid. Upon exhibiting the receipts to the judges of election they were permitted to vote. Whitaker con tends that they had the right to vote md their votes hould be counted, and Watson insists they should not.
 "The object of the requirement of | the constitution for the exhibition of poll-tax or other evidence of its payment is to make the payment of l this tax by the elector condition upon which he shall be allowed to vote, and to prohibit him from vot- ling until he does so. We conceive the object and intent of this provis- ion of the constitution to be not only to induce the citizens to whom the right of suffrage is granted to con tribute to the support of the com mon schools, for which the tax is levied. but to exclude from voting the citizen who does not take an in- lrest in the welfare of his country or value his vote sufficiently to pay a fnoll-tax. He however, need not pay the tax in person, but may, in good faith. authorize another to pay it for him, or, if another has done so with out having been previously author ized, he may adopt or ratify the act. but he must do so with bona tide intent and promise to reimburse him. In this way only can the voter be secured in the free and untrammeled exercise of his right of suffrage. The acceptance of the payment of poll tax as a gift tends to induce him to so vote as to pleose the partisan can didatc, or other person, who paid the same for him. This is contrary to the spirit of the requirement of the constitution. Anything, either in payment of taxes for him or in any other way which may induce the voter to take his ballot contrary to his will and his choice unchanged, Is bui species of bribery and can not be tolerated by the law"

The editors caller had finished his business and risen to go when the office boy came ill and laid some letters on the desk. On top of the pile was postal card, and with the divided mind common to busy men, the editor ran an eye along the lines while he still gave ear to what his friend was saying. The card, however, finally won his attention, and with word of apology he took it up.
 Listen" he said. This man wants me to know what he thinks of an editorial we printed the other day, and this is the way he begins: You profess independence in poli- tics, but if my son, who is only fif- teen, didn't know enough to dis cover, by reading between the lines, that you are consumate hypocrite, should never expect him to develop brains enough to become qualified voter, let alone an intelligent one. Your carefully yelled but cowardly attack and so he goes on. But this is the reason I called your attention to it," and he held the card up and pointed to the place where the writer's name should have been. The signature was missing.
 "Ah," said the caller, "its anon ymous?"
 "Yes," the editor continued, land the very faults it complains of are the ones which the writer shows so plainly himself-coward- ice and hypocrisy. Its usually so with anonymous letters. Every man has right to his opinion, and a right to express it if he wants to; but he should be willing to stand for it. When he refuses to make himself known, or hides be- hind an assumed name, l set him down for a sneak.
 "Such people remind me of boys who throw things in school when the teachers back is turned, or of the man who shoots from behind a hedge because he doesn't dare come out into the open. l should like to provide every one of them with rubber stamp like this, " and he wrote "A. Moral Coward Esq" at the bottom of the card and tossed it into the waste-basket.
 The editors attitude toward the unknown writer was that, not only of those who make papers, but of most self respecting people who read them. Anonymous letters, even if printed, are justly held to express the views of persons who lack the courage of their convic- tions. Their opinions have no weight because, as the editor put it, they are afraid to stand for'' them. Every letter that is worth writing is worth signing. Youth $ Companion.
