EACH LAMP A SMALL SUN.
feets His Rema arkable Daylight Illumina tion."

Nicola Tesla has at last perfected his new system of electric lighting daylight illumination, it may be called and he hopes to have it soon intro- duced into general use. Under full head of electricity the lamp has the color of ice in the sun. There are neither wires nor carbon fi.aments to break or burn out.
 The lamp may be described as a nest of glass tubes, bent in rectangu- lar form. Each lamp has about 20 feet of the white flaming tubes. Into this square coil of hollow glass of the diameter of ones finger electricity is sent quivering from Tes,a's oscillator.
 Tes.a's oscillator, which he believes is the key for solving the most impor- tant electrical problems of the day, causes electrical vibrations of incon- ceivable speed. These vibrations turn the atoms of the gases in the tubes into, as it were. little comets. which shoot through the inclosed space with tremendous rapidity, leaving trains of light behind. This sudden starting and stopping of the current produces continuous light, neither of the incan- descent nor of the arc light character, but purely solar. In other words, each lamp is little sun.

DP. Mary Walker Calls on the Wife of Gov. Odell During Holding
 of Social Function.

Dr. Mary Walker. crowned with a new silk hat and switching a rattan cane. nearly broke up Mrs. Odell's "at home" at the executive mansion at Albany, N. Y., the other afternoon. The doctor has been at Albany for sev- eral days lobbying in the interest of her hospital bill. She walked over to the executive mansion to pay her re- spects to the wife of the governor and found 300 prominent Albany society women there. Elbowing her way be tween the stylishly-dressed women and holding her silk hat in her hand, she grasped Mrs. Odell by the hand and said: Mrs. Odell, I am Dr. Mary Walker. I called over to pay my re- spects. I should like to see the gov ernor if he is at home."
 "The governor is at the capitol" said Mrs. Odell. pleasantly.
 "So sorry," murmured the doctor.
 "I am also sorry." said Mrs. Odell. twill you not go through the mansion and inspect it"
 The doctor would and did. followed by nearly every other woman in the reception-room.

When went to Holland as boy" said the shrewd old inventor, .I had an experience with ordinary army methods have never fofgotten. It seems there was guard posted at certain corner for some twenty-odd years. The sentry was relieved every four hours or so without the slightest question during all that time.
 "Finally some one began to question why a guard was posted at that par ticu.ar corner at al. A laborious search was instituted among the old army records. and finally, to the amuse- ment of everybody, the reason for that that fence was painted on that cor ner, and to keep the people from soiling their clothes some well-disposed officer stationed soldier with a gun there. The paint dried on the fence and the fence fell down. and the corner was built up with another building, but the sentry still paced his beat there for 20 years or more.

EXPEDITION TO LABRADOR.
Scientists Arranging for study of Geography, Geology, Botany,
 Zoology, Mine raiOgy, Etc.

A geological and geographical expe- dition to Labrador. Iceland and Green- land is being planned at Eoston for the coming summer. Last summer five Harvard men went to Labrador. with Dr. K. A. Daly, of the university mu- scum. department of geology a:.d geog- raphy. This years expedition, which is also under Dr. Daly, promises to be much larger and more elaborate.
 As banned at present. the expedition will have large steamer and take GU men, if that number can be found who wish to go. In this party it is hoped to have students of geography, geology, botany, zoology, mineralogy and all branches of natural history. The expedition is not limited to Ameri- cans, but men of all nationalities are asked to go. A doctor will attend the men. ~
 Explanatory lectures will be given on the regions visited from time fo time by the leader of the expedition. Labrador will be investigated again.
 The expedition will start June 26 and return on September 20.
 Labrador will not be the limit of the expedition. The men will go north to examine the lava fields. geysers and fjords of Iceland and the glaciers of West Greenland. A hunting party is to be landed on the west coast of Green land and in Labrador for short time.

Wisconsin LegislatOr Plans to O1eR Premiums to Mothers of

Freak legislation has broken out again in the Wisconsin legislature in the form of two sensational bills relat- ing to matrimony.

Mothers of a family of six children are to receive ten dollars annually; mothers of seven SIP; mothers of eight. $l5; mothers of nine. $2O; mothers of ten, $25; mothers of II, $50, and mothers of 12 or more, $35.

SECURE OIL FIELDS CHEAP.
Claims on Idle PetROlsuD Lands.

The petroleum district about Rosalia is stirred by the filing of placer claims covering large area of government land contiguous to farms on which the best petroleum and gas indications have been found. This land is known as "scab" land, has been untillable and has lain idle for years. because nobody would pay the taxes. The problem has been solved by score of Spokane min CTS. who took the fields up as placer claims, thereby securing control of vast acreage, which is undoubtedly un- derlaid with petroleum. Miners pro- pose to do only enough work to hold the title and will await developments on adjoining lands to determine the value of their holdings.

LAMB BREAKS UP A SCHOOL.
Animal Much Resembling Mary's Re-
 sents E1orts of Teacher to Pat Him Out, UDsetting Stove.

In 30 seconds snow-white lamb, belonging to a flock that was being driven past the new schoolhouse on the Short Tract road the other day at Nunda, N. Y., routed the entire school, frightened Miss Alice Ray, the teach CT, into mysteries. and forced the trus- tees to hold special session to ap- propriate money to repair the damage the lamb had done.
 "It's the sweetest little lamb, just the kind that followed Mary to school" Miss Ray said to her pupils as the lamb dashed into the room The pupils thought so, too, until Miss Ray began to pet the lamb and show 1t toward the door. Then the little animal began racing around the schoolroom. It collided with the stove and knocked leg from under it and it fell in heap. The coals scattered all over the floor, starting fire.
 Miss Ray and the pupils broke for the door and escaped, followed by a blinding smoke. They carried snow and water and put out the fire. The lamb was extricated by John Bennett, who was driving the flock. Miss Ray went home suffering from nervous Hrostration and school broke up for the day.

Russian Outp0sts Near at Hand.
 In the Behring straits Russia and America shake hands. Big Diomede island and Little Diomede stand side by side, the former Russia's outpost, the other our own. A little strip of narrow sea lies between the two, and so clear is the air on fair day that it seems as if from one island you could easily reach across hand to the other. North, across Kotzeline sound, is Point Hope, barren sand spit, extending far into the Arctic sea. It is the home of tribe of Es- kimos, who go to the mission school and church and learn to sing hymns, to speak little English and to use soap.
