Heat From Electric Lamps.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 From one point of view it is to be re- gretted that electric lamps throw out so little heat. For many household tasks heat Is demanded, and far beyond the electricians ability of economical supply. Twelve lamps of standard size, each of sixteen-candle power. require for their maintenance one horsepower. Clustered together. these twelve bulbs would ask one minute in raising a pint of water through forty degrees of the Fahrenheit scale. Clearly enough, their heat would never suffice to broil a steak or roast a chicken. And In the production of cleo tric heat no device is one whit more eff fective than the incandescent lamp. What, then, is the secret of this costl- ness. prohibitive as 1t Is for all but minor and casual uses? Let us adjourn to a central lighting and power station. and all will become clear. The boilers and engines, although the best to be had, are wasting nine-tenths of the heat pur- veyed to them. Part of this wasted heat is thrown out into the boiler house and engine room, much large fraction goes up the chimney in gases highly heated, but much of the largest loss of all ap- pears in the exhaust steam as it pours forth from the engines. Thus it is evil dent that if the electric current, as fast as produced, were then and there con- verted into heat once more, only about one-tenth as much would appear as that originally applied in the fuel under the neighboring boilers. If we can suppose an electric company generous enough to charge no interest for it's invested capi- tal nothing for its outlays in wages, re- pairs, and other expenses, the heat pro- ducible from its electric current would still be much dearer than the heat to be had from good. well-stoked furnace or stove.

Selma won from Birmingham yesterday because the boys from the North bank of the Alabama river played the better ball. They had on their batting clothes and landed on the sphere for sixteen safe drives, three of which were doubles and one a triple. Birmingham could not lo- cate Cribbins and were retired in one, two, three order in five of the nine in- nings. The locals made only four hits one a two-bagger by Moss in the third inning

Diamond Notes.

The Selma team returned to Selma last night and the Birminghams will leave to- morrow morning for the Central City. After playing three games there Birming- ham will go to Chattanooga for three games Thursday, Friday and Saturday and then to Nashville for three games with Fishers men. They will return home for six games, beginning with May 16, Chattanooga and Nashville being the opposing teams in those two series.
 The attendance at local games has been larger than in any other city In the Southern Association. The paid admis- sions for the three games aggregate over 4500.
 Percy Clarke was the happiest man in Alabama last night. He was the only one of the Selma rooters to remain for yesterdays game. He was as proud over the victory of the Selma Cotton Pickers as a small boy is over his first pair of red top boots.

 Another Big Crowd.
 Ant ,her great crowd went out to the Se,enth street park to see the final game between Birmingham and Selma The two victories Mills men had won from the Central City boys had encouraged the local fans to hope for three straights. Judging from Fridays game, the third should have been easy for the Birming- hams, but that element of luck that makes baseball the most popular of all outdoor sports favored the visitors, who came out of the contest with flying col ors. Notwithstanding Cribbins pitched a hard game on Thursday, he was sent to the box by Manager Fender and held the local sluggers down to four hits. He was given fautless support and tucked away one victory in his percentage column.
 GiIen Was Retired.
 Gillen failed to fool the Selma batters, yielding five hits and five runs in the first two innings. after which he gave way to Gordan Hickman. a Birmingham boy, who is being given a trial by Man. ager Mills. Hickman pitched a good game, considering that 1t was his first professional game. He was a little uri- steady in his first inning, sending one man to first on balls. allowing two hits. one a -bagger, and three runs. In the next six innings nine hits and four runs were made by the visitors.
 Hickman was given an ovation when he went in the box and again when he went to bat The rooters were all pulling for him, but the odds were too great against him.
 In the fourth inning Culver went to the right field and Harlow took his place be- hind the bat.

The credit of the present strong
growth of Canon City is due to the
work of her progressive citizens.
These men have taken hold and adopt
ed means to let outsiders know what
Canon City offers to capitalists and
investors.
The number of buildings being erect
ed is not indicative of any boom, but
are just being built in response to
demand which our townsmen are
doing their best to fill. The subject
of our sketch has certainly done his
share in this respect, he having erect
ed eight residences last year. Mr..
d. X. Jones came here from Kansas
some five years ago and being i'm
pressed with the future of the city,
became interested in the real estate
business. This he relinquished a
short time ago, selling out to Messrs.
Hodgin & Kennedy, and he now de-
votes his entire attention to the man
agement of his own property, whicn
is to be found in all sections of the
city.

all those traits of character that go

istic of him. Several years ago he
became connected with the First Ma
tional bank, of which he is at present
president, and in this line of work he
has attained a splendid reputation,
not only for himself, but for the bank.
This spring, at the earnest solicita
ton of the progressive citizens Of Ca

large majority is a fitting testimonial
to his sterling worth. The people Of
Canon City, irrespective of political
affiliations, feel that better man
could not have been selected, for his
past career is a guarantee that the
city's affairs will be administered in
manner that will not only reflect
credit upon the mayor, but will at
the same time be for the public good.
