Far-off Northland
NEW TYPE OF ARC LAMP.

DR.. Bang, the well-known Danish
physician. has constructed new cleo
tr!e lamp which is likely to prove of
great importance. even outside the
field for which he has intended it. In
the ordinary arc lamp the carbons are
heated to some 5000 degrees. but
DR.. Bang has succeeded in avoiding
this high temperature by making the
cgrbons hollow and letting \ strong
current of water run through them.
The effect is very singular. Almost
the whole OF the energy of the electric
current is removed to the light arc
between the two electrodes, while the
latter themselves remain so cool that
one can touch them with ones fingers
while the lamp is burning. In addition
to this the carbons are consumed so
slowly that the usual automatic adjust
ment can be dispensed with. In sci
.ence the new lamp will no doubt be
invaluable, says Engineering; its cold
light is able to kill bacteria in one
eighteenth of the time required with
the light of the ordinary lamp. The
electrodes can be made from different
substances, according to the use for
which the lamp is intended. For
medicinal purposes, carbon, silver and
certain kinds of iron appear prefer
able. Metallic electrodes have been
used for several years by doctors, put
they have had many drawbacks; they
gave a great heat the metal melted
etc. and 1t was necessary to place the
patient at a comparatively great dis
lance from the lamp All these OBJ
jections have been overcome or,
rather, entirely removed--in DR..
Bangs lamp, which is very smaTl and
handy, and in which consumption of
electricity is exceedingly small.

Consolidated de Beers mines, which
yielded vast results. Soon after the
formation came the discovery of the
great Transyaal gold fields. and their
exploitation by Rhodes & Co. His
plans for territorial expansion for
English interests on great scale
led to the formation Of the British
South Africa company This was
formed to open up, improve and adj
minister Malonaland and all other
Bechuana countries up to the Fam
best. One of the results was the
Matabele war and the defeat and
death of King LobeAgula. The
jameson raid across the Transva4
border was probably due to the in
fiuence of Cecil Rhodes, for he has
never denied completely with it, and
as its result he resigned in 1896 as
prime minister of Cape Colony. He
had been maintained in that office
through Dutch influence, and Mr..
Shreiner. later premier, was at that
time his trusted lieutenant DR..
jameson was punished for his~eonnec-

rather damaging revelation brought
out against Mr.. Rhodes at the British
parliamentary inquiry, it was permit

On his last visit to Europe he was
received with favor on nearly every
side. He had several interviews with
the German emperor, who gave a din

the German government franchise
to build railway and telegraph line
through German territory in Africa.
This was long step toward carrying
out one of his great dreams of a
"Cape-to-Cairo" railway. In Eng.

Rhodes with the degree of D. c.. l..

EiNNS PROTEST.

A protest against Russian aggres-
sion bearing the signatures of 100000
Finnish men and women-more than
one-fifth of the total population--has
been sent to the cZar. who failed to
pay any attention to it. The ministers
in many parishes have refused to pro
claim the new CONSUMPTION law from
their pupils on account of its uncon-
stitutionaity, and in other parishes
the reading of the law has been inter.
rupted by the congregations.
A scene Characteristic of the tactics
of the Russian government as well as
of the temper of the people occurred
in country church a few Sundays
ago. The regular parish minister
having refused to read the obnoxious
law, although knowing that his refusal
exposed him to dismissal and punish
ment, the authorities prevailed on an
other and less scrupulous clergyman
to do the reading.
The moment the stranger appeared
in the pulpit, a venerable old member
of the congregation arose.
We will not listen to anything that
is Illegal" he announced That act
has been passed in violation of the
law of the land
The whole congregation then arose
in body and marched out singing

Cecil Rhodes. who is often described
ed as the man who made south
Africa" is reported to be dying. Mr..
Rhodes was formerly premier of
Cape Colony, and is certainly the most
prominent and powerful man in south
Africa. He is likewise the wealthiest
man in that section. He has
achieved that place in twenty-nine
years. In 1873 he left Oxford because
of serious lung trouble, and went to
the cape in search of health. He is
the youngest son of an English clergy
man, and was born at Bishop Stort-
ford, on July 5, 1853 He did not go
to south Africa to seek diamonds, but
because his physician had ordered a
change. He continued his studies
while living in Natal, and returned to
Oxford each year until he took his
degree at Oriel college.
1t is hardly too much to say that
Mr.. Rhodes has made his fortune in

TO PLAY PlNG-PONG.
Another Description of the Game Now
Becoming Popular.

Becoming Popular.
Ping-pong. or table tennis, as it is be-
ing called of late, is rapidly working
its way into the good graces of the
American people. Although the game
has been played off and on for the past
fifteen years, it has only become pop
ular during the past year.
1t would now seem as though half
the country is ping-pong crazy. The
game has been introduced into clubs,
and hundreds of hotels are also putt
ing in tables for the amusement of
their guests.
The bats are made somewhat SIM
liar to tennis racket, only about
third as large. and are either strung
with catgut or stretched with cover
ing of thin sheepskin. The sheepskin
racket gives a strange sound, from
which the game originally got its
name, ping-pong. The balls are made
of very thin celluloid and are white.
They have considerable life or elias
ITCHY and are very strong. Even
when they are driven against a hard
surface they will rebound without
injury to the ball. The court is
marked out on piece of felt, or
table painted green. The latter is
generally as large as fairly good
sized dining room table. The net is
stretched across the centre OF the
court and clamped on to the sides OF
the table. The game is played the
same as outdoor tennis, with a few
necessary exceptions, and the server
has but one serve instead of two.
The game is by no means confined
to this country. London society long
ago went wild over the new and now
pet pastime, and, like golf, ping-pong
has already a set of terms that des-
cribe the different plays. The ping
pong dictionary to date is as follows:
Back-hand Play-The bat is grasped
with the knuckles outward. This
style is very useful for half volleying.
Break-See screw.
Courts-Ping- pong table. Nine feet
long by five feet wide. Is divided in
middle by the net
Crouch Smash-An invention OF the
t[uSiASI All
stroke made at the edge of the table,
the player being at crouching posi-
ten.
Dead ball-The ball is dead after
the second bounce from the time it
leaves tie players racket and cannot
then he hit
Diagonal Play-From corner to cor
ner diagonal play. II usually means
brief rallies.
Drive-A hard, straight stroke with
no screw
Fore-hand Play-The racket is held
with the palm of the hand facinG the
bali. Good for drives.
Half Volley-Purely defensive. fhe
ball is taken at the moment of bounc-
ing and rebounds almost by its OWL
impetus.
Left. in serving, the ball touches
the net and then lands in the right
court it is let and counts to no one
in returns a ball counts as usual.
Raliy-Along succession of return!
Returns-A reply to service.
Screw-The spin on ball impar;e
