 Strange Effects of This Intense Ligh
 on Human Eyes and Skin.
 In further proof of the often repeated
 statement that electricity,t or rather thu
 Knowledge of electricity enjoyed by tht
 people of the present age. is still in it' infancy, the work recently carried or
 at the works of the Buffalo Union Fur
 mace company stands prominent. Frederick D. Gatchell, chief electri-
 elan of the company, while working
 about the furnaces cameyto notice the immense amount of work necessary tc
 remove "salamander'' from furnace after blowing out. A salamander is a
 mass of iron and refuse in blast fur mace that accumulates when it becomes 1 necessary to clean it out and refine it with flrebrick
 A short time ago when the Buffalo Union Furnace company's "B" furnace was blown out for refining the salaman-
 der proved to be exceedingly hard to drill The regular tooisssased for the purpose drilled so slowly that valuable time was being lost. MT. Gatchell then suggested burning holes in the mass by means of an electric arc. His sugGes- ton was accepted, and the matter plac- ed in his hands and he prepared an ap- paratus for doing the work. MT. Gatchell in describing the undertaking said:
 The apparatus consited of co B. x s. gauge cable for transmitting the power from the dynamos to the carbon and furnace, a switch for disconnecting the cable Is anything should go wrong, a resistance coil of thirty feet of No. 3 cli- max resistance wire, immersed in q barrel of running water tn keep the tempera ture at a fixed point, the car bon and holder. The carbon was made in Cleveland especially for this purpose, and was seventy-two inches long and two inches in diameter The holder was made by our own man and was merely a frame of iron pipe to support the car bon, which was mounted in an iron col- lar which screwed to an iron pipe cov- cred with rubber and fitted at the back end with candle for adjusting the car bon to position.
 Tt required all the power of the two dynamos that usually supply the cleo tricity for Fighting the works and op erating an electric crane.
 "At first, when drilling holes for dy- namite in the salamander at B' fur mace, I used the apparatus with no pro- lection, and it was extremely hot in the You can see from the fact that we had a current of $50 ann peres and a voltage of 220, which repre- sents in the neighborhood of 100 horse power, that the heat generated at the ,rc was considerable. I connected the positive side of the circuit to the fur 1ace, using a water pipe for a binding post, and the negative side to the car- oon. This method of connection was 1sed because the current flows from the , positive side to the negative, and in passing through the salamander, jump ng from these to the carbon, 1t would 1ire or nip at the iron in the salaman- | Ter, and thus cut a hole much faster ! han if the current were jumping from he carbon into the iron, when it would ,nly heat or burn hole into the mass

feet if such pair of cartoons were used in searchlght?" MT. GatcheIl was asked.
 T think it would be possible to throw a shaft of light an unlimited distance. It would reach further than we have any straight line on earth to accommo- date it. but pair of cartoons could not be used in lamp of ordinary construc- tion. The heat generated, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of A. 900 or 5000 degrees, would melt any or dinary lamp the next moment after the current was turned on. That heat would melt platinum and make it run like water. I don't think such pow erful light would be practicable in a lamp or searchlight. although science may yet discover means of using it.. It Is certain we encounte, ed something en- tirely new. No one I have talked with about it seems able to explain the cause of the peculiar effects of the light. ''-- Buffalo Evening News.

bonfires for the arrival of cholera or
 dance breakdown when they were
 condemned to be hanged. When the
 pessmist is popular it must always be
 not because he shows all things to be
 bad, but because he shows some things to be good. Men can, only join in a chorus of praise even if it is the praise of denunciation. The man who is pop ular must be optimistic about some thing even if he is only optimistic about pessimism It is surely worth while to notice in this connection the original and grammatical meaning of the word ''optimist" Practical and infectious optimism has, generally speaking, con- sisted of so much in thinking that all things were good as in thinking that one thing was best. One aftre another almost every one of the phenomena of the universe has been declared to be alone capable of making life worth liv- ing. Books, love business, religion, money, abstract truth, private emotion, money, simplicity, mysticisms, hard work, life close to nature, a life close to Belgrave square, are every one of them passion ately maintained by somebody to be so good that they redeem the evil of an otherwise indefensible world. Thus while the world is almost always con- demned in summary, it is always jus tified, and indeed extolled, in detail af ter detail. The universe, we are told, is bad, but every single item in 1t is more valuable than the universe.
 Now this was most emphatically the case with Byron and his school. What has been called the Byronic pessimism was in truth that much more interest ing feature, the Byronic optimism. The vast army of young Byronic enthusiasts were Byronic because they were opti- mistic. Surely it is ridiculous to main tain seriously that Byron's love of the desolate and inhuman in nature was the mark of vital scepticism and depres sion. When young man can elect de- lberately to walk alone in winter by the side of the shatterng sea, when he takes pleasure in storms and stricken peaks, and the lawless melancholy of the older earth, we may deduce with the certainty of logic that he is very young and very happy. There is a certain darkness which we sec in wine when seen in shadow; We see 1t again in the night that has just buried gorgeous sunset, The wine seems black, and yet at the same time powerfully and al- most impossibly red. The sky seems black, and yet at the same time to be only too dense blend of purple and green. Such was the darkness which lay around the Byronic school. They would prefer the sulen hostility of the earth because amid all the cold and darkness their own hearts were flaming like their own firesides.- s.-Correspond- l ence of the London News.

BYRONtS LETTERS.
More Interesting Than Those of Any
 Other British Poet.

More Interesting Than Those of Any
 Other British Poet.
 Byrons letters are of far more inter- est than those of any other poet, for he was, in high and complimentary sense the most prosaic of poets. It is hard to understand why "prosaic" should be any less complimentary than "poetical '" Byron was even more of an orator than a poet; and his prose and verse show the same cheerful vigor. Cheerful may seem a strange word The charge of pessimism is finally fixed upon Lord Byron, and it seems scarcely reasona- ble at first sight to resent a charge which the victim admitted not so much as confession but as a boast. Byron had sensational popularity, and that popularity was, as far as words and explanations go, founded upon his pes- simism. He was adored by an over whelming majority, almost every indi- vidual of which despised the majority of mankind. But when we come to re- gard the matter little more deeply we tend in some degree to cease to believe in this popularity of the pessimist. The popularity of pure and unadultera- ted pesimism is an oddity; it is almost a contradiction in terms. Men would no more receive the news of the failure of existence or of the harmonious hos tility of the stars with ardor or popu- lar rejoicing than they would light

FARMING MATTERS,

Pastoral industries are growing in
eastern Colorado. Long ago it was
predicted in these columns that the
great plains beyond the line of irri-
CATION would be utilized for the graz
ing and feeding of cattle and sheep
not the old range industry. but fenced
pasture with forage grown for winter
feed. In Saturday mornings News
staff correspondent reviewed the prog
ress made in this line in Lincoln and
Cheyenne counties and in adjacent see
tions. Extended pastures are being
purchased and fenced. forage crops for
winter feed are being raised and farm
ing on a limited scale is being prac-
ticed. Water raised from wells by
windmills furnish a supply for cattle
and for domestic uses. and many pec-
pie are making homes and a competen-
cy on the once unprOductive plains.
Within the last two years the number
of windmills in the two counties
named has more than doubled This
shows the relation of water supply
to the settlement of this portion of the
state, and leads TO the hope that when
the government. under the recent irri-
CATION bill, begins TO test the capacity
of this region to furnish artesian wa
ter, a great impetus will be given to
the progress of eastern Colorado coun-
ties.-Denver News.

Lamb-Feedine Experiments.

C. j. Griffith of the Colorado expert
meut station. connected with the Ac-
ricultural College, this month makes
report on some experiments in lamb
feeding that is of interest. There were
four lots of lambs. Nine We're Shrop-
shire grades and the balance We're
common natives
Lot l was fed wheat. barley and oats
and given cold water to drink. Lot
was fed wheat. barley and oats and
alfalfa and given warm water to
drink. Lot had corn. alfalfa and
warm water. Lot had corn. alfalfa
and cold water. The lambs were put
on this feed January 23d and fed until
May I'd. Grain. hay and water were
supplied twice daily and the oats which
remained uneaten weighed back once
each day. The warm water was
given at temperature approNimating
that of brook water in the summer
time. The cold water was drawn from
the hydrant and the temperature was
not changed in the least except by the
atmosphere.
Lots l and .. the grain fed lots, show
an average gain of 134 pounds. Lots

average of 1908 pounds. For these
gains it took an average of Ss1 pounds

for each lot. One pound of gain was
made from four pound of wheat, bar
ley and oats in lots l and >, or three
and four-tenths pounds of corn in lots
3 and 4. This shows corn to have been
worth three-SeVenteenthS more for fat
tening lambs than a mixture of wheat

Compared with corn which was selling
for eighty cents per hundred-weight.
wheat. barley and oats We're worth
$50 cents per hundred-weight. for fat
tening lambs and at 81 per hundred
weight, which was the price of these
grains at this time. there was a loss of
34.1 cents per hundred-weight of these
grains fed as compared to feeding corn.
At the prices of corn and these grains
for the past winter these figures would
be changed somewhat.
The Shropshire grades in lot l made
an average total gain of 35.5 pounds,
the others 35.5. In lot the average
total gain of the ShropshireS was 1868.
of the native lambs 265. In lot the
Shropshire averaged 4O.6 pounds, the
native lambs thirty-six. In lot
the ShropShires averaged forty three
pounds. the other two lambs 2S5
pounds.
The nine Shropshires in the expert
ment averaged 391 pounds gain. The
seven native lambs averaged thirty-one
pounds, or 21.S per cent. less than the
Shropshires This shows the advan-
tage OF good blood used upon the native
ewes.
