THE new ELECTRIC LAMPS.
LATE NOVELTIES ARE USEFUL
AND ORNAMENTAL
Portable Lights For Use in CellArs,
Closets and Other Places Where
Use Of Ordinary Lamps
II Dangerous

Some novelties in electric lighting
arrangements have recently been in
troduced into the market. One Of these
Is a portable light such as a house
keeper might like to have for making
excursions into the cellar, hunting for
burglars in the dead Of night, or for
%rummaging In closets or dark attics
where any other sort Of light would
carry with It a danger Of setting fire
to the house. 1t could be used in safe
ty for looking for a gas leak under cir
cumstances where the usual seeker
carrying a lamp or lighting matches is
apt to be landed in a hospital imme-
diately after finding the leak. The
lamp is a little cylindrical affair with
an electric blow light at one end and
the battery which supplies the current
hidden In the cylinder. A touch Of the
finger makes the lamp glow, and 1t
ceases to give light as soon as the fin.
ger is removed.
Another handy lamp is one for night
use In bedrooms, which Is adapted to
take its current from the ordinary dry
batteries that are in common use for
ringing call bells and such purposes.
This can be put up permanently beside
a bed or set In a chair with wires con-
Meeting 1t with the battery. For the
workshop a clever new arrangement is
a socket for an incandescent lamp,
which conceals the windings Of an
electromagnetic and has its core ex.
tending through and beyond 1t at the
top. The current going to the lamp
energizes the magnet, and the work
man can hang his lamp up anywhere
he can find a rod, a pipe or a plate Of
iron to press 1t against. The magnet
will hold 1t there as long as he wishes.
For household use there Is a new
lamp which contains two separate fla
ments each fed by Its own wire in the
socket. Each flament may be Of eight.
candle power, in a lamp for an ordin-
airy sixteen-candle power socket, or Of
double that or more, as required. A
turn Of the button In one direction
lights up one alament, or a turn in the
other direction lights up both, doubl-
ing the power Of the light. With only
one filament glowing, only half the
current Is used-that Is, taken when
both are lighted.
Some manufacturers have begun to
make fancy bulbs for the i%ncandescent
lamp, ornamentlng them with pretty
patterns by means Of the sand blast or
making the lower part Of the bulb
white in the same way and thus re-
ducing the glare of the light thrown
downward. Since the business Of re-
pairing burnt-out lamps has grown to
large proportions and the work Is done
cheaply, the investment in fancy bulbs
for the household could not be looked
upon as an extravaganza. A foreign
manufacturer makes a bulb covering
of a spiral Of glass wire, the purpose
Of which is to reflect and refract the
rays of light emitted by the flament
within in such a way as to make the
whole bulb appear to glow instead of
ones seeing only the brilliant line Of
the flament itself.

Schley's Memory to be Kept
Green.

A movement has been started
for the erection of a handsome
triumphal arch to Admiral Win
field Scott Schley, to commemor
ate the deeds of the admiral and
the men under him at the battle
Of Santiago.
The Schley Triumphal Arch
Association of Baltimore City
was incorporated Monday by DR..
Henry Vincent Walls, DR.. Mel
cher EkstrOmeI, Charles S. Burk
hart, James Gorrell and Henry
G. Broadly.
The arch will be erected by
popular subscription and will be
designed and b lit by Maryland
talent. Competitive designs by
native Marylanders will be asked
for. The top of the arch will be so
arranged that at some future day
a stature of the admiral can be
placed thereon. The Central
Trust Co. will be the depository.
a number of prominent men have
been asked to serve as vice -presi
dents of the association.
At a meeting of the origina, Ors
of the plan in the office OF Henry
Jewell Bready, the following Off
GERS were chosen:
President, DR.. Henry V. Walls,
associate professor of surgery al

ago. Take meats for Instance. The
quantity of roast beef purchasable now
for 81 shows decrease Of "a per cent;
Of rump steak, 797 per cent; of veal,
% 50 per cent; of mutton, 80 SO per cent;
of fresh pork. 2s. 10 per cent; of salt
pork, 25.2 81 per cent; of lard, 40.l3 per
cent; of butter, 20 10 per cent; Of pota-
toe. II IL per cent; of milk, lila per
cent. In 1897 the buyer could purchase
g. S. pounds of roasting beef for 81. He
can get only 5.7l pounds in 1902. One
dollar in 1897 would buy 1856 pounds
of soup beef. The purchaser in 1902
must be content with pounds less.
One dollar five years ago would buy
1856 pounds of veal flrequarter, or laos
pounds of mutton fOrequarter, or 80
pounds of mutton (legl, or 10 pounds OF
fresh pork. Now the marketer must he
content with Oh pounds of veal fore

or 7.l9 pounds of fresh pork.
These are only few instances OF the
marked decline in the purchasing
power of the dollar in the past 1--WE years.

there is some compel satlor IN the de-
creased price OF groceries. com parison

ing void in the purse of the perplexed

show decline in price. Boston has tc

FIXED BOUNDARY LINE.
Frederick and Washington
County Commissioners Set
tie Long Dispute.

The County Commissioners
have settled the boundary dispute
with the commissioners of Wash
ington county, involving the tax
alton privileges on certain lands
along the line around Blue Ridge
Summit.
This question had never been
settled right until last Monday,
when the officials of the two coun-
ties got together and by eXamina-
tion of the records decided upon
The county line for all time. A
number of property owners in that
section were paying taxes i'll
Washington county and others
escaped altogether.
The Frederick County Commits
sioners were convinced that there
was some injustice in this and
some time ago arranged for a
meeting with the commissioners
of Washington county.
There were present last Monday
Blentlinger, Etzler, Harne and
Snouffer, Clerk G. Z. Aushermau,
Attorney A. d. Willard, and
County Surveyor RACER from this
county, and the Washington
County Commissioners and their
clerk, John Waggaman, and Sur
veyor Piper. A survey was made.
According to a survey made in
1924 the starting point of the
Frederick Washington county line
was a stone forty, six perches west
of a certain stone on the Mason
and Dixon line, and located be-
tween two chestnut trees, The
starting point was easily dis
covered on Monday, but the two
trees have long since disappeared.
OF the properties in question two
were found to be in Frederick
county. These were the proper
ties of Mrs. George Baer and Miss
NJ. E. Cook, both of Baltimore
A vacant lot owned by Mrs. Mar
garet McComas was also discov.
cred to be in this county.
The property owners made some
objection to the new order Of

hill if he does not resort to vic.
lence in his efforts to assert his
own claim, but if he resists the
Japanese authorities it is more
than probable that the affair will
grow into serious complications,
which will involve the cordial re-
lations which have always existed
between the United States and
that country.
1t is generally believed that
President Roosevelt in planning
an extensive western trip for this
fall, and in requesting his Cabinet
officers to speak from the platform
in support of his administration,
is following the inspiration of
President Cleveland, who secured
the nomination of his party in the
face of opposition by the Demo
cratic leaders. It's believed that
Mr.. Roosevelt clearly appreciates
the efforts which are being, CO.
verify but not the less surely,
made to prevent his nomination
for a second term and that he re
lies on his ability to capture pub
lie sentime. to force the Repub-
lican leaders to nominate him in
1904. The President has frankly
avowed his desire of securing the
nomination to succeed himself and
a careful scrutiny of the callers
at Oyster Bay during his vacation
will reveal the care with which he
is laying his plans and the effort
he is making to establish himself
in an impregna position.
Friends of the President take
great pride in what they cal

roster of the Congressman who

sentatives.

Melon Diseases.

Last year many cantalOupe
fields were ruined by the blight,
which starts aS more or less round
brown spots on the leaves, which
enlarge until the leaf is killed.
Spraying frequently with Bor-
deaux mixture on both sides of
the leaves seems to largely pre-
vent this disease, which is APP
pearing again this year. Another
serious melon disease, causing the
whole vine to wilt, is becoming
destructive this year. 1t is well
to watch for the appearance OF
this trouble and before it becomes
abundant in the field, pull out
and burn the willing vines to
prevent infection of OF hers.

gist, College Park, Md, would
like to receive information re-
garding the occurrence of these
or any other plant diseases in the
State. Specimens of any diseased
plants or weeds can be wrapped
in paper and mailed. Postage
on such will be returned. 1t is
hoped that those interested in the
control of weeds and plant dis
eases will send specimens of those
most troublesome, as the depart
ment wishes to know the distri-
button of these in the State.

Premium For Gold Dollars.

The United States gold dollar
is so scarce that dealers in old
and rare coins are advertising for
them, offering from $3.50 to $500
apiece for as many as they can
get. Since 1899 the United States
minis have not coined any gold
dollars. Since then their value
has increased steadily. In the
mint in Philadelphia where the
dies for all the United States
currency are made, reporter
from the Philadelphia Times was
recently given the present value
of the gold dollar of 1899. Those
marked G. Carson City, are
worth from S1.70 to $3.50. Those
marked ID. (Denver) are worth
from 80 to 80 90; those marked S.
(San Francisco) are worth from
80 to 50 and those without any
mark, indicating they were minted
in Philadelphia, are worth from
$3.50 to SI.7O.
