PROGRESS IN ILLUMINATING.
The Nernst Lamps Progress in This
Country,


Country.
In this country the novel illuminant
is the Nernst lamp. Abroad it is the
acetylene lamp. The Continental pa
pers are full Of descriptions Of public
installations of acetylene. Most Eu-
ropean countries provide stringent reg
ulations governing the use and storage
of carbide. Acetylene has now been
ON the market fully ten years, but in
this country it has found but a modest
field of application. IN France, Aus
tTaa and Germany, however, there are
many public and private acetylene
plants. One interesting little plant at
Zirkau. in Austria, has been in opera
ton for live years, and is reported to
have given no trouble whatever. 1t reg
ularly supplies about 1000 lights, in
cluaing lamps on the highways, in the
public parks, hotels, apartment houses,
chapels, and, curiously enough, in an
old 18th century castle.
Reverting TO the Nernst lamp, it's
adoption by public and private plants
throughout this country, during the
year it has been on the market, has
been simply phenomenal According to
the very best authorities upward Of
100 plants have already been equipped
in whole or in part with it. The Hart
ford plant was the first station to
adopt it On an extensive scale, and this
progressive little Connecticut town has
about 1000 Nernst glover lamps in
use. 1t is asserted that the same illum-
ination can be secured as with mean
descent lamps, at about One-half the
cost. The lamp is being introduced
into factories, halls, Office buildings,
banks, etc. A number of the large
manufacturing concerns in the neigh
borhood of Pittsburg have recognized
its advantages and many of the pack
their stock yards. For drafting work
it is said to be greatly superior to the
incandescent lamp, being uniform and
steady. and of specially desirable
color. The city of Oshkosh has re-
Gently adopted this style lamp for
street lighting.
Acetylene is being adopted on the
street sweeps used In Hamburg.
Street cleaning in Hamburg is all done
at night, when the highways are COM
paratively free from traffic, and when
the dust incident to the operation is
not an annoyance to the public at
large. In order that the machines may
be as effective as possible they are
constructed withopt springs, to ensure
a continuous contact of the rotary
brush. The jelting and vibration of
any lamp carried on these sweepers is
destructive to most types, but the ace
tylene lamps appearto bequite satisfac-
tory The lamps resemble those used
by cyclists, and carry sufficient carbide
for whole shift. They are carried
at the side of the sweepers, and are
designed like a headlight to throw
powerful beam of light upon the road
way in front of the machine.

A Large Cotton Crop-Lower Prices.

1t begins to appear as il the supply
OF cotton this year will be fully equal
to all requirements, and the cotton
planters Of the South will doubtless act
wisely in selling the cotton they have
raised just as promptly as it can be
brought to market.
The u. S. Government in it's report
on the cotton crop, issued Oh the Sd OF
September, makes the condition of the
than the report at the same time last
year, and the acreage shows an in
crease Of about four per cent. This is
total Of twenty-one per cent. over last
years indicated production, which is
the equivalent Of about 100000 bales
Of cotton. The indicated crop is, there
fore, somewhere in the neighborhood
Of 100000 bales, and while it is pos
sible that an early frost or bad wealth
er may diminish these figures slightly
a crop of at least 100000 bales
or over seems probable. Such crop if
realized undoubtedly means much low
er prices. 1t is to be hoped that the
cotton planters Of the South will not
be misled by false prophets into hold
ing their cotton, but that they will, on
the contrary, sell it as rapidly as it
comes in. Nearly all authorities are
confrmatory of the Government
figures Mr.. Theodore H. Price, the
well-known expert, makes the condi-
ton eighty three and the crop 12,700,'
600 bales, and the figures of the New
York Journal Of Commerce indicate
about the same conclusion.
The truth seems to be that the alb.
normally high prices to which cotton
advanced during the spring and sum,
mer, although they profted planters but
little, as the crop was practically all
marketed before these prices were re
allied, have greatly stimulated plant
ing and production in every direction.

Brother Tells Of,The
New Pops's Early Life.
Angelo Sarto Describes he Home
Relations of the Pontif and
Dwells on'His Affection for
His Sisters.

iio 10y lioOu anu ldler years o
Pope Plus X are most Interestingly
told in a recent issue of the hide
pendent by Salvatory Cortesi, who
presents an interview with Angelo
Sarto, the younger brother of tn,
Pontiff.
Angelo s;arto, who is described as
handsome old man, of fine adj
dress, declares that so far as he
knows the Sarto family is of humble
origin. In fact, its origin was in a
founding home at Castle Monfer-
ratio, near Alexandria, at the begin
ming of the twelfth century. His
grandfather, he says, is as far back
as he can remember.
He lived to be so. He adds:
"IIe adored US children, though
we gave him little peace. Ny most
distinct recollection of him is as
sitting at the door smoking a pipe,
and attired in a long-tailed coat,
which Beppi (the pet name for
Giuseppe, the given name of the
Pontiff) and myself would surrepti-
tiously pull, and he would hand us
round bits of licorice a most beatifc
treat) while mama was not look
ing.
"His third son was Battista, our
father, commercial agent like grand
papa, who married Margherita San
son, pretty little dressmaker of
Riese. They had two sons and six
daughters-the present Pope and I
(Angelo), Teresa, Rosa, Maria, An
tonia. Lucia and Anna. Three of
the girls married and three remain
ed maids and lived with Bsppi at
the Patriarchate in Venice
The author takes pains to re-
mark the affection with which the
Pontiff has ever regarded his family.
He speaks OF his taking his three
sisters to live with him at the ia
nous Cathedral of st. Marx, where
they have always remained so far
peasants that they have never worn
hats.
He also leads the younger brother
to speak of the Pope's present state
as Pontiff of the Roman Catholic
world. He asks him if he will go to
Rome, and it is evident in the reply
that Angelo Sarto yearns TO be near
his brother.
He says he will follow the will OF
his brother, the Pope.
Angelo continues:
Certainly my poor brother must
need some dear one near him. He was
not made for that lonely post at the
Vatican, and is so accustomed to be
taken care of by my sisters tina: he
must long for them"
The author then tells how the
sisters mourn the brother, who in
his appointment to be head of the
Roman Catholic Church is as much
cut off from them as if he were, al
ready dead.
Angelo willingly traces the career
of his illustrious brother through
his boyhood days, his school work,
his elevation from one office to an
other in the church. Angelo adds;
"What a pity mama is not
alive. When he was created Car
dinal he came to see her and said
"See, mamma, do not look hand
some in red?" and indeed he did.
She cried for Joy at having such a
son. What would she have said il
she had seen him in white?'
