MEASURE MAKING CUBAN REci.
PRoclTY TREATY EFFECTIVE
PASSED BY SENATE.
PROVIDES FOR W DUTY
REDUCTION OF TWENTY PER
CENT in RATES ON THE I'M.
PORTS FROM CUBA.

Washington, Dec. 17.-By the de-
Wednesday passed the bill carrying
into effect the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba. The final vote came at the
close of a day which was marked by a
debate which, while at all times ami
mated, was never acrimonious. The
principal speeches were made by Mr..
Spooner for the bill, and by Mr.. Bal
ley against it. Both senators were
subjected to frequent Interruptions.
In his remarks, Mr.. Bailey referred to
the recount agreement of the Demo
cratic caucus to stand solidly on party
lines and warned the Republicans that
in the future they could not depend on
struggling Democratic votes in support
Of Republican party measures regard
less of whether they were or were not
in accord with Democratic doctrine.
The bill passed carries into execu-
ton the treaty between the United
last March.
The treaty provides for a reduction
Of 20 per cent from the rates of duty
under the Dingley law on all Cuban
articles imported into the United
States and a varying reduction OF
from 20 to 40 per e from the estab-
1ished Cuban duty on articles into
Cuba from the United States.
After the passage of the Cuban bill
the senate agreed to the house resolu-
ton providing for a holiday recess
from Dec. 10 to Jan. 4.

MAKING COLD LIGHT.
The MOnopo1istic Firefly Holds the
Secret For the Scientists.

Secret For the Scientists.
In the field Of light produced from
electricity it seems on the whole that
the next radical step in advance will
be in the way of rendering gases in
candescent.
The most fascinating, because the
most reconcile, field is that %variously
known as fuorescence and phosphor-
essence. This includes the means Of
producing light on which the irefies
and their tribe have thus far held an
absolute monopoly and is the only
method apparently of producing an
absolutely "cold light" Compared
with the other fields in which progress
is likely this one is comparatively un-
| explored. The tendency to consider
| electricity the essence Of energy and
even of life itself has undoubtedly di-
! verified much attention which would
| otherwise have been given to otlle.'
fields of inquiry. If one-tenth of the
| scientists who are pushing forth into
| the domains of electricity would Ale.
vote their energies toward solving tie
problem Of producing cold light by
the means which insects use to pro-
duce it we should perhaps obtain re-
suits which would demonstrate that
light may be commercially produced
without dissipating 95 per cent of en-
ergy as heat.
The recent remarkable discoveries in
the general field of radiation Of which
the x rays first startled the world are
so far reaching in their possibilities
that it would be presumptuous to make
any forecast of their future develop
ment. They have already demonstrated
however, that the conversion of one
may be continuously brought about
without the aid of external influences
The continuous conversion of heat rays
into light rays without Il material loss
of energy may therefore be looked upon
as a possibility which will be realized
sooner or later.
In conclusion it may be said that the
most probable improvement in electric
lighting in the near future win be the
use of incandescent gas as the light
radiator.
1t would not be more surprising thar
many other recent discoveries if 6
method of generating light entirely diff
ferent from any now in use should be
developed to a commercial extent be
fore the present generation has passed
away. The properties of the element
radium thus far determined will fur
nish ample basis for one who is dis
posed to speculate OF the light of thu
future.-E. Leavenworth Elliott in Cen
trail Station.

Forest Fires Raging.

A dispatch from Bradford, Pa,
says the worst forest fires in the his
tory Of this section Of Pennsylvania
are raging tonight, and million
dollars worth Of property has been
destroyed. The forests have been
ablaze for the past week, but the fires
were kept under control by large
gangs of men until Friday morning,
when stig southeast gale sprang up
and famed the smouldering emoers
into a roaring mass Of flames. Watson
vile, ten miles south Of that city, is
reported as being destroyed and it is
feared that a number Of lives have
been lost. The last word from there
was received at o'clock and at that
time the fire was on all sides Of the
place and the people were fearful Of
being burned to death as there was
no avenue Of escape. That was the
last word from that quarter. All wires
are down in that direction. At Simp-
son, where the forest is thick and
large number of Gil wells are located,
the fire was very fierce. On both
sides Of the railroad the woods we're a
mass of flames and swept over an area
OF two miles, talking everything in
their path. The people of the town
were rescued by a special train being
run as far as Davis City and brought
to that city this evening. The town
was DESTROYED.

For the Thoughtful.

If Christ possessed no other au-
thority than that derived from his
blameless and heroic life, his Jestl-
mony might be set against that of
all the morbid, the diseased, the blind,
and the evil-minded who have borne
witness to the futility Of virtue and
effort. In knowledge Of life it is
spiritual rectitude and insight which
count: numbers have no significance.
II we arc to suffer, let US suffer as he
did, in sublime silence; if we are to be
scourged aud rejected, let US keep our
spiritual dignity amid the SQualor OF
sin; if VIC are to die, let US die for and
with our race. Such bearing plucks
the bitterness out of sorrow. and
makes death a revelation of immortali-
tv. And such a bearing translates
life into a speech full OF spiritual reall-
ty and promise. Hamilton W. Mabie.

Massacre Ordered.

1t is claimed that the Sultan Of
Turkey recently summoned the kurd
chiefs in Asia Minor to Constantinople
and instructed them to recommence
the Armenian massacres which were
the sensation Of the civilized world
half dozen years ago. The Sultan's
idea is that bloodshed on large scale
in Armenia would distract attention
from Macedonia and relieve pressure on
European Turkey. Armenia massa-
cres have already occurred in the dis
trict of Van, Easpuakan, Musha aud
Sassum. In a fight near Van, the
Armenians fought the Kurds fercely
and as result 200 we're killed and sew
eral hundred wounded, many Of the
casualties being KurdS.
