Tubular Electric Lamps.

A new pattern of incandescent electric
lamp is being put on the market. The
ilaments, instead of being in ordinary
bulbs, are inclOsed in straight tubes about
8 inches long; the filament is given a
small curl in the middle to allow for ey-
pansion. These tubes are mounted end
to end in a metallic casing, which serves
as a reflector, and also carries the leads
and the sockets into which the lamps iii.
There is thus produced a single line Of
light, which is very suitable for certain
forms of illumination, such as shop win
dows lighting, lighting by reflection from
the ceiling, decorative illumination and
the like. The lamps are made for all
ordinary voltages, and of the same candle
power and efficiencies as ordinary lamps;
they are run in parallel for voltages up

lamps are run in pairs, the two lamps Of

ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS,
Means of Protection That Are Effective
but Unpleasant.


That the strong odors emitted nv
many living creatures may play pro-
tectiye role in their lives has been often
suggested said an attendant at the
Zoo to man yesterday.
\ considerable number of animals. as
Is well known, emit strong odors. which
are generally unpleasant, at least to man.
and naturaliSts have often considered
these odOrs as playing an important part
III the biology of the animal The odor
protects it and serves to drive away GER
tam enemies. 1t is certain, for example.
that the skunk, whose disagreeable odor
is so strong that it remains from autumn
10 spring IN place where one of the
creatures has been killed. is very gen
orally respected by carniyorous animals.
But some other odors are hardly protec-
tive. 1t is true that they then play an
other part. They constitute a secondary
sexual characteristic often limited IL
one sex, by which the males and females
find each other out at the mating season.
and which disappears when this is over.
There are some moths that exhale an
Odor of musk; only the males have it and
these only at the mating season An
Australian duck emits a marked Odor
which is restricted to the male and is
strongest in spring.
But with many animals there are
strong Odors that seem to have no sexual
character and to confer no particular pro-
lection against other animals. In addi-
ton, it would seem that other odors at
tract enemies. Crows seem to have n
special liking for insects with a strong
odor. Certain birds have taste for
those myriapods that exhae a marked
odor of prussic acid. Perhaps we must
conclude from these facts that the tastes
OF animals. so far as smells are con-
cerned, differ sensibly from ours. -
