A new type nf i-ncandescent lamp
alamens has recently been perfected by
DR.. Just. of Vienna, essential feat
nre of which is the use of bornitrate as
material for the flament. The lamp
gives q light similar to that of the or
binary filament, and tests have shown
an average life OF between 80 n 400
hours. 1t Is stated that the cost OF the
manufacture is not greater than that
Of the ordinary lamp. Up to the pres
Ent only lamps of so and 100 volts and
55-candiepower have been produced.
The most important feature Of the lamp
Is its high efficiency.
h most recent excavation shows
that Vesuvius began it's work as a
eonservator Of antiquity earlier than
the memorable veal A. D. 70. During
the excavations in the valley of the
sarno, near San Mariana, some most
interesting antiquities have come to
light. These have been covered up by
o volcanic deposit about 6 feet thick,
which points to an eruption of Vesuv-
ius which must have taken place in the
seventh century before Christ. The
relics include q Greek burying place,
archaic tombs n various bronzes and
terra cottas.

No more striking example Of the val
ne Of science to agriculture ran be
FOUND than the two discoveries that
cream could be separated from milk by
means, and that the fat
content of milk could be determined by
9 simple operation, part mechanical
and part chemical. The country-made
cutter IS a thing OF the past. and the
pld-fashioned churn and springhouse
have given place to the modern cream
cry, with skimming stations.
