MAKING COLD LIGHT.

The Monopolistic Firedy Holds the
secret For the Scientists.
In the field Of light produced from
electricity Il 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 recondite, field is that variously
known as huorescence and phosphor-
escence. This includes the means Of
producing light on which the firefiies
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-
verted much attention which would
otherwise have been given to other
fields of inquiry. If one-tenth of the
scientists who are pushing forth into
the domains OF electricity would de
vote their energies toward solving the
problem of producing cold light by
the means which insects use 20 pro
duce it we should perhaps obtain re
suits which would demonstrate that
light may be commercially produced

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

ment. They have already demonstrated
however that the conversion Of one
form OF vibratory energy into another
may be continuously brought about
without the aid Of external influences
The continuous conversion of heat rays
into light rays without a material loss
Of energy may therefore be looked upor
as a possibility which will be realized
sooner or later.
In conclusion 1t may be sad that tho
most probable improvement in electric
lighting in the near future will be tho
use Of incandescent gas as the lighf
radiator.

which met in Portland. April 14th, adopt
ed the following platform, which will
meet the approval of every member of
the party in the state:
The Republican party of Oregon, in
convention assembled, congratulates the
state and Nation upon the continued as
tendency of Republican principles and
policies in our National Government and
the unprecedented prosperity that has
followed the maintenance of those prin-
ciples and the enforcement of those pol
icies.
The honor of the Nation has been fear
lessly andsagaciously maintained at home
aud abroad, whether in the enforcement
of law against defiant corporations, in
vigorous protests against outrages on
Americans in Syria, Jewish massacres in
Russia and unfavorable Vaccinations oi
European powers in Asia.

THE PLATFORM. .

Resolved, That we favor the permanent
betterment of every highway in Benton
county, without regard to the political COM
plexlon of the section to which it leads
or through which it passes.
Resolved, That we favor the liberal but
intelligent exenditure of public money for
road Improvement under competent super
vision, and limited to the employment of
such methods as will provide good roads
without imposing unnecessary burden on
the taxpayers
Resolved, Th,t we favor an administra-
ton of county affairs which will render un-
necessary gradual increase of the taxpay-
ers' burden from year to year at time
when the county is free from debt, and there
is no demand for heavy expenditure of
county funds
Resolved, That we favor ar equal and
uniform system of taxation as prescribed by
the constitution and laws of this state. and
condemn in most severe terms policy
which discrlminates in favor of one indi-
vidual and against another.
Resolved, That we favor the strict atten-
tion Of every county officer to his duties pre-
scribed for him by law, and the faithful
observance of the obligations imposed by
his oath of office Adopted by the Benton
county Republican convention, March 81.

The efforts of the Democratic

The efforts of the Democratic
administration to make taxpayers
believe that their county tax is
extremely low this year would be
amusing if the burden of the
tax itself were not a very serious
matter. The sum to be raised for
county purposes this year is great
er than the last levy OF the Wood
ward administration provided.
The Times takes delight in COM
pairing the county levy this year
with that of last year, which was
probably the highest levy ever
made in Benton county. That
was a Democratic levy also, and
taxpayers are asking the question,
"NVhat was done with the money
that we paid into the county treas
ury last year?"

McFadden has planted his banner
on the outer walls. His frs,
'sshot" fired from the Times last

missed the mark and hit the

1t is said that when the editor

Be that as it may, the fact re-
mains that the editor has retired
and the Willy Sachem is directing
the guns in person.
\ This retirement of the editor,
however, does not relieve him Of
the responsibility for all that is
said in the editorial columns oi
his paper. His father placed Hon.
w. E! Yates in nomination fol
state senator before the recent
Republican convention. In doing
so he vouched for his fitness for
the position, his character as q
man, his integrity as a public Off

citizen. Hon. J. B. Irvine spoke
in highest praise of Mr.. Yates
