A New Safety Lamp.

An absolutely safe lamp, it Is said,
has ben devised in England. 1t con.

varying according to the candle power
required. In the box Is deposit OF
salt, over which Is layer of cotton
waste specially prepared. Running
through the cotton packing in an as.

projects through an aperture, and Is
practically indestructible. BY INNER.
sing the box in petroleum the cotton
waste absorbs the requisite quantity
of oil in a few minutes through small
lateral interstices. The box being dried
externally, the application of a light
to the asbestos wick produces a
bright, steady white light.
Moreover, ii is claimed. absolute
safety Is assured; the asbestine lamp
may be inverted, may exhaust itself.
may be thrown or whirled about, but
there is no danger. as there is no free
Oil gas that can be ignited and, con.
sequently, there can be no fire or ex.
ploson If all that is claimed for it
is true, the problem of the safety lamp
would seem to have been solved.

Raced with Scat and Mon.

An exciting race between a Ken.
lucky thoroughbred bearing Miss
Irene Eldred, of this city and the
steamer Sheboygan took place at Fish
Creek, Wis, on Green Bay. several
days since, and Miss Eldred won The
steamer, southhound on its return
trip, was passing point of land that
juts out into the bay several miles
north of the landing pier. Just as it
came abreast Of the point Miss Ed
red who was mounted, shouted her
challenge to Capt 4. IL. Johnston and
waved her sombrero in defiance The
captain, standing on the bridge of his
vessel, understood the challenge, and
with a loud blast of the steamers
whistle announced its acceptance.
Then the race began. \ word to her
horse and Miss Eldred's mount dash
ed off at breakneCk pace across The
rough, stony road to the beach. The
horse responded to his riders guild
ance at every turn. At one time he
sweryed from the road when his mis-
treSs turned second to observe her
petition, and the horse dashed up to
pile of stone. Nothing daunted by
the sudden obstacle, he cleared it as
neatly as if he had been used to high
jumps all his life.
For a few seconds it looked as if the
steamboat would win after all, and the
spectators held their breath until an
extra squirt on the part of the horse

Seventy-flve thousand Americanized
Syrians will be asked in the next few
months to sign monster petition,
calling upon this government to de-
mand a new treaty with Turkey, by
which the rights of former citizens Of
the Ottoman empire, who are now
citizens of the United States, will be
enforced. Charges are made by
Syrian mercnats and prominent pro-
fessional men in all parts of the
United States, that upon their return
to Turkey, they are harassed and an
noyed by the officials of that country;
that they are forcibly held up under
pretense of law while travelling from
one city to another, and tribute ex-
acted from them for personal taxes.
and that other fees are insisted upon,
which, as citizens of the United States,
they are in no wise under obligations
to pay

RADlUM IS MODERN MIRACLE.
British Scientist Finds that Mystery"
Is Inadequate.

10 Inadequate.
At the recent meeting of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement
of Science at Southport, England, the
sectional meeting which attracted the
greatest amount of attention was per-
haps that of Section A Mathematical
and physical Science) on Sept. 10. 1t
had been announced that the Presi-
dent of the section, Charles Vernon
Boys, F. r. S., would in his address
speak Of the extraordinary properties
OF radium, and there was very large
attendance to hear him.
Mr. Boys, in discussing the scienti-
flc events Of the year, characterized
the discovery Of the properties Of radi-
um as transcending all others in their
intrinsic importance and revolution
airy possibilities. The discovery by
Prof. and Nine. Curle, he said of
what seemed to be the everlasting pro-
duction of heat in easily measurable
quantity by minute amount of radi-
even when one had seen the heated
thermometer one was hardly able to
believe what one had seen. This dis
covery, which could barely be distin-
guished from that of perpetual mo-
tion, which II was an axiom of sci
ence to call impossible, had left every
chemist and physicist in a state Of be
wilderment
Further, says Mr.. Boys, Sir William
Crookes had devised an experiment
in which a particle Of radium kept n
screen bombarded forever, each col
lision producing a microscopic fash
OF light. the dancing and multitude Of
which forcibly compelled the imagina.
tlon to follow the reasoning faculties
and realize the existence of atomic
tumult. Thanks to the industry and
genius of host of physicists at home
and abroad, the mystery was being at
tackled and theories were being in
vented TO account tor the marvellous
results of observation An atom of
radium could certainly produce an
eI2anation that was something like a
gas, which escaped and carried with
II wonderful properties: but the atom,
the thing which could not he divided,
remained and retained its weight.

Source Of Appendicitis.

DR.. Lucas Championiere had some
thing interesting to say about appen.
dicitis to the Academic de Medicine.
He said grip was the original source
OF appendicitis, which, as a sequel to
grip, is more frequent according as
meat forms the larger proportion Of
ones diet. DR.. Championiere is CON
vfnced that even where grip has been
prevalent appendicitis can be pre-.
vented with certainty by the adoption
OF diet largely vegetarian and peri.

Profit and Pleasure With Bees.

Shall | keep bees?" is a question
that evey young farmer, or other
person outside Of cities, may properly
ask himself. Thsre are vast quanti-
ties of nectar going to waste in both
wild and cultivated plants. Shall he
attempt to save share of it? The
answer to this should largely depend
upon whether he likes honey. II fond
of honey, he will probably give to his
bees the attention they require. II
Indifferent to this form of sweetness,
his bee-keeping is not likely to be
successful, unless the hope of profit
by the sale Of honey may stimulate to
giving the needful care. The labor
required is not great, but it must be
given at the proper time. II one is in
doubt as to whether he shall keep
bees, he should procure one of the sew
eral standard works on the subject,
and study ii. If he has the tastes OF
naturalist, he will see that new and
most interesting field is presented,
and that honey and wax are not the
only returns the bees make to those
who observe them properly. All ex-
peiienced apiarists advise beginning
on small scale. The care Of single
colony and its increase, the first year,
will give all the instruction needed
to qualify one to conduct larger
apiary. There are probably few, If
any, localities in this country that are
overstocked with bees, and the culti-
walton Of honey plants has become ne.
cessary for the sake of their nectar
alone.

ture to pass off, but OF course heat
would escape with it and a draft
would be produced. Absorbent mate
rial about the cluster creates with
out free ventilation damp surround
ings, and again the temperature is
lowered. 1t is only necessary, how
ever, to surround the bees with sufIl-
cient material to protect them fully
against the greatest cold liable to oc-
cur and to take care also that this
enveloping material is of such a ma
ture and so disposed as to permit
the free passage of the moisture which
would otherwise collect in the inter
ior Of the hive. and to permit the es-
cape into the surrounding atmosphere
of such moisture as enters this mate
rial from within. This packing should
also be fully protected from outside
moisture.
Single-walled hives may be employ
ed in most localities with good sue
cess in outdoor wintering. On the
approach of the cool or rainy season a
close-fitting quilt should be laid over
the frames and several folded news
papers pressed down on this, or a
cushion filled with dry chaff or some
other soft material may be used in
stead of paper. The cover or roof
should be absolutely rain-proof, yet
between this cover and the cushion or
papers should be several inches of
space with free circulation of air In
order to permit this ventilation above
the top packing the cover should not
rest upon the cap or upper story all
of the way around, or if it does, an
auger hole in each end, protected by
wire cloth against the entrance of
mice, should give free passage to the
air. In the more northern portion Of
the country some further protection is
advisable, and is really necessary in
the mountainous parts of the same
territory if the best results are to be

Cold and dampness are the great
winter enemies of bee life. A single
bee can withstand very little cold but
a good cluster, If all other conditions

The problem is: To retain the
warmth generated by the bees, which
Is necessary to their well-being, and
at the same time to prevent the ac.
