A New Paint.

If one-half that is claimed for the
new German paint is true, says the
Philadelphia Record, the white lead
base of paints so universally used is
doomed. The new pigment is obtained
from a burnt limestone which contains
a considerable proportion-20 per cent
or more-of magnesia, the best COM
bination being that found naturally in
dOiomitic limestone This is mixed
with a hydrocarbon and fired until all
the carbon is consumed. Among the
desirable features claimed for the new
paint are fineness and smOothness of
surface, covering power, permanence
and cheapnes5, quick drying qualities
without addition of driers, freedom
from yellowirg with age and natural
hardening or enameling after a few
months. Greatest Of ALL it may be
washed without destroying it's origi-
nal smoothness.

A Gigantic Light.

An example Of the immense increase
in the power Of modern marine lights
is furnished by the new equipment Of
the st. Catherine lighthouse on the
south coast Of the Isle of Wight. 1t
has a power Of 100000 candles as
against the 100000 candle power of
the light that it replaces. The new
lens throws three distinct beams of
light, which follow one another across
the water. The apparatus revolves in
a trough Of. mercury, on which it is
foated instead of being carried by roll
ers, as hitherto. About S16 pounds of
mercury is required to fill the trough

Locomotives as Fog Makers.

An engineer asserts that the London
fogs are cansed largely by the dis
charge of steam into the air from the
300 or more locomotives operating in
the London area. Averaging each en-
CINE at 500 horsepower, or a total of.
say, 100000 horsepower, and adding
100000 horsepower from other steam
generating sources, gives total Of
$4,000 horsepower Of steam discharg-
ed into the atmosphere. One steam
plant of 1000 horsepower, the engineer
figures, will discharge into the air
twenty tons Of steam per hour, or
sufficient to produce a fog twenty feet
thick and one mile square.

SENIOR UNITED STATES SENA-
TOR STARTS FOR WASHING
TON NOVEMBER "a.
Believes Coming Session of Congress
Will be the Most important in
Many Years.

United States Senator Levi Ankeny
will leave Walla Walla Friday for
Washington City to take his seat in
the upper house of congress, which
convenes December 4. Senator Ankeny
said this morning that the coming
session of congress will be one Of
the most important the country has
had for many years.
Many matters Of great Importance
to the country in general and partic-
ularly the northwest are to be consid-
cred. Among the subjects that are
of vital interest will be the railroad
rate bill, government control Of life
insurance, the Panama canal and the
San Domingo treaty." said the sena-
tor. Another matter that will inter-
est the people of the northwest will
be the irrigation question, which is
scheduled to be taken up early in
the session"
Senator Ankeny has been mentioned
in connection with the Craftsmanship
Of the irrigation committee and it is
generally believed that he will secure
the important place.

Two submarine bells lately put in
position off the coast Of Nova Scotia
are said to be working admira bly,
They can be heard at a distance Of
five miles, as tested by a steamship
equipped with receiving instrument
on which the sound is heard. Subma-
rine telephone signals will be estab-
lished at several other points on the
Nova Scotian coast in the bay Of Fun
dy and on the Cape Breton seaboard.
The Canadian department Of marine
has contracted for large number Of
these aids to navigation, and it is ex-
pected that all steamships running to
Canadian ports will soon be supplied
with the receiving apparatus, which
will enable approach to the coast with
safety in all kinds Of weather.
