LIGHTING LORE.
AcETYLENE ExcELs AS AN ILLU.
MlNANT.
Gas for Lighting Formerly Confined to
Cities and Large Towns, now in
General Use in the Country.

The satisfactory lighting of subur-
ban and country homes requires that
the means used shall be convenient,
safe, economical and furnish bill
liant, penetrating, effulgent light.
Everybody admits that these are
not the characteristics of the candle
or kerosene lamp, which, formerly,
were the only feasible means OF pro-
ducing light for domestic use in the
rural districts
For generations there was crying
need, a yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied. A few years
ago deliverance came in the shape OF
the chemical compound, Calcium Car
bide, from which, by the simple ap.
plication Of water, the gas Acetylene
is derived. Acetylene meets all the
requirements fully and admirably and
is being generally used.
Common lime and carbon in the
form of coke or coal are the raw ma
terials which, fused in an intensely
heated furnace. make Calcium Car
bide, and there is no difficulty in OBJ
tanning 1t in any part of the country.
The machine into which the Cal
cium Carbide is fed and from which
the Acetylene is distributed through
the building to be lighted, is but little
larger than thirty-gallon milk can,
and Of the same general form. 1t is
easily and cheaply installed, either in
the cellar or in an out-building.
The light from burning Acetypene
is exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that 1t surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not taint the air nor
strain the eyes and is not objection
able in any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.

coachman as Collector.

1t is related of Dean Gilbert Stokes
that once, when influenza had inca
pacitated his verger as well as the
two churchwardens, he consigned the
duty of collecting the aims to neigh
bor's coachman.
Take the what, sir?" queried that
worthy.
Take the offertory," explained the
Dean. The collection-the money
from the people in the pews."
The coachman seemed satisfied and
even pleased with his new dignity
But when the offertory hymn was hall
through noisy altercation was heard
in one of the transepts, and the Dean
at once called the collector to the
rails.
Whatever is the matter?' he in
quired.
The coachman, red of face and
wrathful of eye, then explained. He
was no half-and-half individual, and
when thing was given him to do he
did it, and did it thoroughly He said:
why, sir, there's two men in the
best seats as won't pay."-London An

Italian Defense Bureau.

New York, Sept. 27.-On recommen-
dations by Count Saybaud Massiglia,
the Italian consul general, three large
Italian charitable societies in this city
have united for the purpose of estab-
fishing a bureau which will investigate
all complaints made by Italians and all
injuries done to Italians anywhere in
the United States. The bureau will
have the broadest possible scope and
will bring to the attention of the gov
ernment at Washington all matters
which may involve international in
quiry.
Outside of these matters, attention
IS to be especially directed toward re-
lieving the great congestion of Italians
in New York by distributing them
among the rural communities, where
work will be found for them on the
farms. The bureau will be under the
joint control of three charitable SO
cieties.

Successful Air Sailinq.

The degree to which the navigation
of the air has now progressed is at
tested by the experiment of Captain
Baldwin's airship, "City of Portland"
at the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds.
The airship was off the ground for
forty-two minutes and during that time
1t travelled distance of seven miles,
reaching a maximum height of a thou
sand feet and following a prescribed
course and landing within three feet of
the initial point. Part of the course
was made in the face of breeze of
from three to six miles an hour, and
during the trip the aeronaut circled
around the tower of the Oregonian
building.
This was a noteworthy trip, but its
chief Importance lies in the demonstra-
ton that the essentials of aerial navi-
cation have been mastered. To rise in
the air, to maintain equilibrium, and
to steer independently of the wind,
these are the three great things, the
rest are mere details. Now the Bald
win airship has done all of these
things. 1t has ascended to height of
thousand feet. 1t has maintained its
equilibrium for nearly three-quarters
of an hour, so that it's occupant has not
been spilled upon the ground and so
that the ship itself has not been
wrecked upon any obstacle or upon the
ground. And 1t has pursued its course
under control along a specified course.
returning to the point of departure af-
ter a large circuit and smaller one.
After this. aerial navigation is only
a matter of improvement. The size of
the ship may be increased. The con-
struction of the engines may be i'm
proved. The safety of the occupants
may be greatly increased. The ability
to make way against wind currents
may be raised almost Indefinitely. The
duration of the trip may be extended.
But with an airship that can raise it.
self, balance itself and steer itself
against or across the wind, the main
problems have been solved and the in
ventor finds himself in 2 position
where he can make these improve
ments gradually and to an extent that
it is impossible to forecast.-Pueblo

SHOCK TOO MUCH FOR BRUIN.

Hugglng Bear Evidently Did NOT
Know the Summer Girl.
The great performing Russian bear
had escaped from the captivity under
which he had chafed for SO many
months; but he was finding that liber-
ty had its drawbacks. For many
weary hours he had prowled, but moth
ing in the shape of food had he seen.
Suddenly he gave a growl of delight,
for, sitting on stile, he espied tooth
some little lady, who was evidently
awaiting the coming of young man.
Bruin did not stop to ponder upon
his good-fortune; he seized her in a
mighty hug For a while she said
nothing; but as he exerted more of his
tremendous strength she murmured:
Il don't think you are quite so
strong as you were, Gerald"
Then once more melancholy settled
upon Bruin. He had done his best; 4;
but the young ladies of this country
were beyond him.
With roar of despair he retraced
his steps to the menagerie, and gave
himself up without a struggle.-Lon-

ENGLAND AND JAPAN
WILL BE IN CLOSE ALLIANCE

Two Great Powers Asre. to Stand To-
eether in the East-Will Pre-
serve Integrity of India and China
and Maintain Open Door.
London, Sept. 27.-The text of the
new agreement between Great Britain
and Japan which was signed by Lord
Lansdowne, the British foreign secre-
tary, and Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister TO Great Britain, August 18th,
was issued by the foreign office late
last evening.
The momentous document is a brief
one, comprising less than 500 words, In
cluding eight articles and preamble.
1t creates an alliance offensive and
defensive, binds the two countries to
preserve the integrity of India and
China, keep the. door open to all ma
tions, and in case either Japan or
Great Britain is attacked the two ma
tions will combine their forces against
the attacking power.
Accompanying the agreement is a
covering letter from Lord Lansdowne
to the British ambassadors at st. Pc
tersburg and Paris for transmission to
the Russian and French governments,
respectively, in which the foreign sec
retary courteously reviews the agree
ment and carefully points out that the
new defensive alliance is not intended
as a menace, but rather as guarantee
of peace and prosperity in the far East,
in which all countries may participate.
The main features of the new agree
ment have already been forecasted in
the dispatches from London and Paris.
The pithy articles of the official text,
howver, bring out forcefully the tre-
mendouS importance to both countries
of this alliance, which practically
makes Great Britain Japan and Japan
Great Britain for the purpose of de-
fense ''in the regions of East Asia and
India"
The inclusion of India specifically as
a point at which any aggression by a
foreign power will call for the assist
ance of Japan, finds much favor with
the press of London, the morning pa
pers in long laudatory articles welcom-
ing the new and more extensive alli-
ance of the two insular kingdoms west
and east as giving immediate relief
from the dangerous thunder cloud
which for SO many years has hung over
the Indian frontier.
Baron Hayashi, who was inter
viewed after the publication of the
agreement, said:
THE new treaty forms an effective
safeguard against the renewal of dis
turbances in the far East. This is it's
object. We cannot say that a perma-
nent peace has been secured-that is
too much to be sure of-but we can
aver that tranquility has been assured
for long time to come
This applies not only to Great Bri-
tain and Japan, but also to all powers
having political or commercial inter
ests in that part of the world in fact,
to all who have been interested in
maintaining the status quo.
81 repeat that the treaty is a sure
guarantee of peace, for that is its aim
and object. 1t should be clearly recog-
nized by all that 1t is not meant as a
menace to any one. 1t has no aggres-
sive intent, its only object being to Sc
cure the peace of the world so far as
the East is concerned"

asked the man, as the woman laid

why, yes" she replied. 81 signed

How do you know you did?" asked
the man. you didn't read the con-
tract"
Il know that" said the woman. "It
wasn't necessary. 1 haven't time for
that. l know what 1 told them down
at the office yesterday"
"That is just like woman" said
the man, impatiently. "They clap
their names to any kind of docu-
ment without reading it over. So care
less are they about such things that
half the women in the land would
sign their own death warrant and not
know it,
Then the man read slowly through
the written agreement.
Here" he said, "is a mistake, first
pop. Fortunately you are dealing with
reliable firm that will rectify it. If
you were buying from some jay con-
Germ that would hold you to your bar
gain you would have to make your
payments on the 18th of every month,
instead of on the 1st, as you wish to
do
"Oh, that's nothing" said the
woman, serenely. Don't worry about
that. I'll pay whenever l get ready,
no matter what the contract says"
"Oh, excuse me-" said the man. Per
haps that explains why all women
think it unnecessary to read whatever
papers they sign"

Don't Use Slanu.

"a lady used the expression Gee

II had never occurred to her that this
was taking the name of the Lord in
vain, and probably few of many who
indulge in sugar-coated profanity re-
alize that they are swearing. What is
Gee" though, but a euphemism for
"Jesus? Dear me" is nothing but
the Latin "Deo Meo" (My God), For
Goodness Sake" is only for Gods
Sake" "Drat it, is God rot it,
