A Famous Squash.

Most every boy on a farm knows
how to fix up squash by feeding them
milk so that they will grow to pro-
disious size, but Unadilla youth has
smashed all records, if the statements
Of his friends are to be accredited.
The Unadilla youth determined to
produce a prize squash that would
make all other prize squashes ever
raised look like marbles in compari-
son.
According he clipped the end of
the vine and immersed it in sweet
milk. In time the vine took as much
as quart of milk day. The squash
grew beyond all expectations, and was
eventually exhibited at the Morris
Fair, and it easily won premium of
ten dollars.
But the most surprising part of the
story is yet to come, according to the
narrator, whose reputation for verac.
ity has never been questioned. The
squash was cut the other day, and it
is alleged that it contained seven
pounds and fourteen ounces Of fine,
rich butter, equal if not superior to
any made last year at the co-opera-
tive creamery. 1t is to be greatly re-
GREETED that the squash was seedless.

IRIDIUM LAMP FlLnMENTS.
A Resort to Them in the Effort to
Find a Satisfactory Substitute
For CarhAn


The objection to carbon fllamentts-
disintegration, fusing with strong
currents, and therefore waste of en-
ergy through the necessary employ
ment Of weak ones-have led to many
attempts to construct a filameut Of
greater efficiency and durability.
In the infancy Of incandescent
lighting experiments were made with
metals of the platinum group. These
experiments have lately been resum-
ed, the greatest hope Of success be-
ing placed on osmium. But osmium
is by no means unobjectionable Like
carbon, it vaporizes at bright white
heat, and if air is present, as in an
imperfectly exhausted bulb, it forms
hyperrosmic acid which, even in q
very small quantity, is exceedingly
injurious to the lungs and the eyes.
Similar objections apply to ruthen-
ium. Iridium is the only member of
the group which is neither vaporizei
nor oxidized at white heat. Fused
iridium is free from osmii7m, ruthen-
ium, and palladium, which ere vapor-
lied during fusion.
Edison has recommended iilaments
of iridium wire-but the metal is ex-
tremely brittle and cannot, according
to Guelcher, of Charlottenburg, be
drawn into wire. With care it can be
rolled into strips 1872 inch thick, but
it is impossible to make such strip
of either circular or uniform cross
section.
Guelcher has, however, succeeded
in producing round and uniform iri-
dunn filaments by mixing fine iridium
powder with vegetable glue, forcing
the paste through a perforated plate
by hydraulic pressure, drying the fila
ments and heating them to whiteness
in an oxy-hydrogen flame. The fla
ments thus produced have bright
metallic lustre, and though very hard
are flexible enough to be used in elec-
trio bulbs. They are said to be very
durable and economical of power.
Instead of the chemically
metal. iridium powder as precipitated
from solutions may be used. AS this
contains some oxide, the filaments,
before being heated, must be exposed
to the action of a stream of hydro
gen.
Without this precaution they would
explode on being heated. 1t should
be noted that the heating must be
done in an exposed flame, not in a
covered crucible or bed of charcoal,
as the object is to effect complete
combustion of the adhesive and leave
nothing but pure iridium.-From the
German in Umschau.

Jews Are influential People.

A Jewish year book just issued con-
tains statistics showing that the He
brew population Of the world is now
10,932,777. OF this number Russia has
5,1S9,4O1, Austria Hungary 2,076,37S
and the Unites States 1,253,217. Ger
many comes next with 5S6,94S and
then Turkey with 466,3S1. Of the Co.,
900 Jews credited to the State Of New
York about 100000 are residents Of
New York City. A list of requests and
gifts by Jews to various institutions
covers fourteen pages Of the book.
Forty-one synagogues were dedicated
in the last year. For their number the
Jews are perhaps the most influential
race of people in the world. They are
more despised and prosecuted, and in
crease in numbers, but little, if at all,
except in those countries to which they
emigrate to escape persecution; yet
they largely control the worlds news
papers and finances, thus influencing
public opinion and the action Of gov
ernments.

Foreign Titles.

The King of Italy, since his son
was born, has been celebrating by do
mating titles with which no property
goes. In the German Empire, a title
of nobility can be purchased, with
guarantee attached, for $4,000. In
Portugal, the price is about one-fif-
tieth as high. Austria, Roumania,
Spain, Turkey, Persia find in such
sales an honest source of income. In

they contained anything so indecent
or dangerous as thought.

OF the third that It suddenly dawned

upon him what had become of it.
Then he went to see the coal peo-
pie. They were amiable but firm.
They couldn't remember that the coal
had been paid for, but they would
make every effort to find IN their
books some mention of the money
which the man said he had given
them.
Well, they couldn't find it, and so
the man in the end had to pay the
bill again.
He told his wife, and that lady bit
her lip. He had to tell her because she
had to help him look for the receipt,
or the chances are she would never
have heard of it. At all events, she
didn't say Il told you so'; or 81 hope

VALUE OF A RECEIPT.
Kept Harping on the Subject to His
Wife Until One Fatal Day.

Wife Until One Fatal Day.
There's a man in this town who is
always talking to his wife about wo-
mans unbusiness like ways and how
impossible it is to make the sex un-
derstand that it is necessary to keep
receipts if one would avoid paying a
bill twice. He has talked and ia .ked
on this subject until his better half
has piled everything in the house
with the receipts of bills for articles
which were long since worn out and
tAe fragments cast away.
About eight months ago the hus-
band bought the winters coal and
paid fer it, 1t amounted to goodly
sum, and when he tucked the receipts
for the money in his overcoat pocket
he had that warm sense of well-doing
which is given to the man who pays
his bills.
When he went home that evening
he told his wife about it. "I'v5 paid
for the COAL" said he, "and have the
receipt put away, and | feel like
VanaStCrbilt in consequence. l WISH
l could teach you to file your receipts.
Some Of these days l am going to
have to pay your bills twice, and l
certainly shall dislike that i'm
mensely."
1t was a few weeks after this that
the man with a spasm of generosity
gave away the overcoat that had the
rec9ipt for coal in it.
He gave it to a poor fellow who
was going West to find work, and the
coat and the man had no sooner pass
ed beyond the punctilious persons
ken than the coal people sent in the
bill for the winters fuel.
The man spent three days looking
for the receipt, and it was at the end
