The searchers have redoubled their
efforts to find some trace of the miss

are searching the timber close to the

low had not strayed great distance
away from camp.

REUNION OF INcUBArEDr INFANTS.
Children Who Owe Lives to Mechanical
Mothers TO Meet at Coney Island.

The first international reunion OF infant in
cubator graduates win greet their alma mater
az the Infant Incubator Institution in Dream
land, Coney Island, Sunday, July 29
This viii be the first meeting Of the kind and
promises to be notable. The convention will
have delegates not only from Brooklyn, Man
haitian and The Bronx. but also from Paris.
Berlin and London. where this life saving
institution was first demonstrated. Atlantic
City, Chicago. Cleveland. Pittsburg, indianapolis
Minneapolis. Boston, Buffalo, Omaha, Portland
Ore. and Montreal, Canada, viii also be repre-
sented.
Following the introduction OF infant life savers
in Berlin in 1896 in London at the time OF Queen
victoria's Diamond Jubilee, in 1897; in Paris in
1900, in Omaha in 1888 and in Buffalo in 1901,
the physicians in charge came 10 this country
and established the incubators in all the large
cities.
II is estimated that since 1896 there have been
received and cared for in the infant incubators
under the direction of DR. Couney and his asso-
ciates more than six hundred prematurely born
and siclIly infants. and OF this number the
greater part Of the living graduates are expected
70 be present at the reunion. Arrangements have
been made for the generous entertainment OF the
graduates their parents and guardians.

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT INVENTION.
Cheap Substitute for Present Filament Wires
in Incandeseent Bulbs.

A new electric lamp, which threatens to revo-
lutionize the present system of lighting by
means of the electric current. has been devised
by an Austrian chemist-Dr. Hans Kuzel-who
has spent many years in studying the principle
involved in his invention. He has succeeded in
devising a lamp which he calls the Syrius lamp,
and which promises to reduce the price Of elec-
tricaI lighting to a wonderful degree. AS is
we'll known, incandescent gas lighting is much
cheaper than electric light under the present
systems, because the filament wires of the lat
ter are very expensive, and the glass bulbs soon
wear out il service. DR.. Kuzel has invented a
substitute for the glow thread, by forming out
of common and cheap metals and metalloids
colloids in plastic mass. which can be handled
like clay, and which, when dry. become as hard
as stone. out of this mass very thin wire threads
then shaped. which are of uniform thickness
and of great homoGen6ity. These two character
istics are OF great value in the technics OF in
candescent lamps.
The kuZel or Syrius lamp requires scarcely
one-quarter of the electric current which the
ordinary electric lamp with filament wire re-
quires. Experiments have shown, it is asserted
that the new Syrius lamp can burn for $500
hours at a stretch. Another advantage claimed
for the Syrius is that the intensity Of the light
always remains the same the lamp bulbs never
becoming blackened, as is the case with the
ordinary buIb. II is announced that this new
lamp is TO be placed on the market next
autumn.

GOOD FIELD FOR SEWING MACHINES
German Product in South Africa-spare
Parts Lacking Necessity.

South Africa offers a fine field for manufacture
ers Of sewing machines, according; to the views
OF Consul John H Snodgrass, OF Pretoria. The
demand for these machines, especially Of cheap
grade is increasing yearly They are sold prin-
cipally the monthly payment plan. During
the last six months of 1905 sewing machines to
the value of $149,OSO were sold in the colony
Before this period statistics are available, nor
is the country of origin Of these machines shown
in the lists. But, according to the merchants of
Johannesburg, American machines have thus far
got only a small foothold in South Africa the
cheap makes of Germany having secured the
market almost exclusively. One American
chine which has a factory in Scotland is sold in
South Africa, but to no very great extent From
figures approximating the value of sewing ma
chimes imported to the colony in 1905 it is found
that $25S, ,260 spent for these articles in the
whole of British South Africa in that year. OF
this amount the Transvaal spent SS6,S2O, and
the Orange River colony 500, 100. The ports of
entry indicate that the shippers preferred the
Cape Colony, the figures being: Cape Colony,
$142S60; Natal. $1O6.OSO; Delagoa Bay. $500.
and Beira, $40
The Beers are partial to the German machine
because it is cheap and appears to fill their
quirements satisfactorily. The German machines
sell for from $40 for hand machine to S35 for
the best foot power product, but the German
exporters fail TO supply the dealers with extra
parts, so that when needles break more seri-
Gus accidents occur there is nothing with which
to remedy the defect and the machine becomes
practically worthless until relief can be obtained
from the original makers in Germany In course
of time a solicitor generally appears, and in
duces the owner to trade his broken machine for
a more expensive English make. on the monthly
payment plan. American manufacturers who are
contemplating bidding for the South African
trade should bear these facts in mind and keep
their representatives well supplied with extra
parts. The higher priced sewing machines are
sold at from $40 to $780, and a few at higher
prices. The duty is 10 per cent ad valOrem.

BUSINESS PROGRESS IN PARAGUAY.

The South American republic Of Paraguay, if the
statements of its President. in his annual message
are to be credited, is advancing very favorably
from a business point of view. The Banco Par

The capital of the Industrial Paraguaya, the most
powerful industrial company in Paraguay, has been
increased from 100000 $6.OO0OOO. A number of
new industrial corporations have been organized.
and an effort is being made to arrest the abrupt
fluctuations in the quotations OF gold. Which are
prejudicial TO commercial transac ctions, and TO
fix a rate. that the company may return to the
predOminance Of sound money, or, at least, ap-
Droximate somewhat closely TO it,

States TO study mechanical engineering and auXi-
