covery and invention should be perfect
ed and light obtained approXimating
as nearly as possible that of the sun
itself The latest invention of this kind
and, as some think, the most remark
able is the helion light, as it has been
named, the result of the study and ex-
periments of Professor Herschel G.
Parker of Columbia university and
Walter G. Clark AS this Is an age In
which people depend upon things that
are artificial to a greater extent than
ever before in history, it Is plain that
good artificial light is one of the first
essentials. In Offices and factories and
stores are thousands Of persons who
work by artificial light day as we'll
as night They need the best substitute
they can get for the rays of the sun.
Perhaps the greatest advance in the
science of electric lighting since Edi-
sons original discoveries in this field
was DR.. Siemens' tantalum light, which
was closely followed by the tungsten
light of DR.. Kuzel of Germany and OIL
er scientists. But both tantalum an |
tungsten are costly substances anu
therefore impracticable, it is said, for
general commercial use as a tilament
for incandescent bulbs. The helion
| flament is made by taking a carbon
coil and coating it with helion, using
the gases which experiments have
shown to be best for the purpose. The
secret consists in the knowledge of
! how to do this work of coating the
coil, secret the two scientists who in
vented the light have thus far kept to
themselves. Silicon, obtained in mex
haustible supplies from common sand
and quartz, is used in coating the car
bon, giving to the coil remarkable
strength 1t is claimed for the helior
light that it will give a degree of illu
mination equal to that of the ordinary
incandescent electric light with con
sumption of but one-third the amount
of electrical power. The life of the
light is much longer than that Of one
having a carbon filament.

called the champion mountain climber

twenty-three obtained the degree OF

MINERS CONVENTION

Haute July 9.
MINE INSPECTOR is BUSY,

A convention of the hituminous
miners of Indiana has been called for
July at Terre Haute. TO consider the
new mining laws enacted during the
recent session of the legislature.
Many miners are complaining that the
state mine inspector and his deputies
enforce the laws against the miners,
but not against the operators. Eight
miners were arrested at JasonvilIe for
opening kegs of powder with pfebs.
which IS contrary To one of the new
laws The state mine inspector is
trying to prevent disasters which the
new laws were calculated TO prevent.
The miners and operators agreed TO
a law during the recent session of the
legislature that was pronounced BY
them 10 be one of the best Of the kind
in the country. Il net enIv provided

lice powers to see that the act was

NEW FINANCIAL PLAN.

1t is stated that the Pennsylvania
has adopted a new policy for raising
money to push its improvements.
Finding itself unable to sell bonds to
an advantage it is indorsing the notes
of the contractors to the extent of mil
lions of dollars, and the contractors
readily raise money on these notes, as
they have better security than the
notes or bonds sold directly by the
railroad. Under the laws of the pro-
lection of labor they rank ahead of
the bonds in case of receivership and
must be paid even before mortgage
bonds. This method of raising money
may shock some of the mortgage
bondholders when they find that the
railroad is cutting in ahead of the
securities with these contractors
notes.

ENTITLED TO PROTECTION.

1t seems decidedly unfair TO have
TO pay city taxes and then not be ac-
.oorded the protection the city owes us.
For several years now there have been
complaints concerning the inadequacy
of some of the city sewers. Those
sewers that have given the most trou-
BILE are located in South Eighth street
and North Ninth street. During the
heavy rain last Wednesday the water
in the South Eigth street sewer backed
up and overlooked the cellars of the
stores occupied by George Mashmeyer
and Loehr and Klute The damage
done was not very great but the in
convenience was considerable On
North Ninth street the sewer was I'M
able to accommodate the downpour of
rain and water poured in the base
ment under the Palladium and Sun
Telegram office like a miniature wat
erfall, and had the rain fall not stop
ped. fortunately, we would have had a
cases the trouble seems TO lie in the
sewers being unable to accommodate
a large supply of water They be-
come filled very easily and the re-
mainder of the water makes our
streets look like rivers and our cellars
and easements like wells. This is
not the first time the smallness of the
sewers has given cause for complaint
For many years past the same trouble
has been observed with every heavy
rain. Mr. Mashmeyer a year or so
ago. even went to the trouble at his
own expense to build a sea WALL
across the front of his cellar. This
effectively stopped any rain from pour
ing in from the Main street side, but
was unavailing this year to stop the
overflow from South Eighth street
And now owing to the danger from
the South Eighth street sewer. he may
be compelled TO build another sea
wall along the east side of his cellar
We look to the city which we sup
port By our taxes, to give us proper
and adequate sewage. but it is not do
ing so. The sewers on the streets
mentioned are too small to accommo-
date the heavy rains we experience
each spring and early summer Elev-
enth street formerly was in the same
condition, we understand, and last year
the fault was remedied by installing
a second sewer. We respectfully sug-
gest, therefore, that the city officials
if they have the welfare of the city at
heart, get busy, and formulate some
plan whereby those people living on
South Eighth and North Ninth streets,
shall not be flooded out of their homes
or places of business every time a
heavy rain happens along.

TUBERCULOSIS HOSP|-
Tall IS IN DEMAND
There Are Several Places That
Want 1t Badly.
COMMISSION INVESTIGATES

Several cities in the state are going
after the tuberculosis hospital, for the
erection of which the last Legislature
created commission, which met at
indianapolis, and received proposals
for sites. The board did not open the
proposals and will not select a site
until much preliminary work has been
done.
Among the Indiana cities that are
making bids for the hospital are Peru,
Spencer, and North Vernon. Brown
and Montgomery counties also want
it located somewhere within their bor-
ders.
The commission divided the state
into five districts, in which the five
members of the commission will in
vestigate conditions relative to tuber-
culosis. Each member was given one
district to canvass, and after he has
completed his canvass he VIII report
to the full board.
DR. j. n. Hurry, secretary of the
State Board of Health, recognized
authority on tuberculosis and father of
the tuberculosis commission bill, adj
dressed the commission on the sub
ject of tuberculosis and its ravages in
Indiana. He advocated the selection
of a site where the purest water could
be obtained in large quantities and
where the scenery is beautiful.
He said that water containing lime
and other mineral properties should
be avoided because of its effect on
the human system and its effect on
boilers and heating apparatus. He
explained various kinds of buildings
best suited for the housing of tuber-
culosis patients and urged that as
much provision be made as possible so
that the patients could lead an outdoor
life Figures and charts were submit
ted showing the extent of the ravag-
es of tuberculosis within the state of
Indiana for ten years.
