Washington, Jan. 3O.-The president
has reached a solution of the japanese
coole problem. 1t will be unfolded
to the California delegation this eve
ming.
1t is understood he has reached an
agreement with the Japanese ambas-
sador Aoki, whereby the Toxic gov
ernment will prevent laborers taking
passage for this country, but such
action is not likely to be announced
officially. If it were, the mikado would
be attacked by opposition at home. A
treaty cannot be made to this end, but
IT is possible to achieve the same re-
suits by exercising power over the
steamship lines.

ated with Prof. Parker. He is a mem
Der of the Columbia Faculty Club and
Is 80 years old.
| Both men, while successful in their
| special fields, are by no means well to
J do. Seen in their laboratory at Colum-
bia yesterday afternoon, the inventors
talked freely of their discovery.
1T is no source of regret to u.s." said
Prof. Parker. that it Is to be great
commercial success, although we can
truthfully say that such a reward was
not what inspired us to continue our
efforts after repeated failures. We. like
all other scientists. knew that there
was a great opportunity for improve
ment In the present standard incandes-
cent light and we set out to discover
substance which could be substituted
for carbon. Platinum was originally
used. but it became tremendously ex-
pensive.
Then carbon came into use and II
has stayed. Another substance has been
found, but it Is impracticable owing to
its costliness.
Worked for Seven Years
For seven years between us we have
been working on this subject, most of
the time in this laboratory, which the
university generously gave over to our
use. 1t was just year ago that, one
night, after almost numberless expert
ments, we found that we had in a tube
the very substance which we were seek
ing. And yet as inventions go we had
made the discovery by accident. We
had the result. but we didn't know how
we got 1t. We went home early in the
morning and spent few waking hours
trying to figure out how we had
achieved our result.
I'VE worked and experimental and
analyzed AID finally, not so long ago,
the secret became ours; and, almost to
our surprise. we found that the sub
stances used We're inexpensive and
could be had in abundance. Quite re-
Gently we perfected our invention and
announced 1t at a meeting of the Amer
lean Physical society.
I'VE use a carbon coil hardly thicker
than a human hair and coat it with
helion. named after Helios, the sun
god. We have made several lights and
the results have surprised us as well
as amazed other scientists to whom
we have shown them. We are not in
terested at present in the commercial
value Of our discovery or invention.
We understand that in scientific circles
it is regarded as the most important
step in incandescent lighting since the
first lamp was invented, and the dis
tinction Of having done that is sufficient
for us, at least for the time being"
Speaking of the experiments, Mr.
Clark said:
"As you probably know, the present
incandescent lights grow dim as they
grow old. That is not true of the one
we have invented. One lamp tested by
us showed a gradual increase in candle
power which reached a minimum of 2
per cent"
Clearer understandings of the relative
strength of the old and the new lights
can be had from the statement that
with the old light 1t takes fifty-five
watts to produce sixteen candle power,
while with the Parker light thirty-eighr
watts produce forty candle power.

streams. He pointed out the fact that
trout could always obtain plenty Of
worms and flies when the season
opened, but that they had to wait
until August for grasshoppers. He
would be willing to pay two cents
each for some, and he knew scores of
other fishermen who would give as
much, he said.
This set Mr.. Ludgate to thinking
and when grasshopper time came he
hired all the boys in the neighborhood
to catch the insects at the rate of
one cent for fifty. He sent his own
children out in the fields, and when
the crop had been gathered he pos
sessed about $4,000 hoppers of all kinds,
ages and Sizes AS fast as the insects
were taken they were placed in a corn
crib. which had been made air tight
by pasting paper over the cracks. The
crib was then filled with hay and
banked with leaves to keep it warm
within.
Thus far during the winter the
grasshoppers have stood the cold, and
Mr.. Ludgate sees no reason why he
should lose more than 10 per cent by
spring. Having little else to do he Is
now making boxes in which to ship
them. If he can get two cents each
for the hoppers he will make about
$1,000 for his pains.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-Toiling for
years in their laboratory with no hope
of reward except scientific honors,
Prof. Henschel c. Parker of Columbia
university and Walter G. Clark, an
electrical engineer have unexpectedly
found themselves on the threshold of
enormous wealth. They have invented
a new incandescent light which has
created a sensation in scientific circles
and which promises to revo,utionize
incandescent lighting throughout the
world.
Announcement of the discovery was
made few days ago to a few intimate
friends, and almost instantly it spread
broadcast. Yesterday the inventors,
hardly realizing the flood of good for
tune that had borne in upon them after
their numberless days and nights of ef-
fort, had received scores of kilograms
OF congratulation, and along with them
messages from capitalists willing to re-
lieve them of the business end of their
discovery.
Their invention consists merely of a
new filament, or coil, to replace the car
hon coil now In use in all incandescent
bulbs. 1t gives lamp two or three
times the length of life of the present
standard lamp, and gives the same
amount of light with a third of the
power.
Scientific Investigators have for years
been striving to improve on the carbon
filament, but all except the two men,
who have done their experimenting in
the Phoenix physical laboratory at CO.
lumbia have failed, and their discovery
Is so revolutionary that 1t has created
almost as profound a sensation as did
