Tho Principal Principle.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Permit me space I'm your columns 70
say that, In my opinion. no man de-
serves the protection Of the American
flag who deliberately refuses to rec
|ognize and consent 20 the right Of ma
jority rule; for that, as we al know.
Is the basic principle an which the en-
during foundation Of our government
Is laid.
That being so. the advocates Of H.
'cense cut the ground from under their
own feet and leave themselves abso-
lutely nothing to stand upon when
they declare that prohibition Is "tyr-
rany" and. therefore. a thing TO be re-
sisted IN the name Of human liberty.
For every man who has sufficient
Intelligence to properly exercise the
right Of franchise knows that prohibi-
ton. especially when brought into
operation through local option, is sim
ply an expression OF the viii Of the
majority. ascertained by due process
OF law-and. therefore, something that
demands the respect OF every law
abiding citizen. Therefore. the man
who declares that the principle Of local
option Is wrong and an enemy Of our
rightful liberties. has won for himself
the badge Of undesirable citizen" for
he repudiates the first principle OF our
citlzenship; and the one who says pro-
.hibition Is failure because It cannot
be enforced. only gives expression TO
that foolish and oft-eXplodod idea that
our people are not capable OF self-gov-
ernment-that they are incompetent 20
administer the laws that they nave en-
acted.
The man who takes this position be-
rttles his own Intelligence, exposes his
own unfairness. makes thrust at the
best government on earth and offers an
insult to our country's flag.
That New Zealand gentleman Is OF
course. exempt from this charge. He
Is not IN our class. Yours,

THE ELECTRIC CRATER.
How the Arc Light Is Produced Be.
tween the Electrodes.

How the Arc Light Is Produced Be-
tween the Electrodes.
Everybody knows that an arc light
is formed by causing an electric cur
rent to pass between the points Of two
carbon rods. One Of these IS called
the positive and the other the mega
tive elecuode, and the current passes
from the former 10 the latter. Parti-
eles Of carbon are carried on from the
positive electrOde until It's end be-
comes cup shaped.
To the little cup thus formed the
name Of crater is applied. and from
this crater four-hfths OF the light Is
emitted. The negative electrode does
not become so hot as the other. Be
tween the two a little cloud Of vapor-
ized carbon is formed, rising from the
crater, and this vapor gives forth a
golden yellow light. But # IS over.
powered by the light Of the crater It.
SELF which has a violet tinge due to the
incandescence OF solid particles OF car
bon. The arc Of light extended from
one elcctrode TO the other also has an
axis OF violet color which Is it's most
brilliant part. The fact that most Of
the luminosity comes from the crater
explains the reason why the light does
not appear equal in all directions. 1t

which shows the largest portion Of the
crater.
An interesting effect Is often noticed
when dies OF other insects futter about
an arc light. Their shadows cast on a
neighboring wall appear gigantic. The
reason is that the light Of the crater
is concentrated in point smaller than
the bodies Of the insects, and the bound
aries Of the shadows consequently
widen with increase Of distance.-St
