One on the Teacher.

Among the corps of instructors in
one Of Washington's high schools is a
woman highly esteemed as a teacher
of American history. The class under
her care had under consideration one
day topics concerning the civil war
when one volunteered, in Illustration
OF some point, lurid account Of bat
tie in which. he claimed. an uncle of
his had participated.
The teacher interposed to observe
that the anecdote could hardly be cor
rect, as the uncle in question was near
her own age and she was not born IN
til after the close Of the war.
At this the boy seemed a trife cha
grined at being so evidently in the
wrong After few moments OF en-
barrassed silence he said, with the
naive air Of one who has much the best
of the situation:
"Oh. but. Miss Blank, did not
mean the Revolutionary warr'-Pitts-

Electric LIGHT Bulbs.
1T

1t has been remarked that the etfec-
tive life Of incandescent electric lamps
Is much longer with clear than with
ground glass bulbs. f. P. Hyde ex-
plains this fact as follows: A thin de-
post of carbon is formed on the in
terror surface of the bulbs. and this
nbsorbs certain portion of the radia-
ton from the filament. When the
glass is clear the light passes straight
through, suffering a definite losa from
the carbon film. When the glass is
frosted the light undergoes many re-
Elections in the interior OF the bulb
from the innumerable facets, and al
each reflection it loses something Oh
account of the obstructing film The
consequence is that the total amount
Of loss Is much greater with ground
glass than with clear glass. Mr..
Hyde's experiments show that the fila.
ment lasts as long In the one kind of
bulb as In the other.-Youth's Com
panion.

MaIarial SOsquitOes
An important Question Discussed

Can malaria be contracted IN marshy
localities independently of the mosquito?
In an experiment made by the famous
Manson. FIVE healthy individuals lived
for several summer months in a hut
on the Roman Campagna- They were
protected by mosquito netting over
doors. windows and bed During the
day they would go about unprotected.
but from sunset 10 sunrise would remain
in their mosqUito-proof hut. AT the end
CT the experiment all were in good
health.
This experiment proves also that the
night air is no more dangerous han
day air. but the real danger consists in
the presence OF infected mosquitoes OF a
species which seek their human food at
night.
To be immune from the dreaded ma
laria, you should take Elixir Babek, as a /
anti-malaria tonic and specific for the
destruction OF the malarial parasite. A
weil-knOwn New Orleans physician says
that Elixir Babek has proven valuable
IN malaria where other preparations have
failed.
Mr.. J. Middleton. OF Four Mile Run,
Va, says: Il have used Babek for four
for malaria. and have found Il more
than Is claimed for Il. Without Babek
] would be obliged 70 change my resi-
dence, as I cannot take Guinine IN any
OF its forms"
Thousands testify 20 the benefit de-
rived from Elixir Babek. and IL stands
