Electric Light Bulbs.

1t has been remarked that the effec-
tive life of mCandcsCcut electric lamps
IS much longer with clear than with
ground glass bulbs. +. L. Hyde ex-
plains this fact rs follows: \ thin de
posit of carbon is formed on the in.
terror surface of the bulbs, ana this
absorbs Il certain portion Of the radia-
tion from the filHmcnt When the
glass is clear the light passes straight
through, suffering a definite loss from
the carbon finn. When the glass Is
frosted the light undergocs many re-
Elections in the interior of the bulb
from the innumc"able facets. and al
each reflection ii loses something on
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 I'm the one kind of
bulb as I'm the other-Youth's Com
panion.

A sort OF opium Is obtained from the

Euphemisms For mad"

In order to avoid the blunt word
'mad" many euphemisms are resorted
20 I'm the English language. While
'1unacy" refers to the supposed influ-
ence OF the moon, "insane" simply
means unhealthy; "imbecile" signifies
only weak, and "crazy," meaning de-

The Mystery Of This Wonderful Force
In Mature.

The Mystery Of This Wonderful Force
In Mature.
When plants are grown In recepta-
cles fastened 10 the rim Of rapidly
revolving wheel, the shoots and leaves
grow toward the center and the roots
away from tho center Of revolution.
This Is remarkable as showing the in
huencc Of centrifugal motion upon
growth
But the earth, any point in whose
surface at the equator passes through
fifteen miles I'm one minute, has cen
trifugal motion so swift and so great
that ii is almost incOnceivable. Why,
then, reasoning on the basis OF this
wheel experiment, do not trees and
plants grow In the directions they are
urged by this centrifugal force-name-
ly, with leaves and boughs toward the
earth's center and roots pointing to the
sky?
The answer Is because there Is a
force called gravltation which over
powers the enormous centrifugal force
and practically reverses II. Whether
this Ovcrmasterlng force which we call
gravitation IS electrical or what II Is
no one has yet been able to discover.
There can be no doubt that it is the
greatest force we know Of.
TO unveil the mystery of IL would be
TO become masters Of Il power whose
possibilities dazzle the human mind.

ing, water and air navigation, proiec-
tiles aud many other branches of me-

according TO distances traversed.
The curious institution came into ex-
istence I'm connection with the found
ling hospital In Guilford street. When
this charity was first established, II
was understood that It's operations
would be confined TO London and its
environs. But the people OF the coun-
try towns and villages heard Of 1t and
showed a decided disposition TO share
In It's advantages; hence the "baby
postw
All over the country there were men
and women who entered vigorously
into the business OF carrying chill
dren TO London and deposlting them
at tho gates Of the founding hospital
The charge was guIneas from distant
localities like York and Monmouth,
down TO n guinea from places situated
within thirty TO fifty miles OF the me-
tropolis. The unfortunate infants were
borne on horseback in panniers, two to
each pannier, or In wagons lined with
straw, for which the charge was some
what less.
Naturally abuses grew up In con-
nection with the traffic. But, even
apart from them, the mortality among
the posted" babies was terrible. Thus,
out Of 14,934 received at the hospital
In four years, only 400 lived to be
"apprenticed out" being a mortality OF
more than 20 per cent.
Eventually parliament passed a
measure abolishing the practice, and
