without Il or It's Equivalent ".

Without II or It's Equivalent We
Could Have No Arc Light.
Tie electric arc light as now so com
monty used is produced by the passa &c
of u powerful electric current between
the slightly separated ends of u pair Of
carbon rods, or carbons about twelve
inches long and from three-eighths to
one-half inch in diameter, placed YER
tically end to end in the lamp. The
lamp mechanism is SO constructed that
when no current Is passing the upper
carbon, which Is always made the posi-
tive one, rests upon the lower by the
action OF gravity, but as soon as the
electric current Is established the car
bons are automatically separated about
an eighth Of an inch thus forming Z
gap OF high resistance in the electric
circuit, across which the current is
forced, resulting in the production Of
intense heat The ends of the carbons
are quickly heated to brilliant mean
descence, and by the burning action of
the air are maintained in the form Of
blunt points. AS the carbons burn
away, lHS .lcSslS LI0
upper one downward just fast enough
to maintain the proper separation
The carbons are not heated equally,
the upper or positive one being much
the hotter. A small cup shaped cavity or
Crater" ordinarily less than an eighth
of an inch in diameter, is formed in its
end, the glowing concave surface of
which emits the greater part Of the to-
tai light. In lights Of the usual size.
something like half a horsepower Of en-
ergy is concentrated in this little era
ter, and its temperature is limited only
by the vaporization of the carbon. Car
bon being the most refractory sub
stance known, the temperature of the
crater is the highest yet produced arti-
ficially and ranks next to that Of the
sun. 1t is fortunate that nature has
provided us With such substance as
carbon, combining, as 1t does, the high
eSt resistance to heat with the neces-
sary electrical conductivity. Without
carbon or an equivalent-and none is
known-we could have no arc light

David Bratnard ana Yale.

IN the course of "a talk on the life Of

with which both men were identified.
Brainar e, entered Yale in 1889 and was
expelled ed In his junior year after being

An ODD SEA FOOD.
Virtues of the Gigantic. Marine Snail
Known ms the Abalone.

Virtues of the Gigantic Marine Snail
Known AS the Abalone.
Though the flesh of the abalonc is II
nutritious aud wholesome article OF
food, highly esteemed by the Chinese
and japanese, few people IN the Unit
ed States know anything about the
abalone except that it has a large shell
with a bright, pearly interior. The aba
lone is a gigantic sea snail, whose nat
ural home is the deep water off a rocky
coast. The whole coast of central and
lower California, from Cape Mendo-
elmo to Cape st. Lucas, abounds III aba
lones, the supply being absolutely I'M.
limited. As fast as an area of fishing
ground is depleted it is repeopled by
full grown apalones coming in from
the ocean. Three months after piece
Of ground has been thoroughly cleared
by the abalone fishers the supply is as
abundant as ever The contents Of the
large abalone shell weigh as much as
two pounds.
Long ago the Chinese and japanese
discovered the value of the meat as
wholesome and digestible food. The
supply of abalones in Chinese waters
is, however, small, and the fishing
grounds off the coast of Japan were SO
heavily drawn upon that they became
exhausted. The people are forbidden
by ali imperial edict from taking them.
The Japanese and Chinese in Califor-
mia dive for the abalones, which crawl
about the rocks at the bottom of the
sea in deep water outside the surf
The divers bring them ashore and
spread them out in sunny place to
dry. This process reduces the ;balona
to about onethird Of its original bulk,
leaving a tough, horny product. The
dried abalones are sent to the orient
where they are soaked and stewed or
ground into powder and used for max
Ing soup.
In the pure, deep water of the ocean
the abalone lives, and as it is a cleaD
feeder its flesh is always sound and
wholesome, being superior in this re.
spect=. to that of oysters and CLAIMS,
which live near shore and are often
contaminated by sewage and other inn
purities. The viscera. Of an abalone,
unlike those of the clam or oyster,
which must be swallowed whole. are
quite separate from the muscular or
edible part and can be detached by
single stroke Of knife.

The Giant. Staircase.

One Of the most widely known geo
logical curiosities in. the vicinity Of
Cork is series of knobs or knots pro-
1ecting from the face Of a cliff. There
are sixteen Of these huge projections
all together, all regularly set in the
face of the cliff, one above the other
forming a series Of such uniformity as
to give 1t the general appearance Of a
stairway. Since time out Of memory
this queer ascent and its projecting
steps" have been known as the Gil
ants Staircase.

Holes In the Legs.

A scientist says that hogs legs per- form function not known to any oth CT animal, and that is an escape pipe or pipes for the discharge of waste water or sweat not used in the econ omy of the body These escape pipes are situated upon the inside of the legs, above and below the knee in the fore legs and above the gambrel joints in the hind legs. but in the latter they are very small and functions light. Upon the inside of the fore leg they are in the healthy hog always active, so that moisture is always there from about or below these orifices or ducts in the healthy hog, The holes in the leg and breathing in the hog are his principal and only means of ejectins an excess of heat above the normal. and when very warm the hog will open the mouth and breathe through that channel as well as the nestrils.

Lone Distance Skea Races.

As a test of skill, strength and en- durance it would be difficult to beat the long distance skee races i'll Norway and Sweden. Of these contests the most severe is undoubtedly the twelve mile race over the nountajlS Wbieh opens the great annual "SnoW Derby at HolmenkoIlen, about four miles from Ghri$tiana. 1n this race, which begins with q steep ascent of 400 to 900 feet, the siSee lobner has to jump clefts and ravinea, to hop over fallen tree trunks and overcome every kind of obstacle that man can devise; to rush down steep dcclvities and to make his devious way through noun tain forests until he reaches the goal triumphant, but utterly exhausted Considering the arduous nature of these contests. some of the perform ances are remarkable. Thus the win ner of an international speed competi- ton held at Stockholm covered the course of forty miles at an average speed of eight and one-half miles an hour.

aeooars and Weather,

"What weather is best for our busi- ness? Why, winter weather" said tiis beggar. ''Surc, winter makes peopla generous to the poor. In summer leo- pie have an idea that everybody can get along somehow. It's warm tEen, you know, and they think the poor won't suffer anyway. But the colder tho weather the warmer it makes peo- plc's hearts. and tie more they give then in some ways. The one draw hacl: 10 my partiet,ai line of bushes; fin winter is that in cold weather every body goes about in the streets witE gloves OH and oyercoat buttone1 up, and men that would put down their names for good sum on subscrip~ ton list indoors. where they could gig it n comfort, are not so ready to drag off their gloves and drag open their coats and 20 down in their jeans for & nickel out of doors.

Sunf,ower Most DeceitfuI of Plants.

"The sunfower," said naturalist. "is the most deceitful of all plants, for 1t has fooled six nations. Six nations believe that the sunfower turns to- ward the sun. and so thoroughly are they deluded that they call 1t by a name which bears witness to their er- TOT. Thus. the French call the sun. flower tournesol: the Spanish call 1t girasol; the Italians call it girasole: the Hungarians call 1t naptaforgo. Each of these words means turn to the sum The English and Americans don't go quite that far in admitting themselves to be the plants dupes They only call it sunflower. They mean by that name. though. quite as much as the other names imply. The belief is general among six nations that the sunflower turns with the sun and always faces the luminary. As matter of fact. there is only one flower that turns or keeps with the sun namely, the sun spurge."

AUTO DAMAGED; MULE DEAD.
Result of Accident in Which Mr.. E, g.
Portner Was Participant,

BE Edwin G. Portner. president of the Port
ner Brewing Company of Alexandria, was
driving his big touring car from Alexan-
dria to Washington last evening, at a
moderate speed, when he ran into pair
or mules drawing a heavily laden brick
wagon driven by colored boy Mr. Port
ner and the boy were unhurt, but one of
the mules had a hind leg cut off and
had to be killed later. The automobile
and the brick wagon were badly damaged
The accident occurred a short distance
the other side of the new Highway bridge.
MIR. Portner states that as he neared the
team he footed his horn and the boy driver
VINO, he claims, was asleep at the time
Jumped, and In his excitement pulled his
team into the path of the automobile 1t
was too late then for Mr. Portner, who was
operating the machine, to avert the COL
lfsion, as he had already steered as far
from the wagon as possible without
turning over. In his efforts he drove the
machine into the curb, completely demoI-
ishing his right front wheel.
Rebounding. the automobile struck one
or the mules severing it's hind leg Mr.
Portners view Is that his presence of mind
and care saved him from being hurled to
the roadway. The boy driver was knocked
from his high seat by the collision. but,
as stated, was unhurt. He quickly
gained his feet and commenced hurting
stones at the autoist. number of other
colored men soon collected and their atti-
tude toward Mr.. Portner was very threat
ening for a time He succeeded however
In pacifying them and left the scene un-
mOleSted otherwise.

HUSTLE THE WORK
HURRY AT LEAGUE ISLAND TO
FIT FOUR BATTLEsHIPs.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. October 3.-Acting
under orders Of Secretary of the Navy Met
calf, every effort will be made at League
Island to place the four battleships there in
conditionto accompany the North Atlantic
squadron, which Is to make the 13.O00-mile
journey around Cape Horn to Puget sound.
The orders are positive that the battle
ships must be ready for sea duty by Decem-
Der Is. The vessels that will be fitted out
for the trip are the Georgia, Maine. Kansas
and Kearsarge. four of the most powerful
and formidable of the country's sea fighters.
The Georgia and Kansas have already ar
rived at the yard, and the other two are
due October Q. Everything possible Is being
done to complete the needed overhauling
and repairs, and Commandant Pendleton
and Captain OF the Yard Wilmer say the
work will be pushed vigorously. All the men
who were laid off during the slack season
VIII be re-employed, in addition to many
other mechanics.
The government has been active at this
port in securing the supply of coal which
the Dig Meet will use during the trip. Thou
sands Of tons have been loaded in the past
month. The Golfers engaged in carrying the
coal from here include the Ajax, Brutus
Sterling and Lebanon, which make trips
from here to Pensacola, Fla. whence the
1uel Is transferred to ST. Thomas where
the government has coaling station.
