Meanwhile the country which the emil grants leave examines them as to num- Der and character and the reasons tor their leaving home. When Ireland be- gan to suffer from diminishing popula- tion, owing 10 excessive emigration to America, the British government, and individuals interested h the welfare of Ireland, tried to revive Irish industries and improve social conditions, in order to stem the outgoing food. Now Swe- den and Norway are investigating the advantages which attract their citizens to this country, with view to duplicat- Ing those advantages at home.

Immigration and emigration are words so near alike that they are often confused, and they do express the same thing from different points of view. Ev- cry person who becomes part of the immigration problem Of this country Is already part of the emigration problem of his native country. Underneath the special needs and beliefs of nations. the basic reason for migration lies in an economic readjustment Of population to resources The overcrowded country parts with Its surplus labor to the land ef surplus opportunity. Soon the re ceiylng country begins to subject immi- grants to close examination as to their number and their character. This ex- animation constitutes the immigration problem as We know II in America.

NEW ELECTRIC LAMP.
Bulb Which IL Contains Said te
 Burn $500 Hours.


 Consul E. T. Liefeld forwards from Freiburs an abstract from Paris newspaper concerning a new electric lamp which 1t Is said will revolution ize the present system of lighting. The article was wired from Vienna and reads:
 An Austrian chemist, Dr. Hans Kuzel, has. after many years hard work, succeeded in constructing a new electric lamp which he calls the syrius lamp. AS Is well known, incandescent gaslight Is cheaper than electric light, because the hlsment wires of the light are very expensive and the glass bulbs soon wear out. Dr. Kuzel has now in- vented a new substitute for the glow thread by forming out of common and cheap metals and metallolds collolds in a plastic mass which can be handled like clay and which when dry be comes hard as stone. Out of this mass very thin wire threads are then sharp- ened, which are of uniform thickness and of great homogeneity. These two characteristics are of great value in the technics of incandescent lamps.
 The Kuzel or Syrius lamp hardly needs one-quarter of the electric cur rent which the ordinary electric lamp with a flament wire requires. ExperI- ments. it Is asserted. have shown that the lamp can burn for $500 hours at a stretch. Another advantage is that the intensity Of the light of the new lamp always remains the same, the lamp bulbs never become deadened, as Is now the case The new lamp, 1t iT said, will be put on the market soon.

Restion of talent in the major leagues

No club should be allowed TO carry
more players than will safeguard it
