officials attribute the great increase
In the consumption Of cigarettes In
this country.
Spain Is getting her revenge. We
whipped her to a finish 10 years ago
and ever since her avenger, a little
insignificant cigarette, has been get
ting in It's deadly work. The constl-
tuition followed the flag, and when II
arrived at its destination II found
there a box Of the little white coffin
nails.
Uncle Sam Is awakening to the sting
In that 1O-year-old victory. His doc
tor-admirai Surgeon General Rlxey,
has come along with a startling story
about the increase Of cigarette smok-
ing I'm the navy since the Spanish
war. And now John G. Capers, who
looks after our mutual uncle's inter-
nal revenue has come to bat with fig
ures which make the old gentleman
stare. He discovers that since the fis-
cal year 1899, which comes within the
Spanish war period, the people OF the
United States have almost doubled
their annual use Of manufactured cl-
cigarettes. Uncle Sans children made
ana smoked 2,SO5, ,230,737 Of the little
coffin nails in 1899. And in the year
ended June 30. 1908. they had work.
ed up their appetlttes and capacity
to 5.402,336,113. The Intervening pc
riod was marked by steady devel-
opment of that banker which only
the cigarette gratifies.
The absolute triumph Of the cigar
cite is demonstrated by its forward
stride during the year OF tight money.
II went ahead. while al lother tobac-
co products fell behind. The total
domestic production and consumption
of smoking tobacco fell off 5000, 900
pounds from 1907, and even snuff fell
off approximately 100000 pounds.
While the use OF cigarettes has almost
doubled during the last 10 years, the
consumption OF smoking tobacco has
advanced from 237,132,71O pounds in
1899 to 1854. .1O9,395 pounds in 1908;
of snuff, from 14,6271O6 pounds in
1899 to 22,547.762 in 1908. and OF ci-
gars from 5.O77,2S7S24 in 1899 10

AMERICANS TO BUILD
OPERA HOUSE IN PARIS

Centaninl, secretary to Gatti-Casaz'
zan, manager of the Metropolitan op-
era house. arrived with Nine Centan.
ini on La Lorraine yesterday. He has
had troublous time in rounding VI
his chorus-troublous as the mana
ger himself has had in cllnching the
contracts of the stars for the Metro
polltan.
Just as he was about to said Gen.
tanini learned that 23 of his song
sters had backed out, and he had to
hustle and beat up 25 more. He said
he was driven crazy by the anxiety and
bother Gatti- -Casanni sails on next
Saturday for New York.
Gentanini announced that Paris was
to have the finest opera house in the
world. American capital is TO be the
factor in building it. 1t will be known
as the Theater Champs Elysees. II
will face upon two fine avenues, Ga
briel and Matignon, and also the
Champs Elysees.
Among the American millionaires
back of it, Centanini says, are ]. P
Morgan, william X. Vanderbilt, sr.
James Hazen Hyde. who is now a res
ident Of Paris; James Stillman and
Otto Kahn.
European millions will also aid in
its building. According to Gatti-Cas-
azza's secretary. the Rothchilds and
the Stearns of Paris, are the princi-
pal projectors. 1t was the Roth
childs who drew the American patrons
Of music into the scheme.
The ground is TO be broken in a few
weeks. The site is donated by the city
Of Paris. The new home of the muse
will be devoted exclusively to music
and be open the year round.

A Good Thing,

The postofflce department has is
sued an order under which users o,
large quantities of postage stamps
may have them perforated with letters
to identify their ownership and pre-
vent pilfering The perforation must
not be over one-thirty-second of an
inch in diameter, and the perforated
letters must not occupy space more
than half an inch square.
Such a privilege, If taken advan-
tage of, will make 1t impossible for
office employees to steal stamps for
t'eir own use or sell them to stamp
brokers or dispose of them in any
other way.-EX.

HOW TO READ METERS
THAT CHARGES LIGHT

! Pendletonians who have wondered
! long at the manner In which a record
OF the electricity used I'm their house
hold was made will be interested in
the imitation into the mysteries of
meter reading and meter mechanism
as explained by the following state
ment from the manufacturers Of
those little machines
OF all the mechanical arrange
ments ever introduced in the home
the recording wattmeter is the most
mystifying. Although this little de-
vice decides on the amount of the
monthly electric light bill its ways
are so dark and mysterious that the
dinary layman cannot even read II,
let alone tell how it works.
After all. It Is a very simple de-
vice. consisting essentially Of a tiny
motor which actuates the dial point
ers by means of a train of gears. The
motor is in circuit with the lamps
and revolves at a speed proportionate
with the current being used 1t only
one lamp is turned on the motor re-
wolves very slowly. increasing In speed
with every additional lamp. Or II a
number Of lamps are in use and one
is turned off the motor dimnishes i'm
speed and will continue TO do so for
every lamp that is extingulshed.
The reading Of a meter is as simple
as It's construction and any user of
electric current can read his own
meter and check his electric light
bills by following a few simple direc-
tons Electricity is measured by the
kilowatt-hour or by the watt-hour,
one kilowatt being equivalent to one
thousand watts.
First Note carefully the unit in
which the dials read. on all meters
made by the General Electric COM
pany, the figures above or below the
dlals Indicate the value of one COM
plete revolution Of the pointer, there
fore on division indicates one-tenth |
OF the amount marked above or be-
low.
Second. Note direction of rotation |
OF dial pointers. Counting from the
right the pointers Of the first, third !
and fifth dials of the General Electric .
meters rotate in the di-
rection of the hands of a watch,
whereas the pointers of the second
and fourth dials move in the opposite
direction.
Third Read dials from right to
left, setting down which has been last
passed or is just covered by the poin-
ter.
Note carefully. Each dial reading
depends on the reading OF the one
next to 1t on the right Unless the
one before 1t has cc~,"lcted 4 revolu-
ion or passed the 0. the pointer
which is being read has not complet-
'd the division upon which it may ap-
pear to rest, and still indicates the
'igures last passed over.
Fifth. See IL the register is direct
Z aiding; l. e.. has no multiplying con-
tant
Some registers are not direct read
ng, but require that the dial read
ng be multiplied by a constant in or
Ter to obtain the true reading. If the
cgister face bears the words, "mul-
iply by w." multiply by @" etc,
he actual reading should be divided
W in the first case or doubled in
he second, and similarly for other
Sixth. Subtract from the present
eading the reading of last month,
multiply the difference in kilowatt
iours by the rate per lllowatt hour
ou are paying and you have the
mount of your bill in dollars and
ents.
