FIickerine Electric Lamn..

It has been noticed that metallic fla
ment lamps are much more liable to
flicker with small and rapid fluctuations
of voltage than carbon filament lamps.
This is accounted for by the smaller
thickness and heat capacity Of the me-
tallie flament. The effect may be OBJ
served by mounting a disc with a white
cross painted on il on the shaft of an in
duetion motor. and Illuminating the ro-
tating cross, first by means Of a carbon
and then by means of metallic flament
lamp. In the former case the cross ap-
pears so much blurred as to be practically
invisible, while in the latter the rotation
of the cross is clearly pereeptible Il has
been said that it VIII be impossible TO

Argument that the tariff duty should

which is trying 20 determine whether or
not the high price of print paper is due
10 paper trust rather than TO the
tariff.
Mr.. Norris read many letters he had re-
ceived from newspaper publishers ali over
the country, telling Of the publishers
knowledge that there is a weli-establish
ed combination among the paper manu-
facturers TO boost the price Of paper.
One letter recounted how the paper
manufacturers had on one occasion raised
the price because Of a drought that shut
of the water supply, and made the manu-
facture dearer. II was afterward found
out however said the letter. that the
manufacturers had foreseen the drought
by nine months and had made provision
for IT, so that the raise in price was un-
necessary.
Anyway" said Chairman Mann, these
gentlemen were good weather prophets
Among the exhibits placed in the rec
ords by Mr. Norris was a letter from a
publisher in Rockp0rt H., addressed TO
Senator Cullom, OF that State
The publisher said that some time ago
he purchased a carload of paper from a
