FIVE TO FOUR

The shades of night were falling free
When up from Washington, D. c.,
There comes DEGREES, all handed down
BY judges wrapped in black silk
gown
Five to four"
The income tax? They pOndered late
And argufied with learning great:
They seized their pens and graveIy
wrote
OpiniOns-then they took the vote
Five to four"
The merger? Twas a famous case.
Each judge sat there with solemn face
And heard the arguments so keen:
When the decision came twas seen
Five to four"
Our wards beyond the deep blue sea?
All, surely here they will agree!
But after rods of legal lore
Behold the spectacle once more
Five to four"
"A law to safeguard human life,
To care for orphans and for wife;
All, judges on that will agreei
But there's the recOrd-lOOk and see

Explaining the Candle Power.

In Illuminating circles one hears a
great deal about candle power" and
nearly everyone, if asked, would in
stantly reply that a candle-power was
the light given by single candle. But
candles differ in luminosity as well as
incandescent lamps, and candle-power
is not one thing but several according
to the country where used.
In Great Britain and the United
States the standard light unit is the
amount given by ''spermaceti candle
burning up at the rate of 120 grains an
hour with flame forty five millimeters
high" or 10 inches. In France the
standard candle is made of stearine,
and Germany's candle was, until few
years ago, paratfine. Now the latter
country uses the so-called Hefner unit
of light, the amount given by certain
form of lamp burning acetate of amy.
Another lamp standard. called the car
GEL was used in France. In this puri-
fed rape seed Oil is burned. Because
of this unsatisfactory international
chaos it is now proposed that our ma
tional bureau of standards in Washing
ton take steps to establish standard
international candle which would be
acceptable to at least nine countries.

COME TO MAINE.

1t is well, as we stand upon the
threshold of another vacation season,
to call attention to the fact that the
State of Maine contains not less than
COCO streams and 800 lakes and ponds,
in nearly all of which there are to be
found game fish, from the thirty pound
salmon-which often brings dollar or
more a pound-to the smallest and
juiciest brook trout. These places are
all easily reached by railroads and
steamboats,. In all these inland towns
board at reasonable rates may be found,
as well as all the pleasures and com
forts of country life. Everything is SO
inviting at the present time it seems
hard to conceive how people can stay
away from these great attractions. And
when we come to the sea coast, there
is nothing like it in creation, to say
nothing of the outlying islands, dotted
with summer cottages. Neither Bar
Harbor or Moosehead Lake has all the
attractions, but in all the hooks and
corners on the coast are resorts that
hold out renewed life and health to the
worn and weary from the great crowd
ed cities who come here every year, and
return home with new vigor and elastic
footsteps.-Somerset Reporter.

Literary News and Notes.

Three striking and powerful discus
sions of great questions make the July
| McClure's an especially important num-
Der. Samuel Hopkins Adams treats,
in the opening article, of appalling loss
of life due to the lack of sane methods
for the protection of the health of the
American public. Judge Mckenzie Gle
land, In statement of his judicial ex-
perIence IN Chicago, shows the extraor-
binary success of a new plan for deal
| ing with city criminals, which he inau-
gurated in that city. And Will C.
Barnes gives a fresh and vigorous char
acter sketch of Clifford Pinchot, and his,
fight to preserve one of our chief ma
tional assets.
There is splendid refreshment for the
hot weather in the July Everybody's.
O.. Henry leads off with picturedue
tale of the West, "The Last of the
Troubadours," and he is followed by E.
J. Rath, who has an indescribably funny
tale, "Mr. Trimble's Speech" and by
Arthur Sullivant Hoffman, who puts
his polite and gentlemanly burglar into
a new setting the story is called ''Pat-
sy Moran and the Trappings of Chival-
ry." Anne Warner has pathetic
little child-story, "The Surrenders of
CORVALLIS" that one cannot read with
out heart throb; and Harrison Rhodes
contributes fascinating society yarn,
''The Arrival of Cornelia.'' There is,
too. dramatic and powerful tale of
the North Pole region in Albert White
Vorse's story, ''rheir Brothers Keep

Up to the time of the Revolution

the author, has rebuilt in fancy this
stately manor with it's gables and

INTERESTING TIMES
IN INDIANAPOLIS
Local Telephone Men Watch
ing the Situation.

Richmond telephone men now look
toward indianapolis as some interest
ing developments are expected in that
city. for in petition filed with the
board Of public works, the Indianapolis
Telephone company again asks for an
amended franchise from the city. that
would be. in effect practically a new
franchise. with higher rates and a
longer term of life. The amended
franchise also would eliminate the pro
vision in the present contract in regard
to the city's right to acquire the plant
of the company; would decrease the
company's annual payment to the city;
would remove amy limit to the compa-
ny's capital stock and would strike out
the provision compelling the company
to connect with the lines of any out
side company asking for such connec-
ton. The provision i'll regard to the
extension of local service on petition OF
property holders is also eliminated.
The petition is receiving active OPP
position in the capital city.

Gen. Bells comments showed him 20
be heartily in accord with the presi-
dents views as to the propriety and
necessity of these tests. He intimateI
that in the future these endurance
tests will call for thirty miles day
in the saddle for three consecutive
days, but he also suggests that when
the test has reached that degree OF
severity some consideration will enter
into the determination of which Off
GERS shall be subjected TO it, the infer
ence being that the order will not be
all-inclusive, as it has been in the
past.

There was letter for Ledyard every
morning They annoyed him, and he
sent for his general counsel one day

to find the letter writer. He found
him and made a business proposition
Now. see here he said, Il want you
to stop writing letters to Mr.. Ledyard.
If you will quit for year 1 will give
you $500
The letter writer consented gladly.
Things went along swimmincly for
eleven months. Ledyard was happy.
and Russell was happy. Then there
was wreck on the road. The letter
writer could not resist the opportunity,
and he wrote to Ledyard and told him
what he thought about the road and

hRGAND LAMPS.
A Swiss Doctors Invention and What
1t Acccmp Iished.


What did Argaud do for the lamp?
Examine an ordinary lamp in which
coal oil is burned. The chimney pro-
tects the flame from sudden gusts of
wind and also creates draft of air,
just as the IRE chimney creates draft.
Argand's lamp was the first TO have
chimney. Look below the chimney and
you will see open passages through
which air may pass upward and find
its way to the wick. Notice further
that as this draft of air passes upward
it is so directed that when the lamp Is
burning an extra quantity of air plays
directly upon the wick. Before Argand
the wick received no supply of air.
Now notice-and this is very important
that the wick of our modern lamp is
Fat or circular. but thin. The air in
abundance plays upon both sides OF the
thin wick and burns it without making
smoke. Smoke is simply half burned
particles (sootl Of burning substance.
The particles pass off half burned be-
cause enough air has not been sup
piled. Now Argand, by making the
wick thin and by causing plenty Of air
! TO rush into the fame. thereby caused
it to burn with white flame.
After the Invention of Argand the
art OF lamp making improved by leaps
and by bounds. More progress was
made in twenty years after 1873 than
had been made in twenty centuries be-
fore. New burners were invented, new
aud better oils were used and better
wicks made. but all the new kinds Of
lamps We're patterned after the Ar
