goose as presidential candidate.
When he refused to assist the ways

bill repeating all duties upon wood
pulp and print paper, he drove the
last nail into his coffin. Herman
Ritter, president of the American
Newspaper association, asked all men,
bers Of the Associated Press through

ately to Speaker Cannon and Repre-
sentatives Serene E. Payne and John

are holding back the wood pulp bill.

shaken congress to its center, and

press is solidly arrayed against him.
! One result Of this is the election OF
two national delegates from the First
congressional district in this state with
instructions to vote for Taft, so thai
Cannon will not get a solid Illinois

moral effect that it will have on the
presidential situation.

The fundamental value of tungsten
as lamp filament lies in it's wonder

impossible to melt this metal. AS a

Advancement in the Incandescent
Lamps.
The incandescent lamp has become
a big factor in life and business. The
total value of last years output in
this country is estimated at over
100000
Perhaps the most noteworthy adj
vancement in incandescent lighting
was the introduction, few months
ago, of the new metal filament lamps.
In the early experiments metals which
could stand reasonably high temper
atures without melting, such as plat
! mum, were tried but they broke
down or melted, before they attained
the results of even a good carbon

along these lines utilizing several rare

as starting point that the light from

metal that would withstand a much
higher temperature than carbon. After
the rare metal was produced in its
pure form it was found to give most
satisfactory results.
The chemical properties of tantalum
are very remarkable. 1t is very hard
and only recently has it been success
