TUNGSTEN BURNERS
MORE ECONOMICAL
Increase Efficiency of Electric Service
and in Seine Instances Increase
Electric Companies Revenues.

The new Tungsten lamps are SO
much more economical than those of
the old type that the management of
the electric companies have hesitated
to introduce them for fear that their
revenues from the supply of current
would be cut down.
The secretary of the largest Den
yer company reports that his COM
pany has not thus far suffered any
loss in revenue from the use of Tung-
stem lamps, but in many installations
has enjoyed increased revenue. In
explanation of this statement it may
be well to explain the situation in
Denver in the fall of 1908. The COM
pany had not been actively pushing
the Tungsten lamp previous to that
time Some of the contractors and
supply dealers in the city were be-
ginning to get them into large install
lations with the argument that they
would save the consumer money. In
such cases the contractor would, of
course, install lamps of lower Wattage
and decrease the consumers bills
without increase in illumination. The
company met this situation by put
ting its representatives to work in
PRODUCING these lamps among consul
mers On the basis of increased illu-
mination rather than reduced con-

Texas and Her Railroads.

Texas is justly proud of her rail
roads, albeit the state is vigilant in
holding them closely amenable to all
her laws. And the railroad compa-
MES of the State ought to be proud of
Texas for one thing at least: She
doesn't tax them to death. From a
statement prepared by Tax Commits
sioner Dashiell at Austin from a re-
cent report by. the Interstate Com
merce Commission as to the average
tax per mile paid by the railroads
throughout the United States it ap-
pears that the rates in Texas are con-
siderably lower than the average
The average tax per mile paid by the
railroads of the country is $37087,
while in Texas the average is only
192.42-only a trifle more than half
of the general average. The railroad
companies of Texas, operating an ag-
gregate mileage of 1886 in 1908,
paid in taxes $2,524,S11; the ratio
of the total taxes paid to the total
of operating revenues was only 2.98
per cent. while this ratio for the rail-
roads of the country at large was
Ds1O pCA OCAl DlOSl IHG
railroad interests of Texas have no
complaint to make on the score of
their tax bills. Commissioner Dash
iell declares further in this connec-
ton that from present indications
there will be little, if any, protest
against the preliminary estimates
made by the State Tax Board of the
intangible assets of the railroads of
the State. Indeed, three of the big
lines in the State have already indi-
Gated that they are satisfied with the
estimate Much has been published
from time TO time about Texas thav-
ing it in for the railroads. but this
matter of the light taxes imposed on
them is something in direct and posi-
tive reputation of the charge.-New
York Commercial.

When Teddy Arrived in Africa.

When Teddy Arrived in Africa.
The wuxwux sat on his great hind
legs,
And looked DER the top of the trees
The aapergub turned a quick somer-
sault
When he heard the oomagark
SneeZe.
The rammerjack piked for the forest
depths,
While the raZzilitt mourned his fate
And the rikirk flew, and the pijib, too
The shuvelo dug down in the ground
To get far cut of harms way;
The wizzywitt climbed to the topmost
tree,
And hid himself night and day
The filligabb swan far out to sea,
And dove for the depths below;
And the fizziwock shook with a
hunted look,
While the whinniyick died of woe.
A reign of terror swept jungleland,
Fen the sun refused to come out;
The limbs of the trees all shook with
fear,
And the Kafir king had the govt.
And the great glabberacker and the
filliloolum,
When they saw those guns and
shoes,
Just fell with a jar at the feet of T.
R.,
And murmured: ooh, what's the
use?"
