]. L. GAZELY A GOOD SHOT

Messrs. J. L. Gazely, j. J. Canning
and Will Collier were members of a
hunting party recently who went
down the river to Ed. Davis's place.
rabbit and squirrel hunting When
they reached Davis's place Mr.. Gazely
spied duck on the further side of
the pond and sneaked over to the
edge thereof and shot seventeen times
at the duck and killed it and drove
it into the weeds. When he was thru
shooting and satisfied that the duck
was dead he asked Mr.. Davis for a
boat SO that he could go and get the
duck. To his surprise and astonish-
ment, Mr.. Davis informed him that
that was decoy duck and there was
no use of going to any trouble to try
and get it. The laugh and treats
were on Gazely and of course the
story just reached here and Gaze
ly has had to treat several times since
he returned home to keep it quiet.
Please do not repeat this story as we
promised Mr.. Gazely we would not say
any thing about it, for he says that
he knows the difference between a
real and decoy duck.

SNEAK THIEF AT WORK

Wednesday night Oct. 27, some sneak
thief of very small caliber entered
the business place of M. J. Feavel from
the river side or rear entrance. He
broke into the shed or lean to on the
north side of the building and stole
several pieces of granite ware to the
value Of S. or S.. The officers have
some evidence Of the guilty party,
which we hope will lead to his identi
ty. We did not think Grand Rapids
sheltered anyone that was of the sneak
thief order. Anyone who would be in
the need of granite ware would be
readily supplied if their wants were
made known to the ladies of the Fed

of a piece or two Of granite ware to
make it Necessary ID steal it. We hope
the guilty one will be apprehended.

THE TUNGSTEN LAMP

| bought my first Tungstan lamp
yesterday, and when | inserted it
in the socket and turned on the light,
[ was little surprised at it's eXces-
sive brilliancy, but was assured, when
I bought it, that it would use great
deal less electric energy than the COM
mon lamp, and had d curiosity to
know the reason for it.
Soon afterwards [ was surprised to
see fly sitting complacently upon
the glowing bulb. He evidently
found it was not too hot for his COM
fort [ touched the bulb and found
it was only warm, while the bulb Of
the other lamps were too hot to
handle.
The explanation was then simple.
The Tungsten lamp converts nearly
all of the electric energy to light,
while the common lamp converts a
large part of the current into heat,
which is practically wasted.
Heat and light are so closely con-
nected that scientists have always
found it hard to separate them.
Nature seems to be able to do it in a
great many instances. The light of
the moon and the stars, the light Of
the fire fly, tie glow worm and phos-
phorent, decaying wood, are all ex-
amples Of light in nature that are
almost absolutely free from heat. To
accomplish this end, in an artificial
way, has been the aim of scientists
for years, aud they have made very
close approach to it 10 the Tungstan.
