How to Receive Advice.
Gondon SpectatOr)


More wisdom is required in taking
than in giving advice. 1t should sell
dom be taken whole. The great thing,
as we believe, is to take none which is
out of character. TO do so is to regret
it. If we are naturally SLOW of decision
We shall be hurried into promptness at
our peril. Ii we are by nature placable
and polite. we must not take advice to
be arbitrary even IN the best cause. If
We are implusive, we should take coun-
sci with a man of the same tempera-
ment ana stronger mind: but not with
the phlegmatic. though he be the Wis
est slowcoach on earth. We all know
our own defects, and if we are decent
people at ali our moral constitution has
set up certain compensations. To dis
turb these is to court failure. So far as
the isolated act is concerned. rashly ac.
cepted advice may be good enough
but how are we to GO on We have
started on course which is out OF
character. and we shall stumble Until
we get back into our stride.

Tungsten in Electric Lighting.


The fuSing point Of tungsten (3050
degrees Centigrsvle) is higher than any
other known metal which enables it to
operate at the very high efficiency OBJ
tanned in the tungsten lamp. One of
the laws of i'm ,andescent light, is that
the higher ten lperature the better the
light and the greater the economy of
current consln ned. Up to few years
ago tungsten was known only in lab
oratories, and then only in very i'm
pure state anCl on account of it's rarity
the price was very high. But latter
day prospecting has resulted in the
finding Of vast bodies of the ore. and
the price has correspondingly dropped
to about 81 pound. 1t would be even
lower than this but for the difficulties
in refining the metal. These new tung-
stem incandesc INT lamps, with the same
| consumption of energy and expense to
the consumer for current, give nearly
three times the illumination OF the OLD
carbon lamps. The lighting companies
were quick to see the advantages OF
this wonderful Improvement, and are
now encouraging their customers to use
the new lamps. making it plain to them
that they "a n obtain three times as
much light of better quality for the
same money. q

Zion City's Future,

Zion City will not perish Dowie
founded Zion City for the purpose OF
putting into practice certain of his
theories in regard to promoting the
work of reforming this world by en-
abling men and women to live ant
| work in a community where they were
as free as possible from all evil in
fuences. If Dowie had kept a leve
head his work might have been an I'M
qualified success, for he induced
manufacturers to locate in his new
city and otherwise provided for the
physical as we'll as spiritual welfare
of his followers. Unfortunately how
ever Dowie became full of lust tor
power and an all-consuming pride
He soon destroyed all the power he
broken, if not insane man. Since his
death the community has had check
cred career under division of the in
habitants Voliva rules one faction
and the other is ruled by Daniel
Bryant who once represented Dowie IN
Europe and Africa.
The site of the city, comprising $500
acres, was purchased by Dowies fol-
lowers. each person investing in the
enterprise receiving stock to the
amount of money he invested. Land
was then leased to individuals for Il
term OF one thousand years, the leases
being for the purpose of restricting
other religious denominations from
gaining Il foothold and to keep out the
sale of liquor and tobacco.
About three fourths of the city is
still in the hands OF the stockholders

When novel idea. at last we attain
And its plans are distinctly rehearsed,
You hear, once as ain, the old-time re-

THE Chinese dis covered it first
Columbus was mer ely a plodding old soul
Who drifted along very late to the goal
And when you made bold to discuss the

The Chinese disco vered it first.

Though an influence. dire, we must some

In any event we are tempted to think

Time at the North Pole.

At the north pole time is nothing, ana
if one were residing at the north pole it
would be necessary to wind ones
watch. You are always at u O'Clock
and can't walk out of the hotel without
walking south. All times of day meet
al the pole. as the meeting place of all
the meridians. A man sitting with the
invisible mathematical point right I'M
der him would be in all twentyfour
hours at once. Or a twentyfour hour
watch placed on the pole could be made
to point to the correct time in every
part of the world.
So far Shackleton is III luck. NO one
has called him anything because ne
claimed to get near the south pole.
