1t would be even lower than this but for
the difficulties of refining the metal. On
ly with the electric furnace Is 1t possible
to produce tungsten in its pure form.
Pure tungsten is hard enough to scratch
glass; it is almost impossible to melt
1t; it Is malleable to some extent. but not
ductile. Because 1t cannot be drawn into
wire, the wire-like filaments employed In
the electric lamps are made by COM
mercial laboratory process.
These new tungsten incandescent
lamps with the same consumption of
energy and expense to the consumer for
current, give nearly three times the il
Elimination of the old carbon lamps. Tho
lighting companies were quick to see the
advantages OF this wonderful improve
ment, and are now encouraging their GUS
toners to use the new lamps, making 1t
plain to them that they can obtain three
times as much light of better quality
for the same money.
To those whose homes and business
places were already abundantly lighted
It was apparent that the new lamps
would easily give the same light as the
common incandescent lamps for one-third
the cost home that was lighted by
electricity for $2.35 a month could be
lighted with the new lamps for rs cents.
Not only that but the light from the
new tungsten lamps proved to be nearly
pure white, akin to actual sunshine, soft,
pleasing, and beneficial to the eyes, and
not of yellow cast, like the common IN
candescent lamps.
Within the past few months tungsten
has revolutionized the electric lighting
world, and has proved the greatest boon
to the consumers of electric light since
the discovery of the incandescent lamp.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
WHY He Opposes Amendment.

TO the Editor OF The Age-Herald:
1 read with considerable interest your
editorial of Tuesday morning on the
search and seizure law. You were cor
rect as far as you went, but you did
not tell It all. Under the old law, after
a search warrant was issued, no one
execute it, and he could not execute it
at night unless specially directed to do
so by the terms OF the warrant itself.
Now, any officer. of any kind, or any
man who thinks he is an officer or any
scoundrel who may wish to impersonate
an officer for the purpose of robbery or
any other rascality, may appear at your
house or mine and, in the absence Of
the head OF the house. demand admit
lance and ransack the premises under
the plea of searching for contraband
liquors.
The lawyers, led by Judge Weakley,
know that they are not stating all the
facts when they tell their audiences that
the Fuller law and the proposed consti-
tutional amendment make no difference
in the search and seizure laws already
on the statute books. They know that a
very material and revolutionary change
has been made. Many of the preachers
have been making the same statements,
but I have no criticisms for them for
what they don't know about the laws
of Alabama would fill several volumes.
have been asked by some of my friends
of the opposition to give some of the
reasons why oppose the proposed
amendment 1 can best do that by re-
lating one or two incidents; or, as my
friends say. giving my experience.
Not many years ago reverend friend
and neighbor (who now writes D. D. after
his name) came to my door in the small
hours of the morning and asked for
little whisky Tor his sick wife. I was
glad to accommodate him, and was proud
to learn the next day that I had been
instrumental in relieving the sufferings
Of good woman. Now. this reverend

TUNGSTEN In Electric LIqhtinu.

From the American Review of Reviews.
The fusing point of tungsten 1850 de-
grees centigrade) 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 incandescent light Is that the
higher the temperature the better the
light and the greater the economy of
current consumed. Up to few years
ago tungsten was known only In lab
oratories, and then only in a very impure
state, and ON account of Its rarity tire
price was very high. But latter-day pros
pecting has resulted in the finding of vast
bodies of the ore, and the price has cor
respondlngly dropped to about ST pound.

MOST REMARKABLE
CASE OF TELEPATHY

Stockholm. October 16.-Swedish scien-
lists are interested in a remarkable case
of telepathy connected with the murder
of General Beckmann last June. Tho
facts which are vouced for by doctor
and several hospital nurses are as fol-
lows:
At the time of General Beckmann's as
sassiration, General Bjoerlin. one OF his
intimate friends, was lying in hospital.
On the day of the tragedy he was very
restless, and frequently mentioned Gem
eral Becl1mann to the attendant nurse
as being in great danger.
At II p. m. he suddenly became wildly
agitated and jumping from the bed tried
to rush from the room shouting that he
must go to his friends help. Cant you
hear the shooting In the street," he cried.
"Beckmann has been shot dead, l tell
you'
General Bjoerlin remained in this de-
lirious state until 6 in the morning, when
he woke calm and well. Turning to the
nurse he said: You will see that Cen
eral Beckmann has been murdered"
This statement was confirmed when the
morning papers we're brought in con-
tanning the story of the assassination.

WASHINGTON CITY
FIFTY YEARS AGO
Was Little More Than a Strug-
Cling Village
NO PRIDE OF CITY
With the Exception of the White
House There Was Nothing Of In
terest In National Capital.
Buildings incomplete

From the Washington Post
MY personal recollections of washing
ton," said one who is entitled to be called
an old resldenter If not an old settler,
Ego back to 1859, Just 50 years ago.
And what a dreary waste Washington
was then. What a contrast to what 1t
is now. Then 1t was but a little more
than a struggling and struggling Village,
scattered over an immense stretch of ter
ritory, with nothing that WIS worth a
visit IL the White House be excepted.
None of the public buildings which had
been projected were completed; they were
all in an unfinished state, and apparently
no one cared whether they were ever
completed or not, and there were only
few who believed they ever would be
finished. Over in Georgetown. and up on
Capitol Hill there was a little pride of
family, but nowhere was there any pride
Of city. The Georgetown and Capitol
Hill aristocracy were exclusive and look
ed on all others as the Jews once looked
on the Samaritans. They would go to
the White House because that was
court and would welcome to their
homes the southern members of Congress
because they were "of the blood" but
many of their homes were already show
ing signs of dilapidation.
"In Washington there were streets and
avenues leading hither and yon, but they
had deserted air; houses were far apart.
and most of them of very untnviting
appearance INTELLECTUALLY When 1t rain
ed the streets were sea of mud, and
when 1t was dry the town was inclosed
In almost impenetrable clouds of dust.
There was little business transacted, as
nobody appeared anxious to do any BUSH
ness. The political atmosphere was al
ready surcharged with the electricity OF
the coming storm of war. The city was
divided into two hostile political camps,
one supporting President Buchanan and
the other hurrahing for Douglas, the Lit
tie Giant.

LIKES THE idea
. OF SINGLE TICKET

The sober judgment Of the leaders
of the Reform party was exemplified
last night when in caucus they APP
proved the action of the joint commit
tee of the Reform and Taxpayers par
ties in proposing a single ticket to be
voted upon at the approaching spring
election. -..
While the action Of the caucus has
no legal binding effect upon the ward
caucuses to be held Monday night.
or upon the convention Tuesday night,
yet its moral effect should be great
enough to cause these bodies to work
in harmony along this line.
The time has come for all of us to
lay aside personal prejudices and pet
ty opinions. and all labor together for
a city not only untainted by the pres
ence OF the liquor saloon, but city
beautiful with its parks, boulevards.
and clean streets, and a city whose
perfected waterworks system will be
source Of pride and satisfaction to
all.
The advantages Of one good ticket
elected by the people generally are
manifold. Not only will there be a re-
lief from the bi-annual disturbance to
the business and social life of the
community. but all parties will feel
that they are in a sense responsible
for the administration and will be
more inclined to give 1t their moral
support We certainly would be free
from the adverse criticism and oppo-
sition Of any considerable element,
who feeling that their own party was
not in power would not only glory in
the mistakes and short comings of
the city council but even obstruct the
good that might be accomplished.
The saloon question Is a separate
issue and in the spring election 1t will
be settled. Personally We hope that
1t will be buried 30 deep BY temper
ance votes that it will never dare
show ito head again. But asiC. from
this let NJ all boost for . bigger. bet

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, deafnehh is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inlamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by
