METAL THATHAS REVoLU.
TIONlZED ELECTRIC LIGHTING

One October night in the year 1881,
while Washington's cannon were de-
manding the surrender of CORVALLIS
at Yorktown, German scientist,
working in his little laboratory by
the light from tal:ow candles, dis
covered a new and most unusual
metal which he found impossible TO
melt in his crude charcoal furnace
He called the new metal Tungsten,
from the Swedish "tung' (heavyl
and "sten" (stone) because the heavy
ores had come from Sweden. Little
did the old man know, MS he worked
away by candlelight to give his dis
covery to the world, that his find
would one day, n hundred and twen-
ty-nve years later, completely revo-
lutionize electric lighting.
Twenty-fve years ago Thomas A.
Edison produced the first successful

inventors had worked for nearly
fifty years to perfect the device. The
filaments for Edison's first lamps
were made of carbonized strips Of
bamboo heated white hot in vac
uum globe by electricity. After 1894
carbonized cotton cellulose was used
for the filaments and 1t seemed as
though the lamp had surely reached
perfection.
The fllaments of incandescent cleo
trio lamps were made of carbon be-
cause no other material oculd be
found which would withstand the in
tense heat. Every well-known
metal was tried but melted before
reaching the required temperature
Then the inventors began to experi-
ment with the more uncommon
metals and again a German scientist
took up the study of Tungsten.
At first the great trouble was to Sc
cure pure Tungsten. This difficulty
was overcome with the aid Of an cleo
trio furnace, but the product, in the
form Of gray, metallic powder proved
so refractory that il could not be melt
ed into ingots or drawn out into wire
An experiment filament was made by
mixing the fine powder with a paste
and squirting the mixture through
die much the same as a spider spins
it's web This thread was in turn
heated in an electric nlrnace until the
powder was fused into the form of a
fine wire. With the melting point of
Tungsten 80 much higher than any
other known metal it was possible
TO heat the llament to geater incan-
descence, producing more and better
light with less waste OF current in
useless heat
Then the electrical inventors awoke
to the fact that the very substance
they were seeking. that which Edison
had secured the world to find, lay
nnder their hand all the time. and
Tungsten, useless and practically un-
known for over century came into
It's own and began the wonderful
task Of revolutionizing incandescent
electric lighting
The advent Of the new Tungsten
lamp was startling to the users Of
electricity for lighting purposes, for

CONFESSIONS FROM TWO
 SLAYERS 0F SHEEPMEN
The Other Five in Jail Threaten Their Lives.

Sheridan, Wyo, May 13.--The state has the complete confessions from two of seven prisoners confined in the county jail here in connection with the murder of three sheepmen in the raid upon their camp near Basin, Wyo., in the Big Horn coun- try, about six weeks ago. The off cers refuse to divulge the identity of the two men making the confess sions, but their act in removing Al bert E. Reyes and Charles Ferris from the jail at Basin to this city, where they arrived yesterday, is con- sidered significant in view of the statement that the safety of the two men had been threatened by the five other prisoners at Basin.
 The suspects in the Basin jail are George Saban, M A. Alexander. Her bert Brink, Edward Eaton and Thom- as Dickson All the men were re- gently indicted by the grand jury in Big Horn county on three counts each, charging murder.
 Judge c. H. Parmalee announced the intention of giving the seven men an early trial and he says he will call a special term of the district court at Basin for that purpose.
 Reyes and Ferris will be kept in jail here until the trial. Rewards az gregating $5500 have been offered for the conviction of the slayers of the sheepmen by National Wool Growers association, the Wyoming Wool Crow CTS association, the state and the county.

A PROTEST FROM THE PACIFIC.

A PROTEST FROM THE PACIFIC.
 Whether or not the Hill and Har- riman roads in ordering a reduction of rates following the decision in the Spokane case, caught the spirit of the commissions ruling, the reduction is at least a partial response to the prayer of Spokane and the interpre- tation by the roads of the decision is evidently the same as the interpreta- tion placed upon it by the merchants of Spokane, otherwise there would have been no jubilation in the back country on the announcement of the ruling
 The chief complaint in the Spokane case was not that the westbound freight rates were excessive but that they were discriminatory and throt- tied trade in the interior in the in terest of the Puget Sound and coast cities
 The ruling, it is true, did not con fer upon the interior towns all they asked, but it was understood that it tended to relax the grasp which the coast cities had held on all that com plaining region which they had re- garded and treated as a conquered commercial province of the coast.
 Now come the Pacific commercial bodies with the understanding that it was not the intention of the com mission to disturb the balance" If not the commission might as well not have wasted it's time in the hearings for if the rates were discriminatory, as was alleged, there was an injus- tice-a wrong, and wrongs have nev- CT been and never will be righted without a disturbance of the balance.
 It was observed during the hear ings that the most vigorous oppo- sition to the plaintiffs came not from the railroads, but from these same coast commercial bodies which are seeking to prevent the carrying out of the ruling as the railroads under stand it and as Spokane understands it.
 The Phoenix case is quite similar to the Spokane case. Throughout the four days of the hearing here 1t was complained, not that the rates were excessive in themselves, but that they were excessive in com parison with rates to and from Los Angeles and the east.
 It may be predicted that if the commission should furnish Phoenix the same measure of relief, that it afforded Spokane, the administra- tion of it would be made against the most violent protest of the Pacific port towns.
