WORKS WELL
 BY WIRELESS

That the wireless operator on the Humboldt was in communication with the United Wireless office at Juneau a; l o'clock Wednesday morning, when the Humboldt was docked at Skagway, is the information given out by c. Francis, United Wireless oper- ator on the Princess May.
 If this is a fact, it disproves the theories of Lieut.. Jenuet and Superin- tendent Armstrong of the United Wireless company, who stated that they believed wireless communication between Skagway and Juneau was i'm possible owing to ranges of moun- tains bearing magnetic ore which lie between Juneau and Skagway.
 Mir. Francis has repeatedly attempt ed to signal Juneau by wireless while in this port, but has never succeeded He states, however, that the atmo- spheric conditions for a long message were almost perfect Wednesday morn ing.

SIZES OF BOOKS.
Meaning Of the Terms Follo, ouArto,
Octave and Duodeelmo.

/
The words "folio." quartz" "octa.
vo," ''duodecimon and the like have
almost. II not quite. lost their original
meaning. At first they had reference
only 10 the number OF leaves into
which the sheets used in making the
book were folded Thus II these
sheets were folded once the book was
called a folio; II the sheets were fold.
I'd twice, so as 70 form four leaves,
The book was called a quarto; II they
we're folded four times, so as 10 form
eight leaves. the book was called an
pctavo. and so on.
The duodecimo, or 12mo. is an r.
regular size. To make It the sheet
must be folded so as to form twelve
leaves. Fold one-thlrd OF the width
Of a sheet lengthwise on itself. Next
fold the paper across its breadth in
the center. Next fold the sheet across
It's length--that is, fold the two leaves
on the four. Finally fold II again
across and in such shape that II may
easily be sewed in with others to form
book.
But though. strictly and historically.
quarto, octave, etc, have reference
solely to the manner OF folding the
sheet, they are. as matter of com
mon practice. used to specify the sizes
of books.
II the sheets on which books are
printed were Of uniform size a quarto
page would be as unvarying an area
as square foot or an acre. and be
fore the invention OF machines for
making paper there was such uni.
formlty to be found in the Sizes Of
sheets.
But when paper making machines
were introduced and the use OF molds
was abandoned sheets came TO be
made OF all dimensions. As a result
quartos and octavos had all sorts OF
dimensions, and the terms, when used
strictly to indicate how the sheet was
folded, became worthless as designa-
lions Of size. The use Of the old
terms was nevertheless not abandon
ed, but instead they were first used
10 indicate a rather wide range OF
sizes and finally were attached to GER
tain more definite sizes, without refer
ence to the method OF folding.
The practice Of the publisher now
adays is first to determine what size
of page he wants The sheet he uses
WIN be large or small, according tolthe
capacity of the press at his disposal.
on that Sheet he nhy print, say eight
octave pages, or be may print thirty
two, but he win call the book an oc-
tavo, though by its folding II should
be called either a quartz or 16mo.
In other words, the publisher calls
his book by the name Of that one Of
the old sizes to which 1t happens 10
rome nearest.
The confusion resulting from the
changes noticed here has not passed
away yet, but efforts have been made
TO give detiniteness TO the old words

Germany Far Ahead of Us in Solving
The Problems Of Illumination.

Practically every one OF the improved
| light.sourees recently introduced into
this country were developed and
brought into practical use in Europe
years ago, we are told by writer in
the Illuminating Engineer. In spite OF
our pride in being up TO date, we Am
orleans, he assures us, have been sur.
prisingly backward in the matter OF
improvements in lighting. As a special
instance, the writer takes the flaming
arc-lght. He says;
"The flaming arc.lamp was worked
out to high degree OF perfection, and
had reached a very extensive CONNER
cial development In Germany before II
was even seen in this country; and
when it did first appeal, II was looked
upon as sort of spectacular contri.
vance, which might be a nine.days won
der as a theatrical advertising sign.
As such its success was instant, and
its use grew at an astonishing rate. In
the course Of time ii began to dawn
upon illuminating engineers and 9th
ers interested in practical illumination
that this newcomer in the field must be
taken seriously as a commercial light
source. The fact that the city of Ber-
lin has for some time used no other
electric street illumination than fam
ing arcs--some five thousand being in
service that other German cities are
installing them az rapidly as possible;
that they have been recommended as
the result OF special investigation on
the subject Of street lighting for use
in the principal thoroughfarcs In Lon
don, is beginning 70 make some impress
sion upon those responsible for street
lighting in this countryI and although
the remarkable fact remains that there
Is not as yet single installation for
this purpose In the United States to-
day. there are a number OF cities which
have the matter under careful con-
sideration.
''The characteristics Of the flaming
arc which recommended il to considera-
ton are it's enormously high efficiency
from six to eight times that Of the
carbon arc--its very much lower in
trinsic brilliance (Which means free.
dom from gIare), and better color of
light The two ofsstting disadvan-
tages are the necessity for more fire.
ouent trimming, and . natural distri
button which Il theoretically less ad-
vantageous than that of the common
form of src.lamp in use today"
The frst of these disadvantages, the
writer goes on TO say, may possibly be
entirely overcome; In fact, lamp az
this type which has long life and
high efficiency has appeared In England
The second can be overcome TO con-
siderable degree by placing the lamps
two or three times higher than the
present arc.lsmps He goes on: -
In streets that are free from the
obstruction OF tfees---a condition which
exists in all busy thoroughfares- the
placing Of the lamps higher is decid.
ed advantage, as II removes them far
