bed. During the Icy watches Of the night
he might hear, were he wakeful, the
watchman whistling on his reed pipe to
let him know that he stil had several hours
in which to slumber before he should begin
again the daily round. 1t is surprising that
in such days as these learning was saved
for England, and that here In medieval
oxford the Pickering light OF the Renais-
sance watched by these boys grew into a
steady glow strong enough to throw a
beacon light down the path of the ages yet
to come.
The history of oxford is the history Of
England. Here Wycliffe, the Morning
Star of the Reformation" sounded the first
note of religious freedom in age Of
feudal submission to religious bigotry.
Here Cole. and Erasmus welcomed the
new learning. Andrew Lans has said, The
Renaissance awoke in Florence the love of
beauty, but in oxford the love Of truth"
This love of truth paved the way for the
reformation and inspired men to Join battle
and even to die in it's defense The blsh-
ops Cranmer, Ridley and Latimer 'ln this

they had affirmed against the Church of

The tragic Charles came to oxford for
refuge from his enemies and the colleges,
always staunch supporters OF the Stuarts,
gave him their plate and all their surplus
funds to aid him in his cause. Under the
iron heel of Cromwell, oxford became
Puritan and took on a staid, sedate and
mirthless air, very different from the
gaiety and hilarious living which oxford
knew later in the days OF the Merry
Monarch" in 'teacup times of hood and
hoop, or while the patch was warm"
Charles brought his court to oxford in 1865
to escape the plague, and here they reveled
right merrily (and scandalously) on OK
fords quiet greens. There was no Boo
cacclo to record the tale of their dalliance
in Christ Church meadows, and perhaps 1t
is just at well. We know, however, from
Oxford history of the period that they
shocked and scandalized the college dons.

these nightly depredations might be urged
in the fact that 1t was impossible to study

and materialistic age, oxford reflected the
spirit of that day, but out OF this oxford

1t may be asked: Has no woman influ-

not like to answer this question, for
am forced to admit that oxford Of all In
stitutions owes least, both in the past and
present, to the influence of women. That,
however, is not the fault of the women Of
England, but OF the university In early
days members OF colleges were destined for
holy orders and their lives were entirely
monastic. Needless to say, women were
excluded from college precincts. They were
not even employed as laundresses or cham
bermaids, excepting those who were so old
and hideous as to be warranted not to
interfere with the single-mindednes of the
intellectual life. This custom, believe,

BY new invention Of NM. Rlgnoux and

wire has been made a practical possibility.
reports the Boston Transcript. The ap-
paratus which had so far been devised was
distinguished by its ingenuity but II would
have entailed such an enormous cost to
accomplish any useful purpose that It's ap-
plications could only be extremely limited.
The new invention, by dispensing with the
necessity for the most costly part of the
former apparatus, has removed the great
obstacle TO a practical system of seeing by
wire All the inventors 50 far have
caused the image Of the person or thing It
is desired to transmit by wire to fall on
a screen divided up into numerous sections
perhaps four or five thousand or even more
each section is therefore illuminated
to degree depending on that portion OF
the image falling on Il; these different
illuminations cause the selenium sections
of the screen to vary propOrtionately an
electric current passing through them, and
the four or five thousand currents are
transmitted over the telegraph lines. AS
however il would be necessary to tele-
graph the different currents practically
simultaneously, four or five thousand CON
Meeting wires would be necessary, and the
cost Of the telegraph line TO connect the
two apparatus would. OF course. be pro-
hibitive and to obtain them impossible.
The most recent method Of transmitting
all these currents over one wire can be
seen in the diagram. Each selenium eye"
or section In the screen is contested TO a
tooth on the circumference of a drum d.
and each tooth comes into contact with
one end Of the telephone lines as the drum
is rapidly revolved Thus each current is
passed quickly (the whole four or five thous-
and In perhaps a quarter OF a second)
through the coil OF wire shown to the right
in the diagram. This coil Is wrapped
around glass tube containing a liquid
which Is sensitive TO electric currents. The
two prisms shown at each side OF the tube
are arranged so that all light passing from
the lamp Is extinguished by the phenome-
non known as polarization" When, how
ever, current passes through the coil OF
wire the arrangement Is upset and light
falls on the mirror at the extreme right

Electricity in the White House.
The current for light and power in the
White House comes from the dynamos in
the state, war and navy building. Enough
electricity is used in tho basement of the
White House alone to illuminate a whole
block of ordinary dwellings. There are
fifty incandescent lamps in the two kitch-
ens-ons Of which. by the way. is now used
not for culinary purposes, but as a dining
room for the servants. The house servants
sleep in the attic. but In the basement are
the stewards room. the ushers' room and
indoor policeman's room, as we'll as Qf the
terraces be included) the laundry and
various offices-not to mention the so
called hat box. which occupies the whole
OF the east terrace or wing, and which Is
always brilliantly lighted.
Ordinarily only about one-third OF the
total number OF lamps are lighted-say,
perhaps 700.
The dumbwaiter in the White House
pantry is operated by electric push but
tons, like the elevator already described.
Also there is in the pantry a huge cleo
trical plate warmer, which heats 5000
plates in five minutes. This apparatus is
controlled by switches, which makes the
temperature higher or lower as may be
desired

which is the greatest center Of illumination.
there are three huge cut glass electroliers,
with 100 lamps in each-these being sup
plemented by four great golden candelabra
one in each corner, and holding fifteen
lights apiece.
From the ceiling OF the great vestlbule
there hangs an enormous cylindrical Ian
tern, which contains a dozen lights fash
toned to look like candles In each OF the
three corridors ION different floorsJ which
run lengthwse through the building. there
are fifty powerful lamps. In addition, the
main corridor, on the first floor, is illum-
mated by four golden candelabra which

k4 appearance IN pIdCCCdl opera
nSNGEEa3 ton last week. This is an
-; electric agency on which Mr.
Edison has been working for nearly twenty
years and concerning which he has put
out most alluring advance notices during
several years past.
The experimental trip, reports the Pitts
burg Dispatch, demonstrated what, Of
course, there was little doubt Of In the
first place, the ability OF the storage bat
teries to furnish power that will move
vehicles. A car twenty-sIx feet long and
seven and one-half feet wide was pro-
PEELED by two seven and one-half-horse
power motors, deriving their energy from
storage batteries carried on the car. A
speed was attained of twenty miles per
hour and an endurance OF the batteries
was claimed Of 15O miles.
The important and allurlng feature OF
Mr.. EdisOns previous announcements was
that the cost of these batteries and their
recharging would be so low that they
would not only displace the trolley wires
but would enable the common yeople to
own and use electrical automobiles at
practically the same cost as the horses
and buggies Of the earlier days. This is
the real feature to be tested Electrical
automobiles are common enough; and
while they are less offensive than the
stink-wagons, they are not understood to
be any less costly OF more effective. 1t
will take prolonged trial to make good
Mr.. Edison's claim Of revolutionary
economy.
Mr.. Beach, who was in charge of the ex-
periments. said they would last for an in
definite time, their efficiency being in
creased instead OF diminished at the end
or the first eighteen months. Il Is claimed
that II viii propel a car at half the pres
ent cost TITS fool-proof," said Mr. Beach.
The only way TO damage It is to smash
Il with an axe" The new motor can be
charged at a pinch. in one hour. There is
no acid in the batteries, which are alkaIi
batteries. The elements are nickel and
steel There is practically no chemical
action. Mr.. Edison said: The new car is
absolutely practical for commercial pur-
poses. Whereas the ordinary depreciation
Is so per cent, have reduced It in the new
motor to 10 per cent. There Is a lot OF
nonsense in trolley cars as they are made
now. They should be made lighter instead
or applying four or five tons TO carving
one ton. The new cars might he used IN
the immediate future for taking care OF
the increased street railroad traffic in largo
cities without increasing the existing num-
Der OF power houses, Suppose that the
New York street railroads for Instance
bought 5000 Of these new storage battery
cars for use during rush hours. These cars
could suck up during the night the power
at the existing power houses practically

Mars would have to be about 1900 900, 90 900
candle-power. II, however, the Martans
had a telescope magnifying 10000 times, the
signal light, to be seen as a point, would
need to be only SGO.OOOOO0 candle-power. To
work such a lamp would cost $500 an hour.

At best, says Prof Miethe, such signalling

of science, knowing that like causes pro-
duce like results, can hardly doubt that
Martians either exist, have existed or will
exist al some time in the future.

Postal Saving Banks.

At the recent session OF Con-
gress one of the most important
enactments was the passage of
the Postal Savings law. Dur
ing panics, like the one of 1907
for instance, when the amount
of money actually available and
in circulation is pretty definite
ly located, tits invariably found
that an immense amount that
should be visible and available,
has been withdrawn from cir
culation and hidden out of
reach. A very large proportion
of this missing fund is known
to be in the bands of thrifty in
dividuals, frequently frugal
foreigners, who fear to trust
the banks, therefore resort to
hiding t h cir accumulations.
Many millions of dollars are
known to have been thus with
drawn, and this accentuates
the stringency in time Of panic
when the money is so sorely
needed in the arteries of trade
and commerce. 1t was with the
dual idea of coaxing this money
fourth and at the same time en-
courage thrift among the poorer
classes of the population, that
the Postal Savings Law with its
government guarantee of the
safety of deposits was passed.
There are the salient features of
the mode of operation:
Any person ten years old OF
more, may, in his or her own
name open an account with one
dollar in any postal saving de-
pository.
Married woven may open ac-
counts in their own names and
free from any control or inter
ference by their husbands. No
one, hewever, will be allowed to
deposit more than 500 in any
one calendar month.
AS deposits of less than 81
will not be received, any person
may purchase for 10 cents q
card, to which may be attached
postage stamps, to be known as
postal savings stamps"
When the value of the stamps
placed on the card is 81, includ'
ing the 10-cent postal card, il
