After six years contest Peter Coo
per Hewitt has been awarded patents
for his mercury vapor electric lamp
The patents have been In dispute al
most since the date when they were
first applied for, in 1901.
Construction work will shortly be-
gin on another of those stupendous
buildings which are called a city of
towers. The new structure, which Is
to be built at the northwest corner OF
Wall and Nassau streets, will extend
539 feet above the street level, max
ing 1t the third tallest Office building
in the world.
The Society of Illuminating Engi-
neers in England has lately discussed
the question of the best means Of
avoiding glare from artificial lights.
1t is beginning to be recognized that
the recent introduction of intensely
dazzling points Of light raises prob
lens in the solution of which the
oculist must take hand. Two Ber-
lin professors urged in a communi-
cation to the society the "advisability
of initiating daylight" The quality
of daylight is It's diffusion, whereby
the eye is saved from injury. 1t has
been estimated that the diffused day
light from clear sky is about 60 per
cent of the direct sunlight. 1t is point
ed out that the injurious eye effects
of artificial lights are not confined to
the light centers, but arise also from
the glare reflected from the surface
of shining paper and olher bright OBJ
jects.
A device which manufactures
breathable air, when required, for
miners caught in mine accidents, has
recently been invented by Clarence
Hall, government expert at Pittsburg.
A double tank contains in one COM
partment, sodium peroxid, and in the
other water A cock that can be
opened at will connects the two. The
combination of the chemical and wa
ter creates a flow Of oxygen, and
enough of the raw material Is carried
In the apparatus to supply one mans
demand for about thirty minutes. A
nose and mouth piece are furnished to
cover the face. The purpose of the
device is to provide men with a port
able supply Of oxygen that will enable
them to live long enough to make ef-
forts In their own behalf after an
accident. A man can travel far in
thirty minutes, II he can breathe free
ly and knows his ground. 1t is ex-
pected that the invention will be the
means Of many otherwise impossible
escapes.

'Mademoiselle," said Meta, ap-
preaching, you had better come in out

Look at the sky"
Meta, do you speak English?" re-
preached Betty. with mental resume
of the weary days that she had spent
without intercourse of coherent speech
since Tyoga's absence.
"Oh, forgive me-" cried Meta, falling
at her feet. Yes, went to a convent

CHAPTER XVI.

In vain did the police and the re,
porters dig and pry into the house at
"a Briarsweet place in hope of finding
some trace of Hamley Hackleye.
Mr.. Hackleye was not about. His
London bankers could give no definite
information about him. For thirty
years he had been accustomed to go
and come when he pleased. He had
for long while maintained a comfort
able home at Khartoum and another at
Cairo, but he visited these only at in
tervals, and sometimes was not seen
in them for year at time. He was
known to possess great estates located
in Central Africa, but none knew posi-
lively where. He kept a retinue of
servants at each establishment and a
suave major domo in each was accus-
toned to being the nominal head of the
household. Neither of these men, how
ever, could give any of the wished for
explicit information about their mas
ter. Each home contained the usual
accumulation of furniture, bric-a -brac,
and the ola podrida of civilization that
aggregates in every wealthy home, but
nothing at all mysterious or in any
way smacking of the criminal. They
were the homes of a gentleman of
wealth and culture. Any connection
between the African laws and penal
ties of Mr.. Hackleye and the Indian
home of the Harcourts, it was impossi-
BILE to discover. The Harcourt menage
was located in the hill country, In a
most beautiful spot Harcourt had
come there about seven years pre-
viously, at the time of his marriage to
Narcisse De L'Enclos, the widow, 4
Madame Marie De L'Enclos, whose
husband, Captain Raoul De L'Enclos
an honorably discharged officer in the
French army, had brought his bride
there Immediately after his marriage.
The captain had died year after the
birth of his daughter, and Madame De
L'Enclos and the little girl Narcisse
had lived in secluded magnificence, till
one season on a trip to Calcutta, they
had met Harold Harcourt, the Younger
son of an English nobleman, who was
then visiting cousin in the Indian
city. After a brief acquaintance the
young girl, then only 1S, and Harcourt
were married. The young pair went
back to the hill country palace and the
mother left for a continental voyage
from which she never returned, though
1t was given out that she had died
while abroad. Then the Harcourt baby
came-a boy-and when he was two
years old he met tragic death. There
had never been anything to give rise to
suspicion about the Harcourt home.
any more than at the Hackleye es-
tates, nor was any seeming connection
between the two families instituted ex-
cept that both were accredited with
possessing large diamond interests in
Africa, and the peculiar likeness be-
tween the two women, and the similar.
ity in handwriting and in the euphonv
OF the names of the two men. Portraits
of Harcourt on the walls of his Indian
home were photographed and sent to
America and were an exact tally for
the man held in jail in Chicago.

The sun.

Sir Robert Ball asserted that every
100 years the sun loses five miles of
its diameter. To ally anxiety, how.
ever, he mentioned that the diameter
of the sun is 100000 miles and that
10000 years hence the diameter would
still be $4,000 miles.

No. Cripple Creek War oes,.

In the case OF the last attempt TO
provide for the payment Of the float
ing debt Of the state. and incidentally
10 restore the school fund to its
proper use, there has been some mis-
understanding regarding The nature
Of the debt. Many have supposed
that the debt to be funded by the
Cove amendment. to lie voted upon
by the people In November, is that
for the expense OF the Cripple Greek
war" There are three conclusive
considerations against any such sup
position.
No amendment to the constitution
of the state and no vote OF the eleo-
tors OF the state Is needed to issue
bonds for the suppression Of au lin
surrection."
The very latest warrant that can
be funded or paid under the author
ity of the Cove amendment bears date
of January 3. 1885 This Is several
years before the Cripple Greek war"
began.
The warrants issued By the state
authorities for the expense Of the
Cripple Creek war" have air, ady
been funded for the most part BY the
issue OF three per cent bonds made
under the authority Of the state leg
islature.
The debt to be funded by the adop-
tion Of the Cove amendment is for
the ordinary running expenses Of
the state mostly for the years of
1887. 1858 and 1883. The validity OF
the debt and the regularity of the
warrants can not he successfully dis
puted

few FANS KNOW The
MEANING OF A BALK
Often Cry It at Pitcher When
They Do Not Know What
Constitutes That Error.

The many fans who aspire on every
occasion to show their knowledge or
the game by crying "balk" at the
pitcher or umpire on the slightest pro-
vocation might do we'll to learn just
what constitutes q balk which may be
made in any Of the nine different ways
/ according to the present rules. Inc
following is rule "a, which explains
itself fully.
A balk ball shall be:
Section /. Any motion made by the
pitcher while in position to deliver the
ball to the bat without delivering IT., or
to throw to first base when occupied
by a base-runner without completing
the throw.
Sec. 2. Throwing the ball by the
pitcher to any base to catch the base
runner without stepping directly
toward such base In the act Of making
Sec. 8. Any delivery Of the ball to
the bat by the pitcher while either foot
is back Of the pitchers plate.
Sec. 4. Any delivery of the ball to
the bat by the pitcher while he Is not
facing the batsman.
Sec. 5. Any motion In delivering the
! ball to the bat by the pitcher while not
in position defined by rule 30. (Rule
30 defines the position Of the pitcher.)
Sec. 8. Holding Of the ball by the
pitcher so long as. In the opinion OF
| the umpire to unnecessarily delay the
game.
Sec. z. Making any motion to pitch
while standing In his position without
having the ball In his possession.
Sec. s. Making any motion Of the
arm, shoulder, hip or body the pitcher
habitually makes in his method Of de-
livery without Immediately delivering
| the ball to the bat.
Sec. 9. Delivery Of the ball to the bat
when the catcher is standing outside
Of the lines Of the catcher's position
II the pitcher shall fail to comply
with any section Of this rule theu umpire
shall call a balk.
When a balk Is declared a baserun-
ner may advance n base but there Is
no provision made for granting a bats
man a base on q balk.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still o lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.
Finally l got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before l put my boy to bed,
! used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the inflammation seemed to
be so much less. I used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same Of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew.
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.
II took are of a friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re.
turned. l would recommend the Cuti.
cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J.
