OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

From our special Correspondent
The President will be here Sunday
to attend the first cabinet meeting
since the adjournment of Congress.
THERE'S no pressing public business.
but the political situation from an ad
ministration standpoint will receive
careful consideration. The status of
Secretary Ballinger will be settled,
and if it is deemed for the best inter-
ests of the party he will quietly step
out. Other questions to be finally
disposed of are the Supreme Court
Judgeships and the postal savings
banks. The President will return to
Beverly and remain there until Octo-
Der 10Th when he will return to this
city with his family.
A mrtter of historical interest has
just been disposed of by the proper
authorities here in the acquiring by
the Government of the famous Ander-
sonville Civil War prison in Georgia.
This tract consists of eighty-three
acres, and includes the old fort and
the historic burrows made by the un-
fortunate prisoners in their efforts to
escape. The grounds and buildings
are to be kept in their original condi-
ton as far as possible. and Congress
will appropriate money for the main
tenance and preservation of this land
mark of the great Civil War.
In the Treasury building is now
being installed general system of
electric alarms rnnning from the cash
vaults to the guards rooms. The
doors, doorknobs. key holes, in fact
all means of of entrance to the vaults,
are to be connected, SO that. the
slightest attempt at entrance will
cause general alarm. The system
will includethe wire cages, in which
the clerks work who are connected
with the cash division, SO that the
going in or out of these employees is
instantly registered. The whole sys-
tenn is set like time lock safe COM
bination and the employees become q
part of the mechanism.
Up to date applications have been
received from 654 postmasters to es-
tabllsh postal ssvings banks at their
offices and from 1869 banks asking to
be designated as repositories of these
funds. Ohio leads the states from

ion that the contrivance of the flame
was due to the tenacity of the fatty
matter with which the flame was unit
ed, being so propCrtioned to the
strength of the fire that neither of
them could destroy the other. In order
to preserve this balance the lamps
were hid in caverns or in closed tombs.
On opening the tombs the admission
of fresh air produced an inequality be-
tween the oil and the flame, and so the
flame went out. The old chemists de-
clare that there is a way of making
lamps to burn forever by reducing the
flame back into wax or oil, so as to
keep the supply eternal, the wick being
made of asbestos.
In any case, the accounts left us by
writer's of the middle ages are too
numerous and too well authnticated
to be altogether fabulous.
The first recorded example of lamps
is the burning lamp which Abraham
saw in his vision; and in the book of
Job lamps and candles are used fig
uratively to such an extent that they
must have been very familiar objects.

st. Clement of Alexandria credits the
Egyptians with the original invention
of lamps, as their people used small
vessels filled with salt and olive oil
for lighting purposes. AS the Egyp-
tians were familiar with the manu-
facture of glass, these vessels were
likely made of glass, as clay vessels
would have given very little light,
though no glass lamps have been
found in the tombs

About 1850 a marble sepulcher was
found on an island near Naples which
contained a burning lamp. 1t was re-
ported by the chroniclers of the time
to have emitted a splendid flame and
was supposed to have been lighted be-
fore the Christian era. During the
same century a tomb in the Appian
way, supposed to be the tomb of the
daughter of Cicero. was opened and a
lighted lamp found burning which
must have been lighted more than
2000 years before. In the time of Henry
VIII a lamp was found burning in a
tomb which had been burning for 1900
years There are many interesting in
stance of this kind recorded. 1t is
likely that the Romans placed them in
the tombs as a mark of honor, and
possibly with the thought that a light
gave feeling of safety to the friends
of the departed who believed, as we
learn from history, in supernatural en-
emieS.
