F1REFLYs ECONOMICAL LIGHT.
Scientists Hope to Find the Secret Of
This Method of Illumination.

The light of the FREELY is believed to-
have an efficiency of virtually 100 per
cent. of the energy expended, whereas
tests indicate that the light efficiency Of
the ordinary incandescent lamp is less
than per cent; the rest of the energy
is expended in producing heat which is
not needed.
Inventors do not yet despair of sue

method of producing an illumination,

that he may see the TRANSMISSION OF

Perch by the Ton.

John Peltier brought over from Little
Sturgeon on Saturday upward of a tom
of perch for which he was paid 500 or
thereabouts, these fish being worth AZ
cents a pound that day. They were all
caught with hook and line by Mr.. Pel-
tier and a couple of his boys, two weeks
having been consumed in the work of
taking them. Mr. Peltier probably has
the best idea of the habits and peculiari-
ties of the perch of any man in this re-
gion, as he invariably succeeds in catch
ing large strings of them whenever he
makes it his business to go after them

Vatican Guards Rebellious.

One of the most remarkable strikes
ever seen threatens the Vatican. The
Palace guards, whose picturesque red
and yellow uniforms have been familiar
for centuries in Rome, became discon-
tented under the economic treatment ac-
corded them under Pope Plus, and COM
planned to the papal authorities. Not
receiving any redress they wrote to a
Socialistic newspaper, asking assistance
of the Socialists. The latter jumped at
the chance of causing strike at the
Vatican, and is urging the guards To in
sist upon their rights.

Dearness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the mu-

this tube Is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever nine

RATES TOO HIGH.
Manufacturers of Bricks Win Case
Against the Railroads.

After an investigation extending over
a year, the interstate commerce commits
sion has announced that the rates
charged by the railroads for the trans
portation of fire brick, building brick and
paving brick from Central Traffic asso-
citation territory to the Atlantic seaboard
were unreasonable and should be re-
duced. An order, therefore, was issued
by the commission requiring the. rail
per 100 pounds for the transportation of
such brick from Central Traffic associa-
ton territory to points in the Eastern
Trunk Line territory during the two
years, beginning on the first of Febru-
airy next The case was brought before
the commission by manufacturers of va
rious kinds of brick in Ohio, Kentucky
and West Virginia against practically
all of the railway lines operating in the
eastern part of the United States.

MOSES A JOURNALIST.
A Professor Says He Was the First
Great Editor.

Addressing the Minister'S Alliance Of
Kansas ON "The Faith of Journalist,
Walter Williams, dean of the School OF
Journalism at Missouri university, spoke
of the similarity of the Bible to the mod
ern newspaper. '"The best journalist with
whose work l am acquainted" said Mr.
Williams, was Moses. He was the firs
great editor. You plead for the publica
ton of only the good and beautiful IL
your favorite daily newspaper. 1t was
en- earlier people, not wiser one, who
cried: 'Prophesy unto us smooth things.
In one of the five books Moses edited
the great editor gave more crimina
news, and that more graphically, thar
today's newspapers would dare-for ex
ample, the reports of the disobedienc'
of Adam, the drunkenness of Noah, the
falsehoods of Abraham and the iniquit!
of the city of SodOm."

Chairman Alexander of the House
committee on rivers and harbors has an
nounced that the construction of another
lock at Sault Ste. Marie has been
planned, and that an appropriation for
a preliminary survey has been included
in this years river and harbor bill. The
plan is to build the largest lock in the
world, so that future lake commerce may
be amply provided for. The locks at
Sault Ste. Marie are now the wonder of
the shipping world, and the fact that inn
provements have become necessary at

The assertion at the Boot and Shoe
Manufacturers Association meeting IN
New York that the growth of vegetarian
ism threatens a shortage of hides seems
intended to prepare the public for rise
in the price of shoes. The same author
ity has previously informed the public
that free hides would mean cheaper
shoes. That vegetarianism in the United
States has progressed far enough to make
hides scarce, or ever will do so, is incon-
ceivable. The people are still buying
meat at as high prices as ever. There
would be lower prices for meat if there
were a marked falling off in the demand.

Congressman Moore's bill calling for an
investigation by the Department of Agri-
culture of the effects of prolonged cold
storage on food products of all kinds
will arouse popular interest, as much of
the meat and fish now marketed is held
in cold storage for protracted periods.
The inquiry might with profit embrace
the methods of business as we'll as the
effect of low temperature on the va
rious foods so held. There is suspicion
during times of high prices for poultry
and eggs i'll particular that spectators
are using the cold storage houses for the
purpose of effecting corners in these
products.

The Postoffice Department reports that
only 80 per cent. of the letters sent from
this country to Germany went under the
reduced rate which is conceded for mail
carried by sea direct. There are many
people, it seems, who would rather pay
eve cents for prompt delivery than two
cents for a service subject to the chance
of being tardy. This is something to be
remembered in considering future poll
cies of the department. The American
people want quality first, then cheap
ness; not cheapness first.

carol, swEETLY CAROL"

Bishop Cox of western New York is
the author of a Christmas hymn which
will probably take rank with the most
popular carols sung i'll America and
Britain 1t has been set to music by Sir
Charles Villiers Stanford, the composer,
who is credited with having achieved the
"carol OF the century," 1t is described
as an exquisite melody, which came as
an inspiration to the composer as he
walked through London streets 1t was
written with incredible quickness, the
whole being completed within eighteen
hours. The carol is not one sim
pie melody monotonously repeated for
each of the six verses, but each verse
contains slight variation. The last
verse is sung largely in unison with
bold organ accompaniment. The title of
the hymn is ''Oarol, Sweetly Carol"
