ELECTRICITY AS lLLUMlNAN7
Commercial Value Was Not Developed
In This Country Until After the
Centennial Exhibition Of 1875.

The first experimental philosopher
to discover that electric light could
be produced by a dry battery was Sir
Humphrv Davy. who In 1910 exhibited
"A light three inches long. between car
bon points, before the Royal Society of
London. But no commercial value was
attached to the use Of electricity as
an illuminant until more than half a
generation later. The Centennial ex-
hibition, held in Philadelphia in 1876.
really marks the era of our present
form of electric light, though electric
lights had been in use abroad prior
to that time. The exhibition of mod
els and practical demonstrations of
electric lights at Philadelphia in 1876
attracted the attention of scientists
and capitalists In this country, and the
first incaudescent lamps and the first
arc system were put to practical use
in a small way In 1875. The Brush
arc light gained favor In the begin
ming as the most adaptable for street
lighting, and Cleveland. o., the home
of Charles Francis Brush, the invent
or, was the initial American city to
adopt tho arc system for street light

Something Of a Joke.

A good example of the kind of story
Mark Twain used to like to weave into
his after-dinner speeches was the tale
Of the drinker who unwillingly put in
an application for membership In a
temperance society. sailed the next
day on a three years voyage, on
which ne kept the pledge in spite OF
longing and temptation, and returned
to resign only TO find that his name
had been blackballed originally.-Buf.

Ventilation an AT In Chicago.

The fine art of ventilation In Chica
70 is still making long strides.
Several large Arms which occupy
whole floors now have the big windows
swing from left to right on the prin-
ciple of passenger car ventilators. The
pos,tion of the windows can thus be
regulated according to the passage Of
the wind, and cleaning the panes is
made easy. But the ordinary window
washer can still do arctic wonders
with the old.fashioned vertical sash in
any office building.

HorrIble e.ouest to Father.

What Is probably the strangest and.
at the same time. the most horrible
bequest ever made. Is to be found In
the will of Lieutenant de Pap. former
ly an officer in a smart regiment OF
Austrian hussars. who was executed
by strangling some few years ago for
the murder of his brother. Previous
to his execution the murderer request
ed that he might be photographed
while hanging on the gallows. and a
copy of the CHASTITY picture sent to
his father.

dent Of the exposition Of 1911. He is
leader in business, financial, COM
mercial, Industrial social, legal, mil
itary and political circles. In fact,
he is one of the most well rounded
men to be found anywhere in the
south. His wide experience has es-
pecially fitted him for this service,
and the manner in which he is de-
veloping the exposition into success
the like of which the south has never
known, is proof conclusive of the
wisdom of the selection.
Col Tyscns career has been such
as to make him one Of the men of
wide affairs in the south. He is a
capitalist, manufacturer, brigadier
general, ex-member of house of rep
resentatives, ex-speaker of the house
of representatives, and has held other
positions of honor in Tennessee and the
south. He has always been recogniz-
ed as illustrating the force, character,
chivalry and gallantry of the true
southern business man and gentleman
Notwithstanding the fact that Col
Tyson is very busy man, being con-
nected in an official capacity with a
large number of business enterprises,
the love for his state and section in
duced him to accept the presidency of
the Appalachian exposition.
Col Tyson is president of the Knox
vile Cotton mills, the Lenior City
Land company, president of the Greek
Coal and Land company, vice-presi-
dent of the East Tennessee Coal &
Iron company and of the Poplar Creek
& Jellico Coal Mining company, and di-
rector in a number of banking and
other institutions.
Col. Tyson was originally from
North Carolina, and was born on the
glorious Fourth of July, 1861, the son
of Richard Lawrence and Margaret
