Mazda lamps used in residences are
of the 40 watt size.
Many people ask themselves and
others this question, "Is it cheaper to
buy and use Mazda lamps than 1t is
to use the old carbon filament lamps.
when the fact that the lighting com
pany renews the latter free Of charge
is taken into consideration
For the benefit of our readers who
have not had the question answered
satisfactorily, we wish to submit the
following figures;
A Mazda lamp will burn for 500
hours as a rule, before it gets black
ened or burns out. Some burn out
before the 800 hour point is reached
but many burn a great deal longer.
Since 40 watt lamp consumes 40
watthours in one hour, in 800 hours
it will consume 800 times 40 watt
hours, orr $4,000 watthours, which is
equal to 80 kilowatthours, tx. W. H.
AS the average rate for current is
10 cents per K W. H., the cost of
current consumed by a 40 watt lamp
in 500 hours is 32 X. W. H. times 10
cents, equals 1920. To this 1920 we
must add the cost of the lamp, which
is now Csc, making total cost of
1885 for 800 hours use of the Mazda
lamp.
Now to compare this cost with the
cost of current consumed by car
bon filament lamp or lamps giving
the same amount of light. Since a
40 watt Mazda lamp gives 80 candle
power of light, we would have to
use two 16 C. p. or one 80 C. p. car
bon lamp to get the same amount of
light. One 16 C. p. carbon lamp con-
sumes so watt hours in one hour,
therefore two of them would con-
sumo two times so watthours or 100
watthours and in 800 hours they
would consume 800 times 100 watt
hours or $4,000 watthours or so X.
w, H., which at 10 cents per K W.
H. costs $500.
Since the carbon lamps are re-
newed free, this cost of $500 is the
total cost for 800 hours use of two
carbon filament lamps giving the
same amount of light that is given by
one 40 watt Mazda lamp.

A PROMISING YOUTH.
IIarper's Weekly.


l didn't think much OF that kid of mine
Until Fourth of July came along.
l loved the lad with a love divine,
And he'd filled all our hearts with song;
But didn't believe he'd amount to much,
He seemed so slow and sedate-
He appeared to me to be lacking the touch
- That goes with the truly great
But Fourth of July with its boom and
blare
First changed all that outlook bleak,
And / sort of felt there was genius there
For reaching some pinnacied peak;
For he suddenly popped from his quiet
shell,
Straight out of it's confines dire,
And seemed in flash to give promise Of
well,
OF setting the world on fire!
And later on, when the Christmas chime
Was making the world elate,
II seemed to me If we gave him time
He'd rank with the wondTous great
For | tried to sleep for an hour or two
On a nice little divan curled
And then in another flash / knew
He'd make big noise in the world!

Wool and the Wearer.

President Cooling OF the National
Wool Growers association makes a
very strong argument for his side Of
the tariff question. His comparison
Of wages and conditions OF life
in the wool industry in the United
States and in countries that furnish
competition is one Of the most per-
tinent points.
II is entirely out OF the question
that sheep herding can be carried on
in the United States on the basis
OF foreign countries because OF the
different conditions that prevail, SO
for the mere matter Of wages alone,
the wool grower is entitled to the
protection afforded by the duty on
foreign wool. But the most serious
point raised by Mr.. Gooding is the
charge that neither the grower of
the wool, nor the maker of the cloth
shares in the high price that is ex-
torted from the wearer of the
clothes. This Is a condition for which
the tariff is i'm no way responsible,
and no amount OF legislation by con-
gress can have any serious effect
upon It. Whether the charge to the
wearer is greater than conditions
Justify can only be determined by a
thorough investigation into the
economic phases OF the question.
The wool passes through many
hands on its way from the sheeps
back to the back of the man, and
profits are taken at every step. To
determine whether these profits are
too high will necessitate an inquiry
into every aspect of the service. The
question is too much involved to per-
init OF an offhand answer. but the
case for the wool man could scarcely
be presented with greater force than
it was in Mr.. Gooding's address.

Canal Tolls.

II is generally agreed that the
commercial success OF the Panama
canal to this country at large de-
Ponds chiefly upon what the tolls
are. They must be low enough to eff
feet by competitive influence trans
portatlon on land and give the ship
per the relief he deserves John
Barrett, director general Of the Pan
American union, declares that these
tolls should be fixed at the lowest
possible figure and that they can
not be made too low. II they are
fixed at $50 ton, as is being
agitated by certain interests, he de-
clares they may effect decrease
annually OF $75,O0O,OOO to the COM
merce of this nation, whereas IL SO
cents ton is the figure, he says IL
will mean to the city of Philadelphia
alone in the next three or four years
an increase in export trade OF $780,
900, 600.
Mr.. Barrett makes the unpleasant
assertion that:
There Is an apathetic condition in
congress. prompted, believe. by power
full influences, TO make the tolls as high
as possible. while the general sentiment
OF the country is TO have the tolls fixed
at a figure which win make possible
successful competition In transporting the
commerce OF the nation
But the popular idea now seems
to be that these tolls should be fixed,
not by congress, but by the presi-
dent; that this is an administrative
problem. Emory II. Johnson, a stu
dent of the situation, insists upon
this plan. In n recent discussion OF
the subject he said:
Undoubtedly congress will this winter
include in It's canal legislation grant Of
authority to the president to decide what
the tolls shall be and to make such
changes in them from time to time as
may be justified by the volume Of traffic
and the amount OF revenue obtained from
the canal.
Congress. therefore, while it may
not make the tolls, has the power to
define the authority for making
them. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Barrett has misinterpreted the tenn
per of congress on this subject, for
It would be extremely unfortunate
not to give this matter the most
earnest consideration. and that, too,
at the earliest possible date, for the
fixing of tolls must be done far
enough ahead of the opening of the
canal to enable shipping companies
to adjust their affairs to the sched-
ules.

Denartment of Instioe

Even from a strictly financial stand
point the Department of Justice has
paid this last year, as Attorney Gem
erai Wickersham shows In his annual
report to congress; paid, that Is. in
the simple sense of taking in more
money than II paid out. 1t secured
for the government in fines, recov-
cred customs and the like, $4,2O4,-
115, and It spent in maintaining
itself and all its aggressive work
$3,223,773, leaving a balance,
But this is, of course, not the test
Of the departments efficiency; 1t is
probably the least important of all
considerations by which to Judge of
the service It has rendered the coun-
try. In many respects the last year
has been the most important OF all
years In the history of trust prose-
cution, or prosecution of violations
of the Sherman antitrust law, which
is coming to be the big feature OF
this departments work. For, while
not all the important results reached
came from work initiated during the
year, some did and others came
from work begun during the present
administration. At any rate, we
may be sure that the Department OF
Justice under Attorney General
Wickersham has been and still is
a very busy arm of the government.
One thing for which the country
has especially to thank this depart
ment is the rigid enforcement Of
the customs laws. This Is a reform
of very extensive influence and the
more difficult TO achieve because IL
had through long years OF practice
become fashionable II possible to
beat these laws.
In the matter OF antitrust suits
the Taft administration has, up to
November l.. prosecuted or begun
thirty-seven, the last one being
against the United States Steel cor
poration, the greatest OF all ever at
tempted by the government. Presl-
dent Roosevelt established the record
OF forty-four such prosecutions from
September IA. 1910, TO March 4,
1909, through three attorneys gem
eral, Messrs. Knox, Moody and
Bonaparte. Nothing like this had
ever been done up to this time.
September II, 1901. to March 4,
attorneys general, Messrs, McKenna,
Griggs and Knox, started three
prosecutions from March 4, 1897, to
September IA, 1901. This shows, as
compared with the Roosevelt and
Taft records. the evolution and
growth OF public sentiment with ref
erence TO trust regulation. President
Cleveland started eight suits in his
second term, through Attorneys
General Olney and Harmon, and
President Harrison's attorney gen
eral, MIR. Miller, started seven.
