Remarkable Discovery of Frenchmar
Expected to Make Revolution in
Price-Its Advantages.

Paris.-A remarkable discovery.
which, it is believed, will make a
revolution in electric lighting, is an
nounced by young French scientist,
M Dussaud. and is making a great
sensation among experts. By its
means 1t is asserted that illumination
can be produced at one-fiftieth part
of the cost at present necessary.
NJ. Dussaud's invention consists
partly in the repeated interruption
of low voltage current for a frac-
ton of a second each time. At each
cutoff the lamp rests for an infin-
itesimal period, so short that the eye
receives the impression of continuous
light, but long enough to allow the
fiiament to cool. Combined with this
intermittent current small lamps
about an inch In diameter are
used, with a filament of tungstenate,
which offers very little resistance to
the current. and yet gives a light
thirteen and half times greater
than any of the lamps now on the
market
The consequence of the alternate
heating and cooling of the filament is
that the lamp remains practically
cold, the surface never rising above
40 degrees centigrade. 1t can there
fore be placed as close as is desired
to the condenser of an optical in
strument, thus enormously increasing

Election Of lorimzr.

Washington President Taft's adj
ministration has been brought into
the Lorimer election in a new way
when Governor Deneen, OF Illinois,
testified that as early as August,
1909, Secretary of the Treasury Mac
veagh sent for him to ascetain for
the President matters regarding the
election of Senator Lorimer. This
was about three months after Mr..
Lorimer's election.
Whether Secretary MacVeagh was
proceeding on his own initiative or
the President had actually suggested
that he interview Governor Deneen
was not revealed 1t was not de-
veloped whether an extended inquiry
was being conducted by the admins
tration into the manner OF Senator
Lorimer's election.
Governor Deueen mentioned the
name of Secretary MacVeagh when
he was asked whom he had given his
version of the famous telephone con-
versation between Edward Hines and
himself on the day Lorimer was
elected. II was during this CONVEX
sation, so Hines testified, Deneen
promised to support Lorimer. This
Governor Deneen denied Hines testi-
fed he said over the telephone that
he was on his way TO Springfield to
bring Deneen a message from Sena-
tor Aldrich and President Taft
about Lorimer's election. Deneen
testified Hines said the President was
sending him a message through Aid
rich, who would have George Reyn-
olds. president of the Continental
National Bank, deliver it.
Governor Deneen testified that
when he responded to Secretary Mac
Veagh's request TO call at the Federal
Building, in Chicago, Mr.. MacVeagh
said he wanted to ascertain for the
President matters regarding Sena-
tor Lorimer's election. and that he
tDeneen) jokingly replied:
Ask the President He was the
man who is said to have sent the
message that did it.
Governor Deneen added that in re-
spouse to further inquiry from the
Secretary he related the conversation
between himself and Hines.
THE conversation only lasted 10
or Is minutes, for the Secretary, af-
ter had related my part in the cleo
ton, said that he was astonished at
the reports added Governor De-
reen.

Dubois, Pa.-Twenty-one miners
were killed in an explosion in the
shaft of the Cascade Coal and Coke
Company's mine at Sykesville, nine
miles from here Saturday night.
The explosion occurred at $50, but
it was after midnight before the ex-
tent of the disaster was known. All
of the dead but three were foreign
ers
The explosion was slight, as evil
denced by the small damage done in
the mine, but the deadly after damp
is responsible for most of the deaths.
Three sets of brothers and father
and son are numbered among the
dead. George and John Heck and
Nick Pavelick and his 15-year-old son
were found by the rescuers locked in
each others arms as though they
embraced each other in their dying
moment.
None of the bodies was mutilated
and only several showed any burns.
Eleven of the men in one heading had
apparently made ready TO escape, for
they carried their dinner pals and
were headed for the opening.
The first intimation of the eXplo-
sion at the surface was when the
safety door on the fan blew open and
the machinery began to run. 1t is
surmised there was trouble below,
but it was almost midnight when
rescuers could enter the mine 1t
took some time to get to the scene
of the accident, mile and a half
from the opening, because the rescu-
ers were obliged to carry oxygen
with them.
All but four of the bodies were
brought to the foot of the shaft early
Sunday, but were kept there until
all were recovered.
Four bodies were buried beneath a
cavern in a heading
The State police from PunxsS-
tawney were called to police the vii
cinity of the shaft, and when the
bodies were brought out there wal
