sleeves board is attached at one end.
1t is screwed to the larger board and
when not needed may be swung
around out of the way or be unscreW-
ed and removed altogether.
This small board will, however, be
found of great service to the woman
who is doing up fine dresses and chill
dren's frocks. as it will be so much
easier to pull the sleeve or shoulder
over this board so near at hand, in
stead of having to turn to table
on which a small board is resting.
The woman who has never tried
one of these tiny boards in any form
whatever. will be delighted with this
collapsible ironing board. The large
board. too. may be swung around ana
the other end rested on table If de-
sired.
The woman living in an apartment
will appreciate this board, as the
" Wooden supports at each end fold up
and the lattice basket closes up, too'
and fastens over with a little hook.
The whole thing can. therefore be
stood in closet or placed back o.
tho kitchen door. Another feature
of this ironing board is that 1t can
be removed entirely from the Woo0-
el supports and used just as any
other board. so that if it is wanted IN
the sewing room the supports may
be left in the kitchen and the board
alone carried upstairs. irs.-PhiladelphlA

acted by initiative measure passed at
the last state election. On Decem-
Der will be held the annual city
election at which time there will be
elected mayor, three couuncilmen
marshal treasurer and record
er. In recognition of the fact that the
women are now legal voter of the
state the city council last evening
elected a board for the city election
and placed two women, one judge
and one a clerk of the votes cast. The
women holding the honor of being
perhaps the first to be elected to fill
an official capacity under the law
granting women the right to vote, are
Mrs. II. T. Duncan and Mrs. ]. M.
Hindman.
At a meeting of the city council the
ordinance providing for an electric
lighting system for the city passed its

WHY MEN ARE BALD

DR. Guelpa of Paris has made
some interesting studies pertaining to
the scalp and the hair, which nave
led him to the belief that men are
more frequently bald than women lor
three reasons. First of all, they wear
hard. heavy hats; secondly, they cut
tbeir hair too short both in summer
and winter and in the third place.
men usually are greater eaters tha''
women.
DR. Guelpa points out the taet ina,

THE SEARCHLIGHT.
Development of the Searchlight Due
TO New Inventions in Naval War

Development of the Searchlight Due
TO New Inventions in Naval War
fare.
Born of that great struggle between
the North and the South in the early
sixties the searchlight has been i'm
proved and developed until it sweeps
the sea for scores of miles and has
been adopted by all classes of sail
ing vessels, from dreadnought battle
ships to motor boats.
Torpedoes were first used with
deadly effect in the civil war. Usual
ly they were towed by fast steam
launches across the bows of the ship
to be destroyed. 1t became apparent
at once that means must be devised
to detect these fast launches before
they could get near enough to be dan
gerouS.
The first searchlight consisted of an
electric arc lamp and a Fresnel lens,
enclosed in a metal case, and mounted
in such a way as to be capable of ro-
tation in two planes, thus insuring the
illumination of any spot.
This apparatus, of very short range,
or penetrating effect, answered very
well until the Whitehead torpedo was
invented in 1871. This torpedo could
be discharged from a tube a long dis
! tance away from the ship at which
/ it was aimed. A more powerful beam
| of light was necessary and as result
! the Fresnel lens was superseded by q
/ glass mirror coated with silver. The!
are built in this way today, although
| the lamps are made better and more
powerful and the larger sizes are op
Grated and controlled by electric mo
! tors.
The searchlight is not by any means
| unknown to the mercantile marine
/ At least one is provided for in thC
( equipment of every up-tO-date liner
/ and no ship is allowed to pass through
the Suez canal without one of par
/ ticular type. If the vessel has not one
/ of her own she must borrow one from
/ the canal authorities No steam yach
of any pretensionS whatever would b'
/ considered to be complete if there
was not a searchlight in its electrica
/ equipment. Those steamers alsC
which have occasion to navigate the
! large rivers of South America and the
! great inland lakes of North America
! find a searchlight invaluable.
In determining the power of
searchlight the moon is a basis quan
| tity. 1t has been found that the
moon gives sufficient light to make {
! torpedo boat easily distinguishable a
| a distance of 1000 yards. The mos
powerful light in general use at thu
present time is an electric arc taking
a current of 15O amperes. There arr
more powerful lamps which take evel
as much as $50 amperes, but they ar,
not in general use. The amount o
! light was first increased by placin!
a conical mirror beneath the lamp
Still large part of the light wa
wasted, many of the rays being re
Elected into the sky, where they wer
useless to the observer. This led Il
the invention of the present almos
barrel-haped protector. The interio
mirrors condense the light into
beam which is very powerful ant
spreads only slightly. The projecto
can be rotated. lowered or elevated
at will, so that any desired area cal
be gone over with this tremendou
! beam.
