There was no way in which Freckles
could know it, but by following his

Of him and seeing his face over his

stepped to the curb to mount his wheel

The angel separated herself from

to him. She was in snowy white-a

After three years research work. a

said, In producing tungsten In such
form that 1t could be drawn into
continuous wire one-thousandth of an
inch in thickness used In any length
or bent to any shape At the same
time. Its tensile strength has been
increased
Hitherto tungsten has only been
producible In short lengths. The new
discovery makes 1t possible to use a

the risk Of breakage Is reduced to a
minimum and the life of the lamp
considerably extended.
