ELECTRIC ILLUMINATION.
The Difference Between the Arc Light
and the lncandcscent,


1t is Il curious fa"t that while the
average man know, that, roughly
speaking, there are two kinds of "elec-
trio li%ht"-the are light and the in.
candcScrnt light-he has hazy notion
Of the difference between the two.
The arc light and the incandescent
light differ N'olly in principle. in
brilliancy. in appearance and in the
mode of use. The distinguishing diff
ference to au ordinary observer be-
tween arc and incandescent lights may
be briefly stated thus: Arc lights burn
in the open air with carbon stick or
pencils. the points or ends of which
are heated to a white heat and grad
ually consumed.
Incandescent lights, on the contrary,
are produced inside small glass globes
of various shapes from which the air
has been exhausted. These lights are
caused by the passage of electricity
through a fine resisting wire or thread.
which is thereby raised into a white
Or incandescent light without being
consumed on account Of the absence
Of air If air leaks in the filament
Immediately burns up. and that is the
end of it,

BELOW ZERO.
Frost Is Going Deep Into Ground,
Which Is Taken by Farmers as
Favorable Omen.

This morning with the thermom-
eter registering % degrees below zero,
the coolest day of the winter was
ushered in. What the month of Decem-
Der gave us in mild weather, January
is making up threefold, and is hand
ing out some very frosty and pierre
ingly cold days. The precipitation has
been light so far this year and very
little snow, except that from the last
storm is left upon the ground.
Farmers who have ventured out
during the past few days state that
the frost is going very deep into the
earth This condition is looked upon
as very good omen on account of
the breaking up OF the packed earth
and letting, whe the thaws come,
much of the moisture 60 to a great
depth in the soil and thus provide
moisture for the growing grains OF

DURING The Year
TWO OF SUN AND TWO OF THE
MOON ARE SCHEDULED
FOR 1912,
Number Of Comets Will Appear and
Will Be Observed With Interest by
Astronomers of Country.

Astronomical phenomena for the in
coming year, 1912, will embrace four
eclipses. two of the sun and two Of
the moon. Those of the moon are
only partial, and that of the sun, April
II, will have too short a duration of
totally to permit of valuable observa-
tons.
The total eclipse of October 10 will
attarct more attention, since the path
of totality passes across South Amer
lea from Quito to Rio de Janeiro.
which makes practicable many eclipse
expeditions, especially from observa.
tories in the United States, the dura'
ton of totality being nearly two min
utes, which will permit much work OF
value being done.
Partial eclipses Of the moon, April
I, invisible at Bismarck, the beginning
visible generally in Europe, Africa and
Asia, with the ending in South Amer
lea.
A central eclipse of the sun, Aprli
1917, visible at Bismarck as partiol
eclipse. the sun rising eclipsed' the
central eclipse will be total for about
% minutes at the middle of it's dura-
ton.
There will be a partial eclipse OF
the moon September 1926, the moon
setting at Bismarck as the eclipse be-
gins; the beginning visible in North
America, the ending visible in central
and western North America, the Ps..
cific ocean, Australia and central and
eastern Asia.
The total eclipse of the sun will
occur October $40 and will be invisi-
BILE at Bismarck.
Several periodic comets are due to
return to perihelion in 1912. Woolf's
comet, which has already bee photo
graphed coming into our system, will
reach us some time in February.
Barnard's comet, 1892 v, is due at
perihelion in the middle Of the sum-
mer, but, as it has not been yet
seen. it is not likely to be recovered
this year.
Bela's "lost comet" so famous in
astronomical history, is due the COM
ing year, provided it's orbit has re.
NAMED unchanged, and there Is, 1t Is
thought, a possibility taat the earth
may encounter some Of the particles
or fragments of this lost comet when
the earth crosses its path next au'
tumn.
Holmes comet is due at perihelion
on it's third return early in 1913, but
is more likely to be observed the COM
ling summer.
Besides periodic comets several
new comets discovered in 1911 will re-
main visible throughout part of the
year, notably Brooks, Quemisset's
and Schaumona's.
OCCUPATIONS of stars by the moon
arefrequent phenomena, yet interest
ing and valuable as observed through
a telescope. especially valuable astro-
nomically if the times are accurately
noted. Ninety-six of these OCCUPATIONS
will be visible to the astronomers OF
the country during the year 1912.
