II is a curious fart that while the

speaking. there are two kinds Of ''elec-
trio light~-the arc light and the in
cundescent llght-le has hazy notion
Of the difference between the two.
The arc light and the incandescent
Hight differ wholly in principle, in
brilllaney. In appearance and In the
mode Of use. The distinguishing diff
ference to an ordinary observer be-
tween arc and incandescent lights may
be briefly stated thus: Are lights burn

pencils. the points or ends Of which
are heated to a white heat and grad

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. II air leaks in the filament
immediately burns up, and that is the
end Of It,.

ed years ago, referring TO the suppos-

For many years there served In the
United States senate a man Of brilliant
mind and many fine qualities. but who
was forever estranging many with
whom he desired TO be friendly by
reason of his incurably sarcastic man
ner both of speech and action Once
an intimate friend wrote the senator
urging the appointment of another
friend to minor position in the gov
ernment. The senator returned most
sarcastic reply. declining to recon-
mend the appointment. 1t is said that
he never forgot the merited rebuke he
received from the friend who had sug
gested the appointment:
Ny Dear Senator-I think it would be
well for you to reserve your sarcasm for
the rapidly increasing number OF your en-
emies. instead Of offering il to the de-
creasing number OF your friends. Of whom

about the toothsome scallop? The lit
tie round bits of white meat we see in
the market are really the hearts of bi-

Bile part Of a scallop is the muscular
tissue that controls the opening and

Is derived from the fiuted shape of the

In fact. the weight Of the scallop is so
near that of an equal volume of water
that it floats by the very slight propul-
sive force given by the opening and
closing of the shell; hence scallops
have the reputation of n shelltish that
