Factory LIahtIna.

A special report on illumination in
factories states that as regards arti.
ficial illumination there seems to be
little to chose between kghting by
electric glow lamps and by modern
systems Of incandescent gas. Elec-
trio light has the advantage OF being
constant and requiring little attention
beyond the systematic busting and
renewal of lamps. The gas systems
generally produce q whittier and more
powerful light that electric current,
but the units are apt TO vary much
in efficiency, owing TO the liability of
the mantle to deteriorate. Careful at
tentton, therefore, is required to re-
place any that show signs of weak
ness. Electric light. of course, causes
no vitiation OF the atmosphere; but
in the modern systems OF gas lighting
the amount OF gas burnt is 80 small
and the combustion 80 complete that
the effect on the air is minimized.
For the perfect local lighting Of any
point OF work the three following con-
ditions must be fulfilled; ID The IL.
Elimination must be adequate, l2)
"gIare" effects must be absent, and
CD no troublesome shadows must be
cast on the work.

CUPID EXCEEDS SPEED LIMIT
New Jersey Couple Meet, Woo and
Wed All inside Of Thirteen
Hours.

Cupid exceeded the speed limit for
quick marriages when Piscel Balais Of
Clark street and Miss Rosa Razca Of
Cass street boarded the train at
Trenton, N. J., as perfect strangers,
and within IS hours had ridden to
matrimony and happiness.
The young couple had never seen
each other until they were introduced
at the home of a friend. The youth,
captivated, was soon riding on air,
and began his suit Immediately. At
ten he popped the question aggressive
ly, and the maid surrendered, not lay
ing down her arms, exactly, but max
ing better use of them.
At 10:30 Miss Razca had bought her
trousseau and Balais his wedding suit,
both purchases being made in a store
where the girl was a saleswoman.
When the city hall opened the
couple were waiting to get the license,
answered the required questions in a
few short moments that seemed all
too long. Then they looked up a cler-
gyman and were married half an hour
afterward.

with two new 12-inch guns. These are
Of the latest type. The armer plates

And They Meant it.

A little girl with fiaxen curls, and
a little boy, her brother, came into
The Capital Office yesterday after
noon. The little girl held in her
hand partly concealed behind her a
roll of paper.
''What does it cost to put some
thing in the paper?' she asked with
enduring tone and anxious blue eyes.
cit all depends, said The Capital.
Lets see, and she presented two
letters to Santa Claus spelled Claws, .
and written in childish hand.
One asked Santa to bring drum
and box of tools, and horse. 1t
was signed "Ulhman Sadler." The
other asked for a doll, necklace.
some cakes and candy and fruit, and
was signed 'Flossie Sadler.
1t would take too much space to
publish all the Santa Claus letters in
the little Capital, and the paper
hopes the children will excuse it of
this great burden added to its other
duties.

house the exhibits and displays of
the second annual North Dakota In

marck Oct. to 13. The main build
ing is being enlarged by the addition
Of machinery hall having a floor
area of 1000 square feet. Here every
known mechanical aid for the farmer
will be shown.
The new dairy building will con-
tain three large halls on the first floor,
I One hall will contain a display of
creamery and dairy equipment. The
middle room will be remodeled into
lecture room, with raised seats for
the spectators and a platform on
which pure bred stock may be sta
toned while lectures on dairying are
being delivered by experts of the.
United States dairy division. The
third hall will be converted into a
model sanitary dairy barn, with the
very latest equipment and accessories
known to man. Adjoining the new
dairy building will be the poultry
house, where the poultry show will
be held.
The state armory will house the
bench show Of the Western Kennel

of the Industrial Exposition. During
the second week an auto display will
occur. when over forty 1913 models
