The Most Peculiar Lamp.

What is probably the most extra
ordinary, lamp in the world IS one
said to be more than 1000 years Old
which forms q part of the art coiiec-
ton Of the emperor of Japan.
In this lamp the oil is stored in the
body of Il rat. which sits upon the top
of a pole. Half way down the pole.
and resting on a projecting bracket, IS
a saucer, in the center of which is
pin that connects Il with the bracket
on " hich il rests. In this saucer anu
leaning over its side is WICK. Wheh
the saucer is filed with oil and the
wick is lit there is presented a lamp
that exhibits no peculiar qualities un-
til the greater part Of the oil has been
consumed Then suddenly stream
which suflices to repienish the now
nearly exhausted saucer. issues from
the mouth of the rat.
The saucer being full no more oil Is
discharged from the rats mouth untii
it is again nearly empty. when the
creature sitting above yields a further
supply. and so on till its store of oil IS
exhausted. The manner in which TINS
is accomplished is simple.
A peg that rises in the center of the
saucer, and attaches it to the support
on which it rests. terminates in
knob or cap; but the peg is hollow and
is connected with the body of the rat
by tube which runs along the brac-
ket and then ascends through the
stand to the upper portion of the rats
body.
The pin, which stands in the center
of the saucer, it should be remem-
hered, is perforated Immediately be-
low it's cap, or about half an inch
above the saucer. 1t is obvious, then,
that when the oil sinks to point at
which the hole is exposed air will en-
ter and thus allow the oil to run out
OF the rats mouth; but when this hole
is again covered by oil no further air
is admitted, and therefore no more OH
can run from the rats mouth.-Phila-

be gotten if We could add to this
Philadelphia, Chicago. Baltimore,

five years the church in America could
be giving over S1,000,o00 to missions.
Frequently there have been COM
plants that Catholics do not leave

our Protestant brethren to missionary
work. Did you ever consider that per
haps it is because we have no partic-
ular body TO which the money may be

Rt. Rev. Dennis DoughertY, -. D.,

islands, told the delegates that he be-
lieVed the cost of living in the islands

Philadelphia or Chicago. The wages

$40 month. y priest lived on about
one dollar a day and he also maintain
ed his church out of this amount.
Many of them were starving, he con
tinued but he did not know of one
instance where a priest had made
request To return to his own country.
The bishop said that he did not be
lieNe he could sleep easy unless he
had law suit on his hands. The
revolutions in the Philippines, and the
seizure of church property, brought
this about and at one time. he had SOD
law suits pending. He said he never
lost one of these.

Boston, Oct. "a central body to
control the missionary work of the
Catholic church in the United States
was favored by committee investi-
vim of Pittsburg, told the delegates
at the Catholic missionary congress,

The committee found. according to
the bishop that many of the mission

he said, that it would be better for
us to have one single missionary so

call it, operating in the United States,
taking the charter of one of the pres
ent societies as u foundation and
changing its name to The American

Such bureau or board should be
considered Il general missionary col

bishops and approved by Rome

killed his wood bison in herd OF 5oo'

mountain region far from any Prarle,
and in part of the continent geoio-
gically older than the prairie regions.
The prairie buffalo is almost extinct.

Hornaday, the few descendants of the
vast herds of bison that once overran
to Mr. Radfords yeritication of re-
ports concerning the bison of the
Great Slave Lake. DIR. Hornaday was
of the opinion that they were a north
ernmost herd of the familiar type of
the plains. 1t is now the belief of all
American naturalists that the wood
bison is a distanct species. perhaps the
ancestor of the prairie buffalo. The
two varieties, may yet have free range
in the great national parks and may
be permitted to multiply under the
protective care of the civilization that
all but destroyed them. The wood
bison is more massive, broader. and
bigger in every way than the bison of
the great West; generation hence
may witness their increase in great
numbers as a proper substitute for the
nearly eXterminated species. But it is
of Importance that the records gath

ions should be recovered and made

back this lately discovered species to
it's place of vantage among American
fauna.-New York Times.

not to buy the cheapest kind Disap-

UNI priced bulbs from some reliable
American dealer or, if you can af-
ford it, from an importer direct. Bulbs
multiply, and with proper care few
good ones will, in the course of sew
eral years, develop into an attractive

Grace Tabor, in House and Garden,
advises against the planting of bulbs

cient space to devote a corner of your
garden to spring bulbs it is best not
to attempt the bedding effects SO long

New York, Oct. 22.-The general cor

tie Negroes of the South a bishop to
represent them directly in the House

Majority and minority reports from

adopted The entire problem was re-
ferred, on viva voce vote, To JOINT
commission of deputies and bishops,
which will report to the next general
convention in 1916.
The commission will consist OF iiVe
bishops, five presbyters and five lay
men.
1t was announced on behalf of the
House of Bishops that the Rev. Hush
Burleson, secretary of the board OF ms
sions had declined appointment as
bishop of the missionary district OF
No. Dakota, explaining he preferred TO
continue his present duties. The kew.
Dr. John Pointz Tyler, arch deacon
Of Cumberland in the diocese of Mary

Cost of Wooden Fabrics.

After having had actual comparisons
of cloths made by experts to show
that the American manufacturers of
wooden fabrics are not going to be
driven out of business by the new
tariff, the American Wool and Cotton
Reporter does some further figuring to
demonstrate that the situation is far
from hopeless.
The stock argument" it says. lis
that our labor costs double that OF the
foreign manufacturer which may be
true, but proves nothing as to our in
ability to compete. Suppose we leave
the abstract and confine ourselves to
a concrete example for illustration.
We will assume that the fabric to be
manufactured is medium fancy
worsted, 2-f0s. half-blood warp and
filling, eleven ounces in weight.
Under the new tariff our wool will
cost the same as our competitors
stock, say 81 cents a clean pound. The
cost of making top should be paid for
from the proceeds of the sale of the
nofi, or very nearly. To make pound
of top will require 1915 ounces of
clean wool at COST of 60.125 cents.
Allowing cents a pound for con-
by-products and 22a cents for spin
ming costs gives a cost of S49s cents a
pound for yarn. The cost of stock
FOR eleven ounces finished will be l6
or S45s cents, or 6S.S cents, and the
cost of conversion into cloth 3T1s
cents. total of sio63, of which The
total conversion cost is So cents, and
of this only part is tine cost of
labor. Allowing 30 per cent. less for
manufacturing on the other side gives
the cost of stock and conversion as
f5.3 cents. which, with duty added,
gives $l,017 as the cost in the place of
origin, to which must be added consul
fees, freight and entry fees.
These figures are on Il basis of 80
per cent. less expense for labor and
overhead charges, which is an excess
sive allowance. as the labor cost a
yard in Bradford Is considerably mare
than this discount would figure, and
the overhead charges would differ
very slightly from those in well-or-
ganized. fairly capitalized American

a purchasable commodity, as has been
demonstrated In Cuba, Panama and

comparatively liberal supply of money
, to carry them out, is a striking eX-

twelve months under full time

laboratory and a corps of visiting nur
ses and sanitary inspectors, the death
rate in the county from typhoid fever
was reduced from Us per hundred

from all causes fell from 53S in 1911 to

comes slowly. Money to purchase
public health is given srudginsly by
those in charge of the public purse.
