FRENCH DISCOVERY
MAY REvOLUTIONIZE
ELECTRIC LIGHTING

Paris, Jan. PIN. Dussaud, a French
scientist, who. has discovered a means
for the production of what he terms
'tcold light" has revealed some details
of his discovery, which, it is thought,
may revolutionize electric lighting.
Starting the principle that rest
is as essential to matter as to animal
organism, he has constructed an cleo
trio lamp in which the light is CON
centrated on a single point by fila
nlents working successfully; thence
the light is projected through a lens
magnifying a thousand fold. Thus
he has succeeded in concentrating a
1000 candle power light on one point
and in passing 81 volts into an eight
volt lamp, which with the ordinary
light would burst.
Experiments with this lamp have
tablished that this new light is alb
soIuteIy without danger, as no heat is
given off and it requires a hundred
lamp. It can be worked by a tiny
battery, or sufficient motive power can
be obtained from a jet of water from
an ordinary faucet, or even a squirrel
turning cage
The light. it is said, offers treat ad-
Vantages in protogra ply, as its pho
togenic power is four times that of
the magnesium f1ashlfght 1t has been
tried with great success at the Biarritz
lighthouse, and NJ. Dussaud is working
on its application to search1ights for
the ministry of war.

However, that was not the end of

COLUMBIA TO HAVE
FOOTBALL IN 1913
President Butler Finally Decides
Game Is Not Dangerous

Football is to be revived. at COL
U-M-B-I-A
Yep, the Blue and White is going to
tear things up on the gridiron once
more, either next season or in 1914
This wonderful change has been ac-
las Murray Butler that football can
again be played safely and success
fully at CoIu-nbia under the new rules.
The great record made by last season
causing Dr.. Butler to change his
stand regarding Columbia's playing
the game.
The absence of a single fatality on
the gridiron last year convinced DR..
Butler that the rouRhness and brutal
ity in football which caused its death
at Columbia, has been eliminated and
that the strenuous sport played under
the modified rules wasn't SO dangerous
after all. So, after an absence Of eight
years, it is extremely likely that the
Blue and White will be represented
on the gridiron next season, if a sched-
ule can be framed up in time or in
1914, at the latest Now, let the cheer
ing squads get busy.
According to reports that leaked out
DR.. Butler requested opinions from
former stars and members of the al
urnni on the adviSabi1ity of giving
back football to the college. The opin-
ions have been drifting in during the
last two weeks. AS far as can be
learned every one was unanimous in
stored safely and successfully at Col
umbia 1t is believed that DR. Butler
was so impressed with the recommen-
dationS given him by prominent mem
bers of the alumni that he made up
his mind to lift the ban against foot
ball, and if present plans do not mis-
carry will do so officially in the next
few days.

values, but an increase in poverty, for
the high price of land marks the scar
city of land, and shows that there is
not, under the present conditions
enough land for everybody.
Only what the farm produces can be
considered. Mr.. Craft said, in any true
sense as wealth.
He also pointed out, the now recog-
nized fact, that the existing economic
system can only be maintained by
maintaining scarcity.
Instead, of encouraging men TO TO
duce all that they can it attaches
penalty to plenteous production. and
men starve to death, or go hungry and
without the opportunity to labor be-
cause they have made too much Of eV-
erything.
In an interesting manner he also
punctUred the beautiful old maxim
that all who save must prosper. and
he showed that If all did gave all
that each made the result might be
the immediate cessation Of every mod
ern industry.
Thrift, therefore, he reduced to a viz
tut of necessity, made so by an un-
scientific system of production and
distribution
Mr. Craft was careful to say that
his views were founded upon the Ia
borious studies and fnvestf ga tons Of
his father, who is a retired Methodist
clergyman, who has devoted years Of
thought and effort to the theory Of
production which Will be enunciated IN

BREAK GROUND
FOR BOATHOUSE
At PRINCETON

Princeton, N J.. Jan 21-Groupd
was broken yesterday for the founda-
tions of Princeton's new boathouse,
the donation to Princeton's crusade to-
ward the revival of rowing which IS
being made by the class of 1887.
The building promises to be one of
the handsomest of the kind in the
country. 1t is from the plans of Pen
nington Satterthwaite, of New York
City, which have just been accepted.
At present every effort is being bent
toward the completion of the Struc-
ture by June in order that 1T may be
dedicated at that time.
The site chosen for the new boat
house is at the upper end of the lake
donated by Andrew Carnegie, 100
yards east of the Pennsylvania Rail
road bridge, and about thirty feet
back, from the water The building it
self will correspond to the general
style of Princeton architecture and
will be two stories in height, having
reinforced concrete floors and a slate
root
The latest acquisition to the rowing
equipment here is a handsome eight
Dared shell, which has been presented
by Warden Mclean, H. of PhiYade1-
plhia. Princeton has already arranged
a triangular regatta with Harvard

NEW HAVEN PLAYER
WINNING SUCCESS
Sam B. Hardy Is Gaining Favor
With Metropolitan Audiences

Mr.. and Mrs. Sam B. Hardy of New
York city spent Sunday at the home
Of his parents, 165 WhalIey avenue,
New Haven.
Mr.. Hardy is a clever young actor
who has been steadily gaining favor
with New York audiences before which
he has been appearing for the past
three months as an able supporter of
Douglass Fairbanks in Hawthorne of
the u S. A"
His ease and pleasing manner ON the
stage together with his clear enuncia-
ton and distinct pronunciation are
only two of Mr.. Hardy's qualifications
which give promise of a, brilliant fu-
ture for him.
At the close of their present engage
nnent in New York next week the COM
pany will leave for Chicago and the
West for a three months circuit, and
it is hoped that Mr.. Hardy will receive
as much favorable criticism there as
he has in New York.
New Haven is to be congra tulated
upon having a young man of such
promise in the theatrical world claim

WRIST IS RIGHT
First SACKER EXPECTS
TO HELP TIGERS THIS
YEAR.

Detroit, Jan. 21.-De1 Gainor, the
Tigers young first baseman, yesterday
signed a contract to play for Manager
Jennings next season. Gainor says the
second operation on his wrist was a
complete success. and that his arm is
now as strong as it ever was. He says
he has forgotten he ever broke his
wrist.
Gainor came to Detroit in the
spring of 1911 with a fine reputation
made in the bushes. He lived up. 20
his record when he joined the Tigers
and his dashing play was a big fac
tor in Detroit's string OF victories in
the first half of the 1911 season.
Gainor broke his wrist in nidseasOn

club ever since. If his arm is now
fully recovered, as he says it is, he
will be a big help to the Tigers next
season.

JOHNNY LORE De- EATS

Johnny Lore whose work during the
past few months has stamped him as
one of the best Iightweights in the
East, added another victory to his
rapidly growing list at the Olympic
A. G. of Harlem last night, when he
mixed with Lee johnson of Harlem in
the final bout. 1t was a battle of
Lore's superior strength and aggres-
siveness against the clever and elusive
negro, and the victory was far from a
one-sided affair. In fact, Lore had to
step at top speed every minute to gain
the honors.
Lore tipped the oeam atti "a pounds
ing the ring, and Johnson weighed
only 126 pounds. johnson was slight
ly taller than Lore, and looked lean
in contrast when he faced the we'll
