Marconi's successful experiment, in
the course of which he lighted an In.
candescent lamp six miles distant
from his power plant without the aid
of wires. is prophetic of the wonders
to be wrought in the future.
Hertzian waves will heat as we'll as
illuminate the dwellings of our descen-
dants, who will preserve in museums
rare specimens of the dirty furnaces
with which their ancestors once
wrestled.
No more ashes!
No more clinkers!
Our children or our grandchildren
will fly across the Atlantic at pleasure
in aeroplanes unburdened with fuel;
In airships driven by electricity which
has been shot from shore to motors.
Talking around the world then by
means Of radio-telephony will be as
easy and cheap as conversation with
Chicago is now over what we proudly
call the long distance.-Boston Globe.

some Qualities.

1t demands a hungry boy who has
taken hearty exercise In the open air
to steal native Maine crab apples for
the sake of eating them, asserts the
Bangor News. Even the red haw-
thorne plums after the frosts fall and
sweeten up the insides, are far more
preferable than the wild crabs. Re
peated heavy frosts add sweeting to
those balls Of sour fire, which makes
them pa1atable to wild cartridges, red
and gray squirrels, bluejays and rare
and beautiful grosbeaks. 1t is the
housewives Of Maine who most ap-
preciate the wild crab apple-par-
ticulariy for the making of tarts and
beautifully pink jellies, which stand
in sunny autumn windows and ripen
for days at time. The very essence
of the Northern hills is concealed in
those topping tumblers of glass.
No Maine housewife thinks of eat
ing a Thanksgiving turkey or
Christmas goose without crab apple
jelly to go along. Today 1t is more
highly esteemed than cranberry ssuce,
or summer jellies made from rhu-
barb, grapes or currants, or the col
ored parings of drying apples. Those
small individual cups of baked dough,
when filled with jelly and rechristened
under the family name of tarts, may
serve to whet ones appetite until he
can reach more substantial foods

glass or stone jars Of preserves in
brown sugar or molasses crab ap-
pie, which were slammed in delectable
sweetening with their stems intact,
SO that boys with uncultivated tastes,
who ate them greedily, irreverently
called them preserved mioe?"
With unbroken skins and plump
bodies fairly reeking in sweets, they
filled jar after jar along the cellar
shelves, and we're taken to school and
eaten with biscuit and butter for
school dinners, and even taken to the
sick or ailing as appetizers. There is
not a family physician in Maine who
is not intimately familiar with these
crab apple preserves" The old boys,
when they were really boys, termed
them topping" which meant the IA
vorite foods for finishing a meal. AS
matted beers and ales have taken the
place of hard and new cider upon the
family table, possibly apples, raisins
and evaporated fruits may have in
some degree crowded out crab apple
preserves.
Though they are going from our
cellar shelves and dining tables, fond
memories Of them hnger lovingly, nor
can the passing of almanacs and cal
endars totally erase them.

ly wages amounting to $10,S75,S01, and
the capital invested, excluding the

was 32,988,S15 bushels, an average
Of third of bushel for every man,
woman and child in the country.
Every restaurant, however humble or
wherever situated, as well as every
great hotel, Is expected during the
season to have oysters on the bill of
fare. In olden times the epicures of
Athens and other cities close to the
ocean had an abundance of shellfish
such as we use, and enjoyed them
very much. But to the Jews this kind
Of food was forbidden by their law,
which, allowing certain kinds Of fish,
rejected much sea food, including the
oyster, which was probably but little
known to the ancients. And whatso-
ever hath not fins and scales ys may
not eat; it is unclean unto you"

TUNGSTEN LAMP IS IMPROVED
Some Applications Of Light VIII Be
FOR Street Series Llghting--ideal
for Motion Pictures.

CBy J. f. RANKIN. Colorado Agricul
tural College.)
After long and laborious research,
lamp manufacturers announce that
they will soon place on the market a
new tungsten lamp, known technically
as the nitrogen-filled lamp. Nitrogen
prevents evaporation of the tungsten
hlament and thus allows the lamp to
be operated at a much higher temper
allure. This means that the efficiency
OF the new lamp is very much higher
twice that Of the tungsten lamp we
are now using. At present the lamp
viii be available only in large sizes,
LOCO c. p. or larger. The filament en-
ployed must be short and comparative
ly heavy, SO that the lamp must be
operated at low voltage though the
current through the filament is cor.
respondingiy high.
Some of the applications of this
lamp will be for street series lighting
where 1t may soon replace arc lamps
entirely for any large interior where
large mounting heights are available
and for projection lanterns, head
lights, etc. 1t should be an ideal light
for motion picture work.
The quality of the light produced by
these new lamps is nearly that of day
light. 1t is possible by use of a special
absorption screen to reproduce day
light conditions with a consumption
OF two watts per candle power.
