ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Different Methods on Which Arc and
!ncandescent Lamps Work.

The arc light and the incandescent
light work on totally different prin-
ciples. 1t was noted many years ago
that when an electric circuit was
broken the current jumped across Il
slight gap. producing brilliant flame.
The shape of this flame was roughly
an arc from one conductor TO the other
Thus the word arc" was adopted. All
arc lamps burn in the air and not in
vacuum. The light is produced by the
current leaping across small air gap
between the two electrodes. or carbon
carbons white hot. Floating particles
of white hot carbon also add TO the
brilliancy. A mechanism is necessary
to feed" IN the carbons as fast rs they
burn away, or otherwise the gap would
increase until the current could not
jump across and the light would go
out

8. In every community there are
housewives who are efficient in some
one or other of the domestic arts,
such as the making of cake, the bak-
ing OF bread, the serving of luncheon
and dinners Under this cooperative
plan the school girls have the advan-
tage of the various recipes and me-
thods; also of the varied instruction
the advocates of these recipes are
able to give. Under the ordinary
plan the domestic science teacher
would be compelled to give all this
varied knowledge in the classroom
under artificial conditions.

bringing the school nearer the people
and of keeping the mothers close to
the girls in their school work.

WELLESLEY FACES CRISIS
Insurance Only About Quarter of
Cost Of Restoration

Boston, March 19.-The immediate
future of Wellesley College is in
doubt as a result of the financial loss
sustained in the fire that destroyed
College Hall. the one great building
OF the institution. on Tuesday. The
true situation, II was said, was not
realized until the executive commit
tee met and discovered that the esti-
mated loss OF 5000, was based on
assessors valuation of greatly de-
preciated property and that the In.
surance obtainable represented only
about one-fourth of the probable cost
of restoration.
The Right Rev. William Lawrence
Episcopal Bishop Of Massachusetts,,
pesident of the executive committee
said oday that within few days he
would call the trustees together to
take some definite action toward put
ting the college Immediately into
working order. but at present he said
the officers were at sea as to what
steps to take
Ellen F. Pendleton, president OF
the college. said that all the students
had been notified to be back in three
weeks and that it was hoped to re-
sumo sessions at that time.

MAKING GIRLS MORE EFFICIENT
Novel Plans Being Tried Out at Hol.
ly, Colorado

The Woman's Civic club of Holly.
Colo, desiring to help the girls of
that community to become more eff
cient in the common duties of house
keeping, co-operates with the school
in the teaching OF household art.
The plan is as follows: The girls OF
the high school are divided into four
classes, as indicated by the year Of
the work they are taking in the high
school. AS many divisions are made
of each class as are necessary to Sc
cure the best results. These dlvl.
sions meet once or twice week at
the various homes OF the city. and
the girls cook, sew, and do other
household work, such as washing.
sweeping, and busting, under the di-
rect supervision of the teacher and
the mistress of the house. a definite
outline of the work to be done in the
home is given TO the class and also 70
the lady of the house, so that she
may have the material and utensils
necessary ready for the use of the
girls. who do all the work and leave
the house in the same condition es
they found it, washing and drying all
dishes and putting them into their
proper places.
In the latter part of the course six
or seven of the girls prepare and
serve light luncheon to six or sew
en- other girls, the outlay of money be
ing limited. The preparation and
serving Of the luncheon. also the con-
versation and manners Of the guests.
are carefully criticised by both teach
err and pupils.
Occasionally the various divisions
visit the grocery store to learn how
to order groceries, the meat market
to learn to distinguish the different
cuts Of meat, the furniture store to
plan for the furnishing Of a home.
the hardware store TO plan for the
purchase of kitchen utensils. During
the summer months the work is car
ried along by the mothers in the
homes, who follow the outline the
teacher leaves with the leader OF the
civic club.
The advantages claimed for the
plan are:
l. There is no need Of expensive
school apparatus.
? The girls learn TO cook and do
homework in the home and with the
material and equipment found there
and not in domestic science kitchen
with utensils much better than those
found In the average home Of the
community. The fact that they visit
several homes during the course OF
instruction gives the advantage OF

FALL OF LIEGE DENIED.

BRUSSELS. Belgium, Aug. g. The Belgium war office denies that the Germans have captured Liege, but it is admitted that the strong hold is surrounded by German troops.
 It is announced officially that there are 50,O00 civilian laborers work ing day and night digging trenches between the forts at Liege, and it is planned to off1r the Germans new resistance as soon as these are con- pleted All wires from Liege are cut, and thus communication with the troops there has been severed. It is believed the Germans are run ming short of shells.
 Armies of three nations have gathered near the French border to offer resistance to contemplated German invasion. The armies are English, French and Belgian. The combined armies are the scenes of great rejoicing, and the national airs of the three countries are being sung as an indication of good fel- lowship.

EM BASSADOR TALKS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug g. In a lengthy statement issued by Acting Ambassador Haimhausen, Germany's side of the present war situation is explained.
 Americans are requested by the Ambassador to withhold their judS- ment until there are more develop ments To show how false news is often given out by the opposition, the ambassador called attention to the time that the battle of Sc dan was fought in 1870 The Ameri- can newspapers published the re- port that the French had won the battle, the news having been sent through French sources, but the next day the battle was actually won by the German troops.
 For years, Servia has been nag ging Austria, he said, and it seem d that the former was planning to force war upon the latter coun- try. When Russia insisted on mob lizing her troops and preparing for war, the kaiser made protests, which were ignored. Germany he said did not want to go to war until forced to do so, but it was Russia's actions that brought the conflict about.
 There was no intention on the part of the German government to war with England, and such war was not desired, the ambassador said, but the latter insisted on bottling the German fleet in the Baltic, and In other ways interfering with the German navy, and war was the only possible result.
 In conclusion MT. Haimhausen as sured the American people that Ger many has always maintained the most friendly feeling for the United States, and he expressed the hope that nothing would come up to mar the friendship that is existing be- tween the two nations.

YOUNG MEN 0F WEALTH HERE
 F0R B|C HUNT.
kARSTENS WILL PILOT PARTY TO MT. M'klNLEY
 DISTRICT.

Three young men. the sons of New York millionaires, arrived on the Yukon yesterday and will leave about Wednesday for the Mount Mckinley district to hunt big game until early winter. The young men are Nor gan Belmont, son of August Bel mont, the noted financier, H. c. Morgan, son of J. P. Morgan, Jr., and C. O. Iselin. Jr. All three grad uated this year from Harvard uni versity.
 The party will be under the direo- tion of Harry Karstens, who made a reputation for himself as an Alas ka guide when he took the Arch deacon Stuck party to the top of Mt. Mckinley. He will be assisted by Ed. Sikes and D. E. Durgin. The party will return to Fairbanks about the middle of December.
 On the steamer Yukon when she leaves today will be the pack train of the party, which will leave the steamer at Nenana, and will go up the Nenana river for some distance. The main party will leave on @ launch, going down the Panama to the Kantishna river, and up that stream to it's junction with the Toklat river. The launch will be abandoned at that point. and the party will go up the Toklat river in polling boats until it meets the pack train, which comes across from the Nenana river.
 After meeting the pack train. the supplies will be loaded on the horses and the hunters and guides will mush for the last 45 miles to the headwaters of the Toklat river, where the permanent camp will be made, under the very shadow, it might be said, of Mt. Mckinley, in the Alaska range. There will be ten horses in the pack train, and these will be handled by Mike Cooney. assisted by Johnny Burns. Forty dogs will go with the party also, and these will be used in com ing out in the winter over the snow.
 The young men visited The Citi- zen office last night, and in talking of the trip, explained that they were not going for the purpose of slaught- ering game, but will kill only rare specimens, that will be shipped east for scientific purposes.
 Mr. Karstens said last night that the young men had used excellent judgment in selecting their outfit. and had brought nothing that would really not be needed on the trip.
The Alaska citizen., 1914-08-10

Latest reports received from Europe last night by The Citi- zen, indicate that two land en- aaaements and a naval battle are to be expected soon.
 Forty thousand Austrian sol dlsrs arrived north of Basel, Switzerland, where they joined a large German army and a big battle is imminent.
 French and German troops are massine near Namur, Bel oium, which lies between lieoe and the French border, and it is expected that the victorious German troops that took Liese will attack them soon.
 From London comes the re- port that an important naval en- qaeement is expected soon.
 Germany is enthused with it's victories, and is determined to invade France. 1t seems that the contention between the French and the Germans is more exciting than the trouble be- tween Russia and Germany.
 Tho Belgium officials deny liege is captured.
 Holland may aid Germany.

NEW RESERVE
 BOARD TAKES
 OFFICE TODAY
CURRENCY REFORM OF COUN. TRY WILL SOON BE MADE
 EFFECTIVE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug g. All members of the newly formed federal reserve board, with the ex- ception of Commissioner Delano. are here and will take office to- morrow. Thus the new currency system of the United States is about to be made effective.
 The new currency system is the greatest financial reform ever in troduced in the United States, and has the support of the bankers of the country, though at first they opposed it until they had studied its provisions thoroughly. It pro- vides for the establishment of feder- al reserve banks in various parts of the country, which will be under the control of the new reserve board.
 The new system was one of the pet policies of President Wilson. who planned it for the purpose of overcoming the power of Wall Street in the matter of causing financial panics for selfish pur- poses.
 Among the advantages of the new system will be the ability of farm CTS to secure loans on real estate to aid in the harvesting and hand ling of their crops. The reserve banks will tend to keep money in circulation when the Wall Street interests endeavor to corner the money market or depress the cir culation of money.
 It is understood that C. s. Ham, lin, of Massachusetts, will be the head of the new reserve board.

SOCIALISTS MAKE PROTEST.

NEW YORK, August 9. Seven thousand Socialists of this city held a mass meeting in Union Square this morning, and expressed their opposition to the shipment of food products from the United States to the countries that are now at war in Europe.
 The Housewives league has adopt ed resolutions urging all people to practice the most careful economy to prevent the price of foods from soaring too high. If people of the country are careful it is asserted the prices may be kept down. If prices rise too high, it is pointed out, the poor of the country will suffer.
