Layne encumbers much newspaper space listing natents

him and myself
LaYne tells you of the number of suits he has won but

ELECTRIC LIGHT BULBS.
Why the Delicate Filament Becomes
Heated to lncandescence.

In the bulb of the ordinary electric
lamp used chiefly for house light there
Is a thin filament of metal wound on
what is called an arbor.
This filament is so prepared that 1t
offers high resistance to the passage or
the current of electricity, and because
of this it is heated to incandescence
when a current passes through 1t. All
the air having been extracted from the
bulb in its making, this prevents the
metal from burning up, as it would DO
If oxygen were present.
Vegetable fiber was used for the hla-
ment of the first incandescent lamps.
The next development was the cellu-
lose process, which is still used in car
bon and metaliZed lamps, although a
number of processes are used now to
improve the fllament- The discovery
that tungsten metal could be used fol
this flament in incandescent lamps
was made as recently as 1906, and the
first tungsten lamp was made in this
country in 1907.
At first the tungsten filaments were
composed of what was called tungsten
paste that made an extremely fragile
wire. The new process now used pro
duces a strong wire under pressure
finer than the finest human hair. They

A SKELETON IN THE CLOSET
Tho Legend From Which the Well
Known Saying Was Taken.

The origin of that singular and wide
ly quoted saying, "a skeleton In the
closet" which Is found in almost every
language in Europe, is found in one or
those curious collections of stories that
have come down from the middle ages.
In one of these collections, compiled
by an unknown hand about the middle
of the tenth century, there Is story
OF a wealthy lady who, having secret
grief. confided 1t to a friend who was
apparently a perfectly happy woman.
She was the wife Of nobleman VINO
lived in his castle in the south or
France. She and her husband were
outwardly on the most loving terms.
Not a care cloud seemed to cast q
shadow on her path.
After hearing the story Of her aff1ict'
ed friend the noble lady took her by
the hand and led her to a secret cham

for him. Her friends helped her to
send work to Boyd. He found him
self hopeful, prosperous. happy.
One morning as he CHANGED to pass
the elegant home of the Maryins. he
viewed a scene that at once troubled
him. Mr.. Marvin was just leaving
the house. He came down the steps
with an angry face, evidently greatly
disturbed. He was a handsome man,
but his features seemed to show
traces OF dissipation. Pretty Mrs.
Marvin stood within the vestibule, one
hand extended as II appealing to him
to return. Then as her husband
swung away she crouched back, COW
ering her face with her hands as IL
in dire distress.
Trouble! Oh. hope not, though 1t
seems So" reflected Boyd, sorely dis
turbed on account of his coed, kind
friend. Then his thoughts were abb
ruptly disturbed as a friendly hand
touched his shoulder.
Hello, Boyd. what you doing in
this aristocratic quarter" hailed his
challenger. whom he recognized as an
old-time friend.

in the neighborhood," explained Boyd.

"Oh. YES. Mrs. Marvin has taken q

husband who just walked away? A

All this was a revelation to loyal
Roslyn Boyd and he was deeply
grieved. Mrs. Marvin called him In
a day or two later to see about en-
iarging some family pictures. He
fancied he could trace a repressed
sorrow in her manner. the lines OF
care about her finely-chiseled lips.
However, he dared not breach the
