Passing sof the Oil Lamp.

The coal oil lamp business has
fallen into the sere and yellow leaf
and with but small chance of ever
coming back. The comparatively few
styles and kinds that still sell are the
cheap glass lamps with corresponding
shades and burners, such as vet find q
place in the lonely isolated farm
house. Scarce a town now so small
and unprogressive in the West and
South that has not its electric light
plant. sometimes privately owned,
more often a public utility.
So, too growing number of farm
houses tap the nearest interrurban
trolley wire or draw their illumina-
ton from the neighboring town. So
the sale of electric light fixtures has
more than made up the loss in the
coal oil lamp business.
Watts and amperes and volts are
household words to those retail deal
ers who once knew only of wicks,
burners, and shades. Lanterns are
sharing the fate of lamps, for fash
lights are spelling the disuse Of the
ancient "1anthorn" that goes back to
medieval times.-New York Times.

One of the most important instru
ments used on warship is the range
finder, for without this instrument 1t
Is practically impossible to aim the
guns accurately without drst incurring
serious delay in getting the range
by trial shots.
Range finders all work on much the
same principle, images of the ship or
other object sighted OIL being received
through the two object glasses. one
located near each end and oe the side
of the tube. being reflected and refract-
ed by system Of mirrors and prisms
SO that both are brought TO the eye Of
the observer, who looks through the
eyepiece located at the middle of the
tube and on the opposite from the OBJ
ject glasses.
The right hand object glass transmits
only the upper half of the object sight
ed on and the left hand object glass
the lower half. When sighting on a
ship, for example, the rigging and fun
nels will appear to be offset horizon
tally from the lower part of the ship.
