facilities for transportation by land,
we should be able to utilize promptly
and to the fullest extent our means
Of transportation by water. And vet
so slight would be the relief even II

limit of its possibilities, that the
really telling arguments for the i'm

rest on the basis Of our general need
Of these added facilities rather than
on the possibility Of using them In On
emergency as substitute for land
transportation.

section.
With top for spring lambs advanc-
ed to the $40 mark, seconds also

was quoted by the dealers although
quotations were shifted on the best
handyweight ewes 25 cents, top for
this class being put at $7.25. The

CANDLE POWER.

Ako AeAI giving QudllueS OF the old
candle have been used as the basis of
measurement Of the illuminating
qualities Of both gas and electricity.
When gas came into general use as
an illuminant it was necessary that
some standard OF measurement be
ADOPTED, and. the theoretical value Of
a candle Of certain agreed specifica-
tfons being ascertained, this standard
was applied to gas burned at a pre-
scribed rate. and the gas was de-
scribed as being of so many candle
power. The same standard was later
applied to electric light
Changed conditions in the use Of
gas have rendeed the candle power
basis of measurement useless. A
quarter Of century ago gas was
valuable in proportion to its illumin-
attng quail titles, that is, in proportion
to the brightness Of the fame that
could be produced by burning gas at
q given rate In the open air The
open tip was the one invariably used.
No other was known. Today, for all
practical purposes it does not matter
whether gas burned under such con-
ditions has any illuminating power or
not. Today gas is used, not as an
lliumfnant, but as heating agent.
This is true even where gas is used
Tor illuminating purposes no less than
where It is used for cooking. The
reason for this is that those who use
gas for lighting have long since aban-
doned the open tip. and the mantle is
now in almost universal use. With a
modern gas burner equipped with a
mantle. and operating properly, the
flame of the burning gas is never
visible. What Is visible, and what
distributes light is the glow of a
mantle heated to incandescence. And
1t is the heat. and not the lighting
power Of the burning gas that causes
this tncandescence.
It ts obvious, therefore, that under
modern conditions. gas is valuable
for its heat producing qualities rather
than for it's lighting properties. In
other words. heat units should be sub
stftuted for candle power as the basis
OF measurement. And yet, plain az
this seems, it is doubtful If this
change In standards was ever brought
about without fight. Let it be pro-
posed to abandon the candle power
basis for that Of heat units, and some
patriot is sure to rise and declaim to
the effect that the corporate interests
are trying to put something over.
This Is happening in Chicago Just
now, as it has happened in Grand
Forks before. Under the present
ordinance the Chicago gas companies
are required to supply gas Of the can
die power which was needed years
ago when candle power in gas really
meant som eth1ng. In other words,
they are required to spend money to
incorporate in their gas certain ele-
mente which nobobdy wants, which
nobody can use, and which are there
fore total waste. Opponents of the
change to a modern basis are evf-
IDENTIFY oblfvtous of the fact that a
public service company has no
sources Of revenue other than the
price which it charges for it's product,
and that If the people insist on a. gas
company wasting money by putting
perfectly unnecessary things into the
gas, the people who buy the gas must
pay for the foolishness in the added
price charged.
