STANDARD IS FIXED BY U. S.
Federal Tests of Electric Lamps Gov.
ern Manufacturers and Other
Purchasers.

Uncle Sam buys 1,250,000 electric
lamps every year and to be sure that
he gets his moneys worth he has them
all tested and inspected by the bureau
of standards, department Of commerce,
The specifications under which these
lamps are tested are published by the
bureau and are recognized as stand
ard by the manufacturers as we'll as
by the government. They are used
also by many other purchasers OF
lamps.
The lamps are first inspected for
mechanical and physical defects, this
being done at the factory by bureau
inspectors. Representative samples
are selected and sent to the bureau,
where they are burned on life test at
a specified efficiency, at which they
must give a certain number of hours
Of life, depending upon the kind of
lamp. About five thousand lamps are
thus burned on test each year.
For this test great care must be
taken in the measurement Of the
lamps and in the adjustment and regu.
lation Of the life-test voltage.

GAIN IN DYEsTUFF OUTPUT
Census Figures Show Increase of AT
Per Cent in Manufacture in the
United States.

Preliminary figures Of the 1914 cen
sus of manufactures announced by the
department of commerce show an in
crease of S2,299,2S1 or AT per cent in
the manufacture Of dy~estuffs. The to.
tai increase over the 1909 figures of
the dyestuff and extract industry was
S4,552,446 or 27.1 per cent, with 1873
establishments operating in 1914, nine
more than when the 1909 census was
taken. Slight changes are expected
to be made in these figures by the
final report.
Among the general increase is re.
corded a $50 per cent jump in NOR
dants, assistants and sizes, $1,767,424
worth above the 1909 output; and a
s719,750 or 10.1 per cent increase in
tanning materials. The total value Of
the 1914 products was S21 BAL 1872, in
GLIDING dyestuffs valued at $~7,l1S,528,
tanning materials valued at $7,S40,057,
mordants, assistants and sizes valued

Uncle Sam Sets Example
in Safety-First Crusade

Uncle Sam, through the medium OF
a safety-irst special train, is showing
the people of the country how the
various departments of the govern
ment are guarding their lives and
property. Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane is responsible Tor
the unique exhibit.
The train, which is composed OF
twelve steel cars, carries exhibits OF
apparatus used by the various fed
eral bureaus, and each of the bureaus
has representatives on the train to
give motion-picture lectures depicting
the part they are p'"Jing in the safety
first movement.
The bureau of mines, department OF
the interior, shows the modern life
saving apparatus which it has been
responsible for introducing in the
mines of the country. This bureau has
as one of it's duties the safeguarding
Of the lives Of more than a million
men who work under the ground. The
statistics gathered by the bureau
show that since it was created in l9lO
there has been a steady decrease in
the death rate among the men, the
saving of life each year amounting to
between 500 and 1000 over previous
years. The bureau is also charged
with the development Of more efficient
methods of mining and the more eftl-
cient use of minerals. Some time ago
it developed a new process for the
manufacture of radium from carnotite
ore, which reduces the cost of making
radium to such a point that it Is
thought hospitals can afford to pur-
chase a supply for medical uses. An
exhibit of the wonderful radium is
shown on the train.
The reclamation service, depart
ment of the interior, which has charge
of the reclamation of 100000 acres
of land in the great American desert,
shows by colored transparencies what
it is doing toward making homes for
millions of people.
An interesting feature outSlue VI
safety first is the exhibit Of the ma
tional parks service Of the interior de-
partment. In one of the cars is a pic
ture gallery, large transparencies in
rich color showing the range and
magnifcence Of the Incompatible
n of the national parks.
The forest service and the weather
bureau of the department of agricul-
ture, the coast guard service and the
public health service Of the depart
ment Of the treasury, the war and the
navy departments. the American Red
Cross society and the interstate COM
uerce commission are all represented
by interesting displays.

hamadan In History.

Hamadan seems to be certainly the Ekbatana, the summer residence of the ancient Persian kings. where Alexan. der the Great stored his enormous loot from Persia, estimated at over Al O0O.- OOO But there is typographical difA- culty about identifying 1t with the ear Her and still more interesting Ekbata- ma described by Herodotus. the city where the first Median king, Deioces, realized the ideal of royal isolation by shutting himself up in a palace on top of a hill, surrounded by seven fortified circles of different colors descending the slopes in order and allowing the in- habitants of these to communicate with him only by writing. Either this story is myth or the Ekbatana of Herodotus is to be found on a hill be- tween Hamadan and Tabriz.-London Chronicle.

lronino the IabIecloth.

A tablecloth should be pulled into shape before being ironed. After it is
 pulled into shape, fold it together lengthwise through the middle, so that the wrong side will be outside; then
 turn back the edges at each side so that the cloth is in four long folds, each folti of the same width. The outer folds will now be right side out. Iron these two outer folds, then turn them inside and iron the two inner folds that arc
 now outside and are the right side Of the tablec1oth. When the four folds are thus finished the long length can be doubled back and forward the de sired width, but the crosswise folds should not be ironed in. Papers can be
 placed where the tablecloth hangs over
 on the floor from the ironing board. X little practice will soon make you per | feet. The old fashioned way was to first iron tablecloth on the wrong side. but the tablecloths coming under
 my observation that look the best are
 ironed in the manner above described.-

|ZUGG MAKING BORINGS
 FOR JUNEAU BRIDGE

Engineer John Zugg, of the Alaska Road Commission, who has been in Valdez all winter is now in Juneau for the purpose of making borings on the site of the proposed Juneau-Doug- las bridge so that plans and speci- fications for the structure may be prepared. It is planned by the road commissioners to be in readiness to build the bridge whenever there may be available funds and for that req son all the preliminary work will be done immediately.
 Mr. Zug will remain at Juneau and in this vicinity, for several weeks probably until the arrival of Col. W. P. Richardson, head of the commis- sion. Col. Richardson is expected here about the middle of May.
 MT. Zugg for many years was in charge of the commissions work in the Fairbanks region. Last year he devoted his time to the. commissions work along the coast.

To Calrulza, Conuresses.


 To determine the years covered by . given congress double the number of the congress and add the product to C789 The result will be the year ip which the congress closed. Take, for example. the Thirty-fifth congress-. Doubling 1t gives us seventy; add 1732 and we have 1859, the year in which. on March 4, the Thirty-ffth congress closed. To find the number of con- gross sitting in any year subtract 1789 from the year. If the result is an even number half that number will give the rongress of which the year ill question saw the close. If the result is an odd number add one. and half the result will give the congress in which the year in question was the first year. Take. again, the congress sitting in 1858. Subtract l7S9 from 1858 and the result is sixty-nine. Add one. making seventy, and divide by two, showing that the Thirty first congress was hold ing its first regular session in that year. The year 17S0 is the basic num- Der. because that was the year in which the First congress under the constitution convened. = Philadelphia I;PreSS.

An Ideal island.

The island of Ascension, in the At. lantic, belonging to Great Britain, is unique in many respects. There Is no private property fin land, no rents. no taxes and no use for money. The flocks and herds are public property. and the meat is issued as rations. So are the vegetables grown on the farms. When an island fisherman makes a catch he brings it to the guardroom. whence it Is issued by the sergeant ma jor. Practically the entire population are sailors. and they work at most of the common trades. The climate is al most perfect. The island is s by t miles in size and has population of about 45O. It is 25O miles northward of St. Helena and is governed by a captain appointed from the British navy.
