CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood dis
ease as scrofula or rheumatism. It
may be relieved, but it cannot be
removed by simply local treatment.
It breaks down the general health,
weakens the lung tissues, and leads
to consumption.

for this disease. It purifes the

UNDER THE BOSPHORUS

Darius, the Persian, was the first to
establish a dry route over the Bosphor-
us. In 513 b. G. he spanned il with a
pontoon bridge and moved across it an
army of zoe, 900 with which he propos-
ed to punish the Scythian rebels to the
North.
Since that event the Bosphorus has
remained a coveted %plaything for the
rising and ebbing tide of military en-
pires. 1t is the nearest thing to a land
connection between the continents
which have played the greatest roles
trance to the Black sea and absolutely
bars Russia's acCess to southern wa.
ters. BY agreement of the European
powers before the present breach no
war vessel other than that II Turkey
could pass the narrpws without Turk
ish consent,
And now, continuing the military
lC-ol VI tIt LoGBii'l No., w lAN'N -
Quely begun by the Persian %conqueror,
the Turks propose to tunnel the
straits. The project is regarded
entirely feasible fro;l ar engineering
standpoint. The channel is approx
mately 5000 feet wide and 100 feet
deep. Such dimensions present no dis
enlargement to the modern civil en-
gineer.
A tunnel under the Bosphorus would
serve as a splendid thoroughfare for
the quick movement Of troops and sup
plies either in retreat or for the pur-
pose Of reinforcement. AS a means Of
retreat it would spare an army either
from capture OF destruction in attempt
ing to o the channel under fire. As
a means Of invasion it would be peril
Gus to the point of utter uselessness.
1t may be suggested that the pres
ent is a rather delicate time for the
Turks to be considering the tunneling
project. So %stupendous a piece Of en-
cheering will require at least a few
years for completion. In all %probabil-
ity the great war would be over before
the tunnel could be completed. Need
less to say the settlement of the con
fict will be full of moment to the
! Turks. In other words, their posses
sion of the B%osphorus hangs in the
balance.

better lighted home than Egyptian
KING Of a century ago. he is also profit
ing from the fact that the cost of cleo.
tric lighting per family has been lower
ed about one-third.
What the electric light has done for
the home is reflected in the change in
the cost of street lighting during a SIM
liar period of time. One hundred
years ago the city of Philadelphia
paid 100000 a year, about 33 cents
per capita. The approximate cost per
1000 candle-hours was 81 cents. But
again this was at n time when the
sperm oil street lamp was the only
type available and the street illumin-
alton Of a hundred years ago is not
comparable with even the gas lighted
streets of a few years ago. With the
growth Of the city electric arc lamps
appeared, and it was not long after
this that Edison began experimenting
with bamboo and paper fiber as a fila
ment for his first incandescent lamp.
The modern Mazda lamp, a more high
ly perfected type of Edison lamp. is
now rapidly superseding the older sys-
TEN of arc lighting. Philadelphia with
the modern system of lighting its
streets today pays nearly two and one
half million dollars annually for cleo
tricity, or about $l.35 per capita. The
cost per 1000 candle hours, however,
has dropped 81 cents while the popu-
lation of the city has increased to
thirty times its size a century ago and
the amount of street lighting has in
creased 1000 times.
In view of the cheapness of elec-
tricity for lighting the home and the
present highly efficient Mazda lamp, il
is believed that further lowering Of
electric rates and Improvement of
lamps will go on slowly. 1t may be
prophosied that in the future changes
in electric lighting in the home will in
volyc Improvement on the methods Of
using the light rather than lowering its
price.

THE COST OF ILLUMINATION A
CENTURY AGO

One hundred years ago the sperm
whale furnished nearly all of the illum-
mating oil used in the average house
hold. Hundreds of whaling vessels
laden with cargOes Of sperm oil that
piled up vast fortunes for their owners.
But contrary to the popular idea. tn"
cost of Illuminating the home in those
days with the dim glimmer of a smelly
sperm oil lamp or tallow candles was
twenty-five times as costly as the cleo
trio lamp today, while the brilliancy
of illumination found in any modern
town or hamlet was impossible at any
price.
Kerosene in its refined and CONNER
cial form first came into use about the
middle of the last century. The prlmi-
tive candle and sperm oil lamp with its
smoky flame gave way to the new pc
troleum product. The kerosene fame
was cleaner and brighter than that of
the sperm oil and less distasteful to
the nostrils in it's raw state. The use
of kerosene grew steadily and it sold
readily at 90 cents a gallon, a price
which puts to shame even the highest
prices charged for gasoline today.
The cost of 1000 ca~ndle-hours of
light a century ago was about $3.50
when the candle and sperm oil lamp
were the only available illuminants.
The coming Of kerosene cut the cost
to $500, and along toward the latter
half of the nineteenth century the
same amount could be purchased for
a dollar. Competition between kero-
enc and gas further reduced the cost
until in the last quarter of a century
a thousand candle-hours cost less than
so cents. With the present efficiency
of the Mazda lamp the cost of the
same unit is about 10 cents, or one
t~wenty-ffth of the original cost a cen
fury ago.
How this reduction in the cost OF a
household necessity has been turned
to improve conditions Of living is
shown in the tendencies of the times, a
tendency to use more light in the
home, the Office and the factory. 1t is
estimated that the average household
today receives Is times as much light
AS the homes of a century ago. No
other single necessity of the house
hold has been so cheapened and at
the same time improved as electric
light. At the same time that the mod
ern householder is today living in a

TIGER COACHES
AIM TO BUILD
STRONG OFFENCE
Varsity Scores Twice on
Strong Scrub-Ames In
at Quarterback

Princeton, n. J., Oct 1.-THE pres
emit problem before the Princeton
coaches seems to be the development
of a strong offensive. To this end
Speedy Rush put the varsity through
q full hour Of grilling scrimmage this
afternoon against the second team.
Such q strong combination was lined
up against the first eleven that it was
able to score only twice. Allan Brown
was responsible for both the tallies'
He and Dave Tibbott were the half
backs to-day, the latter having been
put In for Eberstadt, who went back
to the second team.
Jack Eddy was not in uniform, be-
ing detained by his engineering work,
and Ames took his place at quarter
back. Msthiasen played fullback on
the varsity. On the defence Prince
ton is far better right now than on the
offence. The line played stubbornly
last Saturday against the heavy Tufts
backs and practically no gains were
made BY straight rushing.
ne CeHtre lTlO, CdpbalH hosB, NSh
merit and Nourse, are unusually good.
Mclean Is a frst-class tackle. but
Latrobe lacks experience. Taken alto
gether, they make formidable COM
bination. There is wealth of good
backfeld material, and from now on
the offence should show improvement,
as It IL the centre Of the coaches at
tention.
Bear" Funk played his usual slash
ing fighting game at end. and It looks
as though he can't be kept off the
varsity. This position Is unfamiliar
70 him, but he Is natural football
player, and follows the ball Ike a
hound, while his $50 pounds are in his
favor.
Cyril Haas Is back in harness, but
has not yet been allowed to scrimmage.
Moore will be on the side lines for at
least a week longer. These men, with
Halsey, just about constitute the In
iured list

CORNELL VARSITY HAS
BATTLE WITH SCRUB

Ithaca, n. Y, Oct. l7.-Shiverick was
not in to-day's scrimmsge between the
varsity and the seconds, and Bretz,
who filled his place, proved one OF the
sensations Of the work. He made both
Of the touchdowns. To add TO the first
teams scoring Benedict came through
with a pretty field goal toward the end
of the practice, making the total score
II to o.
Despite his injured leg, lander held
down one end. Ryerson had a needed
rest, Ellsworth taking his. place and
doing we'll. A new fullback is being
tried out in Fisher, the guard, who
last Saturday fell on a blocked punt
behind Williams's goal line. Fisher
relieved Captain Mueller to-day and
did some good work.
The other varsity change for the
day was Taylor for Paul Miller at
guard. Ray Tiller came out for the
first time in toys and will get into
scrimmage the end Of the week.
