EDISON DAY CELEBRATED

October 81 was celebrated as Edison
Day so called in honor Of the anniver-
sary Of the invention of the electric light.
For number of years this day has been
known as Edison Day, and has been appro-
priately celebrated by the great electric
light corporations of the country.
The electric light is universally acknowl-
edged to be one Of the greatest single
achievements in the history Of invention.
Strangely, however, it is not regarded by
the great "wizard" as his favorite. In a
recent interview he is said to have shown
Partially to the photograph, with it's

York, on the evening Of Edison Day, con-
ferred the degree of Doctor of Laws upon
the inventor by long-distance telephone.
This is the first time such degree has ever
been bestowed in this manner.

AMERICA BECOMING PRODIGAL. AS
RESULT OF WAR PROFITS

Won Engleken, director Of the mint at
Washington, has declared in an interview
that the golden stream Of wealth coming
from Europe to this country has created a
spirit of wastefulness He explained that
the export trade brings an unprecedented
quantity Of gold.
There is such a vast demand for goods
and prices have risen responsively. More
workers than heretofore are employed, and
they are receiving larger wages While
these workers supply the goods, their
wages, drawn from the immense store Of
gold, buy more goods than before, thus
helping swell the abnormal demand and
the consequent price increases.
He stated that the United States is nor
mally borrowing nation, and that, con-

shown by the children in their work; ;
third, you observe the order and quiet
discipline prevailing everywhere.
Zion Schools have now completed
their first months work and entered
upon the second.
The children and teachers are proud
of the fact that on Friday, the closing
day of the first month, three grades
were banner rooms, every scholar wear
ing Zion button.
1t is now real work, not saying that
there has not been real work from the
beginning; but every thing is now we'll
organized and excellent results are be-
ing achieved.
Miss Thompson, the Principal, in
forms us that certain children who al
ways felt an aversion to work in the
public schools, are now taking an in
tense interest. One lad the other day,
who had always disliked school, came
to her and said: "Why, Miss Thompson,
who would have thought that Zion
Schools could be so NICE"
The teachers report that the children
are taking a very great interest in study
ing the Bible and that they especially
like that part of their work.
1t would have done your heart good,
if you could have been with us the other
day and seen little fellow arise, when
called upon, and readily repeat the
books of the Bible. We will guarantee
that many of these children will know
more in six months time of the general
outline of the Scriptures and be able to
answer more questions about the Bible,
than nine-tenths of the older people.
AS it was our purpose, in visiting the
College Building, to take miscellaneous
notes, we will close with relating little
incident which occurred the other day
and which was rather amusing. A
teacher was earnestly endeavoring to
impress upon her class the nature of
fractions. To illustrate her point, she
used this smile. "Now we will suppose
there are five brothers in a family
named Fifth. There would be First
Fifth, Second Fifth, Third Fifth,
Fourth Fifth, and Fifth Fifth. Then
supposing First Fifth should meet Sec
ond Fifth and say: why good morning
Mr.. Second Fifth where are our other
brothers, Third, Fourth and Fifth
Fifths?'" Just then little lad raised
his hand. "What is it?" asked the
teacher, "Should have said, Peace to
thee" said he very nicely and respect
fully.

SCENES ILLUSTRATING THE LIFE
AND MIRACLES OF CHRIST

On Lords Day evening, October 22nd,
an illustrated stereopticon lecture was
given in Shiloh Tabernacle by Deacon
Schmalfuss, showing James Tissot's re-
markable series of pictures depicting the
life of Christ.
Tissot the French artist, whose pro-
auctions have gained worldwide &C.
lebrity during recent years, firmly be-
lieved that his pictures were divinely in
spired and that God opened his under
standing when painting the humble
scenes surrounding the Savior's life.
His paintings were produced in soil
tude, the artist deliberately withdrawing
to remote parts of France, away from
the haunts of men in order that nothing
might interfere with his work. In exc
cution, his pictures show a radical de-
parture from those of other artists and
convey an impression of vivid reality.
Those who attended the service on
Lords Day evening will not soon forget
the miracle at the marriage in Cana of
Galilee; the expression on the face of
the child Jesus as he sat, among the doc
tors of the law at the age of twelve; the
vivid portrayal of the temptations in
the wilderness, or the look of utter physi-
cal exhaustion on the face of the Christ
as the angels appeared and ministered
unto him. But among the most remark
able pictures were those showing the
many miracles of healing performed
during the ministry of Christ.
Apostle Taylor in pronouncing the
benediction thanked God that people liv-
ing in Zion had with their own eyes been
enabled to see wonderful miracles of
healing performed in their midst, and
that Jesus Christ was just the same to-
day.

and reads his mail. After a man has
read several dozen letters, before start
ing in to dictate replies, he forgets many
points, and it becomes necessary to
glance over the letters the second time
in order to refresh his memory. He is
thus liable to omit certain points of i'm
portance. But if he has debating ma
chine at hand, he merely turns to it,
while all the contents of letter are
fresh in his mind and dictates an an
swer. The matter is thus quickly dis
posed of and out Of the way.
When debating, the operator starts
the machine by pressing an air valve
and speaks into a recorder. The die
tation is recorded on a wax cylinder, the
same as in making records for phono-
graph. If someone desires to speak to
him while he is debating, he presses an
automatic stop at the side of the re-
corder, which stops the machine, the
cylinder ceasing to revolve. When
ready to resume, he lets the automatic
stop spring back, when the machine
again starts. The record is therefore
unbroken, no matter how many times he
is interrupted.
When he is through with his morn
ings dictation, the machine, which is on
rollers, is taken to the desk of the typist,
who places tubes in her ears and starts
the machine by placing her foot on a
lever under her desk. After listening
to a sentence, she merely lifts her foot,
when the machine stops and she has
time to typewrite it. Again pressing
the lever, she takes the next sentence
and so on.
If unable to catch sentence she can
have the machine repeat it as often as
desired.
In addition to the Debating machine
there is another one for shaving records,
this machine being entirely separate.
About twenty ordinary business let
tiers can be recorded on the wax cylinder
of the debating machine, before it is
filled, a sliding scale indicating just how
far each letter extends. After the let
tiers are typewriter, the cylinder is
shaved, when it is again perfectly
smooth and ready to be reflled. About
one hundred records can be shaved off
cylinder, before it is discarded.
On the sliding scale, previously re-
ferred to, the operator in debating, can
indicate to the typist how many copies
of letter he desires; also whether or
not it is rush, or whether anything is
to be enclosed with it. A check mark
within a certain space shows that a
correction in diction follows the letter
on the record.
Debating machines are now used in
most large up-to-date offices, especially
in those handling tremendous amount
of correspondence.

WORST COAL SHORTAGE IN YEARS

1t is predicted by coal experts, that Chi
cago will be smoker than Pittsburg be-
fore spring. This will be caused by the
fact, that the people will resort to the use
OF soft coal in the face of the scarcity and
high price of hard coal.
1t is claimed that the strangest coal sit
uation in the history of the country now
confronts dealers and consumers. Ex-
perts are already beginning to talk of ask
ing Congress for an embargo of coal ship
ments to Europe and South America.
They say that a coal famine is already here
IN anthracite and the smokeless" varie-
ties, and it is possible that soft coal may
be included later.
In the mines around Pittsburg, bituo-
minous coal is now 1886 ton higher than
the customary price.
There is plenty of coal in the mines,
but there is shortage of cars to carry it.
There is also a great scarcity of labor in
the mining regions. Some lake vessels,
which heretofore have carried large GUAM
titles of coal, have been chartered by the
Steel Corporation.
1t is claimed that Chicago has on hand
at present in the yards and on the docks
six week s supply of anthracite coal, and
unless the outgo on the Eastern coast is
halted it is feared there will be dearth
before spring.
A large part of the scarcity is due to the
panic on the part of factory owners and
other persons in charge of large institu-
tions, who are making wild scramble to
lay in a supply before the intensely cold

ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM, INBOUND.
ING LARGEST IRRIGATION RESER-
VOIR IN WORLD, DEDICATED

The Elephant Butte dam, completed re-
Gently at cost Of S., 100000, and intended
to impound the largest artificial body of
water in the world, was dedicated at Ele-
plant Butte, New Mexico, on October 10.
This immense dam consists of mass Of
concrete and steel, thrown across the Rio
Grande river on the desert Of New Mexico,
at point where great rock, shaped like
a gigantic elephant, seems to drink from
the waters of the stream.
The artificial lake stores the melted
SHOWS of the Colorado and New Mexican
mountain ranges, and these waters are al
lowed to flow through the spillways of the
dam when the land needs moisture.
The work of boring, surveying, etc., be-
gan in 1904. Active construction, how
ever, did not start until July, 1910.
It is claimed that approximately 100000
acres will be reclaimed by this dam.
The maximum depth of water near the
dam is 1913 feet; the average depth of water
is &c feet The average width of the
reservoir is 134 miles, and it's length is rs
miles. 1t has 200 miles of shore line.
The dam is 318 feet high, from
foundation to top of parapet wall. 1t is
1,674 feet long at the top, and contains GIG
CUBIC yards of concrete. There is road
