Llnhtlnn Methods Improved.

The great development of lighting
within the last ten years is made ap-
probable only when the results are
shown in figures. 1t is well-known
the introduction Of the metal filament
lamps has reduced the consump-
ton of current for a given amount Of
light to one-half or one-third of what
ii was before, but there has been also
a great Improvement in the durability
of the new lamp. A French authority,
A. Boutaric, has investigated the rec
ords Of 1924 lamps in 20 establish
ments. In 1908, only half of the metal
filament lamps withstood as much as
200 hours of usage, but in 1914 not less
than 90 per cent endured for that
length of time, and the percentage of
those having a life Of 1000 hours had
risen from 31.5 to so. Besides their
carbon lamps. the French were max
Ing 30,000,000 metal filament lamps
yearly as the war began, the prospect
being a large increase on the return
OF peace.

Senator Harry Lane,
OF Wilful ~ Who
Opposed War, Dies
Had Been Suffering from Nerv'
GUS Disorder; Was Known
for Eccentricitics

San Francisco, May 24.-United
States Senator Harry Lane, of Oregon.
died here last night. Although the
Senator. who was suffering from a
nervous disorder and high blood pres
sure, had been sinking slowly since
Monday, he remained conscious TO
within a few hours Of the end.
Senator Lane was one of the "wiiful
twelve" who opposed the war declara-
tion against Germany. In his home
state, oregon, they talked OF recall
until it was found to be unconstitu-
tional
Throughout his political career he
was regarded as eccentric but nom
est" Born in Portland in 1900. he was
graduated from Willamette University
in 1876 and thereafter practised medi-
cine until in 1887 he was made
superintendent of the State Hospital
for the Insane. He was elected Mayor
of Portland in 1905. was reelected and
refused a third term. Running as
Democratic candidate for the Senate
in 1912, he was elected easily Tor the
term ending March 3, 1919.
In the Senate he occasionally IN
dulged in the spectacular. He had
habit of attacking the firm Of J. r.
Morgan, urged that all the Indians IN
the country be organized for military
service on the Mexican border. and an
nounced that Japanese spies were map
ping the Portland waterworks.
Just before he first entered the Sem
ate chamber he is said to have re-
marked: II know all about those fell
lows-I used to run an insane asylum"

NJ "eiI ht numerous members OF Par-
lament. All the way from Brest, at
lie Mans, Laval. Rennes and Chartres
crowds filed the stations. and NJ. yivi.
ami and Marshal Joffre received depu.
tations of the provincial authorities.
After the official reception was over
NJ. Viviani. discussing his departure
from Washington. said:' IL told Presi.
dent Wilson how deeply touched was
by the manifestations of the sympathy
of the American people. The Presi-
dent replied simply, we are brothers
iii the sane cause"
Last Talk with Wilson
The steamer on which the mission
returned changed her course shortly
before reaching port, owing to the re-
ported presence of German submarines
in the vicinity, according to the
Temps to-day. The warning, says the
newspaper, was received off Ushant
when the wireless reported that one or
two German submarines had succeed.
ed in sinking three cargo steamers in
the same day in the locality in ques.
tion.
In spite of their crowded days in
America, filed with travelling, speech
making, banquets and other festivities
the French commissioners showed little
sign Of fatigue when they started on
their voyage home. The first morning
out, Minister Of Justice Viviani exer-
cised by climbing in the rigging,
swinging from deck to deck like a can
didate for athletic honors. Marshal
Joifre took his exercise in answering
23o of the 800 unanswered letters
which were brought aboard by his aid,
Lieutenant Francois de Tessan. NJ.
Viviani and Marshal Joffre received
many thousands Of letters from Amer
leans and regretted very much that it
was impossible for them TO answer all,
particularly those from children. They
said they had acknowledged all COM
munications containing money, the
total amount received for various char
tiles amounting to about 10000
francs.
Results Satisfactory
All the members of the mission have
returned to France satisfied with the
results Of their trip. They were de-
lighted with the courtesy of the Pres
ident, tho warmth of the public recep-
tion and the good will toward France
shown wherever they went. They
brought away with them the conviction
that America would play n part in the
war commensurate with her greatness.
President Wilson, in saying goodby,
gave NJ. Viviani a cordial letter. to
President Poincare, of considerable
length. covering three pages written
in the Presidents rather close hand.
Marshal Joffre has brought with him
certain memoranda OF things agreed
upon, including the early cooperation
of the United States on the Western
front. which has been announced in
part in America since the commission
left.
Admiral Chocheprat has a clear
working understanding of American
naval purposes, and Marquis de Cham
hrun, Of the Foreign Affairs Commit
tec of the Chamber OF Deputies, has
made a special study of Americas re-
lation to international political prob
lens. He will tell what he has learned
at special meeting Of the Chamber
committee.

Mission Acknowledges Tumutuous Greeting
in French Capital

Paris, May 24.-Enormous crowds
cheering tumultuously, welcomed the

Malvy and other members of the Cab
met were at the station to welcome
the envoys.
"Why, this is like New York. said
Marshal Jofre, as the automobiles
which conveyed the members OF the
mission from the station were halted
on account of the density of the cheer
ing crowd. The police lines were
broken through by the throngs OF
spectators. who surrounded the auto
mobiles, waving flags and handker-
chiefs.
Premier Ribot congratulated the
members Of the mission upon the re-
suits Of their trip to America, as did
the other Cabinet members. Various

"As an Italian. sailor and prince,
| consider il happy omen that | and
my colleagues. who have been chosen
by the government from among the
worthiest, should be the symbols of
the folflment of a sincere aspiration
OF ours. | rejoice that Italy is now
united in a brotherhood of arms with
the American people and that it will
always in the future be united with
them by common ideals for the carry
