BAY STATE DENIS WITHOUT TICKET
 FOR PRIMARIES
Candidate For Governor Only One to Qualify
 for a Place.

Boston, Mass. Sept. 22.-One of the most peculiar political campaigns in the history of Massachusetts was virtually closed today, preliminary to the primary election to be held next Tuesday for the selection of candidates for governor and other state officials to be voted for at the annual elec- tion in November.
 For the first time in the history of the Massachusetts Democracy the party is without state ticket in the primaries. Only one Democrat-Fred- erick w. Mansfield, candidate for gov- enor-succeeded in qualifying for a place on the primary ballot prior to the expiration of the time allowed for the filing of nomination papers with the secretary of state. All of the oth- CT democratic candidates for state Of fices failed of place on the ballot be- cause the necessary number of sigma lures were not filed for them.
 As a result nothing but a sticker campaign will prevent the Republican party from winning all the state of fices save the governorship by default. The Democrats will have to use stick CTS in the primary. They must get at least 250 sticker votes in each of at least four counties. Under recent law passed by the legislature they can not use the word Democrats" on nomination papers.
 The virtual collapse of the state democracy is generally attributed to a deep seated feeling of hostility. on the part of many of the democratic lead CTS towards Frederick w. Mansfield, candidate for the gubernatorial nomi- nation. MT. Mansfield was the stand ard bearer of the democracy last year. He insisted on running again this year. Officials of the Democratic state committee and other leaders of the party were of the opinion that, since he was defeated by plurality of over 46, 900 by Governor Mccall last fall, MT. Mansfield could not be elected this year, although some of them con- ceded that he was probably strong enough with organized labor and others to capture the Demofratic nomination at the primaries. For this reason, those who were approached with a suggestion that they try for the nomination against MT. Mansfield declined to enter into the race.
 It is understood that the Democratic state committee is ready to cooperate with MT. Mansfield in securing the lnomination of the remainder of state ticket by the use of stickers and will work for the success of his list of candidates.
 Governor Mccall is to be opposed for the Republican nomination for a third term by Grafton D. Cushing former lieutenant governor, who was an unsuccessful candidate for the head of the Republican ticket last year.

The Light of the Firefly

lon.
 "The intensity of the insects light lis remarkable. It varies greatly, but the most reliable tests made on tho in- sects frequenting Washington, D. C., place the candle-power of the glow at 1-50,000 and that of the flash at 1-400 Altho this seems small amount, in comparison with the size of the insect, it is truly surprizing.
 "There are practically no invisible rays in the firefly's light, and hence no heat and remarkable efficiency. The efficiency of Photuris has been rated from 90 per cent to 96.5 per cent, while the efficiency of a carbon glow lamp is but GA per cent, and the most produced by man are but 4 per cent efficient. Nothing is known about the energy input of the insect, but the resulting light is the most efficient known to science. To supply an equal l amount of light from the same illumi- mated area in the laboratory would re- quire a temperature of 2,000 degree fahrenheit.
 "If the insect is forced by stimula- tion to keep flashing continuously, life soon becomes extinct, apparently from exhaustion. This indicates that the energy input is considerable on the part of the insect; it is also possible that there may be some reservoir of stored-up light energy which can not be replenished indefinitely.
 "There is apparently absolutely no l radiation of heat during the flashing, as measured by the most accurate means obtainable, which practically preclude the possibility of error. No infra-red rays are thrown off, for if there were, the insect would soon be desiccated by it's own heat. The body temperature of the photogenic seg- ments is higher, however, than the 1 temperature of other parts of the body.
 Popular opinion frequently to the contrary, the light of the firefly is connected in no way with any 'phos- phorescence' or 'x-rays.' It seems most presence of moisture, oxygen, and some unknown substance possibly a fat or an albuminoid, together with some form of oxidation taking place. Unless some startling and heretofore undiscovered edothermic action is go- ing on whereby flight is emitted, there seems to be no other possible explana- tion of the fluoresence. Some ob- servers have suggested phosphureted hydrogen or carbon to be oxidized while some think the light to be the result of the breaking down of some l nitrogenous substance to form crystal line urates. Every opinion is backed 1 by some evidence but none is based upon sufficient grounds to make it en- tirely plausible from every point of view so that the whole matter is still as much in doubt as ever."

Literary Digest)

Light is merely the luminous DOT tion of radiation that is responsible for various other effects, for instance,
 heat and chemical change. Man has
 never been able to produce luminous
 radiation without wasting large pro- portion of his energy on the other i kinds. For instance, less than half of one per cent of the radiation given out by a carbon glow-lamps is luminous. The economy that we have vainly striven to attain, however, has been practically reached by the firefly, over 96 per cent of whose radiation consists
 of light rays. Contrary to the opin-
 ion of many, this light appears to be
 due simply to oxidation, and is there fore an extremely slow form of com
 bustion, producing a minimum of heat
 and maximum of light and con-
 trolled by the insect probably through l its oxygen supply. The light is now 1 believed to be used in visual signals
 between the sexes, corresponding to l the sound signals of other insects Says a writer in The Journal of Hered- 1 ity Washington, August):
 "Through all of the light organs, fine tubes are found, connected with the main air system and evidently the pathway of oxygen. This would seem to indicate that oxidation is the source of the light If one part of the light organs is paralyzed by pressure l it will not flash but merely glows, while the other unparalyzed parts will go on flashing as usual.
 l "Between thelight organs and nerv- ous system intervenes what is called a lreflecting layer. This layer does not
 directly reflect, however, but rather diffuses thelight so as to make the en- tire abdomen appeear as tho glowing This layer may protect the nervous system from some possible bad ef- fleets of the direct light, and many think it serves still another purpose of being the storehouse for some sub-
 stance which plays an active part in
 the light production. Whether or not
 it contains the stored-up supply of OK. idizable material, however, must still
 remain in the realm of conjecture.
 "The photogenic property of the abdominal segments is independent o1 life, for if the organs are dried and ground to powder, light reappears un- der the influence of air and moisture
 "Often the photogenic properties may be observed in the eggs while they are still in the ovaries, and nearly all the larvae of the Illuminating spe- cies show flourescence. Does the in sect store up fuel in it's earlier stages | which gradually becomes exhausted l during the use of the light emitting | apparatus when adult? There is some slight evidence to show that this might
 be the case, but sufficient knowledge
 has not yet been gained to make it | possible to reach any definite conclus-

THEATRICAL GOSSIP
 FROM NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 22.-Further evi- dence that this is to be a musical comedy season in New York theatric- ; als coms in the form of an announce ment that Frank Pixley, who used to write good ones with Gustave Lu- .'ders, is to resume his calling of !. .ibrettist with Uda Waldlop as his Composer. These two have undertak
 en the work fmaking the comedy : "A Full House" over into musical play. The demand for musical come dies this season is calling lot of comedies from the shelves to be made over with music. Among them are t.1The Aviator" Excuse Me-" "The College Widow" and "A Full House." Arrangements have been concluded between Klaw and Erlanger and Geo. c. Tyller on one side and Arthur Hop Fkins on the other, whereby Mrs. Min ,,nie Maddern Fiske is to appear next month in a comedy by Phillip Moeller based on certain episodes in the life of George Sand, the novelist. The production will be made under the personal direction of MT. Hopkins. In ,the play will be introduced charac- ter representing the novelist at the beginning of the love offaire with AL fired De Lusset, the poet. Other char ,acters will represent Heine, Chopin, and Liszt. Mrs. Fiske declares the play offers her the greatest acting opportunities of her career. It is as yet unnamed.
 Humors current along Broadway for some time have finally been set at rest by the defitnite announcement that Raymond Hitchcock Las leased the Forty-fourth Street theater from the Shuberts. The house has been renamed Raymond Hitchcock's Forty fourth Street theatre and will be open ed under the new management next Monday night with "Hitchy-Koo."
 , One of the most elaborate motion picture productions that. has ever been offered is "Rasputin, the Black Monk" which is the current attrac- 'tion at the Park theatre. Montague
 Love, as the monk, gives a perform ance that makes the photoplay we'll worth seeing. By turns he is sinister. fascinating and even gives the charac-
 ter a semi-religious touch that quite
 lifts it above the usual plans of film
 ipersonations. Julia Dean, most
 notable actress, plays the leading fem mine role, that of a fascinated devotee
 of Rasputin. Florence Beresford, who
 bears a notable resemblance to the
 deposed czarina, also lends fine sup
 port to Montague Love.
 Coincident with the release of Folly
 of the Circus" throughout North Am
 erica, Margaret Mayo, its author and
 one of the most famous and success
 full of women rlay-wrights, announces
 her retirement from all active work in
 the +heater to devote all her time and
 energies in the future to the screen.
 Miss Mayo is the author of many
 plays. Four of them have been tre-
 mendous successes, not only in Am
 erica, but in foreign lands as well. Her greatest plays are "Polly of the Cir
 cus," now converted into photodrama; Baby Mine" and Irwin Beds," each of which is known to audiences in
 many co,' 'rie.
