FIashIamps Without Batteries.

A practicable tlashlamp without a
battery-elther primary or secondary
sounds almost too good 10 be true,
yet, according 10 Llndustrie Elec-
trique, the feat has been accomplished
ia Germany by utilizing a tiny mag
neto-generator driven by a spring and
clOckwork. The mechanism is provid-
ed with an escapement which insures
constant speed Of revolution for the
generator armature, and hence con-
slant voltage. Nothing (the Electrical
Review observes in noting this inter-
esting innovation) is said about the
initial cost of the apparatus. which
must be greater than that Of the bat
terry lamp; but by manufacturing in
great quantities It should be possible

SOME REMARKS FROM AUNTY


A couple Of decades hence, should
there by any pedestrians left to dodge
automobiles, they will no doubt have a
string Of eyes all around their heads.
What has become of the old-fash-
Toned woman who used TO start grind
ing coffee at 3 80 a. m.
We have looked in vain for the old
gentleman with the goat whiskers,
who used to eat peppermints in church.
A dog is known by the fights he's
been In.
What's become of the old-fashioned
man that used to polish his shoes with
stove backing just before church on
Sunday mornings?
Keep your credit good with your
grocer-he also sells gasoline.
What's going to become Of the livery
stable loafer2 There's no room for
him in the garages.
A gallon in the tank beats two in
the garage.
A writer of an article on how to
avoid hurry and worry advises us never
to start a second task till we have
finished the first. Very helpful to the
farmers wife with six children, for
instance!
A large part of the heartache and
disappointment connected with parent
hood comes from regarding a child not
as an individual with a right to live
his own life, make his mistakes and
profit by them, but as a choice personal
possession, whose chief duty is to Ere
fleet credit" on his parents.
Services done out of hard sense of
duty are not likely to benefit either the
giver or the receiver.-Farm Life.

Soma Climate.

That corner of Asia where the Turks
have been fighting the Russians and
the British comprises within a short
distance the most extraordinary
changes of temperature. The Russians
stormed Erzerum with the thermOme-
ter recording "a degrees of frost bare
ly 500 miles south the base of the Brit
ish Mesopotamia force on the Persian
gulf was situated, where $50 degrees
in the shade has been registered on
British warships. The interior of the
peninsula between the Persian gulf
and the Red sea is one of the few re-
gions Of the earth which remain terra
incognita, the terrific heat experienced
there keeping the most intrepid explOr-
er outside its 100000 square miles.
The severity of the winter in the neigh
borhOod of Erzerum results from
it's situation on an elevated plateau,
which is at an average height Of
5000 feet above sea level, and
this makes all the difference be-
tween it's climate and that of the
south of Italy, which is in the same
latitude. The French Riviera is 25C
miles nearer the Arctic than Erzerum
and the Cornish "Riviera" at least zoo
miles nearer the icy north, but Corn
wall gets the full benefit of the Gulf
stream, that marvellous hot water sys-
TEN Of the North Atlantic which saves
western Europe from the frigid tenn
peratures of central Asia and Labra-
dor, on the same parallels of latitude.

Riches in Tennessee Caves.

The development of two historic
caves. known as Arch cave and Bone
cave in Van Buren, county, Tennessee,
is now under way. The caves are esti-
mated TO contain from $4,000 to TO-
600 tons OF bat guanO, which is rich
in potash and ammonia, besides other
elements Of plant food. The under
ground area is about six miles. Mil
lions OF bats inhabited these caves for
centuries prior to the Civil war, when
they were driven Gun by the maaufac-
turers of powder. II is told thar when
Gen. John II. Morgan's detachment
which raided Nashville during the
Civil war became separated and was
hard pressed by superior federal forces
they concealed themselves in the Arch
cave for several days.

Why the Cat Was worshIped.

The worshiping of the cat by the
Egyptians has been attributed 10 the
fact that where there were cats there
was no bubOnic plague. The ancients
did not think quite far enough to real
lie that where there We're cats the rats
We're scarce and so went on worship
ing the cat, supposing that II was the
animals supernatural power which
saved them from the plague.

The burden of Bishop Nc
DoWelPs message was that this
story is repeated today in the life
OF every individual and that the
results and rewards are the same.
America faces these problems to-
day as nation. We cannot ex-
pect to escape the temptations; but
we can resist them in the way of
the Master to the fulfillment of the
same ends.
Bishop Mcdowell was thanked
for his talk and visit and the meet
ing was closed by singing and the
benediction.

The Student Council held the
most successful dance yet given by
that body on Thanksgiving even
ing. The dance was given primar-

which has struggled so Loyalty
thru the whole season. 1t was
thought that the postponement of
the game would materially affect
the attendance. This proved, how
ever, to be a mistaken idea as
there were more couples present
that evening than there ever have
been at Student Council dance.

hSAop VIM. F. Mcdowell, was in
foduced by DR.. Mitchell.
bishop McDowells text was the
aory CT Jesus three temptations by
satan. The first temptation Of ask
ing Jesus to turn stones into
oread, has several arguments in
'SVor of yielding to it; for exam
pIe' the purpose of satisfying hun
ser or of making something
ne1ul from something useless.
Dut the reasons against yielding

was Jesus to use his powers? For
us own advantages or toward the
.aIAIlmen tof his-task? Just such
question confronts all of us to-
Vdy IN the crisis of our nation. II
"e use our powers for our own ad-
'aAtages it is just so much that

Inc second temptation of Jesus
y which Satan dared him to cast
