The beginning of electric incan-
descent lighting was made in 1879. 1t
was then that Thomas A. Edison
made universal electric lighting pos
sible by his invention of the incan-
descent lamp. Commenting upon this
early work in the developing Of the
incandescent lamp, Mr.. Edison says:

sealed it in a glass tube from which
the air had been pumped. When the
current was turned on the thread
glowed for 40 hours. That was really
the first incandescent electric lamp.
We sat and looked and the lamp con-
tinued to burn. and the longer it
burned the more fascinated we were."
Twenty-Five thousand lamps were
made the first year. $4,000 in the Sec
ond, and by 1918, thirty-two years
later. the production had reached
over so.ooo.ooo. The first lamps
carbon lamp had the incandescent
lighting field practically all to itself
until the year Of 1907, when the tung-
stem lamp appeared.
Over the. sun began to set upon
the popularity Of the carbon, the out
put Of the tungsten increased from
52.471 the first year to more than
100, 100000 per year. The tungsten
or Mazda lamp reduces lighting costs
nearly two-thirds below those with
the carbons. which is a great saving
to the consumer without the reduc-
ton in electric lighting rates.
By the use Of the latest types of
these tungsten lamps, the consumer
is now able to obtain many times as
much light for a given expenditure
Of power as could be had with the
first commercial incandescent lamps
made in 1880. This represents an in
crease of 1,075 per cent in efficiency.

Charles Nicole, French soldier who
is IN New York on a bret visit, tells this
story:
at was near CharIeroi in Belgium.
Children were clamoring for food. One
German soldier was throwing bits OF
bread, enjoying himself watching boys
and girls scrambling for them. Justwhen
one little boy had his hand ouistretched,
another German soldier with one blow

he asked.
Il will tell you. Back there 10 North

wives and mothers and sisters. The
Germans came-and turned northern
france into hell for our women folk.
There IS nothing gross and bestisl and
cruel that the German soldiers have NOT
done to these helpless ones. Oae of my

sation 10 be prehistoric relic OF reaction
against peril II is more strange than
appears at tirst glance that the tickle re-
flex can be excited only in certain parts
OF the body. by but two types OF taciile
impressions. and that il is invariably ac-
companied by self-protective reaction.
One type is elected by light. running

which produces sensation like that
which is produced by crawling insect.
The reflex is an irresistible desire TO
scratch or rub the affected part. II un-
doubtedly came into being al Ia time when
insects were great menace 10 life, and
when only those individuals who evolved
an effective defense were able 10 survive.
II may even supply an explanation OF
mans gradual loss OF hair from the body
in his long, slow. upward march. since
the presence OF hair would provide an
bush ioT the insect enemy, whereas the
loss OF il, together with the evolution OF
the tickle sensation. would greatly facilitate
defense. A second type OF tickle reflex
is elected by heavy penetrating pressure
in the region OF The ribs, the loins, The
base OF the neck and the soles oi the feet

this case is a violent discharge OF energy

tickled for an hour, he would probably
be as much exhausted as II he had run a
Marathon race or sustained crushing
injury; indeed. persons sentenced TO
death by torture In the Middle Ages were
often killed by prolonged tickling. The
fact that the ilcklish areas are found In
those parts Of the body that still are. and
always must have been. the points most
frequently attacked by savage beasts
leaves little doubt that the reaction de-
veloped at alime when mans progenitors.

and that the mechanism came into exist
ence as means OF protection against

Do Insects Migrate7

Ore OF the unexplained phenomena OF
animal lie IS the annual migration OF
birds. though the lines oil their great flights
have now been accurately mapped In
both hemispheres. Mr.. Howard J..
Shannon, in an article IN the Scientific
Monthly. entitled Insect MiRrations as
Related 10 Those OF Birds. maintains that
many insects as well as birds make an-
nual migration southwark In The autumn,
following well-deiined routes that cor
respond TO those taken by the birds oil
same regions. The insects include cef-
tain North American species oi Diptera,
butterflies and dragon flies. Mr.. Shan
non believes that there may be a return
migration in The spring, but he is moi sure
whether such migrants are the same In
dividuals that Ilew south In The tall or a
new generation, bred In the southern
winter quarters. Some idea OF the mag
uiiude Of the migraiions may be gathered
from The statements Of The author In re-

Uncle Billy.

Everyone in the community knew
Uncle Billy, whom Rhoda, his seventy
year-old sister, described as preserved
boy" The little old mans sixty years
had subtracted all the hair from his head
except thin remainder OF white silken
fuzz on level with the tops OF his ears.
The back OF Uncle Billy's head looked
like big egg in nest OF wool; his face
suggested a full moon on the disk oi
which two twinkli1g stars stood guard
above a smile.
Uncle Billy was always busy, and
usually he was doing something worth
while. One OF his favorite expressions
was, Doing nothing is the hardest sort
OF work." Uncle Billy tried TO like
everyone, but he had little use for one oi
the neighbors named Bruton, whose wife
worked the garden while he spent the
day at the village store playing checkers
and talking politics.
But Uncle Billy had faith in other peo-
pie. He often commented upon the fact
that the persons we like best are usually
those we know best, and one day he
said TO his sister, "Rhody, that man
Bruton is all right; the fault was in my
mind. didn't look at him the right
way"
Uncle Billy was always hopeful. II
he ever had the "blues," no one knew ii
except himself. Usually when two peo-
pie meet, one says, Good morning!"
or "How- dy-do ?" and the other replies,
Good morning" or "How-dy- y-do p
When anyone greeted Uncle Billy
morning, afternoon or night,-hiS re-
sponse was always, "Its all right" If
you suggested that the world is growing
worse, the little old man shook his bald
head vigorously and replied, "No, no,
no, no ! And even if it were, il would be
our business TO leave il better for the next
generation"
The TACT that Uncle Billy was under
sized caused some thoughtlesS remarks
that would have hurt the feelings OF an
other. But they did not hurt Uncle BilIy'S.
He would say, with laugh, "You can't
hurtmy feeln's," and 90 whistling about
his business. Even the dogs recognized
the little old man as their friend. More
than once, when some thoughtleSs or
cruel boy tied tin can or package OF
tirecrackers to dogs tail, the frightened
creature ran TO Uncle Billy for help and
protection.
No one ever heard Uncle Billy recite a
creed, and no one ever heard him boast
of what he had done, was doing or ex-
pected TO do; but everyone knew that
he was religious and that his life was
clean and his heart was pure.
Uncle Billy believed that people are
affected by the language they use. One
day one OF his nephews spoke profanely
in his presence. "Oh, my dear boy !"
exclaimed the old man. "lf you expect
some day TO get through the pearly gates
and shout 'Gloryp you'd better begin

One clustering March midnight Uncle
Billy's sister, Rhoda, leaned over him,
placed her wrinkled hand gently on his
brow, kissed his hot cheek and whisper
ed, "Billy, the doctor says you carnot
stand this pneumonia"
Out of his eyes there came twinkle,
as OF the stars, and, attempting 10 pat his
old sisters cheek, he panied, "lt's all
right, Rhody; it's all right"

A Great Discovery
(BY ]. II. WATsoN NJ ny

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
dropSical condition, often caused by
dlsordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.
AS remedy for those easily recog-
niZed symptoms of inflammation caused
by uric acid-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, gout, it is simply wonder
ful how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
Take glass of hot water before meals
and Anuric to flush the kidneys.
Step into any drug store and ask for
Annric, many times more potent than
E-R'H and eliminates uric acid as hot
