New Electric Lamp.

An electrical lamp has been devel- oped in Europe which virtually con sists of a metallic arc inside of a seal ed bulb containing attenuated helium and neon gases. The wire anode ter inmates so closely to the edge of the hemispherical iron cathode that the current discharges across the gap spontaneously. The rays have an or ange hue and are only slightly actinic
 making the lamp useful in photo graphic dark rooms. It is also recon mended for use in mines. and other places where inflammable gases may be present, because breaking of the bulb instantly extinguishes the light.

4 Great Publishing Achievement by

When you pick up this months
numbe. of Cosmopolitan Magazine

Movements in the publishing business
and achievement so vast that it is

The October edition of Cosmopoli-
tan is 1,164,00O copies. If these cop
les were piled, one on another, they
would make shaft reaching more
than four miles in the air, or forty
times as high as the Washington
monument.
Six hundred tons of paper and
five mad quarter tons of printing
ink are required to print this one
edition.
If you were to lay each copy of
the October number end to end, you
would have line of magazines
reaching more than two hundred
miles, about the distance from Lon
don to Paris.
It is not in manufacturing alone
that Cosmopolitan excels so many
of its competitors-it excels them
all, as a matter Of fact. in the quail
ity of its editorial matter. as Co.'S
mopolitan's policy of publishing only
the best work of the greatest writ
ers in all the world. month after
month, is well established and world
famous.
In this months number, you will
