provision TO the measure: to limit

failed. The Senate did adopt. how
ever. an amendment by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, re-
curing the commission after the
conclusion Of zach rcfunding ncgo-
tiation to report the results to the
Senate. Senator Walsh explained
that the object was to give 'pltiless
publicity to the work of the COM
mission"
During the more than week OF de-
bate 1t was charged from both sides
of the chamber that IT was the pur-
pose to defer interest payments for
2 number of years in the interest Of
private holders I'm this country OF
$4,000. 100000 worth OF bonds of some
of the debtor nations. 1t also was
charged that IL the interest payments
could be deferred for a number OF
years the way might Ec cleared for
the cancellinE of the whole debt,
principal and interest.
These contentious were denied by
those in charge of the measure who
stated that il was necessary to give
the commits latitude in the mat
ter of the time OF interest payments,
because all of the debtor nations
could not begin payments at the SANE
time. The Senate was told that the
Treasury Department expected Great
Britain TO begin its interest payments
in short time, but that In the case
OF some OF the newly created nations
interest payments might have TO be
deferred for rs long as ten years.

BELIEF COST HIM HIS JoB
Reporter Was Discharged Because He Had Faith in PracticabiIity of
 EdiSOn'0 Electric Lamp.

Did you ever hear of the New York newspaper reporter who lost his job, only q few years ago, because he wrote an article for his paper about EdisOn's demonstration of his first electric lamp2 The publisher said he had no place on his paper for a darned fool who would believe you could spirit electricity through a wire that had nc hOle in it, and fired the report CT unceremonloualy.
 The speaker was a grizzled old cleo tFtcal engin0og, who has attained the age when he is inclined to look back on things as they were and to attempt to understand the forces that have brought about the marvellous changes he has witnessed within his lifetime.
 "YOu know" he continued, "as lOOk back upon the development of electrical engineering, it seems to me that advertising has had more to do with it than any other factor. Elec- trical companies are willing to go al- most any length in the development of new cOnveniences because they have learned not only about electric. ity, but have also learned what is more impOrtant-how to tell the peO. pie about their products, through ad' vertising.
 Suppose have an idea for a new kind of electric lamp. I could afford to spend nearly any amount in per fecting 1t, because, within a few weeks after it is ready for the market can, through advertising. get it on the shelves of thousands of merchants, and I can have millions of people ask ing for it by name"

LAMPS LONG BEFORE CANDLE
Except the Torch, They Are the Old. est Form of illumination Known
 to History.

Lamps were employed long before candles were invented. As far back as recorded history goes one reads of their use. In some languages, indeed. there was but one word for both.
 The first light was simply a torch. Then men improved upon that and de- vised the scheme of obtaining light from porous fiber soaked in some 0ni- maj or vegetable oil. Lamps of brass, bronze and stone have been found in the Pyramids. as we'll as In old East Indian temples: and common terra cOtta ones were in general use for dO- mestic purposes in Greece as early aS the Fourth century, B. c.
 The earliest candles of which there is any record were those used by the, ancient Romans, and were made of rushes coated with fat or wax. The first Christians made constant use of candles.
 Many of the masterpieces of great authors of antiquity were written with no other light than that from the fireplace OF the uncertain flicker of 8 talIow candle or even the flame of 8 dried rush.

THRILLED BY STATE "LINES"
En0Iish Woman Surprised ak Sim PIicity of Crossing Boundaries
 in the United States.

I like the feeling of crossing from one state. into another, especially as the American states are as big as Euro pean countries. Especially also as there is only stone to mark the division, and the transit is as simple as going from one county to another.
 At TiconderOga you cross from New York state to Vermont, or from Yer mont to New York state. This might seem an important process. Actually, you stand on one shore and tOOt your horn, taking a soft drink the while, and presently a vessel appears which is none other than a roOmy red punt, propelled from the side by & small launch. The punt lets down 8 tail board, the motor gives a hIccup ever 1t, and there you are until the process, reversed, takes place on the other side. This is one of the few ferries by means of which you span the great water ways from New York to Canada waterways over which, most of the time, bridges are unthinkable.
 It is also the gateway from the Green mountains in the AdirOndackS, blue and shapely, and from the one you can see the other on either side of Lake Champlain, and between the two on the sparkling blue surface of the lake plies a little white steamer, bearing visitors to the most historic spots of North America, and taking the place of the birch bark canoe with its load of h. dians, who also had their own par ticular interest in historic spots. -Muriel Harris in the Manchester (England) Guardian. ~< --..-..
