and sonora from the capital, Santo
Domingo. Their present home. when
they are at home, is the well known
sea resort of Puerta Plata, and here
they maintain fine establishment,

located. He Is a manufacturer or

Teresa is now Sonora Santiago Mich

A citizen Of the world, Senior ARIA
Is intensely proud of his native land
and profoundly versed in it's history.
He can recall very vividly the world
wide amazement over that fascina.-
ing chapter of it's affairs, when, in
1877, an Italian. Bishop Rogue Coo
CHA, then in charge of the ancicnl
diocese OF Santo Domingo, was max
ing some repairs In the old cathedral
crypt and discovered that the body
which the Spanish had removed with
such honors many years before as
that OF the great discoverer, Christie
pher Columbus, was in reality the re-
mains of Don Diego Columbus, his
son. Santo Domingo was the center
of the world for a time, and thea,
with the same signal honors which
had before attended the removal of
the remains of the intrepid voyager's
son. his bones were transported to
Havana, where they rested until Cuba
passed from Spanish dominion and
the body was once more removed,
this time to Seville. But the somber
and stately cathedral at Santo Do
mingo will always be the venerated
spot to many who know that the re-
nowned Columbus was buried there,
while much doubt exists that the
crypt in which he rested for the cen
turies Is not the same in which he
still rests. Santo Domingo passed
through many political upheavals
during the centuries after the pass
ing Of the man who discovered the
New World, and the old cathedral felt
the shock. of war and calamities of
all kinds. There are many who
maintain that the body of Columbus
has never been moved, and, naturally.

an unending theme for study.

THE STORY OF CEIICKIE
By ELENORE MEHERIN

Jennie made the little tucks as
she asked this. And Chiclkie.
watching her, wondered suddenly
what would happen II she were
to face those gentle eyes with
the truth. Oh-if she were to
tell her mother?
She could see the bland. rosy
cheeks Grow ashen; see Jenn1e's
mouth sag. She pushed the tray
from her, saying quickly: Here
Jennie! 30 you and Jonathan

it? Ho-you would peddle me
off,"
When Jennie was gone. Chickle
lay a long while with her; hands
pressed over her face. She kept
saying: "IN hear tomorrow; III
Vait this week-just this week."
Scenes from the meeting with
Jake flashed disturbingly through
these thoughts. Now for. the first
+! time she weighed Jake's looks
Jake's words.
How did he come to take It all
for granted? How did he know
that Barry was gone and was not
coming back to her? Why, he
seemed to read her heart!
Suddenly she was frightened.
Perhaps Jake had seen him In
New York? Or perhaps Tufts

mentioned that night she had

could not force herself to meet

of terrible despair with the
brighter things that might have
been. She said to herself quiet
~: "Yes-Jake would come
back"
And Jake would phone. He
would insist on that tomorrow
she had half promised. She
fancied herself saying to him:
"You don't want to go out with
me, Jake. Listen" Then tell

seeing him, too. turn from her
with a shame.
Seeing herself finally alone
standing in that gray waste;
watching the gray sea.
This vision she swept away.
There never would be the mo-

would know. Never that!
No use to get wild about 1t
now. Barry hadn't received the

They had their dreams for her

Chiclxie knew this. She was
awake uneasy.
Jennie took the chair at the
bed. Smiling, she regarded the
profile etched against the pillow;
softly, she touched the beautiful
hair, smoothing the strands from
!. Chiclxie'g forehead.
And there was such tenderness
IN the short, plump fingers.
Chickie turned from It. Too

half buried IN the pillow: "Jen.

Jennie Stainmered: ''Why-your

thought perhaps you'd be going

'TUNGSTENLA|N|P
EFFICIENCY
RATED
1888
General Electric Company
Shows Gains Over Old
Carbon FiIament.

Lighting specialists Of the Gen.
eral Electric Company have Just
made calculations which disclose
that II the present 40.watt lamp.
with It's filament Of drawn tung-
stem wire. not az thick as q human
hair, were made for the same mean
efficiency as Hdison's first CONNER
cial lamp Of 1880. which had 8 ban1-
boo carbonized filament, the 40.watt
lamp Of today would have a life
Of over 10000 years. The rated
life Of the 4O-watt lamp IL actually
q thousand hours.
This gives an indication Of the
astounding manner In which Ed.
sons first lamp has been improved
by subsequent discoveries. The 40
tual average or mean efficiency Of
this lamp 10 900 lumene per watt,
whereas the lamp Of 1880 had an
its life Of 100 lumenS per watt.
lamp which 10 the size most gen.
orally used for household lighting,
has been itself improved since 1t
first appeared in 1907. In 1907 1t
was only IL per cent az good as
1t is now. On the other hans,
the lamp Of 1880 was only one-half
as efficient az the carbon lamp
which was in use in 1892.
Even more striking IL the ad-
vance that has been made when
lamps Of higher capacity are con-
sidered IN comparison with Edison's
lamp Of 1880. The eo-called gas
filled lamps, resulting from dis.
coveries made by DR.. Irving Lang
muir in the research laboratory Of
the General Electric Company, are
high-wattage lamps. The 75!watt
lamp Of this type IL nearly eleven
times more efficient than the lamp
Of 1880, while the 1,0O0-wat lamp ID
seventeen and one-Quarter times
more efficient.
At the lowest average rate now
prevailing for electrical current 80
sold by lighting companies. the
forty-watt tungsten lamp gives
1.780 lumen hours for cent. In
1880, at the average rate at which
current was then being sold. the
lamp of that year gave about fifty
lumen hours for l cent.
If the fortyIwatt lamp Of today
were Of the same efficiency as the
lamp Of 1880, it would give. at the
present rate charged for current,
100 lumen hours for cent. II. on
the other hand, the forty-w0tt lamp
of today, improved as It is, were
burned at the rates chaIg ed for
current in 1880. it would give 49,
lumen hours for 1 cent.

'FAR|N ROMANCE
IN TANNING.
Of LAKE
Rich Land Has Now Been
Reclaimed Around TuIare
by Huge Dykes.

The tanning Of Tulare Lake has
been almost completed; and out in
San Joaquin Valley. Calf. men are
amazed by the farming romance
that has resulted. This year, ao-
cording to estimates just made. q
grain crop amounting to more than
five million dollars in value will
be harvested record for that dis
trict.
This has been more than an irri-
cation problem. For years TularO
Lake has been receding, leaving be-
hind 1t a rich alIuvial soil in the
lake bottom. But In years Of flood
and freshet, the lake over-leaps all
bounds and puts the whole region
under water. The old lake covered
about eighty square miles In normal
years: In flood years 1t inundated
moro than $50 square miles.
In Proper Area.
Finally, by means Of dredging,
dylzing and the building OF levees
and canals. the lake has been con-
fined to its proper area, and fun
advantage has been taken Of the
old bed to plant grain crops.
Powerful electric pumps bring
back the water of the lake, when
needed, for irrigating these crops.
The largest Of them consists Of
three pumps Of 126 horsepower each,
which will irrigate seven thousand
acres one foot deep per hour.
That is how the farmers of San
Joaquin Valley have benefited
when Tulare Lake was made to
provide water in just the right
quantity, at exactly the proper
time, and in precisely the desired
place.
Most Efficient Farming. ,
When the grain Is harvested.
some Of the most efficient farming
methods in the world are seen in
operation. On the largest ranches
NO sacks are used.
The, grain is loaded loose into
trucks. and on arrival at the grain
elevator it is unloaded into a pit,
with the aid Of an electric hoist, in
exactly two minutes.
Electric conveyOrs take 1t eventu-
ally to big S.000-bushel storage
tanks.
When 1t is loaded into cars for
shipment, 1t IL done by powerful
air currents from an electrically
driven machine.
