ReUoIutionized Lighting

About forty years ago electric
light began to supplant gas, and most
people made up their minds that, gas
lighting was doomed. Then Baron
Auer Won Welsbach came to the rescue
He discovered that cotton fabric, If
soaked in nitrate solution composed
Of ninety-five parts of thorium and one
part cerium, and then placed over a
hot flame to burn out all impurities,
would glow with a white incandes-
ence, giving out pure white light
Of astonishing power. BY making a
cone Of this fabric he produced the
incandescent gas mantle, which, IL
placed over gas jet, cut the con
sumption of gas by half, and at the
same time gave ten times more light.
This invention saved the gas-lighting
Industry, and is today being used ex-
esnsively upon oil as well as gas light.

Live Stock Hints


A horse eats nearly five tons year.
If his head is left free, horse that
stumbles is less likely to fall.
To make horse lift his foot, pinch
the wart just above the knee.
There appears to be no economy in
trying to raise pigs without grain.
Extra time spent with sows when
due to farrow will pay big wages. Put
in part of the night in the hog barn
when necessary.
Lice should never be permitted to
remain on the hogs any longer than
their presence is known.
Under winter conditions fish meal
is worth relatively more in compari-
son with tankage than when the pigs
are on pasture. Likewise it has a
relatively higher feeding value for
young pigs than for well-grown shoats.
Silage furnishes succulency to the
ration, and it is common knowledge
that succulent food in the ration is
quite beneficial, not only making the
ration more appetizing, but stimulat-
ing the digestion and assimilation of
the dry foods in the ration.
Don't go to the extreme in furnish
ing shelter and not allow the sows and
pigs to get out Of the barn or pen.
Exercise, sunshine, and fresh air are
essential factors in growing hogs.
Neither the nO-shelter nor the all-shel-
ter method is desirable.

TOMB IN ROCK MAY
BE THAT OF DAVID
Important Find Made by
Jerusalem ExcaUotors.

According to adviceS from JeruSa-
lem, received in London, Rev. j. Gar
row Duncan, who has been conducting
excavations at the Ophel quarter of
the city for the Palestine Exploration
fund, announces the discovery on the
western side of the site of a series of
underground rock-cut chambers, COM
prising large central room with five
smaller chambers five feet square
branching from it,
To the southwark is a room 10 feet
by 16 feet leading into two narrower
rooms, each 10 feet by s feet, which
again lead into similar narrow cham
bers, each with smaller chambers cut
into its walls. Tool marks on the
walls Indicate the period of the Iron
age, not earlier than 1900 B. G. There
is similar series Of rock chambers
and galleries on the eastern side of
Ophel, entered from the face of the
rock scarp under the Jebusite east city
wall, and closed by curious stone
door.
1t Is not wholly impossible that
here we have the actual long hoped
for tomb of David The probability is
that both sets of chambers are parts
of a series of royal tombs The series
has been much abused by later usage.
first an olive press and stcTerooms in
the Byzantine period, then as cisterns
by the Arabs.
Plans for the complete excavation
of the ancient city of David on Mount
Ophel were announced just over two
years ago, and work has been in prog
ress since then. For long time the
true location of the city of David was
disputed but excavations carried on
by Doctor Bliss in 1896, by Captain
Parker in 1909, and by M. WE'LL in.
1894 settled the question, though
much work remained to be done in
exploring the original stronghold of
the Jebusites, the palace of David, and
the tombs Of the kings of Judah.

city, just outside the southern wall
(just south of the temple area'), and
in the area between the wall and the
Pool of Sloan, which marks the south
ern area of the site, ten acres had
been reserved by the administration
for excavation.
On November %, 1928 Prof. r. A.
5. Macalister, who had charge Of part
Of the work, announced the discovery
of the north wall of the Jebusites and
a tower. Later, it was announced that
the breach made in the wall by King
David had been discovered, as well as
an ornamental portico added by King
Solomon, and Of defensive works hur-

discoveries were later announced Of

date.
The work of excavation has been
carried on by number of national so

 The business, that of Miller and Lux, found root back In the gold days when young Henry Miller, not long over from Germany, opened a butcher shop in little California town. The construction of the shop exhausted his assets. He had to borrow his first assortment of beef cuts and steaks while 1t was still on the hoof.
 From that beginning grew an em~ pire of some S00,000 acres of land in California, 120,000 in Oregon and So,000 in Nevada, the richness of which has never been estimated. The land now Is 10 be cut In small sections and sold.
 Henry Miller turned 10 cattle when others were turning to gold. He bought lands, almost a county at 8 time, for 65 cents an acre in the wide flats of the San Joaquin valley He specialized in river land, avoided by others because of it's malarial threat, establishing price less water rights.
 Some years later he came into competition with the big Lux land interest which were blazing new empire In the wildernesses of Ore gon and Nevada. For time they battled for supremacy, and then joined forces. forming he world famed combination of Miller and Lux.
