MORE LIGHT
LESS COST
"Dou you keep Tungsten lamps?"
asked the young matron of the supply
manager of an Illuminating company,
"I have heard a great ileal about Tung
sten lamps. I read that they will give
tlireo times as much light for the same
money I am paying now. What are
they? What do they look like and whero
CiUi I get them?"
'"Yes, we havo them," answored the
tnanarer, "and not only do they give
three times the light of the old carbon
lamps for the same cost but they give a
pure, white light that is almost like
actual nunshine." And then ho ex
plained that the Tungsten Umpa were
very nearly like the ordinary incandes
cent lamps which his customor whs
using.
Ttie remarkable Tungsten lamp,
which gives a greater amount of light
of better quality that the ordinary csr
bon incandescent 1 imp for considerable
less current, is ono of the greatest in
ventions of this progressive age. Al
though this wonderful lamp waa dis
covered very recently and made com
mercially possible less than a year ago,
nearly 30,000 of them are manufactured
and sold by the General Klectric com
pany every day. Now the now Tung
sten lamp does away with two-thirds of
the prrsent cost of household illumin
ation. This lamp gives a good commer
cial life at the remarkable ellicioncy of
f'om one to oae and a (juartor watts per
candlj-powor, or practically three times
tho light given by ordinary incandes
cent lamps for the same power con
sumed.
For instance, a 32 candle |>ower car
bo n lamp consumes 105 watts of electri
city. A Tungsten lamp of the same
candle-power uses only 40 watts. Ono
80 candie power Tungsten lamp con
sumes 100 watts of electricity, which is
the equivalent of two and a half 32 can
dle power carbon lamps burning 315
watts.
The price of tho Tungsten lamp, due
to the difficulty and cost of manufacture
is somewhat higher than tho ordinary
lamps, but is far less than its value to
the consumer. A Tungsten lamp will
cost tho purchaser about #2, as against
2T? cents for tho ordinary carbon lamp,
but this difference is more ttian made
up in the life-long saving of two-thirds
of the cost of current. This means a
saving during the life of a 32 candie
l>ower lamp of $7 20 to a consumer pay
ing at a rate of ten cents per kilowait
hour.
BELLS RANG AS

pi- .;>!e who had gathered on. the street

li>'? the hall. There was a period of
wlhl confusion In the dark, and when
the candles were dually relighted no
charter was to lie found. It had been
removed by Captain WaiNworth and
concealed 111 the oak. which ever after
ward bore Its name;
The oak was even then old. "When
the tlrst settlers were clearing their
land the Indians begsed that It might
lie spared. 'It has heen the guide of
our ancestors for centuries.' they said,
'as to the time of planting our corn.
When the leaves are the size of a
mouse's ears, then Is the time to put
seed into the ground.' The Indians' re
quest was granted, and the tree, after
ward becoming the custodian of the
lost charter, became famous for all
time. It fell in a windstorm Aug. 21,
ISTiti, and so deeply was It venerated
that at sunset on the day of Its fall
the bells of the city were tolled and a
band of music plnyed funeral dirges
over Its ruins.
At the time of Its fall Its circumfer
ence one foot from the ground was
twenty-tlve feet, aud It was estimated
to be over tlOO years old.

American dealer In ol?l clothes has es
tablished a business of such extent of
Interest as that of John llyman of Lon

showy costumes and discarded military
and olllelal uniforms for disposal In the
orient and Africa.
Even the retiring lord mayors of I-on
don have become almost by otDclal tra

gazed with awe In the famous pageant

eyes of darkest Africa u|>on the proud
person of a darkest African.
?i have visited most of the great
oriental bazars and watched our good*
belug purchased," says Mr. Ilyninn. "I
have seen blacks solemnly walking
aroutul with waistcoats buttoned be
hind lustead of before and even men
wearing ladles' costumes. I have seen
enormously big fellows In clothes so
small I could not Imagine for the life
of ine how they got into them or how
they could get out again unless the
stitching gave way."
The Prince dc Jolnvllle when off the
Gabun coast once received 0:1 ids ship
an otllclal visit from two chiefs, father
and sou. who must, one would thin'.;,
have been Mr. ITvmnn's customers.
They were known as l'.ig penis and
LUtle Denis, and each owned for cere
inonial^occaslous a military uniform.
That of Big Denis was a French gen
eral's, which his wives managed to get
him Into. That of I.lttle Denis was a
hussar's, and Its Intricate cut, numer
ous buttons, straps and buckles and
painfully small size proved quite too
much for 1dm. lie sent the prince a
despairing message begging help, and
a relief party of delighted midshipmen
was sent to dress bliu aud bring him
aboard.
They fulfilled their errand: but, with
the mlschiovousness of t licit kind, they
so tightened every fasteuiug of his
overt ight attire that the poor youth
was nearly bursting with combined
pride and suffocation when lie arrived,
and it was evident lie could never 1h>

method less drastic than cutting him

Still, no manner of wearing a com
