* ? NEWEST ELECTRIC , LIGHT IS LAUDED Shines Nearer Like The Sun Than Any Other, Is Claim in London. . i LondonJ? A light which far sur ^isses any existing arrangement of ^Rctificial light and is the closest ap^Bproximation to actual daylight ever ^(Accomplished, is understood by the IBV.merican unamoer 01 Lonmicuc m london to have been perfected here. I The apparatus consists of a high Bower electric light bulb fitted with h cup-shaped opaque reflector, the 'silvered inner side of which reflects the light against a parasol shaped screen ptlaced above the light. The screen is lined with small patches of different' colors, arranged according to a formula worked out emprically by Mr. Sheringham, the inventor, and carefully tested and perfected in the\ ^fcmperial College of Science ana ^*echnolog-v. The light thrown down from the ^fccreen is said to show colors almost bs well in full daylight. Under the new light delicate yellows were quite ^Jdistinct, indigo blues were blue, ^ fcbalts had their full value, and vio^^Pts lost the reddish shade which they Wfiisplay in electric light. The American chamber says a I great future is expected tor tnis invention in such used as the lighting: of show windows and art galleries, studio work of all kinds, dye works, tea and tobacco blending and many other- industries. Color photography -also will probably benefit. ( WALKING AT NIGHT.

S A little girl had been taken to I church for the first time, and she 'was somewhat surprised by the gen| eral style of the building, which was I quite unlike anything she had prev II ionsly seen.

' V | """ A REAL f' 'i/./ <r^vT ^ ^v/M^..;>-: iftft?,* d I ENGLISH GENTLEMEN I ' DISCOVERED SECRET FOUND OUT HOW IO tit A I HIUM ; COST 0" LIVING AND PROVED IT TO ALL COUNTRYSIDE. i t There, were no War Savings Stamps ' or Treasury Savings Certificates in the i (Ip.vs of Samuel Johnson, the famous ! * nhilnsnnher- hnt the most effective weap'on against profiteers and the high cost of living was known and emj ployed as*effeetively then as now. i Boswell in his life of Johnson calls attention to the Successful manner in which Mr. Peregrin Langdon mas1 tered t;he art of living in the eighteenth century. Mr. Langdon seems to have been a wonder even in the ! frugal countryside where he lived. Ac| cording to Boswell he had an annuity | of 200 pounds a year (about $1,000), and while that sum probably exceedrv/l an onual amnnnt tnriav in nnrchas ing power, this is what he was able to do with it: He supported himself, his sister i (who paid $90 a year for her board) 1 and his niece. "The servants," says the biographer, "were two maids and two men in livery; the appurtances* to i his table were neat and handsome. ' He frequently entertained company at 1 dinner and then his table was well served with as many dishes as were j usual at the tables of other gantlemen ' of the neighborhood. His ownt appearance as to clothes was generally neat and plain. He had always a ? * * i post-c&aise ana K^pt tnree norses. i Mr. Langdon's nephew, in writing to Dr. Johnson, gave away the secret formula by which all this was made possible. He declared that Mr. Langdon was able to do so much with so little because he paid for everything as soon as he had it except alone what were current expenses such as rent for his house and servant's wages, and Vi/aeo ho nnid nf th? statpri timp with the utmost exactness. He save notice to the tradespeople of the neighboring towns that they should no longer have' his custom if they let any cf his servants have anything without paying for it. Thus he put out of his power to commit those imprudences to which those are liable that defer their payments by using their money some other way than where it ought to go." In other words Mr. Langdon saved first and spent afterwards. That is the-fundamental principle which, the savings division of the treasury tepartment is seeking to instill into the American people through encouragement of thrift and safe investment in government securities. i Times have changed tinco Mr. Langdon's day but principles have not. and his methods of getting the utmost from his income through economy, ! elimination of waste, wise buying, systematic saving and safe invest ir - - U1 - -..Unn ment ^re as appncauit; uma.v as wucu M- Johnson lived. Mr. Langdon's nephew knew thereof ha spok?; when he concluded his description of his uncle's methods as follows: "These few particulars may afford instruction and he an incentive to that wise art of living which he so successfully practiced." i SCOTCH SONGS TO DATE. !
