Household IlluwnMiftt Unchanged in 25,000^^ The inventions of Aimee Aigiiud and John Miles in the 1780s revolutionized the art of household illumination. For more than 25.000 yenPS lamps in various forms had consisted of an open or partially closed reservoir for oil with a wick lying at the rim or in a protruding spout, writes Howard G. Hubbard in American Collector. They gave poor light, spilled oil abominably, and cast an annoying shadow on the side away from the flame. . All three of these fundamental faults were overcome almost at' stroke by the vertical wick and closed reservoir of Argand, IW Miles. There were left many problems of refinement and, as often happens with epochal inventions, at least one new problem was created. The earlier lamps, with flame near^ the fuel, could use either expensive oils or waste kitchen greases, latter would not work in the new lamps, which utilized whale, ^perm, flah and vegetable oils. Here, then, was the new problem: a lamp with the advantages of vertical wick and closed reservoir and the ability to burn inexpensive greases. We have pieager evidence that inventors on both sides of the Atlantic* went to work on this problem almost at once. Perhaps the first to succeed was John Love of South Carolina. He took out a United States patent in 1798 for a "tallow lamp," but this bare title is the sum total of our present knowledge re?-, garding it. Proof that a "lamp forburning lard" was invented in this, country previous to 1810 is contairted in a statement made by Thomas P. Jones, M. D., editor of the Journal of the Franklin Institute and, previous to that appointment, superintendent of the patent office. Ohio Limestone Cavern Has Puzzling Formation The Blue Hole of Castalia, Ohio, is somewhat of a puzzle to scientists. This interesting natural phenomenon is located in a limestqri^jUJgion, and limestone areas are always marked with water-made caverns, subterranean streams and similar peculiarities. The Blue Hole is a place where such a subterranean stream springs suddenly to the surface and runs for the remainder of its course above ground. The sources of the streams in^this area are in land which, to the south of ; Castalia, has an elevation of 700 ( feet and more above sea level. The elevation at the Blue Hole is 830 feet; that of Lake Erie is 572 feet. 1 The stream which issues from the < Blue Hole and descends so rapidly i to the lake three miles away ? is , called Cold creek. "In its natural , channel," says Henry Howe's Ohio ( History, "this creek ran through a place of prairie covering, several hundred acres into a quagmire and ' 'muskrat garden.' It now runs near- < ly its whole length through an arti- i ficial channel. "The constituents of the water are , lime, soda, magnesia and iron, and , it petrifies all objects, as grass, stumps, moss, etc., which come in } contact with it. The water is very cold but never freezes, and at its 11 point of entrance to the lake prevents the formation there of ice; it maintains nearly the same temperature summer and winter." Superstition Mountain The name Superstition mountain is given to a peak east of Phoenix, j Ariz., because of the Indian legends surrounding it, writes a correspond- . ent to the Detroit News. One of , these stories relates to a great flood, j similar to that given in the Bible. A Dutchman's mine there was formerly owned by a Spanish ranch- . man in Sonora, Mexico. Jacob Walz, j known as "Snowbeard the Dutch- i man " murdered three of the Span- I iard's heirs and stole the mine. He worked it alone for 10 years or so and then revealed its secret site to his nephew, whom he afterward j killed. Other persons, to the num- : ber of eight, were shot while trying J to find it. He died ;r. 1802 without revealing the mine's location. A j bronze tablet marks Snov.beards , grave on the mountain. Pilots Hit Billion Miles Airplane pilots licensed by the ' commerce department have passed ! the billion mark in mileage flown, according to a study of the department's records. The records of the department's aeronautics branch show all flying time accumulated by licensed pilots and from these records it if estimated that these airmen have flown approximately 1,054,000,000 miles. Flying by those carried on the records as transport pilots, the highest type licensed by the department, accounted for approximately II twelfths of thcUo-i tal, the remaining twelfth having . been credited to private, limited j commercial and industrial pilots, in ! that order. New Dye in Use A brilliant blue dye, one of a new class of blue-to-green pigments known to scientists as the pthalocyanines, is showing such excellent fastness properties that it is re placing some of the older dyes used in the coloring of printing inks, paints, lacquers, rubber, wallpaper and linoleum. The pthalocyaninea are closely related in structure to chlorophyll, the green coloring matter of plants, but scientists have discovered no evidence that they occur la nature. 9 Browder Gets v Four-Year Term New York, Jan. 22.?Earl Russell Browder, Kansas-born American Communist leader, was convioted._of passport fraud In federal court today and sentenced to four years In prison and fined $2,000. The jury of eleven men and a young woman deliberated forty-five minutes after hearing Browder himself plead for his freedom for more than an hour. No other defense was offered. Brushing aside his attorney, George Gordon Battle, Browder took the floor with the statement that he was a corres|?ondence school lawyer. i Sentencp was pronounoed Immediately after the Jury was polled and a defense motion for delay was denied. It specified that\ two-year sentences' on each of two counts must be served consecutively. The, maximum prison sentence would have %een ten ye^rs. Browder, a perennial candidate for political office, was the Communist candidate for president In 1936 and Is aaw a candidate for the seat in congress made vacant by the recent death of Representative Slrovich (Democrat) of New Ytark. >| He was scheduled to speak tonight it a Communist rally billed as a Lenin memorial meeting. Browder presented a defenseless case after acknowledging at the outset that he had traveled incognito to and from conferences with Soviet leaders in Moscow. He was accused specifically of borrowing the names of three other men , and affixing them to passport, visas. This was done, his attorney explained. because as a wldplv known agent of the Soviet union Browder's travels through Europe would be beset by danger if his true identity became known. Browder's conviction, in federal court came only a few weeks after FYitz Kuhn was found guilty In a state court and sent to prison for stealing funds from the German-American bund which he headed.

It is three by Ave miles, Dauphin island, at the entrance to Mobile bay, named by early French settlors for the heir to the throne of France. Governor Frank M. Dixon and tho-: Alabama bridge commission hope to negotiate a $1,000,000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance corporation to construct a bridge from the Mobile mainland three mlldb out to the Isle, thereby making access to it easy for tourists. The bridge project already has been authorized by the 1939 legislature, which added a $10,000 yearly appropriation for its upkeep by the state. The governor and his advisers are making extensive plans for development of the islahd by the state. "We are going to make it one of the most attractive areas on the whole' Gulf Coast," Governor Dixon said. | Present state plans to mak^ the de-, serted island a sport lover's paradise! call for: Exploitation of historic Fort Gaines, which lasrsaw; action in the Civil war ^nd whose old walls in part date back to the Spanish occupation of the Making a shrine Of CadlHhc square, situated almost in the center of the isle. Tjio square once housed the mansion of Governor Cadillac, French viceroy of the Louisiana territory in the early 1700s. Cadillac lived on the isle from 1711 to 1714, when he was , replaced by Crozat as governor and sent to Detroit. Frank Gannett, Rochester, N. Y., publisher and long-time critic of President Roosevelt and the New Deal, announces his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. A 1.000 foot bathing beach for the public at opposite ends of the long isle, also looking over the Gulf. Development of numerous Indian shell mounds. These jjj^sterious hills, located on the Mobile bay side of the island north of the fort, contain handiwork of America's aborlglnees. Enhancing the tourist value of the J Isle, the governor points out, is near-! by Gulf State park, on the mainland} south of Mobile, and the historic city 1 of Mobile Itself. Ik>th places are within easy drive of Dauphin, so that all three fcpuld be included in the Itinerary of tourists seeking the historic as well as the scenic and sporting.
