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.

HISTORIC DAUPHIN ISLAND
MAY BE A NATIONAL RESORT
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 6.?Alabama
Is looking toward a tiny windswept
lslo In the Gulf o^ Mexico to make it
one of the nation's outstanding reBort
spots.
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.
Gulf State park contains- Fort Morgan,
another stronghold of the old

its neighboring bayous and bays

Mobile, old French oily and once
the capital of tfco Louisiana territory,

atmosphere, fn addition, it is
one of America's busiest ports.
Besides its tropic atmosphere and
magniflcient bathing, Dauphin Isle itself
will offer deep-sea fishing and
