The new school board met for organi
sation on Monday evening. After the
old board had adjourned sine die, tem
porary organization was effected with
John J. Barrett as president, and J.
W. Beck as secretary. The new mem
bers, Henry Myers, who succeeds him
self from the First ward; James F. Mc
Andrew, from the Second ward; Mi
chael Toolln, who succeeds himself,
and Henry W. Probst, who succeeds
John J. Corcoran, resigned, from the
Third, and presented their certificates
of election and were admitted to mem
bership. The board then proceeded to
permanent organisation. John J. Bar
rett was elected president without op
position, Mr. Myers having declined,
John W. Beck was without a rival for
the secretaryship. For treasurer
Thomas Price was named by Mr. Beck
and T. F. O'Hara was nominated by
Mr. Toolln. Mr. Price was elected, he
having secured the votes of Barrett,
Beck, Myers, Probst and Price. The
other four members of the board, Too
lln, O'Rourke, O'Hara and McAndrew,
voted for Mr. O'Hara. Tax Collector
Phllbln presented a statement of his
accounts with the district, which, he
said, he was prepared to settle as soon
as his exoneration list had been ap
proved by the board. A committee
was then appointed to examins the
list Messrs. Price, O'Hara and Mc-
Andrew compose the committee. ' The
tax levy for the coming year was also
briefly considered and the statement
was made that another butlding may
be necessary to accommodate the large
number of children that may be obliged
to attend school if the 'Fair bill Is
operative. The directors were of the
opinion that the matter should be-seriously
considered before the rate of
taxation is fixed and art ion was de
ferred until next Monday evening,
when the board will meet aain.
There bad been a great deal f stwcu
lation us to who would be the officers
of the school hoard for the year Just
beginning and many "slates" wrre
fixed and broken during the past week.
The result was in the nature of a com
promise. Mr. Barrett professed sur
lise over his election and said that the
presidency was not sought by him. He
said h would try, to do his duties
faithfully and Impartially. The
boron ch council held a very business-like
session on Monday even
ing. All the members except Mr.
Lane were present and President Jones
presided. A petition for a fire plujr
was presented .by a number of the
residents of North Main street and It
was referred to the water committee.
There was also a request that four arc
lights be erected on the Ridge. This
wus referred to the light committee.
A petition asking for the appointment
of a chief and assistant policeman to
do duty on the First ward caused con
siderable discussion. The council
seemed Inclined to favor the Idea, but
hesitated because of the expense. It
was Jinally referred to a commute
consisting of the burgess. President
Jones and Councilman Hunt. This pe
tition afforded an opportunity for Mr.
McNulty, of the Cltisen. to make a
vigorous address. In which he sustained
the petitioners and urged the council
to take favorable action on their ap
peal. His sentiments wore endorsed In
the main by President Jones and Coun
cilman Behle and Wagner. Borough
Attorney Battenberg. whose opinion
was requested as to the advlsahlllty of
accepting the new road leading to
Scott from the southern end of the bor
ough and of abandoning the northern
road, thought that the step could bo
taken with every prospect of success
and he was directed to do whatever was
necessary to bring about thut result.
He also referred to the report of the
commission appointed to fix the bound
ary between Carbondale township and
Archbald and thought It would be a
good Idea to erect marking stones so
that further trouble growing out of the
boundary may bo avoided. This mat
ter was ao referred to a committee.
The new ordinances read twice at a
former meeting of the council, passed
final reading.

COTTON SPINNING IN JAPAN.
w'e Robert P. Porter, from Japan:
The cotton spinning of Japan ha an
excellent outlook. In 1881 the number
of eplndles was 370,000, but Increased
to 630,000 In 189r. The average net profit
per spindle, which was 2.97 yen for th
first half of last year. Increased to S.779
yen In the second half. The largest
profit per spindle was 6.761 yen. while
the smallest was not less than 70 ren.
These spindles turned out 12,718.751
pounds of yarn. The raw cotton con
sumed was 15,916,033 pounds. The aver
age price of the yarn for the month
was 9.45 yen per bale of 400 poiir.ds.
Here we have an average profit of.

who know declare that by the close of
the year, or early In 1S!C Jar.r.n will
have about 1.500.000 yplndles In opera

TRYING TO IMITATE DAYLIGHT
The Achlevrmeats of Eelisoa, Tests
and .Hooio and the Relative Value
of Their Lipht-.Kflects Likely to
Follow Among the Common 1'ecple.
From the Philadelphia Record.
A characteristic of true genius la
found isi the oigiiiaiity In methods
adopted of accomplishing the same
result. An Illustration of this Is found
In the work of Edison, Tesla and D.
Macfcrlane Moore, a young electrician,
in the direction of producing a light
which will be more efficient than the
present incandescent lamp. Invented
by Mr. Ldlson. Each has succeeded In
a manner, how far remains to be seen,
and each has attained this result
through widely different means. While
the Incandescent lamp Is a satisfactory
lllumlnant. It Is well known that the
greater part of the energy of the elec
tric current producing the light is ex
pended In useless heat, and It la the
present object of several Inventors to
obtain a more efficient and hence less
expensive method of transforming the
energy of the electric current Into light
energy.
EPOCH IN'ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
The last decade of this century is
apparently to be an epoch-making one
in elec trical science. No discovery since
the invention of the telephone has cre
ated so much public expectation and
enthusiasm about electric science as
has the discovery ofg the X-rays.
Mr. Edison now comes to the front
and announces that he has discovered
means whereby he Is able to employ,
these invtsable rays for tee production
of light, and this with an expenditure
of energy very much less than that at
tained by the present incandescent
lighting system. It Is well known that
Mr. Edison Is the Inventor of the com
mercial system of Incandescent lght
lng generally employed, and, conse
quently, his alleged statement that the
new system Is capable, tn his opinion,
of commercial development must com
mand wide attention. Mr. Edison's
new lamp consists of an ordinary .glass
bulb, highly exhausted, and supplied
with two small metal discs, such as
he employed for the production of the
X-rays. The Inside of this bulb, how
ever, is crated with a crystalline sub
stance, something like calcium tungs
lute, the exact nature of which
Mr. Edison is not yet ready t:i dlsclofe,
but which fluoresces strongly when
subjected to the action of the X-rays.
The apparatus which supplies the elec
tric current Is also the same as he em
ployed for the production of X-rays. In
fact, the system Is a method of con
verting the X-rays Into light. The new
lamp, Mr. Edison states, takes a cur
tent of two amperes at three-tenths of
a volt, or an activity or six-tenths of a
watt when giving light of one candle
power. An ordinary sixteen candle
power incandescent lamp requires
about 15 or 50 watts. Mr. Kdlson statfs
that the spectrum of the new light has
p. lower rufranglbility than the arc
light or the Welbl ach gas mnntl-f, and,
therefore, approaches more nearly to
ordinary daylight. The lamps he has
so fir constructed are are only of
about four-candle power, hut the crtn-dle-power
is merely a matter of con
struction, almost any degree of Illu
mination being obtainable by lart;er
bulbs and more powerful currents.
The inventor states t'.tat these limps
In the prc.Ttit state "of development
are three and a hp If flint's as efficient ns
the best commercial lamps. The cur
rent employed Is obtained from the
second-try of an induction coll, tl.e
primary current of which Is dirrnpted
about -M times a second. Mr. Kdison
Is now devoting his onlli" Attention to
pf rfwtlng the coiriitrurtn 'f the l'imp
and tl.i irenncr of applying the flu ir
esclng crystals, as we'l as a Mlmpllflca
tion. If p-.ssti lo, In the current-pto-ducing
apparatus. The substance em
ployed as tN; lliinri suing crystals Is
5tated by Mr. Edison to. be a chap,
nbundiint and well-known mineral.
Experiments r.iaoe to determine the
fjosM'.MHty of operating these Iamp In
rmlUple circuit tnnnectton, rs employ
ed for Incandescent lights, have been
successful.
MR. TErfLA'S EFFORTS.
Mr. Tetda several years age announc
ed that it was his belief a m ire eftielent
system of electric llchtlntr would be
; found, pnd he tin n rhowd some verv
beautiful nnd wonderful experiments In
, v-" mm ' li r. Mt-fctPig, urfinr high-frequency,
hlgh-fottntlRl currents. The
tiefiti'iny .)iji,,yfd by Telsn In
these experiments was many hundred
' thousands -pr second. By means of
these cuiTentf nnd ordinary highly ex
hausted vacuum tubes he wa able to
! set In vlbratlan the molecules cf the res
j Idual atmi-s;'here of the bulbs, produc
1 lng a light without appreciable heat.
I Lately Mr. Ttlsa bar announced that
: he hn. made pmprf 9 fpr beyond v.-hRt
he even dared to hope, and that he has
J a system now which approaches ccm-
merciat requirements. As a rroof of his
advancement Mr Tesla recently per
mitted the reproduction of a photograph
cf himself taken with a two seconds'
exposure. This photograph certainly
shows up all the'dPtalls In th sun
shine photogrph. and moreover, he
states that this picture was taken with
tho light given by a bulb of very small
dimensions. Unfortunately, however,
Mr. Tesln hns as yet published no de
tails as to the amount of energy requir
ed, or the exact method by which he
attains his result Suffice to say, he
claims a very high efficiency for his ap
paratus. WHAT MOORE HAS DONE.
Ptlll another Inventor In the direction
of the production of cold light is a young
eiecincoi engineer. Mr. D. McFarlan
j Moore, who exhibition of the new sys
tem of lighting attracted so much at
, tentlon at the New York Electrical ex
position, and It Is said that the results
secured by him and demonstrated at
, the exposition were the means of spur
! ring on the older Investigators. Edison
! and Tesla.' His nubile experiments
proved even more popular than the X
ray exhibit.
Mr. Moore recently appeared before
the American Institute of Electrical En
gineers, and for the first time In the his
tory of electrical science lighted the
hall of the Institute with his vacuum
tubes. There were In all twenty-seven
tubes, each seven feet, six Inches long
by one and three-fourths Inches In dia
