Electric Light |
With the Color |
of Candle Light
new
The “candle flame” lamp
demonstrated at the recent convention |
of the Illuminating Engineering So-
ciety was so admirable in its effects,
says the Electrical World, that we are
naturally led to reflections concerning
the practical usefulness of this type |
f lanmp in domestic lighting as well
a = lighting of ballrooms and similar
i It is quite certain that a great |
many people, especially women, think
that the metallic-filament lamp gives
a light of somewhat too glaring white- |
ness. When, about two years ago, a
committee of the National Electric
Light Association was investigating
the question of toning lamps for color
it seemed to eb the general judgment
of those to whom samples were sub-
mitted a light even somewhat more
distant from white than that of the
carbon incandescent lamp was desir-|
able, something indeed approximating
the kerosene flame of earlier days.
The results of practical experience on
a considerable scale in Chicago seems
to confirm this judgment.
a
The candle-flame lamp now brought
out meets the color requirement very
beautifully, and moreover the coating
given to the bulb is permanent in hue
even when used in the gts-filed lamps,
thus possessing a virtue which most
of the earlier experimental lamps did
not have in a reloable degree. The
loss in efficiency by the color-toned
diffusing coating is relatively small,
the specific consumption being
than hanf that of a carbon lamp of
anything near the same color. Indeed,
the efficiency is equal to that of ihe
earlier tungsten lamps. The eye is
astonishingly s ensitive to small
changes of hue, so that the cutting out
even in small part, of a stronglp col-
ored componentof the light changes
the appearance very greatly for a com-
paratively slight absolute absorption.
It would seem that the new lamp
micht make a rather important place
for itself inasmuch as it accomplishes
with small loss of light the same ve-
sult that is now sought by the use of

Jersey Hunters
Expect Many Deer
Woodstown, N. J.—Finishing touch-
es were given last week to the many
hunting camps in Cape May, Atlantic
and Cumberland counties and every-
thing seems ready for the opening of
the deer season this week. Wednes-
day will find hundreds of men flock-
ing to the timber in all sections
through the district where the deer
shooting is carried on. What the kill
will amount to this season is a ques-
tion. In some of the loctlities the
deer are reported to be more plentiful
than in year, while in other sections
few are being seen. Old hunters are
rather inclined to the belief that the
stories of depredations to farm lands
by the deer in the spring and summer
were pretty well exaggerated and that
when it comes to counting heads hunt-
ers will be lucky if they equal the kill
of a year ago. This is the eleventh
hour opinion of men who have stalked
the deer country season after season
and are presumably as well versed in
the meaning of pre-season signs as it
is possible for men to become.
There is another side of the picture,
however, an dfor those who will en-
joy the deer hunt more if enlivened by
vivid expectations all they have to do
is to listen intently and they will go
forth freighting about as much of that
commodity as they can accommodate.
From Atlantic Ciunty comes reports
that deer abound even in sections
where in the past they have been rare-
ly seen. Similar reports are heard
from certain sections in Burlington
county. Then those circulating from
Cape May County bases would sug-
oest that the kill there will be some-
thing phenomenal. Just who is re-
sponsible for these reports is uncer-
tain. There is a feeling, however,
that they eminate from farming cen-
ters where the desire exists to concen-
trate in the vicinity as many hunters
as possible that the clean out of deer
may be made as complete as possible.
Deer Disposed to Be Lazy
A final source of information which
should be reloable is the game warden
and from what they are giving out it
now looks like a normal seaon with
such advantages in favor of a slightly

At a time when increased facilities
are needed for removing ashes, due to
the universal use of heating equipment
that is idle during the summer, the
added motor equipment necessary is |
obtained by mounting relatively inex-
pensive bodies on the more
idle if the design did not include the
convertible feature. It was formerly
necessary to lay up flushers

thus representing a considerable loss

do they call “zoo hounters.”

It is impossible to estimate the num-

trails with the opening of the season,
but from what those interested in mak-
ingements for the hunters are
giving out, it seemg fair to
| that not less than 500 shooters will be
on hand when the season opens. Of
course, they will be scattered all over

In this connection arrangements
have been made for quick service to
hospitals from all of the larger centers.
In addition the majority of the physi-
cians and surgeons will remain at
home or take turns in joining the hunt.
Many of the clubs include among their
members medical men who come to

services required.
season is that, while in Ptnnsylvania
the number of hunters afoot since the
deer shooting season opened has been
greater than ever before, yet in com-
parison with this the number of acci-
dent and especially those of a fatal
character is seeminly below the aver:
age . This is due, it is understood to
the better management of the hunts
and as every prtcaution has been
taken in Jersey to awaken a
first policp among the members of the
hunting clubs it is believed that a
smaller record can be made on this
side of the river.
Among the hunters will be an in-
creased number of women. During
the past two weeks sporting goods
houses have reported the largest sale
ever made by them to women. They
will come prepared to go into the tim-
ber and take their places on the sands
with the men. What kind of a record
they will make no one seems to doubt.
It is to be conceded, of course, that
safety
most of the women shooters who will
hit the deer trails have had experience
in killing smaller game and are there-
fore familiar with shot guns. Among
the fugitive facts connected with their
appearance in the ranks of the deer
slayers is the preference they show for
the pump gun.
Taht steps will be taken by the farm-
ers to secure a closed season of sev-
eral years during which the quail will
be protected against hunters is as-
sured. At the recent meeting of the
State Grange a resolution was unani-
mously adopted calling for such action
on the part of the Legislature. The
theory is that the birds are needed on
the farms in protecting them against
5 | insect pests more than on ihe broil-
ers of clubs and city home kitchens.
The quail kill this season is said to
have little less than exterminated the
birds. This happened despite the post-
ing of thousands of acres of land by

| food available to keep the deer from

i all of these conditions can be changed
{ almost over night. A few days of
| freezing weather and the ground will
have hardened. There will be no sap
in twigs that now bend noiselessly
underfoot. The remaining food supply
will shorten up and the deer will take
to trailing in search of fresh supplies.
It will mean more activity all round.
Many hunters are hoping that such
conditions will develop before the sea-
son becomes old.

light snow falls, but the snow was not

means of its disk. Sooner would the

than give up its grip.
A ring, which is attached to the tail
of the fish, in which a string is fast-
