New Bulb With Glow
After Current Is Oft
East Pittsburgh, Pa.—Ordiiiarx
electric bulbs glow only when
wired to electric power and £<>
out instantly when the power is
turned off. In the laboratories
of the Westinghopse Electric
and Manufacturing company
however, Dr. Phillips Thomas
research engineer, has developed
a bulb without wires which
glows when held in a magnetic-
field and continues to glow for
ten minutes after the power is
shut off.
Were such bulbs used for
lighting, a brisk person could
turn out the light in his bed-
room and undress before the
room was dark.
Doctor Thomas produced the
bulb in the course of experi-
ments on power by fsdio. He
says it is not practical, at pres-
ent for general illumination."

Hailed Their Leader
as More Than Human
Capt. John Nicholson, hero of the
suppression by the British of the Se-
poy revolt in India, was worshiped as
a god by the iroyal sifelis. At his
side, ready to his hand, hung the
finest sword in the land, selected by
sikh leaders after months of search-
ing and intricate tests. Often a na-
tive, overcome with the conviction
that Nicholson was divine, would
prostrate himself in adoration, al-
though the penalty for this offense
was three dozen lashes. <';< •.
He ruled his troops with an iron
hand, and once ordered nine conspira-
tors to be blown from the mouths bf
cannons into the faces of the men of
a regiment that had threatened to
rebel. It was said, however, th$st lie
would go into hie tent and weep fol-
lowing such measures.

Deceit
Denver, Colo.—Big game hunting In
Africa may be all right to read about
and talk about, but when it comes to
the actual experience—well, that's an
entirely different story. Take It from
John R. Matty, Denver big game
hunter, that it isn't worth' the effort.
The thrills are there—yes, thrills ga-
lore. In fact, they swra to come in
bunches at times. And then, Matty
Bays, it's rather nice to see a few man
killers fall, and to bring them home as
souvenirs, "to show the friends and
relatives." ' .
But Matty points out that where a
hunter has two minutes of pleasure,
he must put up with two hours of
misery'lbjd hardships. .
"It Just isn't worth the time, mis-
ery, expense, and trouble," Matty as-
serted with emphasis, ,as he reviewed
the discomforts of his^trip into Tan-
ganyika teritory in East Africa.

Matty left Denver last July Re
accompanied on his trip through Tan-
ganyika by one other white man, a
guide, and 75 native porters. They
traveled a distance of about two hun-
dred and seventy-five miles, practically
all of it on foot, and Matty bagged in
all five lions, a seventy-year-old five-
ton bull elephant, three batfaloes. two
rhinos, a hippopotamus, and several
Species of antelope and gazelle.
He had hair-raising experiences, aud
on at least two occasions narrowly es-
caped with his life. At one time, al-
though he did not know it until later,
the huge hull elephant he had wounded
with several bullets followed him for
several miles, awaiting an opportunity
to charge. On another occasion, with
a ferocious African buffalo charging,
his rifle jammed.
Matty thought for a moment that b
was all up with hkn. The guide ran
to his assistance, however, with an-
other gun, and Matty felled the animal
ten feet away.
It took 17 days to "get" .the big ele-
phant which, when finally downed,
carried 11 bullets and. the old scars of
16 other shQtp from hunters' guhs.
"Downing a , tiger is jitfld sport 1
think, "in , comparison wftb battling
some of thjegi^ntic eleilptiant,s'" Matty
said. "SChe, African buffalo, if given
the chance, $i.l?gore a jijjftn to death

merely pulled down his earmoffs
tighter and set oat from Chatanika.
Alaska, to deliver letters t
greeting to the people of Circle. Be-
fore he got there he had severely
frozen his hands and feet.
Sitting in her living room by the
Sre in a comfortable home in Nor-
valk. Conn., a woman read in the
newspapers about Jewell's sacrifice
and decided he ought to be rewarded.
Then, some time later, she also read
about Maurice O'Leary, another Alas-
kan carrier of mails; how he froze his
hand? and feet rescuing his horse
which broke through the ice whiie they
cvere going over their lonely route, and
had to have some of his fingers am-
putated.

moved her. Thorson battled blizzard-

children are superior to city reared

farmers' children was most pronounced
at the age of thirteen.
The survey included 20,000 tow*

the extent it should be. It has he-
come so easy to take down the re-
ceiver and talk to any place or
person desired that the public is be-
ginning tc overlcc!: the value of
telephone service.
Telephone development lias been
so rapid that telephone patrons
know very little of the achieve-
ments in improving and extending
service except that from year ta
year it has become increasingly
easier to talk and that additional
uses of the telephone, saving both
time and effort, are arising daily.
Every year the people of the
United States talk more over the
telephone than thpy did the year
before. Statistics show thai we
talk more over the telephone than *
any other country in the world, and
that our country has more tele- r
phones than all the rest of the
world ee:r.bi;:"d. For every hun-
dred persons in the United Stntes
there are fifteen telephones. Every
minute day and night 50,000 tele-
phone bells are ringing somewhere
in our country.
The Telephone Comnany is con-
tinuing to make it still more easy
to talk by improvements in a&|
branches of the industry. The com-*§
panics that comprise the Bell Sys-
tem are this year spending $1,000,-
000 a day for improvements asd
additions to their facilities
Many new conveniences in tel«
phone service are becoming avail
able to the public. Most of the.;
crack express trains in this coun-
try are now connected with a
nation-wide telephone system up ta
the last minute "before their depar-
ture. A telephone in every state-
room has become standard equij^

Improvement in Ion? distances

two-number or station-to-statkm
