INSULATOR FOR 'PHONE LINE
Invention of Texas Man Renders Corv

Tho Scientific American in describ
ing an Insulator, invented by O. C.
Mouaebach of San Antonio, Texas,
says:
Tho moro particular purpose of tho
Inventor is to provldo an Insulator
Bultablo for uso upon tolophono and
telegraph lines, as well a3 upon lines
for general sorvico of various kinds, a
special object being to improve tho
Line Insulator.

8ome Applications of Lrght Will Da
for Street Oerles Lighting Ideal
fo'r Motion Pictures.
(Br J. F. RANKIN, Colorado Agricul
tural College.)
After long and laborious research,
lamp manufacturers announco that
they will soon placo on tho murkot a
new tungsten lamp, known technically
as tho nitrogen-filled lamp. Nitrogen
provonts evaporation of tho tungston
filament and thus allows tho lamp to
bo operated at a much higher temper
ature. This moans that tho offlclency
of tho now lamp is very much higher,
twlco that of tho tungsten lamp wo
aro now using. At present tho lamp
will bo avallablo only In largo sizes,
1,000 c. p. or largor. Tho filament em
ployed must bo Bhort and comparative
ly heavy, so that tho lamp must bo
operated nt low voltago though tho
current through the filament is cor
respondingly high.
Somo of tho applications of this
lamp will bo for street series lighting,
whero it may soon replaco arc lamps
entirely for any largo interior whoro
large mounting heights aro avallablo
and for projection lanterns, head
lights, etc. It should bo an Ideal light
for motion picture work.
Tho quality of tho light produced by
those new lamps is nearly that of day
light. It Is posslblo by use of a special
absorption screen to roproduco day
light conditions with a consumption
of two watts per candle pow.or.

Old Pop Time is a mighty formid
able foo, but records show that many
athletes, In many different divisions,
havo glvon him somo long and floret;
tussles before tho rofereo finally
counted them out, whllo others, nfter
nearly a score of years In active serv
ice, arc still waging a merry little
battle against their unbeatable enemy.
Thero is no division in athletics
that uses up a man's vitality so much,
nono that makes a young man age so
fust, nono that is so strenuous as
pugilism. It calls for everything there
Is in a man eveiy moment ho Is in a
battle, and practically every battlo
robs him of a little moro of his nat
ural strength, and leaves him just a
llttlo easier for Pop Time to con
quer. Yet, hero is Bob FitzslmmonB, now
nearlng his fifty-second milestone,,
back In tho ring again, and showing!
much of the speed and tho ability that
mado a champion. Bob began fight
ing in 1891, yet a few nights back,
Just about 23 years after his first en
try In tho ring, ho swapped punches
with a youthful nni husky "white
hopo" and gave thatJ"wlilto hope" a
very Impressive beating.
Then there's Jim Corbott, another
ex-champion, who defied Old Pop
Time for 17 years, and quit tho fight
ing game, not so much becauso Pop
forced him out of It, as to avail him
self of an opportunity to go on the
"stolge."
Kid McCoy, who began lighting soon
after tho fall of the Roman empire,
and who recessed In his efforts a few
years back, Is in Paris now attempting
a "come-back" despite tho fact that
loving friends are trying to lure liim
Into tho Old Men's home.
Some months before going to that
gay European city, McCoy coaxed
threo alleged fighters Into tho ring
in tho United States, and, according
to reports, disposed of tho trio in a
total of eight rounds allowing ono to
remain on his pedals three rounds,
another four roundB, and sending the
third party to tho mat In less than
two minutes.
Battling Nelson, who began retir
ing about six years ago, Is still walk
ing around with his chin oxpqsed,
with a terriblo look in his lookers,
and vowing that ho can wallop the
best men in his division, dosplto tho
fact that ho has been fighting for 14
years.
"Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien Is an
other gont, who, after 15 yoar$ of
sorvico in the ring, has decided 'hat
Old Pop TJmo hasn't conquered him
yet. Just now Jack is bade in train
ing, and vows that soon ho'll got a
match and show tho world at laro
that ho's even better than when ho
was In Ids prime.
