The difference between the two 1 very
small, jet it accomplikhet truly remarkable
results In tbe economy and operation of the
lamp. In the old open arc type there were

Tbe report of the national board commit
ter on lighting and hratlng ha attracted
a great deal of attention, say the lusuranct
Advocate President Irvin madt upeclal
reference to It and to thr new plan of tbe
board for securing uniformity of artlon ln
repard to protective measure in hi afl
flrcB. remarking that he .believed that much
of the great fire waste of th country wat
traceable to Imperfect electrical Installa
tions Tbe committee pointed out thai the
electrical 'bureau of the board had lurted up
to April 70, 1MI0 5.6f.O tret of electrical
origin, and quoted the Chronicle Art table
tbowlng 8,022 fire. Involving a lout of
tS2,B10,5M during tbe part ten year We
agree wit" the committee that thr danger
hat probably been underestimated ratner
than magnified. We think likely that the
record of electrical fire 1 very lmperfu-.
1 owing to ihe .fact that electric wire art
i mostly oui of sight, under floors and be
j tween wall, so that mure often than not
lt 1 impctisiblt to tract the origin of tht
I fire to a certainty.
Last year tbe national board directed it
executive committee to appoint a rpecial
committer to confer with representative of
the union, S. E T A and other bodle with

, vice in charge of the board The special
committee evolved a plan for the establish
I ment of a board of oouc ulting engineer, to

The two women in thr case have known
' each othrr for srvrral jrart. Mr Torter
1 wa a frequent catler at "Dr " Mary borne,
1 where, of an evening, she va entertalnefl
by tbe acancei given by the latter, at w bleb
' wat produced tht phenomenon Vnown at

friend and relative! of those present were
a.adt to stand forth "in their habit a they

ane fact that tne 'aocior- wat able to
raise from the grave noi only spiriti and
reclothe them in tholr fleshy intepument,
but with parmentt. button, jewelry and
hairpin, war certainly enough to commend
her to a person more skeptical than Mr.
Porter It wat thu that thr eomplainant
acquired confidence in the voodo doctor and

Ndw it happened that .lohn Porter anfl hn
wife Lizzie were parent of three girl, and
r-cre very fler.lrous that tbotr next cbilo

I in such a contingency thu the woman
iihould turn to her mysterious friend. Sbt
I called on the spiritualist anfl stated thi
i caso.
I Te. "Dr." Mary coulfl hi it aTl right
Tor the oaltry consideration of IIP ,br
so that the next accretion to the house
of Porter would br a son. Tbt palm of
thr witch wat crested with the stipulated

Then there wa a wierfl conjuration in

i of a waning moon, a 'black cat. a plateful of
' treElet and a t.mokinp lamp. Tht ru

A LESSON
IOLLAR for aolkr,
more in Ivory Soap than in any household
soap. It is car)- to find a cheap soap; but
to find purity and low price in a single soap
is not easy. They combine in Ivory Soap. You
can afford to use it in the laundry; you can not
afford not to use it elsewhere. It is vegetable-oil
soap, in the cheapest form in which h can be pro
cured. You pay nothing for a fancy box, wrapper
a- perfume. It is all in the soap! It floats.
