How Defect in Carbon
Causes Light to Flare
The Niagara Falls Chamber of Com¬
merce says that tlie lights which il¬
luminate Niagara falls are operated
with a carbon arc which is automatic¬
ally fed throughout the period of
lighting. The carbon is good for
about two hours and a half. During
perfect operation there is no flare in )
the lamp, the carbon being perfectly
adjusted and its content being pure.
Under such conditions (here is an in¬
tensive arc which is reflected front
mirrors find concentrated to establish
the great amount of light given by
one of these projectors. However,
wiien the carbon is being fed toward
the arc a slight Imperfection or a
small particle of foreign matter will
cause a flame. This flame is only oc¬
casional. Probably there are few ear-
1 , ons that will not cause some flame,
hut the amount of flame seen depends
upon the quality , of the carbon used.
With reference to the power of these
lights, each unit ranges from 8 O.O 00 .
00 O to better than 1O0,000,000 candle
power, depending upon the adjust¬
ment of the lights and the concentra¬
tion of tin* ray. It is perfectly lights possi- j
hie to step one of lhe>e up to ;
200,000.000 candlepower. The aver- j
age amount of illumination which is is j
secured from the entire battery

CITY HIT CY SERIES
OF UNUSUAL CRIMES
Omaha Visited by Three
Strange Criminal Types.
Omaha. Neb.—Three strange crim¬
inal types—two of them killers, the
other a kidnaper with a madman's
method—have visited upon Omaha
during the Inst six years a series of
particularly frightful crimes.
Just now if is Hie “hatchet man.”
who killed five persons. Three years
before him it was “iho sniper,” mid
in 11)22 it was the "chain nmn”—hitt¬
er, kidnaper and imd man.
The sniper, Frank ('.trier, went to
tin? electric chair last year. The
chain man, Fred Brown, was shot
dead in Idl'd during a riot at the state
penitentiary where he was serving a
life sentence for kidnaping.
To the ttnal moments of -Ids life
“the sniper" was a strange mixture of
braggadocio and fearlessness. Many
said he was crazy. He was a puzzle
to psychologists. IBs “craving for
pubiiciiy," as. M. Androasen of Hie
state prison welfare society put it,
“was such as to make him try any¬
thing to get inio the papers.”
Boasted on Way to Chair.
10 ven as lie walked to the chair,
the sniper jeered and boasted.
“They say I killed three." he said
as the slow trend of his death march
counted oil his remaining moments
of life. “Three? Why, I tiave killed
■ 12 !”
The Villesca (Iowa) ax murders
one of (tie most revolting chapters of
Iowa criminal records, were among
tin* crimes which the sniper paraded
us his own work.
Carter operated during the early
hours of evening, whereas the hatch
et. man chose that time of night Just
before dawn. During the fortnight
that Carter was abroad in Omaha,
claiming three lives with ids silencer
equipped pistol, fear of Ids marks¬
manship kepi many persons off the
streets during the evening hours.
The specific crime for which Carter
qpis convicted was the slaying of an
Omaha physician.
Fred Brown, the "ehafn man,” came
to Omaha trailed by a crime record
which included a conviction .for a
murder commuted niton lie was six
teen years old. lie was free on parole
from a life sentence imposed upon hint
for that crime.
Women Kept Chained.
Two young women were Browu’s
victims here, lie kidnaped and traus
ported them to a shack at the edge
of the city. There they were kept
chained while ho went about, othei
crimes, including the plundering ol
Omaha homes.
A map. finding the women chained
In the shack, set about freeing them
but was himself overpowered by
Brown and placed in irons. This man
later escaped, and Brown (led. He
was captured shortly afterward and
sentenced to life imprisonment.
Of this trial of abnormal crimes
only the hatchet slayings remain tip
sA.ed and the guilty person, or per
sons unpunished.
't hree of the hatchet victims—an
aged drayman, a young mother and
her si si or—were beaten to death as
they slept.
China Grants Widows
Right to Remarry
Peking.— Young widows are being
encouraged 10 marry again by the au
thurifies.
In the old days, when the Son ol
Heaven sat on his dragon throne,
widows were rewarded for their vows
• >f celibacy by seeing their names in
stone tablets' sanctioned by the ent
neror. That is entirely too old-fash
ioned to suit the young Chinese of
today.
Superstitious ads of filial piety, in
the hope of curing tlie sickness of a
parent, will not earn the commenda¬
tion of the Nationalist regime, sucli
practices being classed as unworthy
along with the ancient custom by
which young widows refused to re¬
marry.
