power, when actually In the horizontal
direction they only gave les3 than a
quarter of that Intensity.'
"Our lamps In . use on Portland's
streets, which are of the magnetite
type, show an Increase in candle-power
of 69 per cent over the old style of
lamps, which the Executive Board In
sists were better than the latest de
velopment In street lighting."
AMERICAN ARMY LIFE.
Arc Lamps Sow Used in City Streets
Said to Be 60 Per Cent Stronger
In Candle-Power Than
the Old Type.
That the city Is getting better street
lights, which give more candle-power
than ever before in Its history,- not
withstanding the contention of the
Mayor and Executive Board that the
candle-power is less than under the
old lighting system, Is the assertion of
President Josselyn, of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company.
President Josselyn backs up his con
tention with actual figures that were
presented along this same line at the
recent convention of the National Elec
tric Light Association, which mei in
Chicago recently.
The figures President Josselyn quotes
were arrived at after the most cure
ful tests of arc lights In the various
American cities by means of the pho
tometer, an instrument for measuring
the candle-power of electric lights.
The results from 15,000 observations
were shown at this convention, and
the practical nature of the observa
tions and their great extensiveness
make them of much value.
Hard to Measure Power.
"In the old days it was very diffi
cult to measure the Candle-power of
electric lights." said President Jos
selyn, "and the Imagination supplied
the vacancy left by the lack of agree
ment between the measurements of
different observers. Because a certain
type of open arc lamp was found oc
casionally to approach 2000 candles In
the most favored direction, with the
best of attention in the laboratory, it
was unfortunately named and classi
fied industrially as a 2000-candle-power
lamp.
"The report at the National Electric
Light Association convention recounted
these facts and that a committee of ex
perts In 1S94 agreed that the 2000-candle-power
arc was such In name only,
and classified It as a lamp which con
sumed 450 watts at terminals. As a
matter of fact, it was agreed at this
convention that in the horizontal posi
tion along the street, these lamps gave
only about 350 candle-power. They
poured the light into a, ring almost im
mediately underneath them, but they
were very weak in the direction along
the street where they were most
needed by pedestrians and drivers.
Basis of Present Tests.
"The 450-watt rating was rendered
useless In time, because of the fact
that better lamps were developed that
gave more candle-power along the
street, while at the same time they
consumed less than the required 450
watts. In 1906 a committee was named
by the association to reconsider the
whole question, and it recommended
that the candle-power rating of lamps
be abandoned and replaced by a rating
of normal illumination at a distance
along the street of from 200 to 300 feet
from beneath the lamp.
"In speaking on the report rendered
at the Chicago convention, the Elec
tric World, in Its issue of May 30, says:
'The observations show that the nor
mal Illumination at 250 feet from be
neath the lamp tested reached as high
as 0.012 foot-candle In particular t?sts
of the magnetite lamp, corresponding
to 750 candles in the lamp, down to
as low as 0.002 foot-candle in particu
lar tests of the 9.6-ampere direct cur
rent series open arc lamps, correspond
ing to 125 candles the same type of
lamp that had an original rating of
2000 candles. Average values reported
were equivalent to 575 candle-power
for the magnetite lamp, 410 candle
power for the 6.6 ampere direct cur
rent series enclosed carbon lamp, and
340 candle-power for the 9.6-ampere
direct current series open carbon lamp.
Had arc-light photometry been devel
oper earlier the lamps then used would
not have been nu.med 2000 nunnia.
Interesting Xew Book by Mrs. Ellen
McGowan Biddle.
The Oregonlan has been favored with
a copy of "Reminiscences of a Soldier's
Wife." written by Mrs. Ellen McGowan
Biddle, wife of Brigadier-General Bid
die, U. S. A., retired. The book Is a
most intimate view of army life as it
Is known in inner circles in this coun
try, and so social and kindly Is the de
scriptive style used" that it almost
seems that Instead of meeting these
distinguished Americans within the
covers of this .book, you were actually
meeting them In Mrs. Biddle's drawing-room.
Her husband was a brave
officer in the Civil War, and he was
also actively engaged in the various
Indian campaigns in the West. .
Mrs. Biddle belongs to a well-known
American military family. Her great-great-grandfather,
William Butler, was
with Washington at Braddock's de
feat: her father gave willing service
to his country for 50 years, and her
husband, brother and son have also
been conspicuous In army life. Scan
ning the pages more closely, thers's an
aristocratic atmosphere about the book,
because it details the interesting ex
periences of an American woman of
gentle birth and breeding.
When the Biddies were stationed at
Camp Halleck, they met Colonel Ned
Baker, of this state, and this reference
Is made on page 87: "We met tome
pleasant people at this post; Colonel
Ned Baker, son of the gallant General
Baker, of Oregon, and his charming
wife from Tennessee. He was one of
the most generous, big-hearted men I
ever knew. Everyone was fond of him,
and his death some years later was
universally regretted."
The military portraits given in Mrs.
Biddle's book will be especially recog
nized by many in the various military
posts of this part of the country.

Japnneap Cook Dlnnpprovra Habit
of Man Left to Conduct Household,
lturlng 'Abaence of Family.
A LOCAL newspaper man who kept
house for friends while the family
visited San Francisco ahd welcomed the
Atlantic fleet Is laboring under some
embarrassment because of strained rela
tions between himself and the Japanese
cook. He kept house all right, but the
cook looked upon him with suspicion,
and finally refused to prepare his meals.
He thereupon offered the cook J2 if he
would get his breakfasts during the
week that would Intervene before the re
turn of the householders.
The newspaper man kept most unholy
hours, and this vexed the cook. He' came
home at any hour of the night or early
morning, and one night he brought home
a brother of the newspaper craft to
spend the night. Thereupon the Jap re
fused to cook and the $2 offer followed.
Besides, a girl called the newspaper man
up one day by telephone, and this an
noyed the Oriental still more.
Upon the return of the family the
newspaper man was explaining at dinner
how nicely he got along with Che Jap
cook, and how smoothly the wheels had
been kept going during the owners" ab
sence. When desert was brought in the
son of Nippon, with a flourish, laid a
huge note on the newspaper man's plate
and withdrew.
The newspaper man had misgivings, but
tried to look cheerful, and sought to
smuggle the billet into his pocket unob
served. But the daughter of the house,
her curiosity aroused, asked why he car
ried on a correspondence with the cook.
Assuming Indifference which he was far
from feeling, the scribe handed over the
note to the girl, who read it aloud. It
bore the following legend:
"A. C. K., Honorable Sir: Ten days. I
work for you in this month. You re
member that? I think you are forget.

Efforts of the Local Society Extend
to Various Mediums for Handi
craft Influence of Movement
on Morals of Society.
BY ARTHUR A. GREENE.
A devoted few cultured men and women
are fighting the devil of ugliness here in
Portland through the agency of the so
ciety of Arts and Crafts. They are mak
ing progress, too, in the work of leading
the public taste toward th.3 gods 'of the
good and the true and the beautiful. The
excellence of their work and its results
is made plain to those who attended the
exhibition which has been in progress at
the art museum for the few weeks last
past. It is the first one yet attempted
by the local society but it shows little
evidence of being an experiment.
The variety of it is an agreeable sur
prise, for it covers a wide range of the
crystalized efforts of trained hands and
appreciative brains. It is a source of
considerable satisfaction to know that
much of the work was done by our
own people. The Portland pioneers in this
work have wrought very well Indeed, for
the movement is new and the trails only
just blazed.
In common with many others I was
in profound Ignorance of the significance
of the Arts and Crafts movement here
until yesterday when under the illumi
nating guidance of Mrs. Hugh Hume,
who has probably done more for the
cause locally than any other, I saw the
exhibit and learned something of what
It means.
It Is a good mission to create and fos
ter an interest In anything that makes
for betterment in whatever it may be.
If there had been a devoted little cru
sading band of Arts and Crafts enthu
siasts we would never have gone through
that Reign of Terror which lasted from
the middle of the last century well into
the '80s and has left a legacy of ugly
sights even to this day and generation.
The Black Walnut Era who does not
shudder yet with the recollection of
horsehair upholstery, morgue-slabs of
white marble topping the Inevitable
"center" table with its equally inevitable
family album and "Red Line" copy of
"Lucile"? Who has not awakened In
the depths of night and felt grateful that
the nightmare of wax flowers and en
large crayon portraits on the walls Is a
thing of unpleasant memory?
The man who Invented the "Queen
Anne" style of arci..iecture, which was
the arch-crime of that time of hideous
taste, would probably have suffered a
deservedly violent death at the hands of
outraged Arts and Crafters had they been
up and doing then as they are now.
The movement Is making people better,
for the betterment of public taste means
the betterment of public morals.
The ugliness of Vice and the beauty
of Virtue Is no mere figure. If the grass
and trees were the same colors some of
us paint our houses, life would be one
wild orgy for u week and then the vio,
lent ward of the universe. How long
would virtue and reason last in a pink
or cerise world?
Well, it is to reform the world of its
sins of bad taste, to restore the good
old, nearly lost art of making useful
things with human hands, hands which
have a heart and mind and a soul to
urge them on. Labor-saving machinery
has made trusts, and a well satisfied
nouveau rlche with capon-lined stomachs,
'tis true, but It has been the oppressor
and foe to the hand craftsman and su
perseded his honesty In manufacturing
with fraud and bunco.
It has corrupted public taste. Some
things, like wooden nutmegs and family
heirlooms, may well be machine made,
but the touch of a band on the finer
things. Jewelry, book bindings, pottery,
sliver and the . like, leaves its unmistak
able mark.
It Is reform work that Mrs. Hume and
her associate Arts and Crafts workers
are doing. Edward Bruns, a Portland
man who does wonderful things; Clem,
entine HJrsch, Helen Eastham and
others who have worked o effectively
