Even Huerta Envoys Favor Giving Carranza Faction Hearing. TVAahfnfi'tnn Tuna 9. AmAiHpAn rtalA. Ctes to the Mexican mediation confer ence at Niagara Falls were in Ire quent communication .today with the Washington government. It was de clared In official circles that the burden of the communication related to the hitch In the progress of negotia tions which has arisen since the note was sent last week to the South American mediators, outlining the po sition of the Mexican constitutional ists. It further was reported that the matter of recognizing or rejecting rep resentatives of the constitutionalists now was squarely up to the mediators themselves. What will ' be the outcome of the deliberations over the new element injected Into the proceedings was not predicted by offlcltls of the govern ment here, but messages were receiv ed from observers at Niagara Falls that the Huerta delegates had not looked with disfavor upon the emis sary from Carranza bearing the mes sage outlining his position. It was stated, in fact, that General Huerta's representatives had regarded the de velopment with a .degree of favor, as indicating hope for future peace in Mexico, and that they had determin ed to leave the matter of receiving constitutionalists into the conference entirely to the South American en voys. That Justice Lamar and Mr. Leh mann, representing the United States, have been urging recognition of Car ranxa, seemed more apparent than ever in Washington tonight. - The president would not discuss for publication today any phase of the Mexican problem. Although he re newed audiences with the newspaper correspondents, the president let it be known that he could not talfc-about Mexico, in view of the mediation ne gotiations.

' ' ' It la sometimes said that if we could arrive at the secret of the firefly or of the other organisms which produce physlologlo light we should have reached a great economlo discovery, because the light has such an extror dinary high efficiency. In other words, all the energy expended in producing it goes to make light, and not heat The efficiency has been estimated at 86 per cent by Ives and CoblenU, and even higher by Langley and Very. This Is the more remarkable when it is considered that the best artificial lllumlnant has a luminous efficiency of only 4 per cent, and moBt of them reach only about 1 per cent, the re maining 99 per cent of the energy go ing to produce heat or other subordi nate effects. But even if we should discover the means by which the fire fly produces its lights we should scarcely care to use it in our homes. Professor McDermott in a recent study of the subject observes that while the insect has Indeed reached the highest possible radiant efficiency it has only accomplished at at a sacrifice ot color that makes the light much worse than the mercury vapor arc.
