worthy of tiie great master. There are
no conventional tricks of pious custume
and pallid devotion, bnt the artist has
taken an ordinary, healthy whole-some
lewking fomale and by his genius
transformed her into a beautiful
and spiritual devotee; even the
drapery is full of eztatic emotion. The
representation of various musical instru
ments at hrr feet are beneath the dignity
of Raphael; and were painted in by Jean"
di Udine, one of his pupils. This picture
alone draws many tourists to Bologna,
although not reoognized as equal to many
othea of the great artist's masterpieces,
for all of his works are masterpieces.
There is but one Raphael, and no other
artist spprt Aohes him as to be worthy to
kiss the he n of his garment. Here, also,
we see sis great pictures of Guido Reni,
the most striking and beautiful being the
massacre tf the innocents, and Bam son
victorious over the Philistines. Here,
also, we see Ouido's head of Christ
crowned with tborns, designed in paste
upon paper, which has been engraved so
often and is seen everywhere, and which
has beeome the traditional and conven
tional representation of our Savoir. These
pictures establish the reputation of Onido
Reni and entitle him to be ranked among
the great artists of his age. Resides the
allegorical fresco of daybreak, the
"Aurora" of the Baspigliosi palace in
Rome, there are no other pictures that so
fully exemplify his great genius and jus
tify his being placed in the company of j
the great masters in painting. His distin
guished pupil, Elizabeth Sirani, daugh
ter of Andrea of that name, but for tier
early death, hastened by partiality and
. injustice, would have ontstriped the mas
ter as many gifted scholars have done in
all times. Although her designs
and pointings were approved
they were afterward rejected,
and .-her commission for an impor
tant work at Rome annulled, when it was
known that the artist was a woman. . It
was even reported that her strange death,
in her 27th year, was eansed by poison
administered by jealous and disappointed
rivals. About a dozen of the produc
tions of hnr brush, including her master
piece, "The Adoration of Saint An
thony," are found in these galleries,
which attest the prominence of her
genius.' Borne of the smaller ones are
- exquisitely beautiful, especially "The
Apparition of Saint Phillip Neri," and
the "Saint Mary Msdelaioe." Among
ether paintings by female artists we no
tice one by Caterina Vigri, painted in
1451, two hundred years before Sirani's
time, representing the martyrdom of St.
Ursula; also, some fine portraits by La
inia Fontana, daughter of Prospero
Fontana, the preceptor of Calaoci,jaint-

self so famous as her successor, nor be

feift of beauty.,, Laura Basm was also a
lecturer on philosophy in 1623, and Man
zolini, of anatomy in 1760, and Clotildi
Timberini was professor of Qeeek in
1700. Portraits, busts, and tablets of all
these "dottoresse are to be seen in the
grand Bala, and the statues ; of ' Tamhor
ini and Bassi in the loggin are beautiful
specimens of arts and monuments to these
noted female professors. So it seems
that the right of woman both to know
and teach law, pbvsio, philosophy, and
language was early recognized among
the literati of Bologna. It was reserved
to onr times to recognize the propriety
of her being also a teacher of divinity.
The walls of the grand salon of the medi
cal department are covered with repre
sentations in fresco of the coats-of-arms
of many noble students who graduated
in medicine from the university long
centuries ago. ; j
Besides the multitudes of arcad
arcades
throughout the city, there is a covered
archway from one of the principal gates
of the city the Porta San Isia to a
church and monastery upon a hill three
miles distant. The chapel of the Ma
donna Di San Luca was built in the year
1160 to contain the picture of the Virgin,
painted by the Greek physician and
artist, the apostle St. Luke.: It became
a chapel of pilgrimage, and to accommo
date the immense throngs who visited
the sacred picture the church was en
larged and beautified, and this arcade
constructed at an enormous expenditure
of money and a hundred years of time.
Among the msny magnificent paintings
whioh adorn the walls of this church is a
beautiful one by Elizabeth Sirani, paint
ed in her 20th year, representing the
baptism of Christ. The arcade is built
with two stories, the upper one for foot
passengers and the lower one for car'
nages, and consists of bio arches of
brick and stone and twice as many col
umns of marble. At intervals along
this curious way fifteen chapels are con
structed, each bearing upon its wall a
fresco representing the fifteen mysteries
of the rosary. , At the 'foot of the hill
upon which the church is situated is a
magnificent arch very appropriately
called II Arco Melpncello (the portico of
melancholy) from which the arcade
branches off to the Convent of Certosa,
built in 1335 and suppressed . in 1797,
and now used as a cemetery. This
unique and beautiful burying place oc
cupies the convent which was built upon
the ancient site of an Etruscan cemetery,
and the cloisters have been enlarged and
and added to until it has become a vast
metropolis, filled with toombs, statues,
tablets, busts, and inscriptions of the
most interesting character. The dead
are deposited in the massive walls
through openings made in the outside,
which are closed up with cement, and
the monuments and works of .art are
placed in secure position upon the
side, sheltered from the weather, wh
they remain for ages. Many of the finest
pieces -of statuary and antique mo:
ments have been removed from churches
and cemeteries in the city and vicinity,
and productions of many of the best
modem artists, both in : painting and
sculpture, are found in the nu
merous . chapels ; and long gal
leries of this strange sepulchral
city of the dead. Here we pause to ad
mire a beautiful full-length statue by
Canova or Scandeliari, and there before
a bust by Bartolini or Salvini. We are
deeply impressed with the appropriate
gracefulness and beauty of a white
marble female figure set in relievo against
a black marble background, representing
the pensive sorrow of a young girl at the
tomb of her lover the work of a young
uoiogneae sculptor. A noble statue of a
woman with her finger to her lips.
representing silence, stands before the
tomb of a gallant young officer killed in
a duel. The story is that the officer was
tne brotner-in-law of the silent lady, and
that another : gentleman, who had also
conceived a passion for her, imagined he
stood in the war of his success, and in
his insane jealousy challenged and shot
him. The real history of the affair was
never certainly known, as the lady pre-
Bcrreu a botce Hueuue in regard VJ li ;
but, as the rumors and gossips were very
unpleasant to herself and husband, they
removed frem the country, and another
brother caused this singular monument
to be erected. Everywhere we see por
traits on-, canvas, and frescoes, and
mosaics, on the walls, and one can wan
der here for hours listening to the gossip
of the loquacious custodian, relating to
tne private and romantic histories of the
quiet sleepers beneath these lofty arches
of stone, supported by long rows
of gleaming white - marble columns.
Altogether, it is the most an
propriato and agreeable receptacle for
the dead known to our humanity. There
is something repulsive in the idea of the
ancient Jbgyptian caves filled with in
numerable bandaged and shriveled im
ages of the dead. The Roman catacombs
are dark and gloomy store-houses of
nameless bones; and even the modern
necropolis of Paris, the famous Pere la
Chaise, has the repulsive feature of deep
and narrow wells, into which the remains
of loved ones are lowered and placed one
upon another until the "grave" is filled.
Even our modern park cemeteries, em
bellished with walks and trees, grass and
flowers, beautiful as they seem, are redo
lent with worms and decay, not to men
tion the unpleasant suggestion of a res
urrection before the time and a possible
dissecting-room; and many of them seem
like immense maible yards, filled as they
are with flat head and foot stones, lines
of crumbling curbstones, decaying
wooden fences, or black and rusting iron
inclosures. The disgusting collection of
bones in churches in Rome, and in many
rural chapels in Switzerland and the Ty
rol, labeled "Here lies the bones of our
beloved daughter," etc., are simply hor
rible. If the dead are to be sepulchred
and preserved to await a resurrection to
new life, commend us to the cloister
system of Bologna. The open area
which is surrounded by all "these
galleries and cloisters is reserved for
the burial of the poor, and burned
to make room for new comers, the ashes
Deing deposited in urns and placed un
der the open porticos. This seems bar
barous, indeed, when compared with the
eare taken of the bodies of the rich; but
i is no worse man the custom at Pere le
Chaise of evicting the tenants of rented
graves who are in arrears for rent, and
tumbling them into common trenches
outside the city; or the Spanish custom
of stripping the dead before casting
moot into a pit with quicklime to hasten
decomposition; or even the practice of
the Parrees, of Persia, who deposit the
bodies of their dead at the summit of
tall towers that the birds of prey ! may
pick the flesh from the bones, which
then drop through the gratings into the
dead charnel pit beneath. Surely there
is some better, wiser, more economical,
and more philosophical, as well as mora
natural and agreeable method of dispos
ing of the dead than any of those yet
procuueu upon wis cnanging and alter
nating footstool of the Almighty by His
darkened and groping children.
Turning from this subject, by an easy
transition we are reminded of the com
ing meeting of the savants of the world
who are investigating the history of the
dead past by study of the inscriptions
written by nature upon her rocks and
minerals, preserved in her strata, and re
vealed by the upheaval of her' earth
quakes, the eternal corrosion of the ele
ments by the constant action of frost and
snow, by the ever changing yet sure and
consistent action of her laws. The sec
ond international congress of geologists
is to be held at Bologna during the com
ing year. The first congress was held at
Pans in 187S. One of the main objects
of the conference is to devise a method
f or the unification of geological names
and fiirnres, and the formation of some
identical geological nomenclature. I It is
also proposed to establish an internation
al JTstsra of colors and figures adapted to
t: e rcTpiwijUticn of getloric&J maps.

thirty pieces of silver and that the power
of his Master was too absolute for any
harm to come lo him. There are thou
sands and tens of thousands of men like
him in the world. There are men who
will betray their country in a small way '
to make money of it. iiiey console
themselves with the thought that the
country is too great to be shaken by so
little a transaction, and yet out; of them
have grown all our Indian wars, De-
cause of them almost ail tne sorrows
and divisions of the country have come,
and because' of them the masses
have fallen off in respect for the
authorities so much that really upright
men hesitate before jeopardizing their
good names through accepting office,
The baneful evil descends to private life
and-becomes the father of a thousand
heart aches and crimes. The clerk loves
his employer, would not harm him for
the world, and yet some time he ventures
to take a dollar, unaccounted jor, irom
the till intending to replace it next day.
Like Judas he wants the silver and be
lieves that the act of getting it is not a be
trayal of bis Master; but the next day he
wants more and the result is flight or a
prison, or often, as did the Iscariot of
old, he goes out and hangs himself. A
great evil may cloud or fetter a commu
nity. You will find a thousand men who
will denounce it to you and tell you it
ought to be abated, but if the test comes
that requires their presence or their sig
nature they will refuse. Why? Because
for the little silver they can gain by
hiding their thoughts, they have sold
their souls, and are willing to make
those who nurse the wrong believe they
are smiling approval; The greed for
gold is emasculating the world. Men
are betraying their i Master, principle,
every day for it, as imuch as did Judas
Iscariot. They are obsequious to wealth;
they smile approval i to tyrannies; they
withhold their hands from the palms of
honest poverty; they betray their own
manhood; they are Iscariots for coin.
The eves of mothers catch the gleam of
gold and become facinatod until they be
tray their daughters into false marriages
even while, like Iscariot, they kiss them.
Young girls walk the streets and watch
thefinerv displayed in the windows, and
the Iscariot within then begins to whisper
"Of course youll not betray yourself to
the world, but von aro very poor, and the
mantle of the night will conceal for you
a little indiscretion. Either the old is
cariot has been too much blamed or there
is not blame enough for those who imi
tate him in modern days. The thing
most full of human nature in the New
Testament ia that the Savior, or even af
ter at His touch the eyes of the blind
were opened, and at the sound of His
voice the grave gave up its dead the
most natural thing, we say, was tbat He
was betrayed by one He thought his
friend, and tbat He was betrayed for
money. j
An Artificial Sun.
An electrical engineer of Boston
is about to try the experiment of
lighting liolyoko, Mass., in a manner
that will strike tho present genera
tion as novel. It is proposed to
build a tower seventy-five feet high
overlooking the town. This ia to be
surmounted by an immense lantern
of such illuminating capacity as to
put all previous lamps in the cate
gory ot trifles. At present only one
tower wilt bo built, but it the princi
ple should prove a success, seven or
eicht towers will ultimately be
erected, that tho city may be ren
dered as light as day, and gas and
kerosene completely superseded
The idea of the inventor is to charge
the upper strata of the atmosphere
with luminous vibrations in the same
manner as is done by the sun, and
thus to produce the same effect that
is obtained during the day from the
reflected, refracted and diliused light
of that popular orb. It is believed
that eleclrio light can thus be made
to permeate spaces which are inac
cessible to direct rays by the same
law by which daylight diffuses it
self tbat is, by virtuo of an expan
ive property which is constantly il
lustrated on the largej scale of polar
illumination, but has noplace in our
lxt books on optics.. The lig
given by the solar orb a few minutes
after sunset, when only tho upper
strata of tbe atmosphere are directly
affected by the solar beam, furnishes
tho best example of tho diffusion and
expansion that tho Boston engineer
proposes to imitate artificially. Mis
plans provide fur an illuminating
power from each lantern equal to
300,000 candles, which is nearly
twenty times larger than that of any
electric lamp yet manufactured, but
is not all impracticable, as it involves
only an increase in electrical volumo
and pressure, and a corresponding in
crease in tbe diameter ot the car
bons. The cost of tho tower, lamp
and generator for a single lamp will
be 815.000. irrespective of tho engine
power reauired to run the latter. If
this experiment succeeds Edison
will have to look to his laurels.
Paris Unhealthy and Us safe. The
unhealthiness of Paris has been so
marked recently that it has excited the
attention of the authorities who are care
fully looking to the drainage and other
matters of civic hygiene. Among other
reformations, the old laws are to be
again put in force as to the keeping
within the city not only of animals such
as pigs, cows, sheep, etc., but also the
more domestic pets, like dogs, cats and
birds. The n amber of dogs and cats in
almost every street in Paris is something
enormous, and tneir presence in the liv
ing rooms of the poorer quarters must
be very detrimental to the public health.
An inspection will shortly be made as to
the domestic pets of ' each family, and
strict regulations made as to how many
each house may be allowed to keep. In
the matter of safety of the streets the
police are eauallv vigilant. During the
last six weeks, in one quarter alone, that
of St. Vincent do faul in the tenth
arrondissement, there have been 273 ar
rests of vagabonds and night prowlers,
and the numbers are pretty much the
same for the other quarters, making alto
gether some 250 arrests every night.

The Sovereignty ef Brain.
Matter, force and intelligence consti
tute the sun of the universe, the Trinity
which J3pinoza said "I choose to call
God." M arils a compound of matter,
force and intelligence; an epitome of the
universe, in the image of God. Matter
without force were dead; force without
intelligence were blind. The degree
and character of intelligence manifested
determines the rank or value of any or
ganization in the scale of being. Intelli
gence ia manifested in two ways uncon
scious and conscious. In' our own or
ganization, unconscious intelligence pre
sides over the action of the heart, stom
ach, lungs, and other organs whose
functions are not what physiologists
torm involuntary,' Conscious intelli
gence is manifested in the various modes
of thought, and through it we control our
external actions and relations. . Were we
not endowed with the power of thought
we could nave no consciousness of exist
ence. "I think; therefore I am," said
the great French philosopher. We begin
to be (as personalities) when we become
conscious of existence, and the sum of
our consciousness is the measure
of our life. The stomach, lungs.
etc., being organs of unconscious J
functions, represent the physical nature,
The brain, the organ of thought, repre
sents the intellectual, the human. It is
therefore superior, sovereign. . The head
commands and the body obeys. Nor
does the plebeian body ever question the
propriety of an order issued by its sov
ereign, whether it be to wield the dag
ger of the assassin, run on an errand of
mercy, or bow beneath the heaviest cross
oi ton.
The brain comprises three principal
groups of organs, corresponding to three
classes of faculties, selfish, intellectual
and moral. These are all intelligent ;
but the degree and character of this in
telligence differ greatly, and differing,
conflict.
The consciousness of the selfish group
is manifested chiefly in desire and effort
to benefit itself. The consciousmess of
the intellectual group is displayed in a
search after knowledge. ' The conscious
ness of the moral group is seen in aspira
tions after the good, the true, and the
beautiful. This first gives us all our wars,
murders, tyrannies, robberies and
crimes of whatever sort, as well as all
our physical pleasures. The second, all
our literature, art and science. The
thud, all our religion, philosophy, jus
tice, liberty and fraternity.
The relative power of these groups in
any given case is determined by their
relative size. This being true, we have
only to know that the selfish group has
v; hflen. ni still is. the West fn thfl
average man, to account rationally
the facts of history and observation that
so disgrace our race.
" Tis the mind that makes the man."
The strong-limbed, muscular, but igno
rant barbarian of primitive times was
bnt a dim prophecy of true manhood.
He was a slave to superstitious fears and
physical necessities. He cowered before
the forces of nature, and toiled as a
galley-slave for a meagre and mean sub
sistence. The element of manhood in
herent within him rebelled against a fate
so painful and plebeian, and cudgeled
the brain for plans by which to secure
a better living at a less cost of
labor. This discontent and taxing of
the brain was continued, and under the
activity thus induced, the brain has
steadily increased in size and power, and
ia still inoreasincr. The result is mar
velous, both as to magnitude and benefi
cence. A single brain, once limited to
the superintendence of the operations of
one pair of hands, may now control ma
chinery representing a thousand pair of
hands, and this machinery is run by
steam and wastes not one ounce of mus
cular force. The unwritten prophecy is
about to be fulfilled. Man is rapidly
emerging from his apprenticeship to the
parent of invention, necessity, into the
realm of independence of thought and
action. The forces and appetites that
have so long enslaved him are to be the
instruments of his will and ministers of
his pleasure. '
There is a current and popular legend,
to the purport that it was God's original
purpose -to keep man in ignorance and
support him in idleness, which scheme
was spoiled by the perversity of woman,
as manifested in tasting forbidden joys,
and seeking unlawful knowledge. Then
God placed man under the curse of toil,
saying to him, "In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread." The legend is
true to those who are able to interpret
it, as are all the sacred myths and le
gends that have come down to us from
the venerable past. There was, no
doubt, an era when the primitive man
leaned like an infant upon the breast of
his mother nature, drawing his sole sus
tenance from the spontaneous fruits of
her bosom. From this dream of infancy
he at length awoke to the necessities of
clothing, and ether luxuries which na
ture had not supplied. To these wants
involved labor, aud the era of toil was
inaugurated. From this hard school of
bitter experience the race is to graduate
into the era of thonght. ;
'- The new command is, "Develop your
brain and use it in an intelligent man
ner;" for the time is not distant when
there will be no room in this world for
him who shall have naught to sell but
his muscle; who can do nothing but toil
with his hands. It is written upon the
wall of the Temple of Fate, "Become a
thinker, or perish." Nor is this a hard
doom. To the intellectual alone is life a
blessing. The ignorant man begins his
career in a cheerless childhood, passes
through a toilsome and anxious manhood
to a sorrowful old age, sinking at last
into a nameless grave. . -
The only possible, complete remedy
for the evils that now afflict society, and
of which workingmen and philanthrop
ists so justly complain, is to abolish the
monopoly of brains by making thought
universal. This done, and the monopoly
of wealth and power will pass away for
ever. Thk Apachh Who Could Ride a
"Bbonco."' Tom Newland has an In
dian who place a high estimate on his
equestrian ability. There was a horse to
be brought into town a few days avo, and
the Indian was given the job. He was
told he was a "bronco," bnt it was, "esla
baeno, me- abe." Hitching the animal
to a tree, he carefully placed the sweat
cloth on him; then the blanket, the bri
dle and the saddle; at each performance
giving voice to a satisfied "Ah, hah,"
each ejaculation growing intenser until
he got into the saddle. All this time the
"bronco" looked as unlike Alexander the
Great's war horse, Bucephalus, as a
carpenter's saw horse. The Indian
started; he gained the crest of
the hill where the scrub oak was thickest:
he turned and gave another "Ah, hah,
which was followed so closely by
''whoa" that it sounded like a compound
word. Then' something rose a few feet
in the air, went back, and rose again.
There was a cloud of dust, a heap of
Apache talk, a flash of bright colors, and
silence. When Tom went up, he
found tbe horse grazing in the most
orthodox fashion, and a strip of white
breech clout, and a pair of brown legs
surmounted by red stockings and iron
clad shoes sticking up from the middle
of a scrub oak like a new sort of plant.
Tom got him out of the brush, and
when he said "Ah, hah," the Indian
looked as though he wanted to go on the
war-path.
Th body of Mrs. Mycr, who died
of typhoid fever in Jersey City a few
weeks ago, was disinterred recently
on account of tbe statement of her
daughter that she knew her mother
had been buried alive, for she had
been calling to her for help, saying,
"Come and help me, for God's sake.
Come and help me I" To tbe horror
of the relatives it was found that the
body had turned over in the coffin.

Picking up sticks is plow business, bnt
is profitable if enough sticks are picked
up, and if sticks will sell. Gigantic for
tunes have been made bygathering frag
ments that seemed worthless. A French
man became wealthy,, by. picking up
crusts of bread in the streets of Paris.
He dried the crusts and sold them for
bird food. During our war men rolled
up majestic fortunes by following the
army and picking up bits of fat and
scraps of meal. There are old men and
women who spend their time in hooking
out from ash barrels and dirt heaps the
little pieces of coal and other substances
which have been overlooked. . Although
these people are dirty and wear tattered
clothes, some of them have large pos
sessions. The. old Scotch proverb,
"Many a nickle makes a muokle, lies at
the basis of the successful enterprise of
these slow and patient gatherers. Each
piece picked up is of infinitesimal value.
To the careless observer these pieces
seem of no value at all; and it is only
when their value is massed that it is per
ceptible. The fact that the accumula
tion of the little sometimes leads to solid
prosperity contains a wholesome lesson
to the profligate persons who squander
their little opportunities and throw away
their spare moments. -,- To save time and
material is not only desirable, but praise
worthy. There is, on the ether hand, a danger
of overdoing the business of devotion to
the infinitesimals, John Bunyan pic
tured a man whs was bo closely occupied
with his muck-rake as to neglect bril
liant inducements which were offered
him from another direction. . This grov
eling person was delighted to rake to
gether dried leaves and chips of dirt
that he could give no attention to the
orown of solid worth offered him by a
condescending angel.
There is a story of a man who once
found great success in picking up pins
from the pavement, and who waa so
pleased by it that he ever afterwards
walked with eyes directed downward,
looking for pins. History records that
in the course of his life he found a great
many pins; but it adds that he never had
a soul above pins. There was an old
merchant down town who had a practice
of making Out his bills on bits of brown
wrapping paper, and of writing his let
ters on scraps of anything that would
hold a pencil-mark. He grew immensely
rich; and died despised by everybody,
yet leaving a substantial fortune to rela
tives who rejoiced that such a miser
was gone.
Every now and again a few paragraphs
( a ? " "e" "u " . s
! bont Stephen Girard or some other
and stories go the rounds of the press
bits of string or hammering crooked
nails straight. These are circulated
with a view to making prodigal young
men into thrifty ones. We are told that
Rothschild or Contts or Jim Fisk, or
somebody, earned their first few thousand
dollars by untying string from bundles
instead of cutting it into short and value
less bits. A. T. Stewart is by some peo
ple supposed to have taken his first steps
to wealth by making crooked nails from
packing boxes into straight ones. It is
not.recorded how many times he mashed
his thumb in the early stages of his
busines, when crooked nails dodged the
blows of the hammer and flew up to hit
him in the eye. The Asters are sup-,
posed to have saved enough on bait for
the traps in which old Mr. Astor caught
the animals whose fur he sold to erect
the big hotel in New Yorfc which bears
their name. And so it is with stories of
others who have piled up the world's
wealth.
Now the fact is that a great many of
these stories and examples are simply
ridicnlons, and lead young men to sub
stitute the ignoble for the noble in their
purposes and aims. There were days in
which it paid for an intelligent young
man to straighten nails, for hardware was
notjthen what it is now. When nails are as
now only afew cents a pound, meat young
men can employ their time in better
ways. An industrious youth does well
to be thrifty in the use of twine and
other sundries, but if he spend tea cents'
worth of time and effort in saving three
cents' worth of string, the investment is
a poor one. The man who wants to hold
his head high among men of business
has nothing to gait by using old scraps
of paper instead of decent stationery.
There is a commendable sort of thrift
and there is a thrift which is despicable.
The man with the muck-rake may have.
been an industrious fellow, but give us
rather the man who has enterprise
enough to look upwards and ambition
enough to robe himself in a becoming
manner, while he diligently seeks suc
cess in great things as well as small and
in those which are worth looking after
rather than in those which are to be
despised. -: - -'
Progress of the Electric Light.
The electria light seems to be com
ing into use in England almost as
fast as in America, It is the Anglo
American Electric Light Company
that controls the Jablockoff system,
but having become satisfied last win
ter that tho Brush was the better
system, it purchased the English
patents for $150,000. In the moan
time a commission, appointed by Par
liament, made a report filling a large
volume, which, after months of in
vestigation and a thorough test of
the Siemens, Gramme, Wallaco and
other systems, awarded tbe Brush
light the superiority over all others
by 40 per cent, in the results at
tained. The government immedi
ately cabled the Brush Company at
Cleveland an order for 880,000 worth
of apparatus. The fact was tele
graphed all over tho world, and was
in the Telegram's Associated Press
dispatches last February. Since then
the Anglo-American Company have
sold enough machines to make the
aggregate reach nearly 1000 lights.
The Government lights are used in
the Royal navy, in the ship yards
and offices. It requires 80-horse
power to drive twenty-seven Sie
mens lamps, of , 2000 candle power
each. To drive twenty -seven lamps of
the Brush system, requires 24-horse
power. It requires a separate ma
chine for each Siemens lamp. One
machine drives forty Brush lamps.
The greater economy in fuel with
tho saving in wire and machinery
mast at once be apparent. The Brush
French patents have been bought for
1250,000. To run forty Brush lamps
requires but thirty-four-horsa power.
The machines can bo ran for fifty
per cent less than gas can be manu
factured here, and as the plant can
be bought for less than one-sixth of
the amount expended in expensive
pipe systems, it furnishes an inviting
field tor capital. The wires being
run into the stores the same as tele
graph wires are run, does away with
the expense of making connections,
and there is no loss from leakage.
The light is being used. in churches
East, and is said to be advantageous
for both churches and large halls, al
though it does not answer for dram
atic performances where at times ab
solute quiet is required, the carbons
occasionally making a slight noise
when feeding. It will probably be
introduced in churches here, there
having been correspondence for that
purpose begun with Eastern pastors
where the light is used. As nearly
all the business houses using light
are closed Sunday night, the power
can very well be employed for"
furnishing the electric light to
churches. .

He Couldn't Help It
There was -another ease yesterday of a
boy who couldn't help it, A prominent
and dignified citizen : was looking out
through the third story window of a
block on Jefferson avenue which he had
thoughts of renting, when the idea sud
denly struck him to look into the alley
in the rear, r He raised the sash of a
window and peered out upon ash boxes,
coal scuttles and barrels of straw with
out number, and was about to close his
observations when, the sash came down
with a .thud and struck him behind his
shoulders. .In his fright be fell to his
knees, and while the solid tialf- of his
body was all right the lighter was over
tbe window, sill. In addition to the
weight of the sash any movement of his
body was accompanied by pain.. The
cash could not bp reached, with his hands
freely enough to lift it, and it .soon oc
curred to the prominent citizen tbat he
ought to have help. He could not expect
it from behind, for he was alone in the
store, 'but as ha lojoked down into the
alley a boy came stumping along to find
something worth lagging away. , ;
"Hello, bovl hello! ' called thecitizen.
Hello yourself !') cried the boy as he
lookea up. i
"Say. boy.

"Not much, Ver don't," chuckled the

the citizen dodged. This was such fun
for the boy that he kept it up for three
or four minutes, and the offer of $2 had
no effect on him. Then he gathered six
or eight old lemons and oranges to

The Russian Grand Duke.
The Grand Duke Constantino, brother
of the Czar of Russia, is described by
a foreign writer as a maritime Chester
field. He has a ready compliment for
every one who approaches him in society,
and has a good deal of light chit-chat for
all sorts of persons. But in private his
speech is curt, and he deals in those ex
pletives without which the sailor s
vocabulary would be incomplete. The
Grand Duke was married young to the
handsomest Prinoess in Germany a
blessing he never much valued. He
travels abroad by himself, and the Grand
Duchess Constantino by herself. Con
stantino has navigated and circumnavi
gated a good deal as an officer of the
Russian navy, of which he is now the
Lord High Admiral. As he grows
elderly he stiffens and shows hereditary
pipe-clay. His carriage has the bolt
upright stiffness of the Prussian officer,
and his trousers fit as if held down with
straps. His trunk is clothed in a kind of
naval pea-jacket. His step is, for so tall
a man, curiously mincing. It is a
dancing master's step, and enables him
rapidly and without fatigue to cover a
deal of ground. The Czar has an ennnyt
look, and gives the impression of a man
who never had a friend that was not a
valet. Constantino looks as though he
folt himself watched -by spies, and
glances about without turning his head.
He is very fond of animals, and has in
his park in Russia a "Zoo" of his own, in
which there are remarkable specimens of
Asiatic goats, buffaloes and yaks.
The Climax of Love Slorle?.
It was, we think, with Jane Eyre that
it began to be supposed that the hot en
counter of two lovers, with all their
juxta-positions and all their quarrels,
heats and coolnesses, was the only ob
ject of fiction disastrous discovery
which has done more damage in the
world than many a more important mis
take. Taking Shakspeare s example,
however, we .may say that a story which
is pure love and nothing else, must end
in a catastrophe. It is an intolerable
state not to be supported by the great
mass of beings who are not in love, and
its suddenness, and the overpowering
brief current of its potency, the pity of
the strange and tragic conclusion, the
bitter sweet of that union which is end
ing, are component parts of its power
over us, and justify its acceptance as the
supreme romance, the one typical tale of
youth and passion. There is no looking
behind or after in that sudden rapture
it is all concentrated in the moment, the
hour, the one point of everlasting dura
tion, whioh to ordinary mortals is beat
out upon tho eloek in the shortest apcll
of time. But when the youthful pair
occupy their real position in a real
world, the interest of their story not only
gives zest to the study of more ordinary
existence, but it gives the indispensable
composition, the necessary beginning and
ending which every tale requires,

Cost of Brinoino Up a Bot. A cler
gyman who has been discoursing about
boys has devoted considerable attention
to the cost of these somewhat necessary
individuals, and he estimates the expense
of bringing a good boy with all the ad
vantages of city life, to the age of fifteen
at about 83,000. These figures are about
doubled by the time the boy is of age, if
he goes through college. A bad boy, ar
rived at the age mentioned, costs fully as
much, even if he has not been to college,
and the computation, as the reverend
gentlemen suggests, does not include the
valuo of the mother's tear's and the
father's gray hairs, Most men who
have brought up boys will agree that

Much Finding.
According to the London Medical
Record, an American physician, Dr, Far
rar, haa calculated that about half a ton
of pure gold is annually packed away
into American teeth; and he goes on to
assert that, at this rate, within 800 years
as much pure gold will have been buried
with the teeth into which it is packed as
there is now in the whole gold circula
tion of the earth. Perhaps Dr. Farrar is
right, for half a ton of gold is only 17,
920 ounces avoirdupois, and supposing
that one American in a hundred haa his
teeth stopped with gold, that would give
each an average amount of annual stop
ping of something like one-sixteenth of
an ounce, which is not. perhaps, a very
extravagant amount But we are not in
clined to speVl wonder on these trite cal
culations of how much gold all the
stuffed teeth of the ages may be event
ually supposed to contain, any more than
on how many wasted minutes all the use
less calculations of the ages may be sup
posed to nave accounted for. Ion might
just as well calculate how many yards of
artery there are pulsing away at a Guild
hall dinner, ot how many multiples of
the present Lord Mayor would, reach to

people by manipulating the insignificant
facts of life with the aid of the multipli
cation table, bnt the astonishment is bar
