IMPROVED STREET LAMpS.-A new descrlp-
tien Of lamp for street lighting is among the re-
cent foreign inventions Of interest. The prln-
cipic of the invention is the application of re-
hcctors, in order to bend down and utilize the
very considerable amount Of light which is now
wasted by upward radiation.
1t is we'll known that the rays of light which
fall upon the ground from street lamp, as
now constructed, are only small portion OF
those actually emitted by the flames. The rays
which. pass through the upper portion of the
sides of the lamp or through It's sopng root
are entirely disslpated, or at best, If partially
aud imperfectly reflected by the atmosphere,
become visible only in the form of an indefinite
red glow; in this way, it is calcul lated,' about
two-thirds OF the light given by the gas flame
are lost or misdlrected.
TO prevent such loss, the new lamp has strips
of flooking-glass arranged IN peculiar manner
The upper half of each side OF the lamp,
and the whole OF each side of the sloping root,
are occupied by a frame, in which the strips
are placed with their rejecting surfaces down
wards, in manner somewhat analogous TO the
laths ola Venetian blind. .
The precise character Of the effect produced
by this arrangement depends upon the distance
of the strips apart, also upon their width, and
upon their angle OF inclination; but the general
result is, subject to small variations, that the
street receives three times as much light as
would fall upon it through lamps OF the ordl-
nary kind. The frames holding the strips are
glazed on both sides and made dust proof, SO
that the mirrors will not themselves become
soiled or tarnlshed and the reaectoraS whole
can be cleaned in the usual way.

Or Cur OF CoFFEE.-It has
been trulhfully said that even in
these enlightened days, and in the
lands most blessed by the influence
of civilization, there are thousands
of persons born into the world who
live long lives and then go down
into their graves without ever hav-
ing tasted a good cup of coffee.
There are many reasons for this,
and the principal one, of course,
must be that SO few persons know
how to make good coffee. And
vet there have been thousands OF
receipts and directions published
which teach us how to make good
coffee by boiling it; by not boiling
IL; by combining the essence and
aroma; by making it in an open
vessel; by sleeping it; by clearing
it; by not clearing it; by grinding
il fine; by grinding it course, and
by many other methods opposed
to each other and to all these. Now
we do not intend to tell anybody
how to make good coffee, but we
Just wish to say word about tbs
treatment of the coffee after it is
made. And on this treatment de
ponds its excellence, brown it as
you may. The rule is simple new
err decant il. Whatever else you do
about ii, bring it to the table in the
vessel in which It is made. A hand
some urn or gorgeous coffee pot is
the grave ofgood coffee. OF course, if
it is considered more desirable to
have the pot look well than to have
the coffee taste well, we have moth
ing more to say. But when hot
coffee is emptied from one vessel
into another, the kitchen ceiling
generally receives that essence-iaden
Vapor which should have found its
way into the eups on the breakfast
table. And one word about these
cups. When the coffee enters it
should find the milk or cream al
ready there. By observing these
rules, ordinary coffee, made in al
most any way. is often very paIats-
bic indeed aud SOsiety,

Everything which tends to the
elevation of the race should be
free from any degrading influence.
Doubtless there is no one thing
outside of the public school that
has a more extended influence
over the minds of the people than
the newspaper press of the day.
Yet in spite of this fact many
editors admit to their columns
matter unfit for the innocent to

first obtain knowledge of certain
forms ofviee through this medium.
Do not think that the small zap

MERLE D'AUBIGSE.

Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigne, the
celebrated Swiss theological and ec-.
clesiastical historian, WHO died at
Geneva on the 2lst nit, was born
at Aux-Vives, near that city on the
10Th of August, 1894. His fathers
name was Louis Merle, and the SUR
name d,Aubigne, he derived, ac-
cording to Swiss custom, from his
paternal grandmother, who was of
noble blood. He was educated at
Geneva, city that has been the
scene of many events which are
landmarks in the worlds progress
from the time of Downward and
Calvin 70 that time of the Internal
tional arbitration which has Just
shown Christendom how wars may
be avoided. Having completed his
collegiate course there, Merle d.
Aubigne went to Berlin to attend
the lectures Of Neander, the ceIe-
brated theologian and historian,
whose fame he was destiuede to
equal, il not surpass, in his own
branch Of erudition. Leaving Ber-
lin, he became pastor of the French
Protestant church in Hamburg,
Thence, after q residence Of fiTe
years, he proceeded 70 Brussels,
where he was made chaplain To
King William, who, after the revo-
luton of 1895, invited him to Hol-
land as tutor to the Prince o.

IMMENSE WHEAT FARMS.


There are three wheat farms in
the San Joaquin valley with areas
of $1,000 acres, 49,
600 acres and 1900 acres. On
the largest of these farms this
year the wheat crop is reputed to
be equal to an average of forty
bushels to the acre, the yield run
ming in, some parts of the farm to
sixty bushels. The product of
this farm for the present year is
l, 100000 bushels. The boundary
on one side of this farm is seven
teen miles long. At the season of
blowing ten four horse teams were
attached to ten gang plows, each
gang having four plows-or forty
horses with. as many plows were
started at the same time, the
teams following in close, success
sion. Lunch, or dinner was serv-
ed at a midway station and sup
per at the termination of. the field,
seventeen miles distant from the
starting point. The teams re.
turned on the following day. The
wheat in this immense field was
cut with twenty of the largest
reapers, and, we believe, has now
been threshed and put into sacks.
It would require over forty ships
Of medium size to transport the
wheat raised on this farm to for
eign market. Even the sacks re-
quired would make large hole in
the surplus money of most farm,
ers. We have not the figures
touching the product of the other
two farms, but presume that the
average is not much below that Of
the first. There are thousands oil
tons OF wheat which cannot be
taken out of the valley this season,
and must remain over as dead
capital, or, what is nearly as un-
desirable, will only command ad.
vance at heavy rates Of interest
