Some three hundred men, women aud

was brilliantly illuminated. The address
being concluded then came the dlstfibu

there was a peculiar shake or quiveiina
Of the timbers that denoted sudden

there cougregated than the terrible
catastrophe came with all its horrors and

me Else,r.e A.Ehs.

Up TO the present bitne, as Is well
known. the electric light has been used
only for lighthouses, rs an electSic sun
illumination for signals, or on the
stage, where strong light may be
required without regard TO cost; but
thus far ithas been quite impossible
to employ 1t for lighting streets or
houses. BY the old method the slec-
tric spark was passed between two
points Of charcoal, each attached 10 q
copper wire connected with an electro
magnetic machine. The disadvantages
attending this mode consisted In the
iacts that for each light a separate ma
chine was required, and that the light
so obtained, although very powerful,
was impossible to be regulated, besides
being non-continuous, owing 10 ths
rapid consumption Of the charcoal
points from exposure to the air. AL
these Difficulties Mr. A. Ladigulny st
81. Petersburg, Russia, has tried, and
apparently overcome most successfully !.
BY his newly invented method, only
one piece Of charcoal or other bad Gpl-
ductor Is required, which, being
attached to wire connected wish ID
electromagnetic machine, 10 placed In
q glass tube, from which ths air Is ex-
hausted, and replacedby a gas which
will not at q high temperature sen-
bine chemically with the charcoal
This tube is then hermetically sealed,
and the machine being set In motion
by means of a small steam engine,
the charcoal becomes gradually and
equally heated, and emits q soft
steady, and continuous light, which.
by most simple contIivanee, can be
strengthened or weakened at the ep-
ton Of those employing 1t, its drEatio9
being dependent solely on the electric
current, which Of course will last aS
long as the machine Is kept In moti0n&
Taking into consideration tire fact that
one machine, worked by a small three
horse power engine, As capable Of light
Ing many hundreds Of lanterns, Y is,
evident that an enormous advantage
and profit could be gained BY the Mo
mination Of streets, private h0Nses,
public buildings, and minesy with the
new electric light. In Che LATTER ii
must prove Invaluable, asn0 explosion
need ever be feared from IT. and these
lanterns will burn equally as well I'M
der water as in a room. WithOuk
mentioning the many advantages this
mode of Illumination has over Gas,
which by its unpleasant odor and
evaporation is slowly poisoning thous;,
ands Of human beings, and from which,
explosions are frequent, we can state
that, by calculations made, this cleo
trio light can be produced at o aflh Of
the cost Of coal gls. We hope shortly
to place before the public more COM
plete particulars, as well as reports q
further experiments which are pro
posed to take place In Vienna, PariA
and London.-Goi0S, and Journal o.

be carefully oiled over with cod liver
oil and put away In dry place where
the moths will not trouble them. The
hemmer and tucker should be put In .
secure wooden cask and covered with
strong lye. This win keep the roots
moist and prevents shrinkage. A too
common fault Is to expose to the air,

would. Take the other portion Oh the

For It's breaking my heart VIII be-;
But treasure I'll take for old Ireland's

It's handful o. earth from the land of my

From the heart o. the landI love.
And won't the poor lad in his exile be glad
When he sees the brave present l bring?
And won't there he fiow'rs from this rich

Och, Erin inachree! though it's partin we

Its blessing I'll leave on yonr shore,
And your mountains and streams I'll see
In my dreams
Till cross to my country once more.
