Success annears TO have

Success appears to have attended, to
very encouraging degree, the use of the
electric light on board the French trans
Atlantic steamer Amerique, IN order to
prevent her collision with other vessels.
In this case, the lantern is placed on the
bow, at height of twenty-twofeet above
the forecastle, or ferty-two feet above the
water, and the current is produced by a
Gramme electric machine, revolving at
the rate of from nine hundred and fifty
to one thousand turns per minute, and
affording light equal to one hundred and
fifty carcel burners. An ingenious device
places the control of the light in the hands
of the officer of the watch, and by this
he can sextinguish. the illumination or
renew it at will, without stopping the
machine. It is stated that experiment has
recently proved that the most effective use
of the light, as a means of warning, is to
allow it to shine for ten seconds and then
extinguish, it for. the succeeding two
minutes-N 7 1Sals

A SHORT time ago Il lady residing at Cliff
ton, England, having an income of $4,000
a year, was so struck by the devotion OF a
young crossing sweeper to his mother that
she proposed to him, placed him in the
hands of a tutor Tor a couple of months, and
when he had been intelligently veneered
and polished, married him at Wells Cathe-
dral. The experiment was not a success,
and the lady is now suing for q divorce.

described One kilo two poundsN of soap is
reduced with Il little water to q sort Of pap.
which, having been slightly warmed is cool
ed in forty-iive lltres (ten gallons OF water.
to which is added II spoonful OF turpen-
tine oil and twospoonfuls of ammonia then
the mixture is agitated. The water is kept
at a temperature which may be borne by
the hand. Tn this solution are introduced
the white clothes, and they are left there
two hours before washing them i'll soap,
taking care in the mean time to cover the
tub. The soapy water may be warmed
again and be used once more, but it will be
necessary to add hall a spoonful of turpen-
tine and another spoonful of ammonia. Once
washed in soap, the clothes are put in warm
water and the blue is applied This process
it is obvious spares much time, much labor
and fuel. On the other hand, it gives to the
clothes a whiteness much superior to thai
obtained by any other method.
