M. Jablochkofl's electric candle is
spoken of in foreign journals as sue

light. 1t was originally constructed on
the principle of inclosiDg the carbon
electrodes in a material which will con-
sumo slowly and thus regulate their
burning, the carbon "points" serving
as the wick to the candle. The outside
material is believed to consist largely of
kaolin. As many as fifty simultaneous
lights are said to have been obtained by
means of this invention from one cleo
tro magnetic machine. Latterly NJ. Ja-
blachkoff is reported as having dispens-
ed with the carbon points altogether,
using only the kaolin preparation for the
electrodes. The invention has been
described by N. Dumas before the
French Academy of Sciences, and ar.
engagements are in progress in England
TO light one of the East and West India
Company's docks by the new system.
If the electric candle meets the expect
atoms that have been formed of it, the
reign of the gas companies is nearing

HAND vs.. NACHINE LABOR.

The fight between hand labor and ma
chine labor takes on new aspects every
day, and becomes exceedingly Interest
ing. Machine work, machine patterns,
machine designs, are necessarily arbitra.
ry, uniform, mechanical; hand work is
free, capable Of adapting itself to every
fancy, and producing the infinite divers
ity found in natural forms. This takes
hand labor out OF the dull level Of mech
anism, and elevates it into the region Of
art. This idea has already found its
way into dress and clothing; to be fash-
ioGable nowadays one must be origin
al, not mere copyists Of other peoples
ideas. The leader of fashion anywhere
is the one who dresses differently from
not the one who dresses like everybody
else. And 80 of other things; those who
have the courage TO take a new depart
ure which is generally acknowledged to
be good one, make a mark upon their
time, their generation, or the communi-
ty, but it must be done magnitioently,
strongly, as Goethe says.-[JennIe June.
