The New Electric Light.

Mr.. Edward King, the correspondent
of the Boston Journal in Paris, gives an
interesting account of the illumination
three weeks ago of Place de pOpera in
Paris by the electrical light. He says the
effect was singularly magnificent, and:
"The intense white glow from the
electric burners directly in front of the
steps leading up to the operas entrance,
and scattered at intervals across the
grand boulevard to the corner of the new
avenue leading to the Coincide Franchise,
made the spaces for hundreds of yards
around about. as light as day. One
of the electric candles seemed to give as
much light as an hundred gas gets. Gas
looks yellow, muddy and petty beside
this grand fire, which defes darkness.
For city lighted by the new process all
the terrors of midnight would vanish.
Burglars would find their occupation
gone. The assassin would have to sell
his stilleto. Vice Of all kinds weuld
either stink away, disguised at the small
reward which it would obtain when it
could no longer walk in darkness"
The illumination was 80 splendid, that
the electric light is to be introduced in all
parts of the city. The system adopted is
that of Mr.. Jablochkoff, Russian. The
Figaro newspaper lights the front Of the
Office, where it is produced, with the
magical candle. sMr. King says:
"The electric candle used by Jabloch-
koff is formed of two cylindrical strips of
coal. placed one beside the other, and
separated by peculiar isolating matter.
The lower extremities of these strips of
coal are set in tive brass tubes, and these
La turn are fastened into chandelier
bracket. The strips are bound SO that
they cannot fall apart. When the cur
rent is passed in the voltaic arch it springs
into life between the two extremities OF
the coal strips, which burn little by little
by contact with the air. The isoIating
matter heats, melts, party voltaizes and
makes the space between the coal good
conductor--far better than it is in the
ordinary system Of lighting with the
regulator. The candle should be pro-
tected by an opaline globe, as it is in
most places whore it is used in Paris.
The price of one of these candles, burn
ing an hour and half, and giving
light equal to one hundred and thirty
gas jets, is fifteen cents. All sizes Of
candles can be furnished, and they can
be placed in almost every conceivable
position. One horse power Of an ordi-
nary steam engine is required for each
separate electric light, or group Of lights;
that is, q force equivalent to that must
be supplied to the dynamo electric
machine"
Il is already proposed to use the cleo
trical candle in festivals associated with
the great exposition.

AT one of the schools in Cornwall
England, the inspector asked the children
if they could quote any text of scripture
which forbade man having two wives.
One of the children sagely quoted in
reply the text, " No man can serve two

" A Lamp to Nv Feet.

This is what David called the Bible.
Not light up in the sky, like the SUM-
which shines on everybody, whether
Trey want it or not--but light that we
must take in our hands, and trim, and
carry with us wherever we go; light
for everyday life, and that we must be
always throwing upon the steps of that
life. We can't get enough Bible on the
Sabbath to last all the week, or enough
in the morning to last all the day. No;
we must take it with us--in our memo
ries and in our hearts--wherever we 60.
We must apply its principles to every
new emergency. We must obey its pre-
cepts at all times. Thus only .can we
ever "walk in the light" and find our
path shining more and more unto the
perfect day.

He CaIleth for Thee.

When Jesus had come from q beyond
the Jordan" to Bethany, "glad for the
sake of his disciples that he was not
present at the death of his friend, so that
he might wake him out of sleep in their
presence, and when he had come into
the suburbs of the village and near to
the grave, Martha sent to the con.
templative Mary, still sitting among her
friends in the house." saying, "The
Master is come. and calleth for thee"
And at once the question arises in our
minds, Why? Why was it that Jesus
did not hasten on and raise the dead
man, and then lead him to the house, a
grand surprise to the sorrowing sister?
We think that we know the reason. It
was not the custom of the Lord JESUS
it would not have been consonant with
the grand purpose of his mission to
earth---to do his great deeds in secret.
He: must haze aostnessess; and when
practicable, and just SO far as practica~
bic, human agencies must cooperate
with the divine power. At all events,
the works of Jesus were not to be done in
secret, not unknown to those most in
terested in them. Lazarus could not be
raised from the dead while "Mary sat
still in the house" Herald and Pres

Stand By Your Colors.

When you join church, you should
calculate to stand by your colors. What
is soldier good for who drops out of the
ranks, or skulks, or runs, the moment
the cause is in peril? What is church
member worth who becomes invisible
Just when his services could be of some
value? If you are in large church
where workers are abundant, you may
without harm keep modestly in the back
ground; but, in case the ranks are thin,
your response should ring out at every
roll-caI. As a Christian soldier, you
have enlisted for the war; how can you
settle it in the court of conscience that
you are delinquent in the breach ? What
good opinion can you have of yourself,
if, when in large church, You press
your way to the front ranks and seek
promotion, and then when your lot falls
among small people, who really need
your help, you keep your letter in your
pocket or pass it over to some other
denomination which happens to be larger
or more popular than your own? That
course is sad commentary on your re.
ligion. But we fear it is true history
of many sham professor. If they are
not deserters from the ranks, they are
shirks and pretenders, and, as such, q
source of positive weakness to any body
to which they belong.--[Zion's Herald.

The President will, in his message
to Congress, discuss the yellow fever
scourge and the methods by which il
can be prevented. He will review
the epidemic of the summer from the
beginning to the present time. discuss
the means adopted to suppress it, and
recommend action by Congress. The
President will favor the idea that the
epidemic can only be prevented by
rigid quarantine against the tropics.
taking the ground that the disease is
not indigenous and can only be de-
feated by these means. The South
has long been conterding for a rigid
quarantine. The Atlantic ports which
deal with the tropics, but which have
not been troubled with the disease, will
naturally oppose any national quaran.
