PaRATUs HALF MILE DISTANT.

ETyFCr IN TIE TRIBUNE BUILDING FROM AN AP-
PaRATUs HALF A MILE DISTANT.
An experiment was made last night with
che electric light by ArBoux Hochhausen at their
dice at Howard and Centre-sts The apparatus "a a
modification Of the machine used In Paris, but the rm
claim that IL Is simpler cheaper. and equally
effective. The light Of course, as in all these ma
chimes proceeds from the combustion Of carbon points,
between which powerful electric currents pass, and the
difficulties In the practical Of the light are here az
they have been everywhere, twOfOid FIRST the difficulty
Of dividing the current TO give separate lights
when wanted in the same ROOM or IN different rooms
from the same machine and secondly the difficulty OF
securing such steady combustion Of the earbons as
shall prevent iekerning. The machine may be use for
lighting Offices and stores, 1t win servo for inumna-
ting an entire park or stretch Of sea beach.
Last night the apparatus was placed on tho roof OF

of Kenosha county, was the first re-
celved this fall at the office of the State
Superintendent. Wisconsin Journal
of Education.
The Jefferson county fair had a
School Day. this year which was a
perfect success. 2547 specimens of

excellent address.
Wisconsin is one of the nine States
that received diplomas for their Edu-
cational exhibit at the Paris EXPOSE

Milwaukee, st. Louis, and Washington
received diplomas. It is gratifying to
know that Milwaukee sustains the
high rank which was awarded her at
our Centennial Exhibition. She now
stands second only to Boston.

TEACHERS MEETINGS.

What does the term "Teachers
Meetings" mean. The casual meeting
Of two or three teachers /? No. Itshouzo
mean regularly organized association
having in view definite purpose, that
OF the encouragement of it's members
the lnterchanging of ideas and the
consequent improvements in our com.
mon shool system.
Let US examine each of these pur-
poses separately, taking first that OF
encouragement of members. What
can encourage a teacher more than to
meet and grasp the hand of a fellow
laborer. Feeling that here is one who
has something in common with you
To listen to the story of trials, which
make you feel you are not the o7azg one
who has his difficulties to overcome
How much it encourages a teacher to
listen to the reports of others and find
that, while you may be behind them
in some things, you are ahead in others
and you go away, determined to make
up what you lack.
The second point, the interchange Of
ideas, is an important one. Different
teachers have class exercises. These
are supposed to be model Rotations
The teacher in charge calls for the
opinion and method CT the teachers
present, and in this way, each one has
the benefit of the experience of the
others.
Members of all professions have their
associations and the teachers profess
sion is certainly more important than
any other.
Stockraisers have meetings to discuss
ways OF improving stock. Dairynae7a
have meetings to exchange ideas on
cheese and butter. Farmers
have conventions to discuss raising
good crops of hay, oats, and corn, and
the best way of cultivatlng the soil for
the production of these.
Far more important than these, is the
cultivation of the iaatellects and morals
Of the children entrusted to the teach
ers' care. Then, can we fail to see the
need of meetings and discussions as to
the best methods for doing this.
We hope that this is clear, that teach
ers a0i1t see the need, and profit by the
suggestions of this article. A. S. G.
