THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 2s.

Pany 10 Walthe m. The department. especially
selected covers an area of about IA 900 square
feet employs about $40 operatives, and is filed
with machinery that, IN the intricacy of its
parts and the necessity for good light for
their proper manipulation, renders this very
substantial test. Much of the work is in high
colors, and will also demonstrate the useful
qualities of the electric light in this respect.
Even Edison owes something of his success
as an inventor to happy accident. He recent
ly made great improvement in his electric
light by the merest chance. While expert
menting with burner, he dropped his screw
driver upon it, twisting it quite out of shape,
but Immediately doubling the intensity of the
light. H. restored the burner TO its original
shape aud the light was at once diminished
Now he makes all his barners of the shape acct
dentslly given to it by the fall of the screw
driver.
Even the gravest subjects hava humorous
side. The war just begun between England
and Afghanistan is far enough from being a
trihing matter, and the ultimate issues of it
may be quite momentous, but there is an Incl
dent connected with its opening, at which 1t is
deal about theEnglish" ultimatum'' TO theAmeer
Now it is one thing for the British Cabinet, in
their comfortable quarters at Londou, to pre-
pare such document, and it is another thing
for the humble servants of Her Majesty whose
post is inconveriently near the Ameer, to for
ward the document to its destination. The
news of the ultimatum caused something like
CONSERVATION at Peshawur. No one craved
the honor OF conveying the message to Cabul;
indeed no one could bs found who for love,
loyalty, or money would undertake the errand
Finally it was decided that it would be suffi-
cient to put the ultimatum into the hands Of
the commander of the fort Ali Musiid, and
copy of the document was placed in the
Ameer's private post Office at Peshawur. This
spectacle of the great nation, ION whose en-
pire the sun never sets," declaring war through
the mails-by postal card it were-is certain
ly amusing; and those observers in ILdia who
are comparing it to the stirring up of bear
with long pole, may be pardoned for their ir-
reyerebcp
