Electric Light in Chicago.
lChica1o Times,

The new electric light at the water-works
was tested last night under the direction of
Prof. Barrett and DR.. Hill. Two lamps
are employed and are suspended from the
ceiling on the west side of tho engine-room.
The lamps consist of coil of wire, called O
magnetizing helix, containing a movable
core, which regulates the movement of the
upper carbon. The two carbons are like
the carbon Of lead pencil, only they are
three-eights Of an inch square, and are
coiled with copper to make them better con-
ductors. The ends of the carbon are sepa-
rated quarter of an inch, and it is the flow
of the current across that space that gener-
ates the light.
As last nights test was first experiment
of course perfection could not be expected,
but it was very satisfactory. The entire en-
gine room was brilliantly lighted, nor was
any Inconvenience felt from = glare, which
might have been looked for. The light was
somewhat unsteady, owing to the fact that
the conducting wires were too small, but that
can be easily remetlied. Tho light was also
colored a pale green, giving things a
ghostly look, and as the intensity of the
light varied the color varied also to blue,
violet, orange, red, etc., producing pretty
effect, but rendering the test not perfect.
The color Of the light is supposed to be due
to impurities in the copper covering Of the
arbon points, which time and experience
will remove.
Each lamp has power of two thousand
candles, 10 that the two have power of four
thousand candles. They are also equal to
six hundred and sixty-six jets burning ak
feet pr hour. The lamps as they stand will
brilliantly light room two hundred feet
square; with parabolio reflector they will
throw 4 light by which one could
read paper At ton miles, and

Theology In the Bud.

Once on time my cousins child, a
four-year old boy, had to "try on" some
garments. His admiring mother, find
ing she had made bad muddlc of the
cutting, naturally vented her own irrita-
tion on the restive little figure wriggling
under the inf1iction of stalking in here
and letting out there" 1t ended in her
giving the poor child q slight shaking.
At night, as his mother was preparing
him for bed, he said, Il was so naughty

suddenly, "Say, mamma, tell me what

A Serpent Among the Books.

One day a gentleman in India went in
to his library and took down book from
the shelves. AS he did so he felt slight
pain in his finger, like the prick Of pin.
He thought that pin had been stuck by
some carelesa person in the cover of the
book. But soon his finger began to swell
then his arm, and then his whole body,
and in few days he died. 1t was not
pin among the books, but small and
deadly serpent. There are many serpents
among the books nowadays They nestle
in the foliage of some of our most fas-
cinatiDg literature: they coil around the
flowers whose perfume inioxicates the
senses. We read, we are charmed with
the plot of the story, by the skill with
which the characters are sculptured or
grouped, by the gorgeousness of the word
painting-we hardly feel the pin-prick
of the evil that is insinuated. But it
stings and poisons US. When the record
of human souls is made up, on what
multtudes will be inscribed, "Poisoned
by the serpents among the books!"

Good Tools.

Good tools are half the battle in
farming some one has said, and am
inclined to think there is more truth than
poetry in it; know it is great deal
easier to work with good tools than with
poor ones, l have tried both and am
decidedly in favor OF the former. Good
tools are far cheaper In the end than poor
ones. It is true poor ones usually cost
less to begin with, but the purchaser can
not do so much work with them as with
good ones, and then again, there are
many more repairs to be made on tlem,
SO that in the end they are the most ex-
pensive. For instance, farmer wants
wagon; his neighbor has two which he
must sell, therefore he offers them cheap.
One nearly as good as new, while the
other has been run a great may years
and is weak in many parts. He doesn't
know which to buy, but finally concludes
10 take the old one, as it is few dollars
cheaper andlh lhe thinks it will do for his bust
ness as well as the other. So he takes it
home and goes to work. It does very
we'll for few days, but finally he get on
too heavy load, drives over little, and
whoa! his wagon has broken down. Now
he is in fix his team must lie still day or
two, his work must be neglected (perhaps
it is planting time, or he has lot Of hay
OUT and he must 60 off right in the rush
of work and get his wagon repaired,
costing him more than it would to have
got the best one which his neighbor
offered him. Now, wouldn't he have
been better off if he had god good
wagon in the first placcz So it is in re-
gard to plows, moving machines. horse
rakes, and indeed all other tools which
u farmer uses. 1t is my opinion, and
that Of many other farmers that " the
best is the cheapest" Therefore, when
you want any tools, first find where Tou
can get the best" and then buy them.

A novel discovery has been made in
the library of Lyons, France. 1t is map o
the entire system Of the entire plateau of
Africa, which has been of late years explored
by Grant, Baker, Livingstone and Stanley
The system is traced upon the globe which was
constructed in l701, and contains in detail the
sources of the Nile and the Congo. This map
was executed by order Of Fathers Placide de
Saint Amour, principal of the Monastery of
the Third Order Of st. Francis, by Crispurien
Of Toulon, and by the monks of Bonavcnture
md Gregoire, both connected with the above
establishment: The report does not mention
the name Of the explorers. The modern
maps place the source Of the two rivers slight.

Parents are often puzzled to help their
children when they get beans, buttons,
ect, in their noses. The Medical Record
says: "Blow the patients nose for him,
by closing the empty nostril with your
finger and blowing suddenly and strong
" into the mouth-an efficient method
which has often succeeded when instru-
ments have failed. The glottis closes
spasmodically, and the whole force of
your breath goes to expel the button or
bean, which com monty flies out at the
