ANOTHER application of electricity is
to be noted, of Importance in its relation
to mills, warehouses, stores, shops, yes
sells, etc. BY a simple and ingenious ar
rangement, and small button placed
outside the building, it can be ascer-
tained, after the premises are shut up,
that every partition iron door is closed !;
If any one of these has been neglected,
the omission is at once detected. The
same arrangement or system is likewise
applicable to ships, enabling the COM
mander to know, at any time, if all the
bulkhead doors are closed, and if not,
which one is open.

THERE is lighthouse near the Isle
of Skye which stands in peculiar situa-
tion. Just before it is the width Of q
narrow channel; 70 the left the channel
stretches away for short distance; on
the right itextends indefinitely. A Ian
tern sufficient for the short distances
would avail nothing at the longer ones,
while such light as would be seen at
the longer range would be needlessly
and wastefully blight for the shorter
ores. Recourse has therefore been had
to lantern which, unaided, will light
the narrow channel, while two series of
prisms concentrate and defect a beam
equal to a 6rst-class light over the longer
distances. b. The saving is from f400 to
$500 year.

ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Such is the Introduction Col. Henry Wat
terson was Given to the Veterans Of the
Ohio Soldiers Home--Positive Views as
to Pensions Positively Expressed.
DAYTON, O., June 4.-Henry Watterson, of
the Louisville Cou,1er-J M,nal, lectured in this
city this evening, and addressed large assem-
bly, of veterans of the Soldiers Home this af
ternoon. He was introduced by Hon. Geo. W.
Hink, of Dayton, as Col. Henry Wat,erson
who served on the other side in the late un-
pleasantness. He referred to the late war as q
question beyond party or individual control.
Each man had done his best on either side and
what he thought right, if he were brave and
true soldier, 1t matters little where he stood
when the long muster roll is called. God will
not ask the color of the cloth worn by any
victim. The right Of man to govern himself is
above parties that have their day like dogs.
Were he an autocrat he would not deal out ben
efces with niggardly hand but would multi
ply institutions like the Soldiers Home, nor
stop at Mason and Dixon's line-not till the
veterans Of the South got little with the rest.
In sober earnest he asked only what he was
ready to give, and asked nothing for himself.
In republics there could be no discrimination.
Equality was Indispensable. He would pen
sion every poor soldier and let the politicians
make the most of it.. The quarrel dividing the
victims was not of their making, not Of Their
seeking. 1t has ended and all are once more
soldiers of the Union, mutually interested in g
