4 NOVEL system of electric light
ing is described in the Scientific
American for this week. Only one
lamp with carbon points, is used to
illuminate u large number Of apart
ments. The lamp is placed near the
generator Of electricity and surround
ed by lenses and refectors, Forming a
chamber Of light. These lenses are
to concentrate the light intoas many
beams of parallel rays as may be
required, which beams are then car.
ried through pipes in the street or
house to the places to be illuminated.
At the bends reHectors are arranged
to change the direction of the beam,
aud where the light Is wanted for one
apartment, and the beamstili hac duty
to perform in an adjoining room, only
a part of the beam is bent in the first
apartment. The inventors of the ap.
paratus are Messrs, Molera and Cebn.
an, Of San francisco, CAL, and they
declare that they have produced one

The Atchison (Kansas) Patriot
thinks that Kansas has been particu-
larry unfortunate in the selection Of
her United States senators. There
was Jim Lane. He fills a suicides
grave. There was Pomeroy. A thous-
and years will not eiface his memory.
There was Ross. He dared to do
right, and-well, Ross was spurned by
his party, and died a political death.
There was Caldwell. Driven in dis
grace from the senate, he rests now in
deep oblivion. There is ingalls,. He
is on trial and the end is not yet.
There was Harvey, poor old Harvey
so far below mediocrity the world has
forgotten him. And there is Plumb.
A current story of him goes to Gil up
the measure eof our unenviable fame
given us by our Kansas senator's.

THE American association for the
advancement of science is to hold its
twenty-eighth meeting at Saratoga, in
August of this year. Science has
made great advances Of late years,
largely as the result of the opportu-
nifty afforded by such ASSOCIATIONS and
journalism to make public new dis
cOveries, inventions and theories.
Professor Tyndall says that scientific
thought reaches certain levels, to
which the foremost pioneers had at
tanned, and at about the same periods
those pioneers make fresh advances
and often reach the same results sim.
ultaneously. Associations for the pre-
sentation and discussion of scientific
subjects and the publications which
they issue, or which are called forth
by their meetings, help to shorten the
periods when, the main army having
caught up to the pioneers, the latter
are at liberty to again go forward.

About the Streets.

II is a we'll known fact that never be-
fore was the Street Department managed
so cheaply aud efficiently as it has been
the past few months, under the atle
management of Mr.. McMenamin' His
pay rolls Tor the pas, month rave been
less than 500 per week, and for the
present week 1t will not reach $50. This
time two years ago, under Republican
,ule, the pay rolls averaged $50 per
week. From now until late in the
Spring, there will be very little street
cleaning to do, aud, as the cost of the
work will not exceed 500 per week, it
is proposed to postpone the cleaning Of
the streets by contract until June next,
instead of commencing in January, as
proposed by ordinance.
1he contract plan, it is urged, will
probably cost from $500 to 5000 per
month at least, while the city can do the
work for the first four or five months of
the year Tor from $500 to $400 per month.
In view of the straightened financial af-
fairs of the city, Mr.. McMenamin thinks
it would be Use to defer the cohtIac
until June, though personally he would
prefer 1t being entered into at once, as
the cleaning Of the streets by contract
would relieve him Of great deal OF trou-
bile and bother. The matter will be d s.
cussed At the next meeti ng Of Council.
