SIR GARNET WOLsELEY's AFRICAN EX-
PEDITIoN.-He has supreme authority.
He has the prestige which comes of uni
form success-unless his administration
of Cyprus must be accounted failure,
where he had innumerable silk purses to
make out of proverbially unsuitable
material. For the first time, however,
he will find himself in command of a
considerable foyce-near 10000 men of
all arms and races. It would hardly
help you to estimate his chances of win
ming glory if dilated on his social quail
ties; but may say that he is personally
popular, that he has the difficulty of at
taching men to him, that his officers
served him zealously and that his only
very marked antipathy is to special cor
respondents in the field. I met him
shortly before he went to Cyprus. Heis
man of slight frame and middle height,
quiet in manner, with something about
him that marks in every glance and ges-
ture his life of arms and adventure. The
most striking feature of his spare brown
face scantily fringed with whisker, in
in the epes, which are rather small, but
curiously reckless and keen. He is
reckoned the most favored soldier in Her
Maiesty's service. Perahps no other
man, not of royal birth, has had such
chances, or risen SO rapidly. He is Sc
much in request that I heard an Eng.
lishman say recently, almost bitterly
that whatever had to be done there was
but one man to do it. Another limited
at the same thing when he said that Sil
Garnet Wolseley was liked by every
body except the officers over whose
heads he had been promoted-a toler-
ably numerous company.

The Electric Light.

If high scientific attachments ought to
confer a title to respect and attention, the
opinion of Sir William Thompson, Pro-
fessor of Natural Philosophy at the Uni
versity of Glasgow on the subject of the
electric light is worthy of the fullest con-
sideration. The science of lightning by
electricity has been SO developed that
the possibility of its general application is
no longer matter of doubt It is at once
the cheapest, safest and most brilliant IL
Illuminating agent that has yet been dis
covered. Sir William Thompson believes
that its general introduction as means
of illumination in every position in which
fixed light is required will certainly
take place in the near future. The most
improved form of burner that has yet
been devised is that constructed by
Messrs. Siemens, of Woolwich, and used
in their factory. 1t was this description
of lamp that was exhibited by the Pro-
fessor at Glasgow University and afforded
the subject of his lecture. Sir William
Thompson believes that it will shortly be
adopted as the means of lighting streets,
public buildings and the interior of all
large rooms where much light is required.
The Professors enthusiasm on the SUBJ
ject may by some be thought to be
tinctured WITH extravaganza when be sug-
gests the possibility of lighting an Ameri-
C<au COllIlucuG Will cleCIriClIy S0uerdIoQ
by means of engines worked by the stu
pendous water power of Niagara. We
clip from the London Times the portion
of Sir William Thompson's remarks in
which he refers to this subject
He-was also of the opinion that great
deal of natural energy which was now
lost might be advantageously applied in
the future to lighting and manufactures.
There was deal of energy in waterfalls.
in the future no doubt, such water as the
Falls of Niagara would be extensively
used-indeed, he believed the Falls of
Niagara would in the future be used for
the production of light and mechanical
power over a large area of North America.
The electricity produced by them might
be advantageously conducted for hum
dreds of miles, and the manufactures of
whole towns might be set in motion by it.
Powerful copper conductors would have
to be used,-conductors of a tubular form,
with water flowing through them to keep
them cool. There would be no limit to
the application of the electricity as mo-
tive power. It might do all the work that
could be done by steam engines of the
most powerful description.
AS to the use of electricity by means of
the Falls of Niagara, his idea was to drive
dynamic engines by water power in the
neighborhood of the falls, and then to
have conductors to transmit the force to
the places where illumination or the de-
velopment of mechanical power was
wanted. There would be no danger of
terrible effects being brought about acci-
dentally by the use of such terrific power,
because the currents employed would be
continuous and not alternating.
