war upon the vermin. The other morning he came
down from his chamber with bloody hose and
went for Howe because rat with the evident in

nose sometime during the night and had gnawed
it about half of. The Frcnchman was provoked
with Howe because he kept such large rats in the

One of the rooms of the Fall Mountain Pape
Company at Bellows Falls is lighted by an electro
light manufactured by the Fuller Electric Ligh
COMPANY of New York. A local correspondent
saws: The inventor was a native of Bellows Falls
and in the town of his birth he chose to develop hi
invention. The electricity is developed by ma
chine driven by three inch belt taking three hors
uowcr to drive it. 1t consists oftwo coil magnets
five inches in diameter and twenty inches in length
b ing connected at the end by pieces oil steel aOou
the same length. Between these magnets vince
about ten inches in dla meter revolves with I'M
rapidity of thirteen hundred revolutions per min
ute. On this wheel are placed sixteen armatures
from which wire leading from each TO the end o
the shaft collects the electricity, which is conveyed
to the lamp by large copper wires, which are nc
| insulated the wood with which 1t comes in contac
not taking away enough electricity to pay for In
sulating. The lights caused, as in all electri
lights by the eaping of the electric fluid over abou

These two lengths are placed opposite in the lami

that small particles Of the long pencil pass win ID
current to the short one, both OF them keepin

out together. The rest OF the lamps machinery
