connections. These cost, at present
prices, about ten cents meter (three
cents per FOOT.
Some of the manufacturers of these
lights employ as many as sixteen lamps
OF Acknowledgements each, for one ma
chine, but the general disposition seems
to be to give one light to one machine
AS this light is now made on a large
scale and at these very low prices, it may
be observed that owners of steam-en-
gines that are idle at night are already
making arrangements to employ their
power in running electric lights, which
they let by the hour to those of their
neighbors who wish to light up their
shops or factories, or the streets in front
OF their premises. For docks and all
out-of-door night-work the electric light
has already become indispensable where
ever motive power of any kind can be
obtained.
Concerning some of the later improve
ments made in this method of electric
lighting, two new features may be OBJ
served. In the machines the induced
current in the magnets, in opposition to
the current generated by the movement
OF the armatures, is now shunted or
short-circuited during the time it is in
opposition to the current in the arma-
lures. This is claimed as great gain in
the amount of current utilized, and from
observation, appears to give a decided
gain in light for given machine.
In the lamps, one of the latest i'm
provements is in the manner of regulat-
ing the movement of the carbons The
lower carbon is fixed, the upper carbon
is fastened to the base of rod having a
ratchet on one side. This rod is free to
rise and fall, and in its movement down
ward, by its own weight, sets in motion
train of wheels. The rod and wheels
are supported on lever having slight
vertical play, and controlled by an cleo
tro-magnet. The train of wheels is con-
trolled bya detent that is controlled by a
second and much smaller electro-mag-
net. In operation, the current divides
between the two magnets, the smaller
releasing the detent and allowing the
carbon to descend till it touches the
lower carbon, and the circuit is made
through them both. This accomplished,
the larger magnet comes into play, lift
ing the carbon by raising the lever Slight
ly with the train of wheels, and pulling
the carbons apart just the right distance
As the carbon is burned away the cur.
rent weakens, and is directed through
the smaller magnet, and the detent is re-
leased and the carbon descends again.
This reduces the lamp to the utmost sim
plicity, and gives it precision of action
| that secures GREAT SteadinpSS in the liUht
or sufficient steadiness to make the lamp
available for all practical purposes in the
lighting of large spaces, both without
and Within The Worlds Work."

Animals That Love Music.

Music affects animals differently. Some
rejoice, and are evidently happy when
listening to it, while others show unmis-
taxable dislike to the sound.
For some years my father lived in an
old hall in the neighborhood of one of
our large towns, and there saw the in
fiuence of music upon many animals.
There was beautiful horse, the pride
and delight of us all, and like many
others, he disliked being caught. One
very hot summer day | was sitting at
work in the garden, when old Willy the
gardener appeared, streaming with per-
spiration.
"What is the matter, Willy?"
Matter enough, miss There's that
Robert, the uncanny beast; he won't be
caught, all can do or say. I've give
him corn, and one of the best pears off
the tree; but he's too deep for me-he
snatched the pear, kicked up his heels,
and off he is, laughing at me, at the bot
tom of the meadow"
"Well, Willy, what can l do? He
won't let me catch him, you know"
cay, but, miss, if you will only Just

cook says he will come up to the fence
and hearken to you, for he is always a.
doing that; and maybe can slip behind
and cotch him."
went in at once, not expecting my
stratagem to succeed. But in few
minutes the saucy creature was standing
quietly listening while played "Scots,
wha haze wi Wallace bled.n The halter
was soon round his neck, and he went
away to be harnessed, quite happy and
contented.
There was a great popularity about
his taste for music. He never would
stay to listen to plaintive song. Isoon
observed this. If played 50 Scots, wha
hae," he would listen, well pleased. If
changed the measure and expression,
playing the same air plaintively, he would
toss his head and walk away, as if to say,
THAT is not my sort of music" Chang
ing to something martial, he would re-
turn and listen to me.
In this respect he entirely differed from
beautiful COW we had. She had an
awful temper. She never would 90 with
the other cows at milking-time. She
liked the cook, and, when not too busy,
Cook would manage Miss Nancy. When
the cook MIXED her, it was always close
to the fence, near the drawing-room. If
| were playing, she would stand perfectly
still, yielding her milk without any
trouble, and would remain until ceased.
As,long as played plaintive music-the

Progress in Electric Lighting.

The use of the voltaic arc for illumina-
ton has made steady advance in popu-
lar favor within the last year. Lamps of
from few hundred candle-power up
to many thousand candle-power are
being set up as permanent fixtures in
shops, halls, stores, and in streets and
squares. The rivalry of the different
manufacturers has led to great improve
ments in the power and convenience of
the machines for maintaining the cleo
trical current, and in the lamps. The
machines are all constructed on the same
general principles, and the lamps have
gained both in steadiness and in simple
ity, and even in elegance of form, some
of them being quite ornamental. The
prices of the machines and lamps have
been materially reduced, and this fact,
with the greater efficiency of the lamp,
has drawn attention to the value of this
method of electrical lighting and placed
the matter upon firm business basis.
The light of the voltaic arc may now be
recognized as a permanent feature OF
modern civilization.
In lighting streets this form of electric
lamp has not displaced gas, nor is it likely
to do so at present, for the simple reason
that people are content with very little
light To light mile of any given street
would cost more by the voltaic arc than
by gas. On the other hand, the electric
lamps would give from six to eight times
as much light, and it appears the public,
or at least, city corporations, are not will
ing to pay one-third more for eight times
as much light. 1t would therefore, APP
pear that the advance in use of the light
springs from special and private wants.
For lighting streets in front OF hotels,
theaters, churches and store, where an
intense light is wanted for part of the
night at particular place, the voltaic
light is both efficient and cheap. In all
cases where steam-power is available, as
in hotels and stores using elevators,
an electric lamp from one to ten
thousand candle-power may easily
be provided. A single machine and
lamp giving an arc light of 1000 CANDLE
power can now be procured for $3.50.
Lights of from 5000 to 10000 candle-
power-and those are sufficient to flood
any ordinary street with light for a dis
lance of one block-cost for machine and
lamp from $3.50 to $400. The smaller
lamp would use about seven-tenths Of a
horsepower and the larger from three to
three and one-half horsepower. The
cost of maintenance will be about one
cent and half per hour for the carbons,
in addition to the motive power and at
tendance. This last item will be very
small for the machine and lamp. Itmay
here be observed that for places where
steam is already provided, small two
horsepower engine for running ma
chine costs about $3.50. To these costs
must also be added the copper wire for

A Nihilist Prison.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph writes: ga short account
OF the celebrated classmates of the Fort
ress OF st. Peter and st. Paul, in which
the NlhilistS are confined immediately
after their arrest, will, doubt not be
perused with interest by your readers.
The writer, ST. Petersburg correspond
ent, obtained access to the classmates by
special order from one of the Grand
Dukes. The classmates are followed out
under the Neva, and directly under the
ramparts. Their only window, little
square hole protected by thick barred
grating, rises but a few inches above the
level of the river. At stated distances
there are iron doors opening into halls
filled with sentinels, who, with loaded
rifle and fixed bayonet, keep watch and
ward over the unhappy tenants of the
cells which open upon them. As for the
tiny prisons, they are very narrow quar-
tiers, square, with stone walls and floors,
and fearfully damp, the water constant
ly dropping about in all directions. A
chair, table and pallet of white wood
form the only furniture. One of the
pallets was found to be covered with a
bed of straw horribly foul, but even this,
poor luxury as it was, must be considered
an exception. The visitor was allowed
entrance to a few of the cells. Their
tenants were pale; they rose as he en-
tered, according to order, but regarded
him with fixed look of despair. The
writer was shown the famous cell in
which was incarcerated the Princess
TarakanOya, daughter of the Empress
Elizabeth, who fell a victim to her rival,
the Empress Catherine H., grandmother
| OF the present Gar. This unhappy
woman persisted in the cell under the
most dramatic circumstances. The Neva.
swollen by the melted snow, suddenly
rose, and the rushing torrent, dashing
with overwhelming strength against the
tiny window, broke in and filled the cell
with water. The Princess was drowned.
The cells of the great State criminals are
lined with mattresses, and rings of iron
are placed in the walls, to which many
of them are bound when they are not
strait-waistcoated. The guide informed
the writer, among other things, that
these unhappy men were asked every
quarter of an hour if they were present.
Whenever they failed to reply, they were
barbarously punished. He also states
that in the wall of the Emperor's room is
an invisible door, communicating with
little passage, very narrow, and lead
ing to subterranean gallery, followed
out under the Neva. The gallery leads
to the fortress, and, in case of revolu-
ton or of imminent peril, the Gar could
disappear in a few seconds from the
Winter Palace, and in few minutes
after find himself in perfect safety in the
Fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul, the
guns of which, in short time, could re-
duce ST. Petersburg to ruins. The palace
of the Gar Paul l., which is now the
Engineers School, was similarly pro-
vided; but when the assassins entered
his room he had not time to flee, and
was struck down at the very moment
when he was about to disappear behind
the secret door, which was already open.

Living With Part Of His Skull Gone.

On June go, 1873, F. Marion Davis, a
heater in the rolling mill of the Philadel-
phia Iron and Steel Company, was struck
by an iron clamp, weighing about four
teen pounds, which was thrown, with
terrible force, from the shaft of re-
volving fly-wheel. The clamp was in the
form of the letter "U," made of square
iron, and one of the exterior angles of
the iron at the curved part of the clamp
struck Mr.. Davis in the forehead, break
ing loose, and partly forcing through the
skin, crescent-shaped fragment of the
frontal bone, measuring three inches in
extreme length and seven-eighths of an
inch in width in the center or widest
part, thus producing not only COM
pound fracture of the skull, but cutting
through the longitudinal sinus or large
blood-vessel of the interior of the top of
the head, permitting an extrusion and
loss of a considerable portion of the
brain substance. This form of fracture,

What Is Not Insured.

According to the Philadelphia hSur-
ance Reporter, tire-insurance policies do
not include the following things:
Fences and other yard-fixtures; also
store-furniture and fixtures and plate
glass doors and windows when the plates
are Of the dimensions of three feet or
more.
1t is important that this fact be men,
toned in the wording of the policy, if
such articles are to be included under the
policy.
The following-named articles are not
included in the security of fire-insur-

Jewelry, plate, watches, musical in
struments, ornaments, medals, curiosi-
ties, patterns, printed music, printed
books, engravings, paintings, picture
frames, sculpture, casts and models,
money or bullion, bills, notes, accounts,
deeds, evidences of debt, or securities.
These should always be specified.
If building falls, no insurance will at
tach, or cover its loss, unless it is caused
by fire.
Stolen property is not to be paid for by
the insurance company.
Losses from explosions are not to be
paid, unless fire ensues, and then only
the actual fire loss is to be settled for
Property standing on leased ground
must be so represented to the company
and expressed in the policy. Goods on
storage must be represented as such.
The assured, in case of fire, must in

claim. In no instance shall he abandon
his premises to firemen or thieves.
