In the Shctlands old women still EN-
plDy the spindle and the whorl, exactly
as their ancestors employed them A.
900 years ago, the only difference being
th2t modern whorls are far less ornate
than their antique predecessors. Near
Inverness a potato does duty instead of
a stone or clay whor At Barvas in
the Island of Lewis, the people manu-
facturc handmade pottery without
wheel, as rude as the rudest ever dis
covered among the relics of the stone
age or in use among modern savages.
Yet the inhabitants Of Baryas are not
clothed in skins and eaters of raw flesh:

there is no need to economic it by any
such cunning inventions as oycrshot

Hebrides form another example Of a
surviving archaic type, equally ont Of
keeping at first sight with our existing
civilization. The rough bone bHttoBs,
the stone beds, the one-stilted plows,
the whecless carts dragged along up
on their tilted beams, ana the bismar Of
rude steelyard used in many parts Of
Scotland give rise to similar reflections.
But the strangest instance Of all is the

in Shetland. These consist Of rough
flint flakes, shaped by chipping, and
quite recently used as knives or

A rEcrLIAR accident happened not
long since to one Of the instruments of
the Telephone Dispatch Company in
Boston. The wire connected with the
electric light on one Of the large dry,
,oods stores became loosened, and
dropped upon that extending to the
telephone instrument, and the current
passing through the detached w're was
so powerful that it loosened and melted
the tightly coiled wire in the box,
scorched the woodwork, and otherwise
damaged it so as to render it perfectly
useless. Had an operator been using
the instrument at the time, it must GER
tainly have resulted fatally to him.
