CHAPTER Ii.

I said at the end of the first part of
this statement that l was aroused from
my occupation by the sudden sensation
that some one was in the room with me.
Itwas not SO in fact. One glance round
the formal, gas-lit apartment, with it's
rather skinny curtain looped rather fat
ly against the wall, and its utter absence
Of anything like dark corners or ghostly
recesses, was enough to assure me Of my
error; but the feeling remained with me
all the same, and grew stronger instead
Of passing away. It almost seemed as
though some one were seated at the same
taole with me, breathing near me, occu-
pying the very next chair, and then
gradually there stole over me the same
sensation had had before with regard
to this room, as if some crime, some
deadly, sickening sin, which appalled, me
even while was utterly ignorant Of its
nature, were being. pletted and worked
in.it-something too hideous to be rem
defed into words, but to which I, by the
very fact Of my presence thare, was be-
ing made q party. 1t was then, at that
moment, that the thought Of what / had
seen in the mirror last night came into
my mind. was exactly under the draw
ing-room floor where it had stood-the
vision-woman with hatayful, unsnoken
mystery of horror and despair in her
livid cheeks and dim, dilated eyes. Was

Tho JablochkoR Electric Light.

The London Metropolitan Board
of Works has recently renewed a
contract for one year for lighting the
Victoria Embankment and Waterloo
Bridge with the Jablochkoff electric
light. The Jablochkoff system has
been in successful operation on the
Thames Embankment since the 18th
of December, 1878, when twenty
lights were started between West
minister and Waterloo Bridges.
Twenty lights, extending the work
to Blaekfriars Bridge, were added in
May, 1879, and ten moro were put on
Waterloo Bridge in October last; ten
lights have also been put in the Vic
toria Railway station. All of the
lights on the embankment have been
kept in operation regularly for six
hours each night since they were first
started-a fact that is worthy of con-
sideration when it is borne in mind
that the machinery was originally
arranged for twenty lights only,
with no thought that the system was
to be extended, and that the changes
rendered necessary by each of the
two extensions have had to be made
without interfering with the daily eff
fclency of the apparatus. The price
paid by the Board of Works was, at
first Cd. per hight per hour; it was
rednced to sd. in the first, and Sd.
on the second extension, and has
again been reduced on the renewal
of the contract to 24d. per light per
hour. The Jablochkoff system of
electric lighting is now in use under
almost every possible condition and
in every variety of establishment
in streets, on bridges, in railway sta
tions, theaters, circuses, engineering
and industrial works, docks, basins,
on board steam vessels, in hotels and
in private residences. They are also
in use in Burmah, Persia, Portugal
and Spain, and are rapidly being in-
troduced in nearly all quarters of the
globe.
