THE VICTORIOUS BoERs.

The Beers have inflicted another severe
defeat upon the British forces under
General Colley. Fortunately for himself,
that General fell in the action. The main
cause of this disaster appears to have been
a lack of ammunition. General Colley
had taken a small force and posted it on
a hill overlooking the lager of the Beers.
The position was one which so completely
commanded the enemy's camp that if it
had been held the Beers must have aban-
doned their ground. But with the fatal
incompetence which has so often led
British troops to the slaughter of late
years. the commanding officer failed to
secure proper supply of ammunition,
and so when the Beers had attacked
the hill for a time it was found that
its defenders had no more cartridges.
Nevertheless the brave soldiers held
their ground, and after hurting stones
down upon the advancing Beers, met
them with the bayonet. But of
course SO unequal a contest could
not be maintained, and General Col
ley's detachment was finally almost cut to
pieces. The officer responsible for this
frightful blunder is dead, and therefore
beyond the reach of censure. So are the

Lighting STREETS BY ELECTRICITY

Some timely suggestions for the improve
ment Of the present attempts to light the
streets by electricity are made in the
Scientific American. What is required, it
says, is that all the light which is now lost
by passing upward shall, by means of a
bright radiating surface of tolerably large
area, be arrested and projected downward
in the direction where it is really required.
Dimension in the radiator is of Importance,
inasmuch as this forms condition of soft
ness and diffusiveness of the light. From
several experiments which have been tried
on small scale, it is believed that valu-
able means for utilizing in the most eff.
cient manner the light from the electric
lamp is to have erected over and at no great
distance from it a nearly fiat circular plate
of coarsely- ground glass coated with sill
yer. The ground surface should be
farthest from the light, and the de.
posit Of silver protected first by a
coating of varnish and afterward by
a casing of thin metal. This insures
the rejecting surface against becoming i'm
paired by atmospheric or other deleterious
influences. But it is also an essential part
of this radiating reflector" that it be
surrounded by deep edge, also of silvered
glass, bevelled outward in such degree as
to prevent any rays from passing out in
horizontal direction THAT is, if the electric
lamp be erected high overhead), but so as
to arrest and diffuse them downward,
which, by proper selection of the angle
at which the bevel is given to the edge,
can be done so as to cause the greatest
benefit to be received by those parts at
distance away from the lamp. In such
cases where it is desirable to hide the light
itself from the eye, this may be done in
the best manner by the interposition of
plate OF ground glass, which, of all other
difusers or radiators, is found to absorb
less of the light than any other diaphanous
body. Some kinds of porcelain shades are
known to absorb 60 per cent. of the light
to ground glass such an objection cannot
apply.

BOOMERANG WORK.

1t is significant that the Eastern press is
using the anti-debris arguments at the
present time as reasons why Congress
should refuse to afford California adequate
assistance in preventing the destruction of
our rivers by the debris. The Eastern
Journals assert that the measures which
had been undertaken by the State for the
relief of the Sacramento valley are about
TO be repealed, and that as this indicates a
determination on the part of the California
people to abandon the whole business, it
would be absurd for Congress to do anything
in the premises. Yet it is to be noted further
that the loudest clamorers for the repeal
of the debris bill have been fatuous
enough to imagine that Congress could be
induced to undertake the relief work
after the State had refused to carry it on.
The RECORD. UNION pointed out long ago
that Congress could not be expected to
help us until it had been made apparent
that we were willing and ready to help
ourselves, and now this position is being
Justified by events. The fact is that those
Californians who wish to repudiate the
principlesof community interest as regards
State concerns are finding that Congress
can 90 step or two farther than them,
and repudiate community interest as re-
