wire-gauze, the combination producing a
remarkable brilliant incandeScent light.
The burner consists of two pipes-one for
the supply of air at a pressure sufficient
to balance a 6 in. column of water, and
the other for the gas, which is conducted
from the meter in the ordinary way. On
the top of the burner is a cap about two
inches high and half an inch in diameter,
formed of platinum wire gauze OF very
fine mesh. The air under pressure Is
delivered from an inner tube, opening INTO
a larger one near the top of the burner,
with an opening at its lower end When
the air is turned on an induced upward
current is produced, and gas being
ted at the same time, the two combine
end pass into the platinum cap. Upon
the mixture being ignited, the cap III a
few seconds gives forth a brilliant mean
descent glow of high Illuminating power.
The combined air and gas is SO acted
upon by the intense heat of the wire

of a polished silver plate after having
been held over the burner until it was
highly heated,) a brilliant light, accompa-

made for lighting the t1oroughfares from
Clerkenwell-green to the Angel, Islington,
by this method, so that the public will
shortly have an opportunity of judging OF
its merits as an outdoor illumination. For
this purpose the compressed air will be
supplied through a special main laid
down along the roadway and c~0mmunicat-
ing with the burners, which will be placed
in Sugg'S lanterns. At the same time
arrangements will be made to supply the
air to burners in shops and private houses
on the route. The air will be compressed
at the works by a small engine driving a
compressor, and will be stored in reSer.

that, other things being equal, we may
expect to see the incandeScent gas light
take its place as a successful rival to the
electric light under certain conditions,
and become a means of prol0n ing the
days of gas as an Illuminating agent

But, in order to bring about his nap
py state of things, it is not enough
that the greater part OF the nation be
gifted with common sense. The pre-
sance of a badly-disposed minority
is as the Ii. lie leaven which ~leaveneth
the whole lump. The temptation it
offers to the formation OF party coal
itions is 100 great to be resisted.
The infection spreads from the Lee
gislature to the constituencies, and
the people, who in their hearts trust
and wish to support the Minister, are
too often found to condone the action
of their representatives IN voting
against him. When the German
nation comes to see this, it will seek
to be saved from self,-savel, that
is, from the weak, yet irreprrsslble
desire to quarrel with the guidance
wuich in its heart it knows to be
best for it, $50 long," the Germans
will say, " as we have to go through
the form of sending Representatives,
to Berlin, we cannot help feeling o
foolish pleasure when they make
themselves important, and try ia
show that even the Chancellor him
self is not beyond their control. Yet
all the time we trust the Chancellor
a great deal more than we trust them,
and we should be more sure that all
was going on as we wish, if his action
were alto !ether untettered." Ii
Prince Bismarck were as great in
domestic legislation as he is in the
management of foreign affairs, this
reasoning of his might for a time De
justified by the event. Its concelV-
able, ut all events, that a Minister
holding the exceptions position waNch
Prince Bismarck holds, and framing
his measures in accordance with
the best economical and fnan-
cial opinion, might appeal success
fully from Parliament to the people.
He might convince them that what
he wants to do is what is really best
for the country, and that this a be
more surely obtained by allowing
him to govern for a time without a
Parliament, than by compelling him
to pilot his measures through the
rocks and quicksands Of legislation.
But Prince Bismarck labours under
the disadvantage Of having, as re-
CARDS his home policy, very few toll
lowers. The best economical and
financial opinion Of Germany is alto
gether opposed to the measures ne
his most at heart. 1t does not be-
lieve in the creation of monopolies as
a means of raising revenue, MOI IN
making the workman dependent on
the State as a means of %~uppressing
Socialism. The good education OF
his c%ouutrymen makes against the
Chancellor. They know too we'll
that these PROJECTS are only revivals
of similar projects that have been
tried and found wanting, and they do
not wish TO see Germany given over
to a policy which in their judgment
is nothing better than economical
charlatanry.
The chance, therefore, that next
November will see either a more sub
mrssive Parliament than the present,
or the suspension, with the consent
of the Garman neopIe. of Parliament

TIL German Parliament las been
prorogued till the 30th OF November,
and for that time, at al events,
Prince Bismarck will be spared the
annoyance Of seeing a machine in
operation which he honestly believes
to b. exceedingly mischievous. Pro-
baby, too, he hopes that the discov
cry that afftirs 90 on much the same

Inlay ope the eyes Of the Ger
man people to their own great good
fortune. Where would other coun-
tries be if Parliament were sent to
bed like a naughty child, whenever
it offends those who rule over it7
They would not know to whom to
look in the interval. They have
their Ministers, it is true; but those
Ministers are themselves dependent
on Parliament. How can a man
protect his country, when he has not
the strength to project himself? He
must be something more than the
mere creature of a momentary majo-
riy, before he will command the
confidence of those whom he rules.
1t is only to Prince Bismarck that a
whole nation can say, in the words
of the hymn
"Sufficient is thine arm alone
And our defence is sure"
Perhaps by next winter the German
Parliament will have become wiser,
and even if il has not, a dissolution
will be six months nearer. Prince
Bismarck may not, perhaps, believe
that the next General Election will
give him ii majority-but he seems
to have no doubt that some future
election will; his distrust of Paula
mentary Government is so complete,
that he cannot believe but that it will
in time be shared by the people.
There is such a thing as German
common-sense, and this is tanta-
mount, he thinks. to saying that Ger
mans will not always be Liberals.
When they cease to lac Liberals, the
first error they will u%nlrarn will be
the error If thinking that fools know
better than wise men how fools
ought to be governed.
The process by which Prince Bis
marck arrives at bis belief that some
day or other The German people will
share his dislike Of Parliamenls may
be something like this They will
come by degrees to see how the
breakup of a Legislature into seve-
raj groups gives a single faction the
power of doing incalculable mischief.
Of course, if the whole nation were
j.. gifted with common sense, and at the
same time agreed with Prince Bis
marck, there would be no need to
dispense with Parliament. 1t would
see things as Prince Bismarck sees
them, and the measures he proposed
to pass would be the measures that

The Old Year Ont and the New One in.

The citizen of Ketchum according to
a time-honored custom, celebrated the
advent of the year 1882 by keeping their
lamps trimmed and burning, watching
the old year out and the new year in.
Monday having been selected for New
Years festivities, the streets We're alive
with people. The Ketchum brass band
was out making the occasion musical as
well as joyous. Emissions of Orum with
e.ctractum rini by the generous hearted
business men of town (some OF the
ladies had hand in it alsol was caused
to flow as free rs pure Mater Every
body enjoyed themselves hugely and
wound up the day with o brilliant dance
at Mrs. Hines Hall and IA social hop at
Bakers Hotel. Both pislces were repre-
sented by the elite of the Keystone city,
and all had a good time generally.

Baxter's Hotel ON New Years Eve. it
was only u family party and but few in
vitations were given About thirty were
present and it was very social time.
There was dancing, charades and music
by the Silver Band. At the same time
there was another private party at Mrs
Hines Hotel, given by Mrs. Hines, Mrs
Anderson, Mrs. West and Mrs. Roberts.
About the same number of friends We're
there. Both parties were a decided sue
cess. and New Years Day of 1882 will
long be remembered by the good people
of Ketchum. These are the beginning
of friendly entertainments for the
winter and will be enjoyed by all. Mrs.
Hines and Mr.. Baxter have fine rooms
for such entertainments.

that soon after commencing work under
the lease they struck a large vein of rich
ore, and recently they drifted into a
wide cave-like opening containing u
deposit of like mineral. Up TO the time
he left the mine they had put out on the
dump 1870 tons of tirst-class ore, and had
more in sight than at any time previous,

On Christmas evening about 3 o'clock
L. S. Matherson left Bradley's station,
near Boulder, on the Galena road, for his
camp, but has not seen or heard from
from since. 1t was showing quite fast,
and as lie had to cross the river on a log,
it is thought he slipped from it and
was drowned. He had been drinking
that day considerably. AS soon as it
was known that lie was missing the
lumbermen turned out in body and
hunted for him, but could not find amy
trace of him up TO this time. He was
an Austrian by birth; well educated and
to appearances very fine man.
