Electricity in Var.

The use OF the electric light in war
fare seems not as yet to be thoroughly
perfected. An experiment was made
with it the other night by the Superb,
now lying off Ramleh. but in the eau
tious language Of the Times correspond
ent, whether it was an advantage or
otherwise is IN open question. mas
much as the officer in charge of the
picket, whose duties it was supposed to
assist, complained that it was generally
on his own men that the light was
thrown, while all around them was
wrapped in n more than Egyptian dark
ness. it seems rather us though on that
occasion, at least, it was very much
otherwise. Indeed, one feels inclined to
say of it much what Sam Weller said
of the dark lantern with which Mr..
Pickwick proposed to guard from dis
covery the midnight loves of Mr.. Win
kle and Miss Allen-''werry nice things,

you don't want to be seen, think they
are more useful arter the candies gone

A Few Words From the Horse.

Don't beat our sore sides so hard and

better servants to you. You know how
oppression only makes you set up your
back, but you will do anything for q
kind master. Don't ride and drive us
about till we are ready to drop, and our
wind is almost broken, and we are reek-
ing with heat and rough usage. Pray
let us have little more water when we
stand, weary and thirsty, with our poor
dry tongues, unable to ask for it. You
have felt the suffering of thirst. sand
for PHYS sake" the horse would say,
''loosen this torturing bearing-rein; we
toss and shake our heads. or we try to
keep them still, and nothing gives us q
moments ease. You, master. would
suffer severely If your head were held
in such position, and we could do
more work and much better without it.
Please remember that we can always
hear your voice, and shall understand
what you want us to do SO much more
quickly if you speak to US quietly, than
if you roar at us. and drag our tender,
worn mouths about. We get SO puzzled
and frightened when you are in rage
with us, that we only founder and
plunge, and make you more and more
angry. Our last entreaty is, that when
we get old and past our work, you will
not let our poor, wasted bodies stagger
along under some load. when our lives
have been spent in your service, but
that you will reward US by having us
Immediately put out of our pain.

The Seven Riddles of the World.

Prof. Du Bois-Reymond is one of the
most prominent members of the Berlin
Academy of Sciences. When he de-
livers his popular lectures there is not q
lecture-room in Berlin large enough to
accommodate his hearers. He is far
from being a theist; still less is he a
Christian. In an address delivered by
him on 'The Limits of Natural
Science he propounded what he called
1.-THE Seven Riddles of the World"--
riddles which have never been explained,
and the majority of which never can be
by mechanical laws.
The first riddle is the nature and es-
sence of matter and force.
The second is the origin of motion.
The origin of life is the third.
The fourth is the apparent design OF
nature.
The fifth is the origin of conscious
ness.
The sixth is the origin of national
thought and language.
The last is the freedom of the will.
OF this Du Bois-Reymond says: "Our
seventh difficulty is none if one resolves
to deny the freedom of the will and to
declare the subjective conviction Of free
dom as an illusion; otherwise it is mex
plicable.n .n

How He Lost The Wager.

Acting vice-presidents sometimes lose
bet as well as ordinary individuals,
and striking instance of this occurred
recently in the United States senate, ac-
cording to the special correspondence
of the Atlanta Constitution. During the
debate on the japanese indemnity bill a
southern senator made bet of wine
with the genial David Davis that Sena-
tor Call, who had submitted some brief
remarks on the bill four times before,
would speak yet again. 1t is said that
Senator Davis revolvod the thing over
in his mind in that careful manner
which has characterized his entire life
and concluded to accept the wager, but,
alas for his delusion regarding Mr.. CALI
physical inability to resume his argu-
ment, for all at once he popped up and
spoke for over an hour upon the BILL
The southern senator with whom the
wager was made whistled for page,
who took missive to the president pro
tempore that he ''would take Hook
heimer in his" This would illustrate
the fact that man can bet with as
much satisfaction on mental phenomena
in the senate as on chickens in cock
inc main.

The Washington Monument.

Progress of tao Work-The Signal oiioe Station
The white, tall, plain shaft of the
Washington monument is foot by foot
daily rising skyward, and its compile
ton, in due course of time, is now as
sured, says the Washington Post. It is
already a landmark visible from any
part of Washington, and the inhabi-
tants, after q generation of ridicule, are
beginning to be proud OF it. Apart
from its unique character as an archi-
tectural wonder, modern science pro-
poses to utilize it for the public benefit.
The signal Office expects to have a per-
manent station at its summit, and its
officers say that observations of the air
and atmospheric movements taken AZ
an altitude of $50 feet will be of great
value Observations are taken, of course,
at far greater attitudes than this, but
the gradual slope of even the most
precipitous mountains and the presence
of large masses of rock near the obser-
vatory create surface currents, even on
mountain heights, and interfere with
the study of phenomena of the higher
levels of the atmosphere. 1t has often
been proposed to institute series of
experiments by means of captive bal
looms, but the expense of such work
prevented the plans being carried out.
At the time of the centennial it was
proposed to erect skeleton tower to
the height of 1000 feet in Paramount
park. Had this been done the signal
officers would have utilized the observ-
atory for the benefit of meteorological
science, but the tower stopped at 300
feet. The signal officers say it would
not be impracticable to build q tower
1000 feet high or even higher, and that
the erection of such tower would be
of great service. The monument is now
290 feet high. The original design con-
templated height of 500 feet, but at
meeting of the commissioners two
years ago, when it was decided to re-
sumo work, it was voted to make the
monument the Hottest artificial struct-
ure in the world. The commissioners
examined the heights of all the noted
monuments, towers, pagodas, spires,
buildings, and fiag-poles, and found
that to safely distance all rivalry a
height of $50 feet would be necessary.
1t was therefore determined to complete
the shafts on this plan, and the draw
ings were modified to that end. What
was the surprise and qualification of the
commissioners to find subsequently that
the new proportions of the shaft as now
adopted were exactly those of an Egyp-
tian obelisk.

John Bright's Portrait for Chicago.

trait of Mr.. Bright. which 1 have had

sculptor who has made, or is to make,
marble statue of Mr.. Bright for Bir-
mingham. The expression of the face is
finer than that of Millais' painting, as it
has the compressed lip and defiant look
peculiar to the orator when the cry goes
forth in the corridors of the house,
Bright is up 1t is not possible to re-
produce it, as time has changed the
countenance. wonder how he came
to put on the expression as he dislikes

appeared in any other picture. 1 told
Mr.. Bright 1 was going to take it. He
said the Americans would never see
him. Therefore, / answered, they
will the more eagerly see you in this,
and as though they were here My in
tention is to present it to my friend Mr.
James Carlton, of the Chicago and AL
ton railroad, who will, 1 hope, give the
citizens of Chicago, and perhaps other
places, an opportunity of looking at it.

Eat Your Breakfast First.

DR.. Hall is authority for the following
thoughts upon breakfasting before much
exercise in the open air, particularly in
districts where fever and ague are
abundant: Breakfast should be eaten in
the morning before leaving the house
for exercise or labor of any description;
those who do it will be able to perform
more work and with greater alacrity
than those who work an hour or two
before breakfast. Beside this, the aver
age duration of life of those who take
breakfast before exercise or work will
be number of years greater than those
who do otherwise. Most persons begin
to feel weak after having been engaged
five or six hours in their ordinary avoca-
tons; a good meal revigorates; but
from the last meal of the day until the
next morning there is an interval of
some twelve hours; hence the body in a
sense is weak, and in proportion cannot
resist deleterious agencies, whether of
the fierce cold of mid-winter or of the
poisonous miasm which rests upon the
surface of the earth wherever the sun
shines on blade of vegetation or a
heap of offal. The miasm is more solid,
more concentrated, and hence more
malignant, about sunrise and sunset
than any other hour of the twenty-four,
because the cold of the night condenses
it, and it is on the first few inches above
the soil in its most solid form; but as
the sun rises, it warns and expands and
ascends to point high enough to be
breathed, and being taken into the lungs
and swallowed with the saliva into the
stomach, all weak and empty as it is, ii
is greedily drunk in, thrown Immediate
ly into the circulation of the blood, and
carried to every part of the body, de-
posting its poisonous influence at the
very fountain head of life. If early
breakfast were taken in regions where
chills and fever and ague prevail, and
if, in addition, brisk fire were kindled
in the family room for an hour, includ.
ing sunrise and sunset, these trouble
some maladies would diminish in any
one year, not ten fold, but thousand
fold, because the heat of the fire would
rarely the miasmatic air instantly and
send it above the breathing point. But
it is troublesome" to be building fires
night and morning all summer; it being
no trouble" requiring no effort, tC
SILVER and shake by the hour, week.
and months together.
