THE ELPHINSTONE DYNAMO

According to the English scientific
journals the new dynamo for gener-
ating electricity invented by Lord
Elphinstone and Mr.. Vincent is one
of the most powerful continuous cur
rent machines ever made. 1t is said
to be the outcome of strict follow
ing out of Faraday's researches, and
those who have seen it believe that
it is destined to fill an important place
in the history of electricity and its
application to the arts. At recent
exhibition of the dynamo in London
$50 Swan incandescent lamps, each
of twenty candle-power, were brill
iantly sustained by a rather small
engine and produced a dazzling
effect.

heat increased, the zinc burnt off in
brilliant coruscations, forming an
electrical firework OF great beauty !;
the heat still increasing reached
whiteness, and finally the wire fused,
parts of it, as it struck the floor,
breaking up into brilliant globules of
melted wrought iron. Lengths of
steel and also of copper wire each be-

being fused. The current was then
made to run through coil of iron

ing three quarts of water; instantly
there was hiss, as when a red-hot
poker is plunged into water. This

THE LABOR OF AUTHORSHIP.

David Livingston said: 'sThose
who have never carried book through
the press can form no idea of the
amount of toll it involves. The pro-
cess has increased my respect for au-
tors authoresses a thousand fold-I
think | would rather cross the Afri-
can continent again than undertake
to write another book
''For the statics of the negro pop
ulation of South America alone. -
says Robert Dale Owen, Il examin-
ed more than a hundred and fifty
Volumes
Another author tells us that he
wrote paragraphs and whole pages of
his book as many as forty and fifty
times.
1t is said of one of Longfellow's
poems that it was written in four
weeks, but that he spent six months
in correcting and cutting it down.
Bulwer declared that he had rewrit-
ten some of his briefer productions
as many as eight OF nine times before
their publication.
One of Tennyson's pieces was re-
written fifty times.
John Owen was twenty years on
his documentary on the Epistle to
the Hebrews - Gibbon on his DE
cline and FALL twenty years Adam
Clarke on his Commentary" twen-
ty-six years.
Carlyle spent fifteen years on his
''Frederick the Great"
A great deal of time is consumed
in reading before some books are
prepared. George Eliot read one
thousand books before she wrote
''Daniel Deronda." Allison read
1000 books before he completed his
HloCOI IL 10 SdlO VI tuObu6I l1db
he read 100000 books and only wrote
two books.
Some write out of full soul, and
it seems to be only a small effort for
them to produce great deal. This
was true of Emerson and Harriet
Martineau. They both wrote with
wonderful facility. These ''moved
on winged utterances they threw
the whole force of their being into
their creations"
Others wait for moods and then ac-
complish much. Lowell said:
Now, I've notioa is a poet
Beat up for themes, his voice will show it;
wait for subjects that hunt me,
By day or night won't let me be-
Aud hang around me like curse,
Till they have made me into verse;"

DON'T FORGET TO PRAY.
BY j. WARD cHILDs.

"lt's hard TO have you leave us, John.
They all are gone but you;
We're getting old and feeble. and
Our journey II soon be through.
But since it is Gods pleasure, John,
To guide you on your way
Accept. my boy, this precious book,
And don't forget to pray.
"This book has been treasure, John,
To father and to me;
As it has been to millions, and
To millions more will be.
In sickness, pain and sorrow, John,
Twill she'd a cheering ray;
Then let it be your constant guide.
And don't forget to pray
"Ths world is full of wickedness,
OF Turing snares. and sin;
And thousands, mady pressing on,
Are daily falling in.
But if You would escape them, John,
And keep the narrow way,
Oh, make Gods Word your counsellor,
And don't forget to pray.
"WIth yearning hearts we'll pray, dear John.
For your eternal veal
AS round the family altar we
At morn and evening kneel.
In spirit you may join us, John,
Though many miles away,
If in your heart this Word you hide,
And don't forget to pray.
"Goodbyi God bless and keep you, John,
Shall be our daily prayer;
And if we meet no more below,
God grant we may up there.
And We have this assurance, John,
To cheer us. that we may,
If we the Bible make our guide.
And don't forget to pray.''

UNGRANTED.

Where do they go to-the ungranted prayers,
The bafied hope, lost love, and wasted yearning;
The sweet, vair dreams, the patient sighted cares
Cast on the tireless tide that has no turning?
The sleepless nights, the weary, anxious days,
The eager joy that blossoms but for blghting,
The mocking CLEANS that glitter on our ways,
To vanish in one moment of delighting?
Are they stored up in some great solemn bank.
Where Time holds for Eternity the key?
AS the rich hues, that in the westward sank,
May sleep. enshrined beneath the sleeping sea
Or do they blended in gracious breath,
Pervade the atmosphere of common life
Softening the terror of the doom of death,
Lulling the fret and fever of the strife?
Who knows. who knows? Our darlings from US glide
1mploring clasp and passionate prayer are vain;
Our trust betrayed, missed aim shattered pride,
The great dun river sweeps them to the MAN,
And yet, for something every gift is given,
Through age on age, so priest and poet saith.
Cling fast, fond hands; look up, true eyes to heaven
Through dusk and doubt hold to the saving faith? I?

LITTLE THINGs.-More depends on
little things than we think. 1t is said
that Voltaire when five years of age
learned. an infidel poem and he was
never able to free himself from its
effects. Scott, the commentator,
when despairing, read a hymn of DR..
Watts, and was turned from a life of
idleness and sin to one of usefulness.
Cowper, when about to drown HIM
self, was carried the wrong way by
his driver, and went home to write
the hymn, "God moves in mysteri-
Gus way"
The rebuke of a teacher reused DIR.
Clarke to great action, who had to that
time been slow in acquiring knowl-
edge. Ole Bull, the great violinist,
rescued from suicide by drowning
and taken to the near residence of a
wealthy lady, became her protege and
soon acquired fame. Robert Moffat,
the distinguished missionary, reading
placard announcing a missionary
meeting. was led to devote himself to
work for the heather. One step,
downward often leads men into the
greatest guilt. 1t is the little words
or actions that make or mar our lives.

1t is rather a strange sight to see
the name of Bonaparte on lawyers
sign, yet "Charles j. Bonapartc, es-
torney-at-law,' may be read any day
on a Philadelphia law office. Although
the grandson of jerome Bonaparte,
King of Westphalia, and grand-neph-
ew of the Great Napoleon, Mr.
Bonaparte is a staunch Republican.
He is devoted to his profession which,
by the way, was that of his great
grandfather and namesake, Charles
Bonaparte, Advocate of Corsica.
Mr.. Ronaparte. although in the en-
joyment of a princely fortune, left
him by his grandmother. the late
Madame Bonaparte, is a hard-work-
ing lawyer, at his office every day
and frequently in court pleading ca
ses with ability and eloquence. He
has the appearance of an Italian. but
the common sense of an American,
and would not give up his profession
for the proudest position that could
be offered under a restored Bona
partist dynasty.

crned by the Pittsburgh Price.
The compromise TO avert strike among
the iron mills outside OF Pittsburgh, says
a Pittsburgh paper, as published yester-
day, has caused much comment 1t now
transpires that the rules OF the Amalga-
mated Association forbids the acceptance Of
all offers to sign the scale conditionally
and precludes the success OF man
ufacturers who will offer to work
their mills at the present rates OF wages on
the condition that the prices which shall
eventually rule here will govern them.
Secretary Martin, OF the association, said
Yesterday, The scale must be signed I'M.
conditionally or not at all. If any manu-
faeturer desires to run his mill, paying the
present rates, he is safe in doing SO, for If
the effort to reduce wages should be sue
cessful here the Amalgamated men at
other points will not wait for a re-
duction, but will ask for it. This
has been proven by the result of
last years strike. Among others Carnegie
Bros & Co. paid the advance then de-
manded and IS was the rate for pudding
for a week after the strike enaed. Tnen
the men went to the firm and asked that
they be paid $3.50, the same as was re-
ceived in other mills. The men were
honest enough to abide by the result OF the
strike. | know a number OF mills will
sign the scale this year and refuse TO shut
down" The present scale will be pre-.
sented to the manufacturers on or before
the 23d inst, and it is said the number
who will sign it will surprise few.

Building and Improvements Going on Rap
idIy-New Drives and Bouleyards-
Completing and Stocking the Lake
Features THE Coming Season.

DR.. T. H. Logan and Mr.. c. W. Conner
returned on Saturday last from visit to
the park, where they had been spending
few days in attendance at a meeting OF the
Directors of the Mt. Lake Park Associa-
ton, who we're on the grounds laying out
plans and prospecting for the coming sea-
sons attractions at this beautiful and at
trsctive summer resort
They report vegetation looking well on
the mountains, at lesst four weeks in ad-
vance OF last season. Improvements at the
park are going on rapidly, some nineteen
new and handsome cottages, which have
been commenced since last fall, are now
we'll under way to completion. Eight
other contracts have been given out for
houses to be completed this summer,
ranging in price from eight hundred TO
nineteen hundred dollars. Enquiries and
applications for lots are coming in daily.
The directors ordered a large amount OF
work done on the walks and drives. During
the summer and fall they expect to lay out
and complete at least five miles OF drives
through their extensive grounds, connect
Ing Win Tue DccE arm anu Odhldlu uElNco,
which are acknowledged to be the finest
mountain drives in the country. They
were laid out and built by the B. g. o. rail
road at their own expense, connecting with
their two large and elegant hotels at Deer
Park and Oakland. The Board also con-
tracte6 for handsome Office building to be
used as ticket office, and main entrance
to the auditorium grounds. 1t will be fitted
up for book and news rooms, also commit
tee and directors rooms.
Appropriations were made for number
OF large and small signs for marking the
drivea and walks; also, for rustic bridges
and various convenient attractions. Two
boats were ordered to be placed on the lake,
and a number of boats will be built for
private family use.
The dam for the lake is completed, and
finer sheet of pure mountain water never
was seen. 1t covers about seventeen acres.
The contractors for making of the lake are
now considering plans for fine boat house
to be built at..once. The fish commissioners
at Baltimore and at Oakland have prom
ised to stock the lake with fish this spring.
The attractions at the park will be varied
during the season, viz: Summer School OF
Theology, Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, mass meeting of Maryland and West
Virginia Sunday School assembly, Temper
ance Convention, ETC., and drives, walks
and boating The Allegheny and Mountain
Lake hotels will open in June.
