At the konigsherg Electrical Ex-
hibition Herr Huber has been making
very satisfactory display Of the
principal features Of his invention
for illuminating the course of a yes
sci at sea. Two masts We're erected
and fitted with the apparatus neces-
sary for the working of his sea lamps
i fundamental principle Of his system
is that no potion of the ship must be
lighted with electric lamps, which are
solely used for the waterway or the
adjacent coast. These lamps can he
turned III any given direction. The
working of the apparatus is not
automatic. but by hand. The con
struction is very simple.

marked to his wife:
"My dear. this is my birthday"
"Well," she answered, lit isn't your
first one is it?"
mo not exactly; but I thought I'd
speak of it anyway, as a reminder, il
You had anything to give me com
memorative of the occasion"
Il might give you piece of my
mind for making me get up and
build the kitchen fire this morning"
Il don't think I want any. You've
give me as much already as you can
spare, / should think"
Don't get excited, Topnoody. May
be you can tell me what you'd like to
have me give you
"Well, my dear, can easily do
that"
You think you can, do you?"
Il know it, my dear; but 1 don't
know whether you'd give it to me or
not"
Il can if l want to, l reckon"
Il don'tk know about that; you never
have given it to me yet, and the
novelty of the gift, more than its ins
trinsic cash value, is what prompts
me to ask it."
Don't beat around the bush, Top
moody; what is it,"
swell, my dear, I'd like to have
you give me a rest
Before Topnoody could get out of
the house he was sorry he had ever
been blessed with a birthday.
