THE State is TO be congratulated that the State

of Agriculture unit upon the matter OF letting
the contract for the Pavilion for the State Agr
cultural Society. Some fears entertained that an
effort would be made to lessen the size Of the building
and TO the ground plat but neither has been
DONE 1t only remains for explicit contract to
be executed and the work to begin. AS the building
is to be but shell, notwithstanding its great size,
it would appear that its completion in time
for the State Fair in September next should not be
a matter Of any doubt 1t must be finished by that
time 1t is possible to do 50 without extraordinary
exertions, and believe the people will not be dis

PHoToGRAPHING THE Vocal ORGANS
Some attempts have been made in London
to photograph the human vocal organs in
the act of singing. The principal object
was to obtain picture OF the ligaments
known as the vocal chords, which are stu.
ated at the top of the larynx. These can
be viewed in the laryngoscope, small
mirror, which when placed at the back of
the throat serves at once to reflect light
upon the membranes, and to form an image
of them visible to the observer. With the
aid of this instrument numerous observa.
tions have been made upon singers. and
much valuable information has been col.
lected, but all previous efforts TO obtain a
photograph by substituting a camera for
the observers eye have entirely failed.
The difficulties were overcome BY the use
of powerful Siemers electric lamp. sup
piled by a dynamo machine. By means Of
this light some excellent photographs were
obtained OF the laryngoscopic image. The
patient in each case was Herr Bshnke. at
whose instance the experiments we're made.

The immigration to the United States
during 1882 from all countries, at all
merits. amounted to $4,000, against 1900
for 1881. an increase of 5000 over the
previous year. Germany contributed 232,-
600: England and Wales, 1000; Ireland,
"a 600. Scotland, 1900; Sweden, $4,000;
Norway. $1,000; Canada, $4,000, and all
the other contributing countries 100000.
During the last three months of the past
year the immigration fell short of that of
the previous year, and in the judgment of
those who have observed the fluctuations
Of the tide. immigration has reached its
maximum. The influx Of Germans was
considerably less than that Of 1881. A
heavy immigration is, however, expected
- set in from Russia this year, and the
Russians upon arrival Immediately start

Electric lighting in mills is discussed in
the January number OF the Journal Of the
Franklin Institute, by C. j. IL. Woodbury.,
with the conclusion that, light for light,
the electric light is cheaper even than
coal oil gas, although comparison is diff
ficult, because the change of illumination
is always made an excuse for more light.
Most mills are lighted with coal oil gas
mixed with air, which costs from seventy
five cents to one dollar per burner, or in
exceptional circumstances siXty-nine
cents: while the cost rises inland to one
dollar and seventy-nine cents. AS an
important share Of the cost of electric
lighting is interest on plant, the rela-
tive cost in its favor is much decreased
when mills are running night and day.
This circumstance in the case of Holy
oke. Mass, mill reduced the cost to sixty
five cents per burner, decided saving,
with the additional advantage Of no SCOT,
and cool air in summer, which enable
work to be carried on when it must other
wise have been given up. In arc lighting,
an experiment in Adams, Mass, puts the
cost as equal to gas at eighty-nine cents
per 1000, very large saving, amounting
TO 81. 603 a year, or interest on ST., 716, TO
say nothing of better work.
