Dangers OF Electric Lightning.
Engineering and Mining Journal.

Engineering and Mining Journal.
In the mill mutual insurance com
panics in New England there were
sixty-one establishments lighted by elec-
tricity up TO last May. With few exeep-
tons the light had not been in use
previous to the fall of 1881, and many
had been started early in the spring. In
these 81 Establishments Mr. c. j. III.
| Woodbury. records 2l fires due TO cleo
tric lightning, and assignable TO the fol-
lowing causes: Eight were from glob-
ules Of melted copper OF particles of hot
carbon falling out from the BUTTON of the
globes. The actual number OF fires from
this cause was probably many times this
number. This class of fires will not con-
tinue to happen, as all makers now set
their lamp globes in tight stand with o
ridge around the edge. 4 fiat plate will
not answer the purpose, as there was one
instance where drops Of melted copper
rolled off and set fire.
-Four fires were due to leaking water
or washing floors, and two more were
caused by water in a dye-house conden-
sing on the building, in which uninsu-
lated wires were fastened. In most of
these instances q grounded circuit form
to divert the electricity from the wires
MANY of the lower carbons fell from
lamps, and five fires were caused where
they fell upon combustible material.
Three wires were caused by cross arcs
from one wire TO another, where uninsu-
lated wires were fastened against con-
ductors.
In one instance the conductor was
formed by dust settling upon uninsulat-
ed wires, and on damp day it absorbed
enough moisture to form path for the
formation OF cross are, which started a
slight fire. In another instance the
wires were fastened TO a damp BEAM
which was decayed was burned nearly
in two by the smouldering fire. And in
a third instance damp brick work in a
tunnel was a sufficient conductor to es-
tablish an arc, which did not do any ma
terial damage there, but injured the dyn-
amo. Two fires were caused by improper
switches, two by water reaching the
wires of a circuit already grounded, and
one from wires coming in contact with a
building so that their insulation was
worn away. Electricity forms Tho safest
method of illumination when the fol-
lowing precautions are observed: The
system insulated throughout, so that
there is no electrical communication
with the earth or from one part of the
apparatus to another, except through
the proper conductors, even if The wires
should be exposed to water all switches
made with tapping connection, so that
no are can be formed; arc lamps proyid-
cd with globes closed underneath, and
the frame so arranged that the lower
carbon could not fall out, even if the
clamp failed to hold it securely; the
wires of incandescendant systems pro-
vided with a sufficient number of fusible
links to secure the system against dam
age of excess of current.

Satisfying tho Inner Man In Paris.

Paris is no longer the Castronomic par
adse that il was of old. Tho parisians
dine on the architecture of set dishes, on
damask linen, on the brilliancy of the
glassware, on the flowers that are on the
table, on the white cravats of the walters,
but on butter at 30 cents a pound, and on
ordinary wine from the wine shops round
the corner, on fish with the bones painted
in bistre on the fillets by one of those
mysterious and ingenious artists whose
speciality is to do Kitchen painting"
The inventor OF this industry was one
named Chapellier, who invented the
trade of painter of turkeys feet" He
had noticed that the poultcrers lost large
ly on stale stock. The sign by which the
staleness Of a turkey, for instance, is be-
trayed in the increasing paleness of the
legs and feet.
Chapellier invented varnish to tone
up the color. His successors have invent
cd many other tricks which are the provi-
dence OF second-class game and fish deal
ers.
oh the meanness of some apparently
brilliant Parisian households is awful To
thinl, Of think, perhaps, the painter
Iiem's table is the most phenomenal
Ziem hires half the dishes by the hour
and the guests are of course not allowed
to touch them. The desert is generally
in wax, except one plate of cheap apples
and dish Of nuts

"Yes, madam, have been trying for

"Come home with me-" said the lady,

Herbert went home with Mrs. Fair

Luckily her husband had come home on

4 Live and Dead Buck with Locked
Horns.
Petersburg Index Appeal.

A son of Charles Harrison and another
gentleman named Baird were out opos-
sum hunting some nights ago in the Vi
cinity of the bridge, when the heard
their dogs baying in weedy swamp
close by. Tic gentlementhen concluded
to 90 home and procure gun, and on
their return found that the dogs were af
ter two large bucks, one with eight points
and the other with ten points. For some
cause or other the buck with the eight
prongs had killed the one with the ten
points with one of It's prongs. The prong
entered near the eye and came out near
the ear. BY some means the prongs of
each of the bucks became interlocked,
and had evidently been so for several
days, as the dead animal had been drag
ged q considerable distance, and had
been killed long enough to become often
sivc. The live buck, which had undoubt-
edly suffered for food, was in a very poor
and emaciated condition, and was shot
and killed before the marksman could
recognize what it was in the dark.

Luxurious Travelling.
New York Tribune.

Nine. Christine Nilsson travels from
place TO place to sing in sumptious style
in the same excursion ear that has been
used by Mary Anderson and Sara Bern
hardt.
The car is divided into sleeping eating,
cooking and drawing-room compart-
ments.
Nine. Nilsson's boudoir is the smallest
but most handsome room, containing a
piano and many choice books and pict-
ures. Sometimes the prima donna plays
and sings, and sometimes watches the
changing scenery from the windows; but
more often she plunges deep into novel
or studies stereoscopic views, to while
away the tedious hours of travel.

Herbert Dexter's Ordeal.
A story for Young Folks.
HORArIO ALGER, JI.

A lady entered a large dry goods store
in the city, and inquired for thibcts. She
was directed to the lower end of the
store, where Young clerk awaited her
order. He was boy Of fifteen, with a
frank, handsome face that inspired in
slant confidence.
He ut once displayed variety of goods.
One particular price seemed to please the
customer.
Are the colors last?' she inquired.
Herbert Dexter looked at it carefully.
81 am afraid not" he answered. "a
lady came in day or two ago and COM
planned that it had faded"
THANK YOU" said The lady. "Then |
must look elsewhere, as you have moth
ing else with a small figure that suits my
taste"
The proprietor of the establishment
was near enough to hear this conversa-
ton. The lady had scrrcely left the
store when he advanced toward Herbert
and said harshly:
What made you tell that lady the
cloth would not wash ?"
"Bcca ise," ssid Herbert looking up in
surprise "she asked me-"
well, you simpleton, why couldt't you
tell her it did?"
Because ii wouldn't have been the
truth, said Herbert simply.
Then you could at least have told her
that you didn't know
"But did, sir"
"lt seems that you have n tender con.
