Electric Fairies.

The 50. Jdnaes's Gazette, London, cor
reefs some misstatements respecting the
fairies" at the Savoy Theatre, who are
nightly Illuminated by electricity. Each
of the fairies is supplied with electricity
generated as required, and not stored)
by means of three specially constructed
Plante batteries inclosed in gutta-
percha case. The whole apparatus,
which weighs less than three pounds, is
worn after the manner of soldier
knapsack, and is connected with the
lamp on the fairy's head by flexible
double wire This arrangement is the
joint production of the Swan and Sic
mems Companies, but is capable of much
improvement in the matters of weight
and the number of cells employed. A
switch is placed on the top of the bat
terry by means of which the current may
be turned off at pleasure, and the light
producedi is equal to that of six candles.
From this it will be seen that the wear
er OF the lamp runs no risk. There is
no current capable of giving severe
shock, and practically there is no more
danger from contact with the conduct
ing wires than there is in walking I'M
der an ordinary telegraph wire. 1t
seems there was notion that these
fairies were lighted by a wire from
the main dynamo machine which illum-
mates the entire building.

The Boundless Capabilities OF Boy.

Burlington Hawkeye
An exchange says a boy will tramp
247 miles in one day on rabbit hunt
and be timber in the evening, when, if
you ask him to go across the street and
borrow Jones two inch auger, he will
be as stiff as meat-block. OF course
he will. And he will go swimming all
day, and stay in the water three hours
at time, and splash and dive and pad
die and puff, and next morning he will
feel that an unmeasured insult has been
offered him when he is told by his
mother 10 wash his face carefully, so as
not to leave the score of the cbb and
flow so plain as to be seen under the
gills. And he'll wander around dry
creek bed all the afternoon piling up a
pebble fort, and nearly die off when his
big sister wants him to please pick up
a basket of chips for the parlor stove;
and he'll spend the biggest part of the
day trying to corner stray mule or a
bald-back horse for ride, and feel that
all life's charms have fled when it comes
time to drive the cows home; and he'll
turn ten-acre lot upside-down for ten
inches of angle-worms, and wish for the
voiceless tomb when the garden de-
mands his attention. But all the same.
when you want friend that will stand
by you and sympathize with you, and
be true to you in all kinds of weather,
enlist one of the small boys.

to develop out of this crude, unnatural
Nature the truly natural man,-the
man as Nature meant him to be, with
the power and the habit Of abstract
, conception and reasoning. Though we
follow the order, we need not follow
the pace, of wild nature. Ike sooner
the boy can be brought TO read intel
lectual books, and TO grasp complex
subjects, easily and quietly, without
strain or precocity or hindrance to the
physical development, the more of a
man will he make.
So, again, Mr.. Spencer's words are
often quoted in support of the attractive
doctrine that education shall give boys
to do only that which they choose to do
Their diet, according to this theory,
reading would likewise be whatever was
spiciest to the mental palate and easiest
of mastication. Every parent and teach
er knows something of what evils would
follow this system, from his observation
of the effects of the dime novel and of
our juvenile literature in general. A
young person had much better read
Shakespeare and Mr.. Spencer. Every
teacher, at least. knows also this theory
has run into an absurd extreme in ''oral
teaching" and the'"object-lesson." A
boy does not need to be fed forever with
a spoon. The time comes when he must
learn to get his knowledge in the way
that every educated man must always
get it-from the written page, and from
self-controlled, persistent, laborious
thought.

The floods in Germany along the
Rhine are very disastrous. That river
at Mayence had reached height day
before yesterday of $40 metres. The
town of Robstadt, with the exception of
the church and houses of the clergy, is
deeply submerged. The water in many
houses will nearly reach the roof. In
Friesenheim. on the Rhine. the scene
beggars description. In the districts
near Worms 10. 900 persons are rendered
homeless, and are in danger of starva-
ton. The town of Mannheim appears
to stand on an isthmus in the middle of
vast sea. The great Rhine dam gave
way night before last. A steamer and
40 boats rescued the people by torch
light. The village of Triesenheim is
deserted, and Il third of the inhabitants
appear to have abandoned their homes.

st. Nicholas for February.
One of the most popular sports in
Norway is skee-racing. A steep hill is
selected by the committee which is to
have charge of the race, and all the
best skee-runners in the district enter
their names, eager to engage in the
contest, The track is cleared of all
accidental distractions, but If there
happens to be stone or wooden fence
crossing it, the snow is dug away on
the lower side of it and piled up above
it. The object is to obtain what is call
ed jump The skee-runner, of
course, coming at full speed down the
slope will slide out over this Jump,
shooting right out into the air and COM
ing down either on his feet or some
other convenient portion of his anat-
omy, as the case may be. To keep
ones footing, and particularly to pre-
vent the skees from becoming crossed
while in the air, are the most difficult
feats connected with skee-racing; and
it is no unusual thing to see even an
excellent skee-runner plunging head
long into the snow, while his skees pur-
sue AN independent race down the
track and tell the spectators of his fail
ure. Properly speaking, skee-race is
not race-not a test of speed, but a
test OF skill; for two runners rarely
start simultaneously, as, in case one of
them should fall, the other could not
possibly stop, and might not even have
time to change his course. He would
thus be in danger of running into his
competitor. and could hardly avoic
manning him seriously. If there were
several parallel tracks at distance of
twenty TO thirty feet from each other,
there would, of course, be less risk in
having the runners start together.
Usually, number fall in the first run,
and those who have not fallen then con-
tinue the contest until one gains the
palm. If, as occasionally happens, the
competition is narrowed down to two,
who are about evenly matched, q pro-
posal to run without slaves is apt to
result in decisive victory for one or
the other.
1t can hardly be conceived how ex-
citing these contests are, not only to
the skee-runners themselves, but also to
the spectators, male and female, who
gather in groups along the track and
cheer their friends as they pass, waving
their handkerchiefs, and greeting with
derisive cries the mishaps which are
inseparable from the sport.
