WALTHAM, MASS.

This case is formed in one solid piece
without joint or seam, opening in from,
ontu, thus avoiding the usual Cap. and
securing greater strength and durability.
These watches are all open face. The
bezel, into which an extra strong crystal
istitted with an especially prepared water
proof cement, is attached to the case by
screwing it thereon, and thus forms an
air tight junction with the body of the
case, which is proof against dust and
moisture.
To railroad men, travellers, miners,
lumbermen and others who are almost
constantly exposed and who have to make
FREQUENT reference to the watch, these
qua titles are of the utmost Importance.

Electric Lighting.

Electric Lighting BY DR.. Moncel;
translated by Robert Routledge B. Sc. Lon
don, F. c. S.;-London: George Routledge
& Sons.
At this time, when electric lighting is
occupying SO large share of public atten-
ton. a work Of authority like this coming
amidst the shower of misleading advertise
ments and interviews Apublished in the
newspapers in the interest of stock specula-
lations, is really public benefaction.
The book first issued by Messrs. Hachette
of Paris now already in the second edition,
no doubt not only because of the high reput-
alton of its authority but also because of its
combining the scientific with the popular
method of exposition, in this way addressing
itself to larger class of readers than more
scientific treatise would. 1t will, no doubt,
surprise the American reader that one King
lamps and that twelve different kinds OF
these of later invention are now in use. Oh
Voltaic lamps fifteen are described and Of
Magneto-elec trio generators of electric light
eleven are referred to. Referring to tht
Edison System (page 145) the author says
''In the year 1915 Draper had endeavoret
in America to take advantage of the mean
desc nee of platinum wire rolled in spira
form as a focus of electric light. Lat
terly Edison has taken up the notion
and has made much noise about it il
the newspapers, great enough to lowe
very considerably the shares of the gas com
panies. But this system besides lacking
novelty, only imperfectly solves the prob
lem." Speaking of the Faure secondary bat
terry used in the exhibition of electric light
ing lately made at the Office of the PRESS
| he saws the "Faure cells or 'accumulators
| as they have been called, are made of
large size and according to Sir W. Thorn
pson one Of these cells weighing IS kilo

those fluctuations which may usually be de
| tected in the action of the dynamo-eleutpiy
machines. Its great use for the electri
light consists not only in its supplying tn
means of carrying store of electricit
about, but in affording a regulator for tn
lamps. In fact, these might remain lishte
for hours, even if the electric supply trof
the engine were interrupted. A train lighte
up with incandescent electric lamps, worke
by Faure's accumulator, has been runnin
continuously for some monthssbetween Lol
don and Brighton, without any failure {
the light once occurring. This inyentio
imparts to electric illumination as great
I degree of readiness and certainty in worl
ing as has been claimed for gas lighting.
On the whole the book will aid not a lit
those who are looking up the subject of
practical system of electric lighting.

Middle Class Education in Europ'

AlQQlO O1C65 G0lkSbU1Ol1 Ia 9GAODr. |
In France there is complete school ma
cbinery under the central Government. The
State now grudges the religious orders any
influence in it, Nationa! support and mi
mute classification are the chief characters
tics of their system. The teachers are
trained in Government colleges, and paid
fixed salaries from the treasury. The pr-
mary schools are strictly what their name
implies. Above them are two kinds OF mid
die schools-lycees established by the State
III every department, and colleges, for less
advanced studies, established in every COM
mune. The teaching in these two kinds of
secondary schools is, respectively, classical
and commercial; in both are taught modern
languages and mathematics; and in both
young children are admitted into lower
divisions, for special elementary prepare
ton. The baccalaureate degree may be
reached at about the age Of Is, aud then fol-
lows any special instruction for professional
or industrial employment. Every lesson of
every hour throughout all the schools is
infinitely prescribed by the Government,
and the boys are never free, day or night,
from the supervision of 7RdStres Getude.
Their moral discipline also is under proui-
sears. In Germany each State has an Edu-
cation Department at its capital. Every
child is compelled by law to be instructed
by some one certified and appointed by the
Government. The only voluntary work is
infant preparation. The Prussian Code of
1850 asserts that call public and private
school establishments are under the super
vision Of authorities named by the State.n
1t is provided By law that there must be a
primary school in every parish; in which
schools the instruction is of the most element
airy kind. Next come the reGtschale for
commercial and the gymnasium for more
classical education, and in both there is an
elementary division specially preparatory
to the higher stage of instruction as in the
French LyceeS. These schools are main
tanned by local taxation and fees; but the
Polytechnic schools for special ira ming are
wholly supported by the State. Certain
lines OF employment are restricted TO those
who pass final examination in these schools.
The Swiss is, perhaps, the most perfect pub
| lie educational system. This most econom-
| tons, a third of their whole tax
alton to this one object, besides the fees
| paid for every child. 1t is, of course, can
| tonal system, and has lately so vindicated its
| independence. There is primary school in
| every commune; attendance is compulsory
unless equally good education is being OBJ
tanned elsewhere. Above these schools there
is an ascending series of higher schools, up
TO the schools of industry leading to the
Polytechnic, and to the classical gymnasia
leading to the universities Their law says

himself as has been generally supposed
that is to say that some of its manifestations
were at times rather embarrassing. Once a
water party by moonlight had been organ
lied on the lake near King Louis's summer
palace, and celebrated prima donna had
been invited to sing some of the duets from
Christian and Isolde" with the King. Wag-
ner, in his fancy dress, and a page, who
sculled, completed the quartet in the royal
boat. 1t was all very poetical, and the lady,
carried away by the romance of the aitua-
ton, made SO bold as to administer gentle
caress to the King, who resented this breach
Of etiquette by push which sent her over
board. Wagner plunged after the soprano,
whose tuneful voice was being raised with
rare force and succeeded in rescuing her;
but it was a doleful party that presently
stepped on shore-Isolde sobbing and wiring
ing out her clothes, the Mestersinger creak-
ing in his shoes. Tristan murmuring as he
walked away with an injured air, and the
page, no doubt, laughing in his sleeve, after
the manner of his irreverent kind.

THE contrast between the wages drawn
by the Council Of 1S79-Garcelon' sand
the Council of 1SS2--Plaisted's lis edify-
ing. In 1879 for salary and contingent ex-
penses Foster drew S63s: Monroe, $92650;
Chase, $104525; Brown, $4,000; Parker,
S14s5; Fogg, $74425; Moody, $906.47. In
addition to these sums $465 was paid to the
Councillors by Garcelon-making total of
$7125.37. The Councillors of 1882 for the
same purposes make the following exhibit
for moneys drawn from payroll, appropria-
ton and contingent fund: Robbie, SAT. so;
Barker, S349; Hinckley, $625; Campbell,
s745.62; Bowers, $695.17 Wilson, $567.5O;
Pendleton, S454 25-a total of $3371.74. This
shows that the expenses of the Republican
Councillors in 1882 were less than half the
expenses of the Fusion or "Unionist'' Coun-
cillors IN 1879. The above facts were elici-
ted by Senator Marbles resolution of in

If it is true, as statsd, that there are at the
present time sixty thousand persons in Paris
out of employment, the recent Sociallstic
disturbances can readily be understood. The
chances are, however, that this is an exag-
eerated statement OF course in every large
city there are always large number of per-
SONS who are living in enforced idleness, but
it is not SO much from this class
as fsom the class which prefers idle
ness 10 l., work and lives by crime.

gent. If the Belleville class is bent on max
ing trouble, the French government will
need to combine energy with discretion in
