A Dream of Electricity.

La Vie Moderne amuses it's readers
with one of those visions of the future
which have been in vogue aver since
science began to astonish the present
age with its marvellous performances.
This time it is electricity which fur
nishes the substance of the dream. The
coal mines were giving out and their use
was almost discontinued except for
manufacturers; gas had become extra
ordinarily dear. To take its place in
Paris an American-it is always the
Americans now who do wonderful as
we'll as eccentric things in France
had conceived the project of erecting a
tower $50 metres high on the open space
in front of Notre Dame, from whose
summit an enormous nickel-plated re-
Hector 1877 metres in circumference
should shed down a flood of light over
all Paris that would simply abolishnight.
On the column o dynamo was re-
CURED merely to keep the gigantic car
bons at due distance from one an
other; at the base in great cellars were
1000 elements, each couple of which
was to absorb daily four tons of water
and 1,200 Kilograms of acid. In six
months it was done, and Paris awaited
the first lighting with an interest
frightened by the news that three men,
who, during one of the experiments,
hap been in the focus, had been melted
and e%vaporated, and the American chief
engineer, Mr.. Allison, who was taking
a spectroscopic observation, had been
fortunate enough to note the lines of
h human spectrum, Or spectre. Their
expectations were not disappointed. A
flood of light poured over the city, and
unlike, we must say, any electric light
which we Americans have succeeded in
producing in our country it turned
round corners, entered the houses,
went upstairs, and lighted not merely
the parlors but the passage ways. But
now came a difficulty. Paris always
keeps late hours, but it ends by going
to bed; those who amuse themselves
moderately seek home at midnight;
those who try hard to enjoy life leave
off at three or four at the latest. But
why leave off at all in broad daylight,
or perhaps we should say, in broad
nightlight? And how could one sleep
without darkness? For a few DAYS
Paris was perplexed. 1t lost it's reck-
oning of time entirely, and at last it
was found necessary to fire a morning
and evening gun in every arrondisse-
ment to let the people know when the
change was made from artificial to nat
ural, and from natural to artificial.
The light cost for the city less than half
as much as all the private lights which
it displaced. OF course, gas stock went
down, down. lower than Union Pacific
has been going down here. the last two
weeks. Madame Mackey, unwilling to
have anything 81 cheap in her house,
threw all her shares into the fire.
Many persons were ruined; but more
gained by being relieved from the cost
of lighting, land the Lutetian race,
constantly bathed in living light, ac-
CURED q force, a beauty, an energy
worthy Of the Homeric ages"

Cost Of Our Diplomatic Service.

Washington Letter.
A study OF the consular and diplo-
matte bill just passed by the House
shows that some of them got what seem
to be very handsome salaries. For in
stance the salaries of the ministers to
Great Britain, Germany and Russia
are $l7 800. Those to Japan, China,
Spain, Austria, Italy and Mexico
get $4,000 a year each. Those to
the United States Of Columbia and
Turkey, Belgium, Netherlands, Swed-
en- and Norway, Venezuela, Argentine
Republic and Hawaiian Island, ST, 500
each. The ministers to the several
Central American states, Guatemala,
Costo Rica, Honduras, Salvador and
Nicaragua who has to reside at such
place in any of the states as the
President may direct, gets $4,000
per annu1n. The ministers resident
and consuls-general in Switzer-
land, Denmark, Portugal, Liberia, Bo-
livia, Hayti, Persia and Paraguay and
Uruguay and Corea get $500 apiece.
Secretaries Of legation at London, Paris,
Berlin and st. Petersburg, get 50, 625
each per annum. The secretary of
legation ct China gets $1,000. Intor-
prefers in China and Turkey get SO, 200
each and in Japan $4,000. The secre-
tary of legation in Constantinople also
acts as consul general and gets $500
a year. Consul generals at London
Paris, Havana, Rio Janeiro receive &c.
500 a year each. Those at Calcutta and
Shanghai $4,000 each; those at Berlin,
Panama, Montreal and Kanagawa ST.
900 each. From that figure the prices
paid for consrls run down as low as ST.
900 a year, those at some %thirty-five
places in Great Britain, Germany, Bel
GUM France and Italy, South America
and elsewhere being allowed a salary of
but 81 900 per annum each.

What a charming old town is Salem!
Witch hill stands bleak and bare, un-
adorned by the modern Queen Anne
cottages, or the mansions of the wealthy
who are seeking out all the hill tops
around Boston for their homesteads.
The old witch house is as it ever was.
I never go to Salem but I fancy that
Hawthorne, with his distracted look
and dreamy eyes, will come around the
next orne Salem is still intensely
proud and aristocratic. It is one of the
old sea ports Of the state where money
does not rule tile roost. In Salem fam
lily is more than ducats. A young girl
with a good lineage can marry into the
richest families. And it is the same
with the young men Of old Salem blood.
Blood tells in Salem. The city is full
of those commodious old brick houses,
perfectly square, with generous halls
and great spacious chambers. The old
East India merchants built them
when Salem wharves were lined with
Calcutta clippers and the wares of Bonn
bay and Madras were lying in the
grey store houses on the water front.
There is a splendid museum there and
many odd things to see. Salem is nov
noted for it's science. 1t has societies
which study bugs and animals and the
fishes in the sea. It's the city of polite
manners, of common courtesies on the
street, and of the prettiest maidens in
all New England. Every Salem cir
is born beautiful. The young bache-
lors Of the west should come to Salem
for their wives. These demure grey
and brown-eyed beauties you see trip
ping along salem streets are sup" in all.

Oh, tender, trustful face and steady eyes,
