Improvement in Lighting.

Sir David Brewster, although already
an octogenarian, keeps his inventive
faculties still active for the public good.
The latest of his discoveries. although
chiefly important in the narrow and
shadowy streets of Edinburgh, may be
found valuable in many parts of New
York, rs well as other American cities,
where the scarcity of land has furnished
only narrow alleys between towering
walls. 1t is method of lighting dark
houses in narrow streets, and is de-
scribed thus:
If, in very narrow street or lane,
we look out of window with tho eye
in the same plane rs the outer face of
the wall in which the window is placed,
we shall SEQ the whole of the sky by
which the apartment can be illumi-
mated. If we now withdraw the eye in
wards we shall gradually lose sight of
fhe sky till it wholly disappears, which
may take place when the eye is only
six or eight inches from its first posi-
ton. In such case the apartment is
Illuminated only by the light reflected
by the opposite walls or the sides of the
stones which form the window; because
If the glass of the window is six or
eight inches within the wall, as it gen
ally is, not ray of light can fall upon
it. If we now remove our window and
substitute another in which all the
panes of glass are roughly ground on
the outside, and flush with tho outer
wall, the light from tho whole of the
visible sky. and from the remotest part
of the opposite wall, will be introduced
into the apartment, reelected from the
innumerablc faces or facets which the
rough grinding of the glass has pro
duced The whole window will appear
rs if the sky were beyond it, and from
every point of this luminous surface
light will radiate into all parts OF the
room.--N. T. EUvning Post.

the great floods in the Ohio valley

forests on the hills been recklessly and
wickedly cleared away. What caused
the greatest flood OF all, away back in

except forests in the Ohio valley, the
wise men do not say. They are too
busily engaged in explaining the cause
of this one. If it wasn't for the wise
men, how much more everybody would

factors. But when the exigencies of pol
itics compel men who have proclaimed
that the issues of the pending presidential
canvass are moral, to support for president
a man of scandalous imputed and to
teach the people that they have to do only
with the public, official character of can
didates for office, that their private life
and character have no bearing upon the
question of their preferment to high
public position, it is plain that they have
stretched clemency and patience beyond
the swapping point. The example Of
all the illustrious men from Clay and
Webster back to David and Solomon
who have yielded to base passions will be
cited in vain in support of a theory in
vented to relieve its authors from the
position of gross inconsistency and
embarrassment into which lack of ordi-
nary discretion aud foresight has led
them. If private immortality in times
past has not in all cases barred the prefer
ment of men to public position, it is good
time to begin reform in this respect. 1t
is certainly bad time and a bad policy for
the advocates of reform in government to
teach disregard Of private purity in candi-
dates. Reform is of broader application
than merely to the regulation of the civil
service of the government.
