A PORTABLE EIectric Lamp.

While visiting friend the other ercn-
ing he invited me to take a look over his
house. To ny surprise he picked up an
electric lamr that was standing on the
table and started off up stairs with it in
his hand, the flexible Insulating wire
connecting with the lamp trailing along
behind. On investigation l discovered
that he had the wire wound around a
reel and that it was smoothly paying out
as he went along. He also had little
pulleys fastened to the docrways over
which he passed the wire as he turned
the corners. The lamp itself was mounted
on standard like the standard of an oil
lamp, and the gentleman informed me
that he was in the habit of taking it into
all parts of the house Tho device was a
novel one, and it suggests new possibil-
tiles for the electric light. Verify, the
lightning is becoming very tame under
the mastership of modern genius

oyster culture in Francc.

Oyster culture has had great de-
velopnent IN France. Thus, while in
1857 there were in the Bay of Arcachon
twenty parks, or district oyster beds, in
1865 there were 297 beds, producing
10000, coo oysters annually, and there
are now $1,000 acres of beds, yielding an
annual supply of 100000, 900 oysters.
From Auray, ON the coast of Brittany,
100000 oysters were sent to market in
1861; IN 1855 the numbers exceeded
40. 200, 900. On the other hand, the
British oyster industry has declined. and
the coast which furnished ancient Rome
with oysters. and within generation ex-
ported them to Paris, now ranks low in
the list of oyster nurseries.-Public

We're still heard. The search continued

HOW v,oden spool. Arc Made.

Birch wood is preferred. The birch is
irst sawed into sticks four or five feet
long and seven-eightlis of an inch, TO
three inches square, according to the size
of the spool to be produced. These sticks
are thoroughly seasoned. They are
sawed into short blocks, and the blocks
are dried in hot air kiln at the time
they are sawed a hole is bored through
them. One whirl of the little block
against sharp knives, shaped by pat
tern, makes the spools at the rate of one
a second. a small boy feeds the spool
machine. simply placing the blocks In a
spout and throwing out the knotty or
defective stock. The machine is auto
mstic. but cannot do the sorting. The
si,ools are revolvs1 rapidly in drums and
polish themselves. For some purposes
they are dyed yellow, redor black. They
are made IN hundreds of shapes and
sizes. When one sees on a spool of
thread 800 yards or 1000 yards,'' these
words do not signify that the thread has
been measured, but that the spool has
been gauged and is supposed to contain
so much thread. Golden Days.
