Into all lives some rain must fall,
Into all eyes some tear-drops start,
Whether they fall as gentle shower,
or fall like fire from an aching heart.
INTO all hearts Somo sorrow must creep,
Into all souls some doubtings come,
Lashing the waves OF life's great deep
From dimpling waters to seething foam
over all paths some clouds must lower
Under all feet some sharp thorns spring,
Tearing the flesh 10 bitter wounds
Or entering the heart with their bitter sting,
Upon all brows rough winds must blow,
over all shoulders cross be lain,
BOwing the form in It's lofty height
Down 20 the dust In bitter pain.
Into all hands some duty's trust,
Unto all arms some burdens given,
Crushing the heart with Its weary weight,
Or lifting the soul from earth TO Heaven.
Into all hearts and homes and lives
Gods dear sunlight comes streaming down,
Gliding the ruins OF llfe's great plain
Weavingfor all golden GRO wn.

boat built bv our Government from the
designs Of NJ. Zeie. dire tor Of naval con-
struction, has been placed in the waterat
the arsenal Of Toulon. She is 10y - feet
ia length BY six feet in extreme breadth
perpendicular. Her ascent and descent
in the element are effected by the expul-
sion or reception Of water-ballast in tanks
used for that purpose, and the ~sustenta-
ton Of an internal atmosphere depends
upon reservoirs Of compressed air. Her
movement upon a horizontal plane is
actuated by an ordinary udder, while
her movement up OF down is governed
by hinged rudders attached to her rear
sides. The usual small dome shaped
cupoia Of glass, about fourteen inches in
diameter, used fer observation purposes,

a Krebs electric battery OF fifty horse

ternai functions. An officer, pilot and
two engineers will comprise her crew.
She is designed 70 pass under the huh Of

electricity when the boat is a safe dis
lance away. The trials thus far have

to the order of the Sultan Of Turkey.
The vehicle p~resentsfhe appearance ofsn
ordinary four aheeled dog cart. without
shafts. ii is made Of walnut. and has
seats for fonr Fersons-two in front. and
two At the back. Beneath the seats are
placed the accnmnlators which supply
the electricity TO the meter. The ac-
eu~musators, twenty-four in number, are
Of special type, and contain a charge
sufficient to propel the vehicle for FIVE
hours at an average speed often miles per
hour on an ordinary track. Their weight
is about : ewt., and that OF the carriage
all complete, a little over II ewt. The
motor is one Of Messrs. Immish's one
horsepower type. and in this case uses a
current of % ampheres, with an electro
motive power Of 4s volts. The ccnnec-
ton between the motor and the carriage
IS effected by a chain running around tn e
Off hind wheel, the revolutions Of the
motor TO those Of the wheel being as IS
to |. When the vehicle is running at a
speed OF ten miles an hour the motor
makes LAO revolutions per minute, and
develops a three-quarter horsepower.
The steering is effeete | by means OF an
adaptation in tire forecarriage. A shaft
surmounted by a steering handle, passes
through the footboard, and terminates in
a pinion which works in a toothed rack
fixed above the fore axle-tree. The
driver thus possesses perfect control over
the direction of the vehicle, and can reg
ulste the speed by means Of a foot-brake,
acting on both hind wheels. Immediate
~ in front ofthe driver, also, is the switch
for completing the current, and in order
toobviate any jar at starting three resist
snces are provided. In It's course round
