Though it is well known that the transmits
sion Of power by electricity in England has
made little progress as compared with the
enormous extent TO eihich it has been de-
veloped in this country, we are hardly pre-
pared to learn from so good an authority as
Professor Ayrton, that in the whole Of Great
Britain there are hardly 100 electric motors at
work at the present time, rs compared with
COCO at work in this country. 1t would be
difficult to prove, we think, that the much
abused English electric lighting act is entirely
responsible for this state of backwnrdness,
and we are confirmed in this opinion hy the
very neat definition which Professor Ayrton
hns given Of the difference Of the term sim

at from tho American standpoint, it means

they are ahead Of us so far as science is con-
cerned, and even assert that their machines
are better than ours the fact remains that
while they are waiting for developments and
improvements we 60 ahead and attain our
ends by actual experience, and thus so far
es actual results arc concerned, ascertain tho
best practice, not by speculation, but by
work And in such results, indeed, is en-
bodied the final test Of everything However
well theory may indicate results, it is only by
actual experience that the truo Value Of any
system or device can be nscertained; and
though trial and failure may be in the FIRST
place moro expensive way Of obtaining this
truo value it certainly has the advantage Of
getting at results quickly, and in a shape

ally very well dressed, who have made it a

occupant, all the while mumbling TO them

I from them they strongly resent, and the
mystery as to who they are or where they
hail from is as impenetrable as any cavern Of

arc those around headquarters who say the
women even did their promenade act on

In ono respect at least China sets an ex-
ample which all tho world would do well to
follow. In this empire every one marries
and no ono boards" Hence, generally
speaking, there arc as many welded couples
es there are men and women above tho mar
riagsble age, and as many centers Of home
life as there are couples married
The one modification to this rulc exists in
the fact that a newly married pair finds its
home in the family of the husbands parents
until the bride is herself a mother. With the
marriage ceremony, the bride loses absolute
ly and finally all connection with hcrs own
home, and becomes an integral part Of the
family OF her husband. In it she is only a
