If the report from England be correct the
Saunderson arc lamp possesses some very
valuable properties. The principle on
which the invention is based is that of re-
inforcing the luminous particles of incan.
descent carbon in the electric arc by q sup
ply of hydrocarbon vapor. This is fed
directly into the arc from the hollow lower
carbon, fitted with a reservoir Of oil and q
wick. Tho effect of the added volume OF
vapor is Gaid to be an enormous increase
In the luminosity of the arc, consequently
most brilliant and economical light. The
hydroc&rbon employed is very cheap and
the hollow carbon entails q very slight OK
ira expense; but the efficiency Of tho arc
in watts per candle is said to 30 nearly
doubled. The color of the arc is changed
by the enriching medium TO clear yellow
ish white, quite different from the usual
blush glare. The invention is certainly
very ingenious, and if the results are uni
formly as good as those found by d.. Hop
kinson, who conducted the tests quoted,
we may expect before long to see the new
electric torch in general use.-New York

Guiding village headman, charged with
causing greyous hurt to four Others by
requiring them to plunge their right hands
- into caldron of boiling oil. The medical
- evidence described the hands as being in "a
sodden, suppurating condition, the fingers
being in some cases deformed. In all
cases the injured persons were unable to
follow their ordinary avocations for about

nounced that it would be necessary ON the
third day to hold an ordeal by boiling oil
a. This appears to be u not uncommon Gus
tom in remote parts Of the country, and
4 fornalities are as follows. Some oil from
newly gathered king cocoanuts is manu-
featured by one of the friends of the com
plainant. This is poured into caldron
and heated to a boiling point. Each of the
suspected parties is supposed to dip his
hand into the vessel of boiling oil and is at
liberty to sprinkle as much of the hot oil
as he brings up with his fingers on the per-
son Of the complainant, who stands close
at hand An exclamation Of pain on the
part Of the suspected person is construed
into an admission of guilt. If no such ex-
camation is made the innocence of the
5E party is supposed to be established.
In the present case the evidence estab
lished that the pressure on the accused was
not merely moral; that they were forced
to dip their hands into the burning oil

LOVES ROSES.
In q meadow gay and lowered,

In meadow gay and lowered,
On n balmy summers day
Walked maid by nature lowered
With more charms than tongue can say
As her arms with flowers she laded, .....
Gay and childish was her air,
And her charming face was shaded
BY her curls Of chestnut hair.
In that meadow, DER the daisies,
Wander two, instead of one,
And a handsome stranger gazes
At the sweet maid he has won.
Thrice as happy is the maiden
As when with the flowers she played;
All her heart with love is laden
For the idol she has made.
Still that meadow; hut the roses
From the maiden's cheeiCs have gone;
No more gathers she sweet posieS,
But she wandeTs there alone.
Meath her feet a daisy token
Smiles, though crushed by feet Of men;
But the sweet maids heart is broken
She can never love again.
