The electric-lighting system in large cities seems also to have developed q similar condition of things in the shape of what are called elcctric-ngbt bngs; and singuIarly, each systcm of lighting has its own peculiar insect sat elite.

Fhc Prosperoms West.

Postmaster General Clarkson who has just returned to Washington from { pro'racted tour of the West is quoted as saying; "The larger half of the country lying west of the Mississippi river Is undergoing great prosperity. It has many great questions which must soon be met. The silver question has been fairly settled. It is pretty we'll satisfied with that. The question of irrigation is now, I think, larger one with all tho mountain States than even that of silver, and the Government ought soon to devise some vast system of water storage, so as to utilize the moisture provided by nature for the immense areas of land now useless be- cause of lack of wat CT, or else it ought to enact Legislation protecting private capital in providing such storage.

The House Committee on Rules gave hearing to John A. Enos, an inventor, who seeks to have m appropriation of $G0, 1000 made to defray the cost of in- stallipg his patent electric voting ma chine in the House of Representatives. Mir. Enos explained the workings of his machine and brought to the attention of the committee some facts to defion- strate its probable utility and economy. He stated, for instance, that during this session there have been over 300 roll calls, each consuming thirty minutes time, or an aggregate of thirty working days, and he asserts that by the use of his machine twenty-five days could have been saved. The committee took the matter under advisement.

 An express train is to be run over the New Jersey Central and Reading tracks that will, it is expected, beat all pre- yious records made between New York and Philadelphia. By using single To- comotive and thus avoiding change of engine at Bound Brock, by scooping water from track tanks at Green Brook instead of stopping for water, and by increasing the speed for Inc whole trip, the scheduled time is brought down to 102 minutes for distance of eighty nine miles. Between Plainfield and Elizabeth speed of over seventy miles Gn hour is to be attained The Newark Bay bridge and the city grade crossings are the retarding features of the trip.
 
 Before the passage of the Silver bill providing for the monthly purchase of 4,500, 600 ounces of silver it was proph- esied by certain timorous and faint hearted people that tie United States would be flooded with silver from all parts of the world. The Hohenzollerns, notably, were to disinter their hoard from the fortress of Spandau and durap !tjnto this couptry, and the white metal was to become so cheap that the chil- dren would scorn to throw it at the birds.
 The Silver bill has passed ard is about to go into operation, but what do we see2 England actually buying sil- yer for her uses in the American mar ket and shipping ii across the Atlantic. T4e recent purchases in New York for English account are known to~ have he@p very heavy, tlsoNgh inc figures are not given; but if c,fly ten ounces had been bought and shipped it would be enough to send the predictions of the snti-silver men and half-hearted friends of silver to everlasting smash. -S.
