Light in Colonial Times.
the New England Magazine

From the New England Magazine.
By a law of William and Mary,
passed in 1890, every householder
who resided in certain parishes, or in
the city of Westminster, whose house
adjoined or was near the street,
"from Michaelmas unto Onr Lady's
Day yearly, shall every night set or
hang out candles or lights in lam
thorns on the outside of the house
next the street, to enlighten the same
for the convenience of passengers,
from time to time, as it shall grow
dark, until L of the clock in the night,
upon the pain to forfeit the sum of
two shillings for every default Ar
rangements might, however, be made
with two or more justices of the
peace for the establishment of lamps
in the streets at certain intervals.
This law seems to have prompted
similar legislations in the town of
New York, in 1897, in an order re-
quiring every seventh house to hang
out a lamp upon q pole. New York
thus antedates all other American
towns in this respect by nearly sixty
years.
The next town in order of time,
and the first in New England, is New
port. Here, however, street lamps
were hung out of shop windows and
houses, and this was due to private
enterprise. In 1851 the town petit
toned the General Assembly OF
Rhode Island to pass law for the
protection of these lamps, as willful
and malicious persons would often
break them.

To Prevent RuStinp,

Professor Smithelis, in speaking be-
fore the Leeds, England, association
OF engineers, endeavored to answer
the question: "How can the action Of
rusting be prevented" He said
many things have been tried. Iron
might be painted, and by the adop-
ton of certain precautions an affec-
tive method might be arrived at. One
precaution was that the metal must
be perfectly clean. A spot of rust en-
bedded below q coat of paint would
often break out of itself. There was
the method OF covering the iron with
oils and tarry matters. There was
also the process of galvanizing the
iron; the process of enameling, which
was useful for small articles, although
the enamel was apt to chip off, and
the Bower-Barff process, which was
admirable. Abiding to boilers, he
said that by putting soda into them
not only was the acidity OF the water
corrected, but something was intro
duced which would absorb the carbon
ic-acid gas and prevent it's acting in
rusty capacity.-Chicago News.

Dried Buffalo Tribe,

Recently gentleman from Cold.
neck district was promenading down
Whitehall street, when he spied a
string of sponges hanging up in front
of a big grocery store.
"What is them 'ere?" he asked of
Patrolman Brooks, who was pass
ing.
"That is dried buffalo tripe, my
friend" f-*@
"The dickens you eayl Is they

"Finest eating in the world if you

How do you cook 'em?"
why, just slice it, up thin, and after
soaking it thoroughly, dip it in O.

did
"Well, TIL be Juneswoggled if !

and he walked into the store and
purchased the whole string, while the
clerks were much mystified as to what
he wanted with so many sponges.
Heput in an appearance, "a few days
later and meeting Patrolman Brooks
again, he remarked:
Say you know them 'ere tripes?''

The Wine-Drlnklng Baby Capri

AaC Sl lAATNah'SS AS~NS
When wandering one evening toward
the Villa diTiberio, stumbled on a
curious scene. A mother sat on a
wall by the roadside with her infant
in sr arms, while the father, a strap
ping farmer, poured wine from a
black bottle down the eager throat Of
the baby. My remonstrances were
met by smile at my ignoracne and
the assertion that there was nothing
better than wine for it. Onmy return
l found the boy partaking OF its
natural food as heartily as it had
done from the wine bottle, '"Hhat, !"
| Said to the mother, ''is the proper
crink for your child. You llIay up
misery for it if you exchange it for
wine.' "Do you think so, Signore?
she replied, and, showing me the legs
and cheeks OF the latest young rascal
eversaw, she added, docs that
| ook like disease? Can you find in our
country a baby OF six months to edual
him?
On mentioning the incident to an old
man at the hotel he assured me that
it was quite the usual practice i'll
Capri, and on the same evening
pointing to his son handsome
young fellow who was dancing the
tarantella, he said, Had that lad
not got wine from theft he wasfour
months old he would not have been,
here tonight. 1t saved his life.

Guns and Gun-Making,

The government gun-factory at
Wateryliet, N. y. will turn out this
week, says the Springfield Rupublican,
a new twelve-inch steel rifle of the
most modern aspect. 1t will be sent
within a few days to be tested at
Sandy Hook, and is likely to attract
attention. The gun weighs tifty-two
tons, has a range it is presumed of
over ten miles, and it will carry a
1,OOO-pound projectiIe, the weight of
the charge of powder being 400
pounds. Thegoverment is not likely
to make guns much heavier than this
one, and in keeping the weight under
sixty tons our experts are in line with
thelatest criticism of the 11O-ton guns
of England and Italy, OF which
Admiral Hopkins of the English navy
said not long ago: "Vast sums OF
thepublic money have been squan-
dered on these big guns; they are a
great deal too large to be effective, and
it is earnestly to be hoped that we
shall hear no more OF such cumber-
some monsters but return to lighter
armament"

ALOFTY CLIMB.

A Sailor Sims Up Lightning Rod
to Examine Church Steeple.
A reporter for the New York News
called upon "an old Russian ex-sea-
man" who is said to be the most ex-
pert trigger" in that city. The re-
porter wished an interview for his
paper, on the subject of steeple-climb-
ing and the like. He found his man
pacing the floor of loft on West
Street, and was quite willing to talk.
I remember we'll my first climb on
land. 1t was when was a young
fellow, just arrived in New York. l
was walking down Broadway, when I
noticed a crowd standing in front of a
church. AS afterwards learned, the
church with its fixtures, was being
sold.
mixed with the crowd, and pretty
soon | heard man near ME say:
eff / was sure that cross on the
steeple was brass. l would make a
good bit for it."
looked up to the top ofthe steeple,
which was about O. hundred feet high,
and saw a big cross glittering in the
sun. | noticed also, q lightning-rod
running from the cross. l was just
reckless enough to determine to shin
up that red, and find out for myself
what the cross was made of.
Before any one could stop me I was
out of reach. The rod was pretty
rough on my hands, and | did not
reach the end of my climb without
risking my neck; but got to the cross
at last, whipped out my jackknife,
and scraped away. Having satisfied
myself that the cross was made Of
wood, slid to the ground, amid loud
cheers from the crowd, and pushed
my way back to my old position
Presently the man who wanted to bid
for the cross came up to me.
''Tell me, young man" said he, "if
that cross made of wood or metal?"
What would you give to know?
said l.
He slipped five-dollar bill into my
hand, and remarked: 81 guess that
will pay you"
"Thank you," said I. "This cross
is made of wood-rotten wood al
| that"
That was the first money l eve
earned ashore.

AN ACCIDENT THAT SOMETIMES
HAPPENS.

When you attend party
And gyrate with the girls,
The exercise is hearty,
Your brain with pleasure whirls'
But OIL the painful feeling
When suddenly you find
The naked truth revealing
Your necktie's up behind.
As down on change you linger
To watch the markets close
Some fool will point his finger
At you beneath your nose
And shout out quite jocOsely:
Excuse me, sir, find.
On looking at you closely,
Your necktie's up behind"
On some night when you're calling
Upon your sweetheart fair,
Oh, is it not appalling.
AS you your love declare,
When words come hard and harder
Quite suddenly to find,
Amid your loves sweet ardor.
Your necktie's up behind?
In this queer situation,
No matter how one tries,
There is no explanation
The necktie's bound to rise,
IT'S useless to reject it,
BY fate it is designed.
And when you least expect it
Your neck ties up behind

A SNAILIN THE EYE,
Peculiar Little Creature That viii
Hunt Up Dirt in Optics.

Peculiar Little Creature That VIII
Hunt UP Dirt In Optics.
Did you ever hear of an eye snail?
1t is found on the coast ofsome OF the
South Pacific islands, a product ofthe
sea, and i'll appearance not unlike the
half of a dry English pea. The fat
side is slightly conceived, and by close
inspection the numerous small legs
can be seen in readiness for business,
closely folded together.
Now comes the most singular part
of the story: Place the little animal
under the lid OF the eye, and he springs
off, running all about and around the
ball apparently in search of anything
of foreign nature, which, should he
find, he will sieze and come out of the
eye, evidently satisfied with having
performed his duty.
Stranger still, the thing remains life
less in the pocket until immersed in q
little vinegar, whereupOn it begins
jumping about, signifying its willing
ness to work.
Although the thing resembles the
half OF an English pea, there is nothing
irritating about it in the eye. Whites
are made acquainted with its use by
the natives, who frequently get grains
Of sand in their eyes while diving.
