A new safety lamp for mines-a rectan-
gular box of ebonite containing accumula-
tors of the Pollak system, and resting on
a metal plate-is described in a London
journal, with the statement that, with the
mode experimental with and weighing
some 1880 grams, perfectly constant
light Of or to O.S candle power was given
forth for twelve hours. In this device an
ebonite lid serves as support for a glow
lamp inclosed in a cylinder Of thick glass,
the whole covered with metal top fixed
closely by means of pins, the junction be-
ing made hermetic by a leaf Of soft caout-
chOuc introduced between the top and the
box.
Into the lid are inserted rods Of an inOxi-
Cizable metal, which pass through it, and
support at their bases contacts Of platinum,
these meeting the platinum contacts Of the
accumulatOrs, and having at their sum-
mits springs, one Of which is in metallic
connection with foot of the lamp; the
other foot of the lamp is insulated and can
be brought in contact with a pole Of the
accumulation by means of a needle intro
duced into a horizontal channel made in
the lid.
As the contacts are in the interior Of the
box and the lid, neither the opening nor
the closing of the current can cause an ex-
plosion, hence the lamp can be either ig
nited or extinguished in an inhammable
atmosphere. Again, the advantage pre-
sents itself that, il the system or arrange
ment is dismounted, or if the glass globe
Of the glow lamp is broken, the lamp is ex-
tinguished

The Natchez were divided into mobiles
and common people, which last, with an
arrogance not peculiar to savages alone,
were designated ''stinkards."
The mobiles themselves were divided into
Suns, mobiles and men Of rank. The Suns,
according to tradition, were descended
from a man and woman who came down
from the sun to teach them how to live and
govern themselves. They enjoyed immu-
nifty from punishment by death, and their
nobility was transmitted only through the
female line. Although the children, both
male and female, bore the name of Suns,
the males enjoyed this honor in their own
persons alone.
Their male children were only mobiles,
the next generation were men of rank,
and the third lowered them to plain stink
ards, although distinguished actions might
retard the deterioration of the blood. But
the case was very different with the female
posterity. They enjoyed through all gen
erations the privileges Of their rank. Lau-
doniere speaks OF a queen who was much
reverenced by her subjects when he visited
Florida.
The nobility never intermarried. AS we
have already noticed, one Of their Laws pro-
hibited their being put to death for any
reason whatsoever. Another law decreed
that when Sun died his or her conjugal
partner should be put to death at the time
Of burial To fulfill these two laws they
only married stinkards.-H. A. Giddings
in Popular Science Monthly.

In Rome wills were unknown before the
enaction of the Laws of the twelve tables,
and subsequently no one but Roman eiti-
zen was competent to make a will, or wit
ness it, or inherit under it. Sometimes the
Roman testator wrote the whole Of his
will with his own hand, and it was then
called "holographum. but generally q
lawyer was employed to draw itup. Who
ever wrote another's will, whether be were
lawyer or not, was forbidden to write down
any legacy for himself, and the entire in
strument was only legal II written in Latin.
A bequest conveyed in Greek, for instance,
would be invalid. A Roman might disin-
herit any orall of his children and appoint
whomsoever he pleased to be his heir.-All

Not long ago a nuptial mass set Of vest
ments were prepared especially for Arch
bishop Corrlgan when he celebrates a wed
ding mass. It was made OF white satin,
and around the outer edge is worked vine
Of forget-me-nots in colOrs that blend.
Around the cross in the back Of the chasu-
bic is also worked gold sprays of mar
guerites in vine shape. In the center Of
each spray is inserted a pearl. The cross is
richly Ornamental in pearls and pink sea
shell embroidery.
Sacristan Mclaughlin told me that there
are scores Of visitors to the cathedral from
all parts Of the country who desire view
Of the vestments. Many prominent society
women who are interested in embroidery
constantly petition tostudy the needlework
on the vestments. OF course these petitions
are granted only to a very limited extent,
and very few people are permitted except
before the altar, when the vestments are
being worn, TO view them, New York

It would seem that England never
had better chance for m!achisf-mak-
ing than at tho presept time, regarding
tho Affairs with China. Russia and
France both want more territory, and
when the Trans-Siberian railway is
finished, it looks - though Russia
might take sllce off China with com.
pAsative ease. Germany would like TO
destroy Englsnd's trade, but not only
does England intend to keep what she
has, but she would like to 60 still far
ther into the interior, and establish
trading posts. On the other hand
China rcsents all these invasions upon
her territory or her commerce. and is
ready to enter upon . war of extermi-
nation. An allied army could do but
little with the hordes of natives, and a
bombardment Of the seaport towns
would not affect the situation very ma
terially. But England is an old hand
ut exciting dissentions among her ene-
mies,"-she has been practicing it with
varying success ever since good Qneen
Bess left that maxim of policy a. a
legacy to the English people,-and it
would seem that to exotic disscntion
among the Chinese themselves would
be the best thing possible now. 1t
would secure tho safety of every for
eigner in the country for . time at
least, and it would open up trade with
every hamlet of the interior.
