Electric Light in the Holy Land

a decided sensation has been causel
in Jerusalem by the introduction of cleo
tric light into a new and fiourishing -four
mill lately started there. The building

near to the supposed site of Calvary ana
close to the Damascus Gate. 1t need
hardly be said that the Arabs and Jews

people considered it very handsome
coin. but there are some critics who
have never ceased to complain of the
eagle with uplifted wings, which they

has borne such fruit that congress has

Decline of Literary Receptions.

The past winter has practically set

practice was abused and the following
year saw the beginning of the cnd This
past season h'.ta few literary at hon4es'

former interest so much so that next

One cause uf the unpopnlarity into which
the literary reception III New York has
fallen was It's shameful abuse. A liter

a small coterie of her select friends, and
SO long as those same congenial spirits
came together Ill went delightfully."- Well
But one friend brought another. and
after two or three weeks he would in

the season the hostess would find her
rooms overrun with a lot of minor liter
ary lights whom she scarcely knew. and
the spell was broken. Then the deaths
of Miss Booth. Oliver Bell -Bunce. the
removal OF Marion Harland made a diff

the practice las died ont. Perhaps the

Suppiyin. Moving Engines with Water.

By 4 new invention which is being
tried or some Of the southern railroads
it is thought possible that engines can
be supplied with water when necessary
without stopping. The system is ex-
plainel as follows: There is to be a
tower over each well or stream that is
to supply water, about forty feet high,
and from this tower is suspended BY IL
wire cable Il tank or bucket. holding
about 2.509 gallons Of water The same
is raised b. passing locomotives, and
the water discharged automatically into
a storage tank. The bucket that con
veys the water to the storage tank, when
elnptiel, goes back automatically into
the wrI! OF stream Of supply, and IS illet:..
ready for the next locomotive. This
saves the expense Of Il stationary engine
and fuel, with engine and such expense
as attends he present system, and gives
equal guarantee OF reliable sarply.--
