CandIestIcks OF Iron Used in illuminating

CandleBtIcks OF Iron Used In Illuminating
the streets.
The history of lighting the city Is a
subject of much interest. In remote
times the city must have presented a
very curious aspect; there was no
method of street lighting at all; the
narrow, unpaved streets were deserted
when darkness fell except by thieves,
who found in the want of artificial IL
Elimination splendid confrere to help
them in their nocturnal undertakings.
Notwithstanding the ringing of the
curfew bell and the order that all lights
and fires were to be extinguished when
it's sound was heard, it was soon found
that city could not conclude all it's
business at o'clock in the summer, or
when darkness came over the city in
the winter. Kindly disposed citizens
as early as the fourteenth century be-
gan to hang outside their doors a come
mon candle made of rushes and coarse
grease and these gave a faint glimmeF
on moonless nights. We find that In
the year 1916, in the reign Of Henry ",
the citizens were called upon as duty
to light the streets, and although some
obeyed the injunction, the duty was in
adequately performed. 1t was the Gus
tom then for ancient watchmen to car
ry lanterns containing burning candles
placed ON the top Of long pole, thus
lighting in some small way the streets
over which they perambulated. 1t was
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth that
the fear of Spanish invasion drew ht.
tention TO the dangerous condition Of
the streets at night. The darkness
might hide foul couspirators; conse-
ouently an order in council commanded
every householder to do his part in the
lighting Of the city on pain OF death by
the common hangman This order
seems to have excited some attention,
for at the present day there are to be
seen in the museum underneath the
Guildhall library several of the candle
sticks said to have been used at this
i period for street illumination. The
candlestick consists of q rude bar Of
iron, having at its back a rack and a
catch by which the socket holding the
candle can be raised or lowered - TIT

There is an administrative regula-
ton in force in most Siberian penal set
Elements requiring political exiles to
appear at the police station daily, semi
weekly, or weekly, and sign their
names in register. The intention,
apparently, is to render escapes more
difficult by forcing the exile to come, at
short intervals, to the local authorities,
and say, II am still here; haven't es-
capped" And as proof that he hasn't
escaped they make him sign his name
in book. 1t is stupid regulation; it
affords NO security whatever against
escapes: it is intensely humiliating to
the personal pride of the exile, espe-
cially if the authorities happen to be
brutal, drunken, or depraved men; and
it causes more heartburning and exas-
peration than any other regulation in
the whole exile code.-Century.
