JAPANESE ENTERPRISE.
American Machinery Enables Them to Do
Remarkable Things.

Japan has recently given striking
example of what can be done in the de-
velopment of water-power, with the aid
of electricity. About seven miles from
the City of Kioto is Lake Biwa, having
an area of 500 square miles at an eleva-
ton of 14S feet. From the lake to
Kioto q navigable canal has been cut
involving two miles of tunnel and a
long aqueduct. On reaching the city
there is sharp decline of lis feet The.
difference in level is overcome by in
clincd planeways 9, 100 feet in length, on
which boats are raised and lowered
from one canal to the other. These plane
ways are operated by electric motors,
which are driven by turbins using the
fall just mentioned. The wheels arc
supplied with water from the high-level
canal by three lines of thirty-six-
inch pipe, 1900 feet in length, deliver
ing the water under head of 100 feet.
Not only do these water-wheels furnish
power to run the electric generator for
the plancway motors, but they also
operate another dynamo whose current
is distributed to motors which run rice
mills, spinning mills, watch factory,
etc., and also drive an arc and incandes-
cent lighting plant The whole work
cost about 81, 500,000 1t is interesting
to note that while the enterprise was
planned and executed by the eminent
Japanese engineer, Tenabe, the water
wheels are American, the dynamos are
American and the motors and lamps are
American. Our Japanese friends have
always shown great Partially for cleo
trical apparatus from the United States,
and do not seem to care to buy any
where else

LAW BREAKERS.

BERLIN complains OF the enforcement
of the Sunday laws under which no one
is permitted to work more than five
hours during the day.
To ILLUSTRATE the execrableness of
German law, cavalry officer was dis
charged for reaching from his saddle
and saving the life of little girl who
was about to be run over.
ONE Moses Lun was fined twenty-five
dollars the other day in Lynn (Mass.)
court for cruelty to horse. The full

mated when it is explained that he had
bought the horse for seventy-fve cents.
Two ENGLISH women fought, made
up their quarrel and kissed. Then one
of them caused the arrest of the other

the claim was made that the kiss had
cancelled the grievance and there could
be no cause for action.
A FRENCH artist recently evaded very
cleverly the law requiring dogs to be
muzzled by painting a muzzle on his
Fido. So realistic was it that the de-
ception might never have been known
if the dog had not foolishly bitten po-
liceman one day and so betrayed his
fond master.

ITS FIRST DRAMA.

California's Stirring Military Production
of the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.
The first theatrical performance
given in California was in low one
story adobe building on the corner of
Pacific and Scott streets, Monterey,
lately owned by John a. Swan, pio-
neer of 1S43.
The play was 'Romco and Juliet, -
John Phoenix Lieut.. Derby essaying
the character of the lover, and wom-
an weighing two hundred and forty
pounds, the wife of Sergt. Holcomb,
playing the part of Juliet. The date
of the play was January 1, 1S4S. Mrs.
Holcomb had studied her part indus
triously, but Derby turned the balcony
scene into roaring farce. j. Bank
head Magruder, colonel of the Third
artillery, was the Mercutio, and Capt.
Gen, then Lieut.. Armistead, who
was killed at Gettysburg, acted as
prompter.
The second performance was clam
let" Phoenix" playing the part of the
melancholy Dane and Magruder the
Ghost. The Ghost had been dining
with Seniors Alvarado and Arguello,
and had partaken of aguardiente and
native wine SO cordially that his utter
ances were more spirituous than scpul-
chral, and he nearly spoiled Ophelia's
flower scene, too, by coming in and
presenting Laertes' afflicted sister with
a bouquet of cabbage heads. Fourteen
of the auditors upon these two occa-
sions became general officers during the
war of the rebellion, among whom were
Kearny, Magruder, Burton, Mason,
Armistead, Stoneman, Reynolds,

A dams First wife.

According to the Jewish Talmud,
Lilith, the tabled mother of demons
was taken to wife by Adam, our first
parent, prior to the appearance of Eve
upon the scene. Being the legendary
mother of all evil spirits, one would
quite naturally accept the story as a
fact when told that she became unman-
agcablc and tried to supersede Adam as
lord of all creation. Thwarted in these
her evil designs, she took to the regions
of the air, where, as a specter in the
guise of a beautiful woman, she lies in
wait for and pounces upon defenseless
children. Some ignorant European
Jews believe that the beautiful murder
ess still inhabits the air above our
earthly abodes, waiting with the pa
tiencc of a demon for a chance to muir
der their little ones. 1t is said that the
word lullaby" is corruption of the
words 'Lillia, abb" or "Begone, Lii
ith," words used as charm by the SUI
perstitious mothers of the middle ages.

THE SHOP GIRLS OF PARIS.
Their Condition Described as One of
Great Hardship.

Their Condition Described as One of
/ Great Hardship.
The new order of things in Fran ce,
which is to emancipate the workers and
free everybody from everything, includ-
is apparently for men only. The
chamber of deputies recently refused,
practically, to extend to women work
ers the law for the regulation of the
conditions of work in workshops, dis
guising the refusal under the form of
an adjournment of the matter on the
pretext that the grievances of the wom-
en- are not yet ripe for discussion. OF
course, women have no votes. The
shop girls of Paris held meeting at
the Bourse du Travail recently to pro-
test against the action of the chamber.
The condition of the Paris shop girls is
described as one of great hardship.
They have to be in the shop from thir-
teen to fourteen hours a day, receive
very small pay, and are expected to
dress we'll At some few stores, as the
Bon Marche, their circumstances are
more pleasant, but in general the girls
in the great stores have a hard time.
They are compelled to stand all the
time they are at work, and the air of
the stores is far from exhilarating.
Skilled work girls in France, says
the New York Sun, are much better off
than those in stores. Statistics pre-
sented at the congress femineste by
Nine. Vincent a few days ago show
that out of 1885, 900 artisans in France
there are AIS, 900 women, who receive
in wages or dividends nearly S500,00o,-
900 year. They, of course, receive
much less in proportion to the work
they do than the men, but notwith-
this fact they draw thirty-five
per cent. of the entire sum spent in
wages. In Paris there are 5000 women
doing business on an independent foot
ing, and of 3,s5S suits judged last year
by the council of prudhommes 1874
