Electric Torch Lamps,

A clever adaptation of the electric light
for the purposes of theatrical display is
the torch" lamp, and consists of a large
incandescent bulb with four lenses fused
onto it, all the surface around them being
frosted. The effect of this combination of
ing and lenses is to project the light in the
form of four condensed beams. An Amer
lean firm has sent large number of these
lamps to Europe. The lamps were mount
ed on torches which contained small stor-
age batteries. Little vanes at the base OF
the lamps revolved with the least motion
of the air and gave rotary motion to the
lamps, the beams of which would then
flash in every direction. This lamp is also
used with excellent effect as a locomotive
headlight.-NewY York Telegram

where science stops.

The notion that modern science can find
out everything is a pure illusion. 1t does
not know how the black death came any
more than it. knows how hydrophobia
begins, and would be as powerless to ar
rest another visitation of the same kind as
it is to prevent toothache We all suppose
that such visitations are over: but there is
no reason for the superstition except that
the vitality of the population has much in
creased, which, as regards large glasses, is
by no means a completely demonstrated
proposition. though it is as regards the
whole community.
We may trust the mercy of Providence"
if we please, but the mercy of Providence
is not our mercy; it spares none of us alive,
and the human reason can discover no
cause for leaving our people unvisited with
a great epidemic which should not also
have spared the unhappy population in the
valley of the Volga from their visitation of
famine. We may discover cure for ''in-
fluenza with pneumonia complications" as
we have discovered a cure for the ague
and we may not, as we have not discovered
a cure for the ever increasing ravages of
cancer. We know nothing whatever about
it, except that healthy living, good shelter
and perfect hygienic drainage do not pro-
tect us in the least, the heir to the throne
dying of it just as readily as the lowest
costermonger.
The visitation may pass but it may also
develop into one of those epidemics which
also breaks the strength of nations, and
might teach us all, if we ever learned any
thing, not to chatter glibly about the
dangerous rate of increase, which threat
ems before long to overwhelm civilization"
Mosquitoes never swarm so thick or dis
play such an activity as just before cy

Keep the Mind Open.

Auguste Comte once suggested the de.
STABILITY of class of men whose work il
should be to acquire knowledge of the
general results attained by specialists in
all branches of science, and, by combining
and comparing them, to acquire a more
correct mode of thought about things in
general than is apt to be acquired by a
man whose thoughts work always in the
same channel.
Some men of genius, without enrolling
themselves in any class, fulfill, in meas
ure, their requirements. One of Goethe's
most marked characteristics was his eager
ness to avail himself of the knowledge of
any and every one who had made special
study of some particular branch of learn
ing. 1t was not in the least necessary that
his informant should be well known OF

marks, 'Zelter's music is old fashioned"

NEW YORK, June Sit will be in
teresting at this juncture to look back
at the nominations made by the re-
publican conven lions which have
gone down into history. In 1855 the
candidates were Fremont and Dayton.
They were defeated. In 1850, on May
10th, Lincoln and Hamlin were nom.
mated at Chicago. In 1864, Lincoln
aud johnson were nominated at Bal
timore on June 9TH. On May 2lst,
1858, ut Chicago, Grant and C0lfax
were the nominees. In 1872, on June
9Th, at Philadelphia, Grant and VIII
son were nominated. AT Cincinnati,
in 1875, on June 10Th. the ticket was
Hayes and Wheeler. On June Gath,
1880, General Grant was beaten for
the nomination in q fight that will
ge down into history as one of the
most memorable in the annals of the
country. The ticket made up was
Garfield and Arthur. All the tickets
named with the exceptionof the first,
were elected. Blaine and Logan,
nominated on June 9Th, 1884, at Chi

Life Saving Devices and Ocean Disasters


The Washington patent Office alone con-
tains some fifty different models of swim
ming belts, cork jackets, life buoys, surf
boats, lifeboats and danger signals, and
considering the elaboration of marine
charts and safety arrangements in naval
architecture it seems rather strange that
the number of shipwrecks for the northern
hemisphere mot including the Gulf of Per
STA nor the China sea- should reach the
enormous average of 400 a year, involving
a loss of 5000 lives.
The fact is that new ocean perils turn
up as fast as the contrivances intended for
their prevention.
The very speed of first class passenger
steamers increases the fatality of such dis
asters.
Another new element of danger has
arisen from the fact that the civilization
of the American continent is working its
way farther and farther up north, involv-
ing the establishment of steamer lines
across the drift of polar icebergs. Felix
