Car Lighting by Electricity.

A neat portable battery with electric
lamp for the lighting of cars has long been
needed-something which can easily be
slipped into place, and which will light the
car ''from the roof" For this purpose .
fiat battery with the lamp underneath, with
reflector and some hooks or sliding catches,
has been suggested. An advance toward
this desirable end is being made in the re-
suits of experiments'in lighting the London
omnibuses. The battery used is five
cell battery, constructed of special lithanods
plates, fitted into box. The terminals are
led to two contactspieces on one side Of the
box. The battery so arranged is put into
well under the drivers feet, in which are
two contact pieces leading to five candle
power lamp So far the battery has been
under continuous practical test for about
three months, with results so satisfactory
that o contract has been entered into to
supply and electrically and mechanically
maintain the lights in the buses upon one
of the London Road Car Company's routes.
It is stated that from an aesthetic point Of
view the new method of lighting omnibuses
is heartily welcomed in London. A cotem-
pory remarks: ''These vehicles are at no
time palaces of comfort, but there are times
when, what with the evil smell from the
lamps and the Pickering light, added to
other discomforts, seat in an omnibus
means a minor taste Of purgatory."

wonder at his evident cruelty The reason
for his action Was made manifest q few mo.
menrs later when my pony entered the
water and proceeding leisnrely to the mid
die Of the river paused to drink and then
tried to roll. Several natives came to my
assistance, and by shouts and blows got the

minutive horses, to keep them on lively

Al o'clock the following morning we
started on the final stage of our inland
mountainous Journey. The naked Indian
carriers had pushed on during the night
with our luggage. Each one had bamboo
frame on his back held in place by shoulder
straps and broad leather band around the
forehead which supported the bulk of the
weight All the carrying into the noun
tains is dole in this primitive fashion. Our
guide was an Indian whose clothing con-
sisted of a loin cloth and q soup-plate hat of
plated straw. He carried our umbSellas
and the Gamers. The servants followed on
foot, helping themselves up the steep paths
by hanging on to The tails of our ponies.

As the topography changed the types of
natives altered. The Indians encountered
In the occasional mountain nuts were
finer, more spirited lot than the subdued
looking, dusky inhabitants we met in the
valley and along the coast The popularity
of these mountain tribes is that while they
are more active aud better developed than
the lowlaEd clans they are less to be
trusted The sea coast Indians are good
natured and lazy, but they are holest-as
Indians go. At length we came to La

shaped basin in the mountains with no visi-

were clad il gaudy colored blankets
wrspped around the waist, with a vividly
cc!ored scarf thrown o-er the shoulders and
bosom. Their long hair fell straight and
anconined to their waists. The younger
girls wore considerable less clothing and
had their hair banged"
