bulb half filed with mercury. The ends
Of the wires, from which the insulating
covering is removed, are sealed into the
over end OF the bulb. When the tube is
oent upward in the position B or c the
mercury surrounds the wires completing
the electric circuit and allowing the cur
rent to pass. To break the circuit it is only
necessary to unlock the end of the tube
and allow it to hang straight Down in the
position 4 o. ID. The current is at once
broken, and any spark that may pass be-
tween the wires is completely cut off from
the outside air and rendered harmless.
The current breaker may also be used to
good advantage as an automatic fire alarm
By making the hook to which the bulb is
hung of fusible metal, or even tying it with
piece of light cotton thread. When the
temperature rises sufficiently to melt the
fusible metal. or if flame occurs so as to
burn the-thTead, the bulb will fall down.

trio bell or OF her alarm
As shown in the engraving the apparatus
is designed t. be used on a closed circuit
that is, one where the current is continually
passing. If used on an open circuit it is
only necessary to seal the wires into the
opposite end Of the bulb, so that when it is
released from the hook the mercury will
surround the wires, thus completing the
circuit.

An Armcnian,s SfnrY.

A young Armenian peddler, now in Phila-
delphia, whose honest traits, knowledge OF
business and command of English have
won him many friends, tells an interesting
story of his start in life. He and his brother
were playing with knucklebones in the
streets of Bcyroot, and had won the entire
ST ore of their comrades. The latter, all lit
tie boys, bek an to cry, and the two broth
ers called the losers to them and returned
all they had lost. The boys were very
grateful, for knucklebones are valued by
Armenian children as marbles among US,
and, as they were manifesting their joy, a
stranger came up, who inquired what was
the matter. When he heard the story he
asked the two brothers to conduct him to
their home, and there he expressed desire
to take them and educate them.
The one now here accepted the offer,
with his mothers permission, and the
stranger, who proved to be rich merchant
from Damascus, at last installed him as
his confidential clerk and the companion
and Instructor of his son. On the death of
his patron the boy came to America, after
having travelled all along the coasts of the
Mediterranean, to Cairo, Alexandria and
Jerusalem, as a purchaser and seller of the
staple products of The country.-Philadel-

A Few Facts About sponces.

much discussion as to whether they should
be classed as animals at all. But that
question having been finally settled, we
Fan proceed To examine Il sponge in its ma

and flesh"
The skeleton is hard and composed of
needles of tiny" texture. The flesh is
"sarcode," and the animal possesses no
mouth, but 5 full of holes (pores) and
canals through which the water is con-
inually distributed. The outer layer of
the sponge is formed of ultimate compo
nents of the living substance of the sponge
Each contains nucleus, and when .ined
together form the outer layer of the body.

with the exterior by means of minute holes
and filed with water The cavity sepa-
rates the superficial layer from the deeper

Relation of Boiler to Engine.

Power users often make the mistake of
putting in boiler too small for the work
that it is expected to do According TO The
Industrial World the boiler should be po-
tentially much larger in horse power pro
duction than the engine it is coupled with.
A great deal of the heat product of boiler
is lost before it reaches the engine, and
Just enough steam production means con-
slant attention of the fireman at the fire
box. Coaling is accompanied by reduction
Of temperature md a loss of valuable gases
via the sInokest lck. The steam capacity
should be such that firing will not mate
rally reduce the pressure. In other words,
there should be- a reserve of steam in the
boiler above thai demanded for the engine.

The electric current may serve admir-
ably in residences, according to reliable
opinion. for lighting. power, heating and
ringing bells. The electric light is today
the safest, clesnest, healthiest and most
convenient that can possibly be had. The
greatest convenience to be supplied by
electric power is passenger elevator, but
other applications are the operations oil
dumb walters, small ventilating fans. ice
cream free zers, etc. Heating is the mos,
extravagant electric luxury, yet electric
flstirons may be used at cost of cent, an
hour, ard various cooking operations may
be performed in very satisfactory way. Ii
is now possible TO use wind mills for OPP
Grating electric plants for residences.

Palmer and the Duly OF Democracy

In response TO an invitation to attend a
banquet given by the Tllden club Of
South Bend, Ind, Senator John NJ. Pal
mer sends the following letter:
No man entertains more profound
respect for the memory of that great aud
pure democratic statesman, Samuel j
Tilden, than do. and if my engagement
here left it possible, it would afford me
the most sincere satisfaction to attend
the banquet. l do not believe that the
American people now are less patriotic
than in the past, aud it must be observed
and ieplored that with the growth Of
material wealth. The people have lost
something of their former devotion To
popular liberty and of their jealous re-
gard for their individual rights.
1t is easy to trace the causes OF the
changes; our constitutional government
is based upon the conviction cultivated
by the fathers that the citizens of the re
public had not only the right but the ca
pacity and resolute will to govern them
selves. Political duty wss understood by
them to be personal; that it was net only
the privilege bat the duty of each citizen
not for himself alone, but as repre- senung
and defending all others, to assert and
maintain his own political rights, hold,
ing as the corollary that when the polit
cal rights OF each individual were safe thu
aggregate rights were all secure.
Mr.. Tilden was one of that class %
great statesmen and patriots whose polit-
icsl views exactly shared by the hes,
ideas of constitutional government. and
it was remarkable that he was the most
conspicuous victim OF another republican
usurpation, and the democracy lost much
by failing to present him again TO IN,
country in 1880 to vindicate the right
The mission of the democratic party =
to vindicste democratic principles, and
great leaders sometimes embody and rep
resent principles so distinctly that to dis
pose Iesder is to abandon the priuci-
pies. The result of the mistake in 1885,
affords but little encouragement to demo
Gratis to seek success by other means

name and on behalf of the right.

When a Euu Won a Race

Nothing in the way of turf sport in the
south equaled some OF the scenes witnessed
on the small race courses in the Mononga-
hela valley near Mckeesport and at Union
town fifty and sixty years ago. The most
whimsical of these was race in which a
man bestrode a bullock in a race for ally
thing with four legs" The owners OF
horses made no objection to the entry OF
the bullock. counting confidently on win
ming.
But the sounds made 10y dry bullock s
hide used AS a cover, and certain articles
designed to make a noise, frightened horses
and mules so much that the bullock won
easily. The purse was withheld until il
was clear its owner would gain his case in
court, when it was handed over to him re-
