An Electric Marvel.

one of the marvels of the recent cleo
trical exposition at Frankfurt was six
foot clectricsearch light of 10000 candle
power. Schuckertt, the Nuremberg cleo
trician, astonished Europe in its construc-
ton. Sohuckertt is now at work on a
larger light for the World Fair at Chic
ago. 1t will be seven and one half feet,
and of at least SO 900 candle power. The
Frankfurt light could be seen plainly at
Bingen on the Rhine, forty miles
away. 1t is expected that the search
light at the Wor DIS Fair can be seen at
least sixty miles away. Electrical
Engineer Sargent is making plans for a
tower 800 feet high, on which the big
light will be mounted At a height of
100 feet above the ground will be two
six-foot search lights, and the three will
suffice to illuminate the skies for miles
around Jackson park. Brilliant teats are
accomplished with these search light.
Sheets of light can be projected with par
allel, converging or diverging rays.
When the rays are thrown out parallel
clearly defined sheet Of fame seems to
be sus pended in the darkness. By chang
ing the reflector the rays are brought to
a locus at long distance from the central
station. These lights, turned on the
buildings and alternatel y shot into the
heavens or out across the lake, will pro-
duce brilliant electrical effects.

The Lion of st. Mark.

That symbol Of the Venetian Re-
public-the famous Lion of st. Mark
which, after being restored, was re-
placed yesterday on its column in the
PiaZZetta at Venice, is made OF bronze.
There is q tradition among the Nene'
tian people that its eyes are diamonds;
they are really white agates, faceted.
It's name is most deliberately wrought,
and its retracted, gaping mouth and
it's fierce nustaches give it an Orlen-
tai aspect. The creature as it now
stands belongs to many different
epOchs, varying from some date previ-
Gus to our era down to this century.

It is calculated, that the number of
Immigrants who have conc into the
United States in the last 100 J ears is, in
round numbers, 16,000,00o, or the
equivalent to one-fourth the present
population of this country. OF this
number nearly 5000, 900 were from Ger
many, 100000 from Ireland, 1,50O,-
900 from England, nearly 1000, 900
from Sweden and Norway and nearly
500, 900 from Italy. OF the Is, 900, 900
who have come, fully 100000 were
from Europe, 100000 from ASA, over
1000, 900 from British America and
about 100000 from other American
countries. The Chinese immigration
from 1855 to the time of its prohibition,
in 1882, amounted to about 275, 900.
Since the passage of the Chinese exclu-
sion act in 1882 the number known to
have come in under the law is but about
500, though it is asserted that large
nGa4cers have come in by devious meth

A Solid Silver Pass.

The Silverton Railroad and the Rio

Otto Mears is preuident, have combined
mileage Of 223 miles. Mr.. Mears issues
the most beautiful annual passes used
on any road in the world. This year the
pass is highly polished, solid silver
plate, made of Colorado silver by native
workmen. The name of the recipient is
engraved on the central plate. There
are no sordid, cautionary "conditions -
on the reverse side of this pass, warning
the holder that in accepting this he ere
leases the company from all liability for
personal injury" This invitation to
travel is as generous and free as the
winds of the Colorado mountains through
which the road runs.

There has not been a year for some
time, declares the Boston Transcript.
when game was as plenty in Maine and
when so little was killed and DESTROYED
as during the past winter. One reason is
that the snow in many localities was not
deep, and at the same time it was hard,
holding up the deer and caribou, and Civ
ing them chance to project themselves
by flight. Another reason is that the
guides and hunters have learned that it
is for their interest to leave the game
alone, especially during the deep SHOWS.
Moose ale quite plenty in the central part
of northern Maine, and deer are now
plentier than they have been for long
time at this season of the year. In the
Nicatous region both game aud fish are
particularly plenty this year.

Nv TIE BALLROOM.

| Mid rosy banks Of rarcat bloom,
And sweet low sounds of pleasure
Adown the si!kcG, scented room
She traads the winsome measure;
And per.mned gailants proudly bend
To meet her modest chances,
And catch the whispered words that lend
Allnrement to the dances.
Her liquid 17lbies lightly tint
The laccs that cnto!d her,
HalfIo-t within the dreamy CLINT
OfG.hcY milk white sl,ouldcr;
But, alb, the gem Of her :,tt9 heart,
beneath its dainty covers,
Lies li,}lnu from tho sulstlest art
Ofall the3c would-bo lovers.
And quite III vain their courtly wiles,
Their compliments and &roces;
For even "a, with bows and smiles,
Tho walters take their places,
Within her happy thoughts she sees
Distinct Al some old etching,
A winding lane Of laurel tree
ThrO' far off woodland stretching.
She listens to her praises set,
In silver chordel speech
But dreams tho while of one she mot
Upon those yino-clal reaches,
For, ah. the sweetest tributes heard,
The most imprisoned suing,
Can never drown the faiute>t word
OF this remembered wooing.
Whon golden streams Of music fell
AtnwaGt tho rytAmic reycl,
She only hears the cat-bird's call
Far down the grassy level
Ofdiztant pastures, with the glow
Ofs:ar-cycd daisies lighted,
Wherein, few short months ago
Her simple troth was pLshtcd.
As SO her fancics dwell aloof,
In blithost freedom taring,
To where, meath some imagined roof,
In love and labor sharing,
They too, shall live forevermore,
Far from the gay, mad riot;
Aud count the Dlissful moments DER
In calm, delicious quiet.
