Regulating Electric Light

A new socket is being introduced which
will not only expedite the adoption Of the
electric light where it is not already in
stalled, but will greatly increase its con-
venience generally. The winding of the
socket is SO arranged that when the light is
turned down to its lowest stage the filament
is Just visible in the dark. 1t is thus easy
to locate the position Of the lamp on enter
ing the room and to turn it up to the de-
sired point without first having to feel
around for it among the electroliers or other
fixtures of which it may form part By the
use Of this socket one may have some
lights in a room burning at low brilliancy
and others at lower degree of incandes-
cence, thus distributing the light exactly
where it is most wanted, instead of being
compelled to burn the lamps full on when
little light is needed. The direct effect of
this method of regulation is that, with a
given expenditure for current, the average
number Of lamps in use may be largely in
creased, and the fact that it is possible to
burn the lamps at lower glow, and conse-
quently at a redused average cost for cur
rent and lamp renewals, especially in
rooms, Railways and other places that may
be partially or entirely unoccupied for
hours at time, will lead to very much
extended use of the incandescent electric
light The saving in current effected by the
new regulator is remarkable. By its means
25 lamps can be maintained at visible de-
gree of incandescence with the same amount
of electrical energy that single lamp
would consume burning at its normal candle

asks, ''What is the substance of the sky?''
Anaximenes replies to him that the outer.
most circumference of the sky is of ter
restrial substance, and that the stars are
attached to it like nails. This solid wall of
the sky was taught by all the ancients q
would have been quite curious to 90 far
enough to touch it in nv balloon voyages,
but as yet 1 have not vet had this happi-
ness). Empedocles believed that the sky
is solid, that it is formed of air vitrifed by
fire and resembling crystal, and that it con-
tains in each of its hemispheres an aerial
and igneous substance. This theory is less
rude. Aristotle says that it is composed of
the fifth layer; the chief thing would be to
find out of what this fifth LAYER consists
But his colleagues make answer that it is
composed of a mingling of cold and hot
Diogenes pierced the sky with breathing
holes, and said that the stars were these
breathing holes, which had been rubbed, it
appears. with pumice stone.
The Four Ends Of the Earth.
The earth was considered to be fixed and
immovable at the bottom of the universe,
longer from east to west than from north to
south by a full third; whence have arisen
the expressions longitude and latitude.
Each nation, moreover, had naturally the
small vanity of believing itself to be the
center of the inhabited universe. They
naturally felt assured that this earth was
solid, that there was no danger of its break
ing in, and that they could walk In safety
on its platform. As to its limits, some said
that oceans of marshes mark it out; others
spoke of darkness mingled with movement
and repose. Others. bolder men, of the
monks of the early centuries of our era, de-
clared that while making a journey in
search of the terrestrial paradise. they had
found the point where the sky and the earth
met, and had been obliged to stoop their
shoulders 10"
And yet certain questions had embar-
rassed inquirers. The dazzling source of
the light of day, the moon and the stars,
rise at point opposite to their setting. It
must be, then, that those bodies pass under
the earth. But it was believed that the
latter extended indefinitely below the sur
face. Such passage. then, was difficult to
imagine, and the more so that the stars

In only one matter has she ever gone against
my wishes Twice my boy has asked her to
marry him, for he loves her devotedly, but
each time she has refused him. I think
that if any one could have drawn him into
the right path it would have been she, and
that his marriage might have changed his
forever too late.
"Now, Mr.. Holmes, you know the people
who live under my roof, and I shall con-

"When We were taking coffee IN the
drawing room that night after dinner, I
told Arthur and Mary my experience and
of the precious treasure which we had
under our roof, suppressing only the name
of my client. Lucy Parr, who brought in
the coffee, had, am sure, left the room,
but i cannot swear that the door was closed.
Mary and Arthur were much interested,
and wished to see the famous coronet, but
thought it better not to disturb it.
