lutely impregnable, 30 far as an assault
is concerned, and l should only need
twenty-five men to do it. This is NOT
guesswork, but matter Of scientific GER
tainty. Some years ago, when wires
loaded with electric charges began to 60
under ground, l predicted that there
would be danger Of the firemen receiving
deadly shock by the electricity running
down the streams Of water which might
cross the wires.
"ln each fort I would put an alter
mating machine of 10000 volts capacity.
One wire would be grounded. A man
would govern stream of water OF about
400 pound pressure to the square inch
with which the 2O,0OO-voIt alternating
current would be connected. The man
would simply move this stream of water
back and forth with his hand, playing or
an enemy, moving them down with abso-
lutte precision. Every man touched by
the water would complete the circuit, gel
the full force of the alternating current
and never know what happened to him
"The men trying to take fort by as
sault, though they may come by tens OF
thousands against handful, would b.
cut to the ground beyond any hope Of es-
cape. Foreign soldiers undertaking t.
whip America could walk around such a
fort as mine, but they could never get
through it. 1t would not be necessar,
to deal out absolute death unless the op
orator felt like it. He could modify the
current 80 as to simply stun everybod,
and then might walk outside his fort and
pick up the stunned generals and Others

all agreed in their praises Of the needle,
SO inspired were they by the astounding
quantity of every kind of work executed
by their acquaintance.
Who is not familiar, too, with the ca
pacious work bags of our greatgrand-
mothers, as well as with their quaint
samplers and pietuees embroidered in a
fiat style, which contrast greatly with
the raised and complicated productions
of the needle during the reign of the
Stuarts? The example of women's ac-
tivity came, as usual, from high quar-
tiers.
We read with no little amazement of
the prodigious number of tapestry
chairs worked by the Electress Sophia,
mother of George l., who left tokens of
her niInble fingers to palaces, converts
and churches all over the country,
which did not prevent this gifted
princess from learning. five languages,
besides being renowned as a clever
painter and gardener as well as pro-
found philosopher.
Caroline, when princess cf"Wales, 1875,
interested herself in the silkworms kept
in the mud berry garden at Chelsea and
was forever knitting. Later on Queen
Charlotte, fond herself of knnnng, knot
ting and ribbon work, showed her spe-
cial interest in needlework by estab-
fishing a school for the daughters of
olergymen and decayed tradesmen,
where silk embroidery was taught as
profession.
The pupils worked for their patroness
4 magnificent bed-cover in lilac satin,
which was exhibited for long time at

Buying Precious Stones.

1t is just thirty-three years since the
writer was assured by the great Indian
jeweler of that day, man full of expert
ence and representing large capital, that
there was one final limit on the value of
diamonds and rubies. "No one" he said,
remained in the world who would
give more than fifty thousand pounds
for any single stone" "They won't do
it, he said, the ''they" meaning prince
Iy purchasers generally, mot if 1 could
produce ruby as large as rocs egg;
they have begun to think of interest"
The wealth of the world has increased
since then, and especially the wealth
of indiyiduals-no one then was worth
clear five milkions-in degree which
we hardly recognize; but we should
still have said that the man who would
give one hundred thousand pounds for
= single stone would, that is, pay four
thousand a year for the pleasure of
possessing useless article, usually in
visible both to it's possessor and the
world, could not be discovered. The
millionaires had become too enlight-

like, too SOLICITORS of reputation for
