Eoonomx In Electricity.

A novelty in electric lighting is be-
ing practically tested in large build.
ing in New York city. Instead of ar
ranging the incandescent lamps on
one circuit and feeding them con-
tinuously from the same source, they
are arranged on number OF separ'
ate circuits, say four, and the current
is alternately switched from one to
the other in regular succession, the
idea being that the current, having
heated each successive circuit OF
lamps to incandescence, will be re-
turned again to thatseries before the
lamp filaments have time to cool.
The means by which this is accom-.
plished is unemployment OF special
| interrupter or rotary cylinder, on
which the segments are 80 arranged
that a system of brushes, with which
| they make contact, carries the cur.
rent alternately to each series OF
lamps The periodicity of the cur
rent in this device is about70 per sec
ond. Notwithstanding the loss Of
energy in the interrupting mechan
ism, the inventor claims that between
two and three times as many lamps
can be operated from given source
of energy by his system as by any
other system now in use. New X ori

FuneraI. In the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages it was customary
at the funeral Of any great person to
have his horse led and armor borne be-
fore his corpse, the horse being after
ward claimed as a mortuary due to the
church at which the burial took place.
The armor was either reserved for the
next of kin of the deceased or else was
hung up in the church. No doubt much
of the armor suspended over tombs is
mere "undertakers trappings," although
often considered genuine and of antiq-
uity.
Over the tombs of bishops the episco-
pal inter and pastoral staff were some
times suspended, as in the case Of those
in Winchester cathedral hanging over
the tomb of Bishop Morley, who died In
1906, and of those in Bromsgrove church.
Worcestershire, suspended over them mon
ument of DIR. Hall, bishop OF Bristol, who

Significance of evan" and "von.'

It is a common mistake of Ameri-
cans to think that the prefix van
before a Dutch name signifies nobili-
tv. In the low countries-that is, in
the kingdoms of the Netherlands and
of Belgium-'van" has no particular
meaning. Names with wan" are
apt to be read on shops as well as on
the doors of the most aristocratic
mansions. The humblest persons
have it as well as the most refined.
On the other hand, great number
of the very oldest families are with
out it. :,
In Germany won" means noble,
and all persons belonging to the no
bility have won" before their fam
ily names without any exception.
Persons who do not belong to the no
bility cannot put won" before then
names, as they have no right TO az
so and would be found out directly
if they assumed it and make them
selves ridiculous. But in case OF g
man being knighted for some reason
or other he has the right TO put
"yon" before his family name. Foi
instance, when Alexander Humboldt
was knighted he became Alexander
Won Humboldt, and all his descend
ants, male and female, take the pre-

No sensible man will buy a horse

man has good eye for horse, but
he knows little OF nothing of its

with the trained veterinarian. More.

One of the most peculiar begoar.
In the city may be found almost env

on the side streets. He is a very tall,

features, very gruff voice and a
manner which, to put it mildly NAV

trade secret. For Is or 20 minutes
he will saunter along speaking to no
one then suddenly he will dart up
10 a stranger, thrust his face down
close to the man and say something
in low tone. The peculiar part of it
is that he rarely fails to get money.
A Sun reporter who had noticed
this peculiar mendicant a dozen
times, but had never been an.
preached by him before, met him on
the Bowery a few nights ago. The
beggar was walking along with a
contemplative air. When his eve
fell"on the reporter, his air suddenly
became businesslike, and rushing up
to the reporter he said sharply:

There was something SO attractive
and frank in the man, so much sa.
voir faire about this tramp of the
Bowery, that the reporter decided to
lend" him the desired quarter.
Three nights later the reporter met
his man ON Grand street, and ap'
preaching him said, when are you
going to pay me back that loana"
The beggar looked around in as
Then a grim smile re-
axed his features.

Nose was very proud of it. The next
Sunday the squire was driving home
from church with his family, and the

Nose was bareheadedi and was carefully

'Dat's 30, Mass Johns, replied Nose;

The squire used to miss chicken now
and then, and at length the mysterious
disappearances were laid at the door of
one Ezekiel, who was accused of the theft
by his master.
Zeke was darky Of exceptional wit.
lie had picked up a little arithmetic and
iprided himself on his acuteness. When
charged with the chicken taking, he asked
warily:
Now, Marse johnson, if can show
you dat only tux dem fowls for yoh
good, will yop let me go JUS dis timer"
The squire was curious to hear his de-
fense and told him he would do so.
"Well, you say you paid 5000 for me,
and weighs jus bout hundred an fifty
pounds. Dat makes So pound. Now,
ifI'turn yoh chicken meat dat amt wuff

or course the squire saw, and he used
often to repeat the story and laugh at
the darkys ingenuity.
The war came on, and Zeke was one
day detailed off the plantation to help
throw up some earthworks. The enemy
observed the defensive preparations and
began to shell the place. The first mis-
siles went wide of the mark, but after
few rounds the rangeawas found more
accurately, and the shells began to burst
-uncomfortably close to Ezekiel.
He stood his ground as long as he
could, but at last dropped his shovel and
ran for his life. The officer in charge OF
the operations met him little distance
down the road, and halting him ordered
him to explain hisfight. Zeke was trem-
bling with fright, but found breath to
say:
"Dey's shootin over dare, and Marse
Johnson he's poh man. He paid $500 |
for me in Memphis, and he can't afford
to have me killed." And with that he

Earlt Printing.

The following are the earliest
known examples of printing-two in.
oulgences, printed usually on one
SIDE only of single piece of vellum
and two magnificent Bibles. OF
these one is known to be the first
complete book that ever was printed
by the wonderful new invention
which, as the early printers so often
proudly state in their colophons, pro-
duced ''letters without the aid of
any sort of pen, whether of quill, of
reed or of metal"
The first piece of printing which is
actually dated is the famous indul.
gence of Nicholas V to such as should
contribute money to aid the king of
Cyprus against the Turks. This in
dulgense has the printed year date
l454, and copy in The Hague mu.
scum has the date ''Nov. Is" filled in
with a pen. Mr.. Duff tells us that
I'm the years l454a and 1455 there was
a large demand for these indulgences
and seven editions were issued.
These may be divided into two sets,
the one containing 81 lines, the other
80 lines, the first dated example be-
longing to the former"
This 80 line edition is shown to
have been printed by Peter Schoeffer
de Gernsheim, by the fact that some
of the initial letters which occur in
it appear in another later indulgence
of 1889, which is known to have
come from his press.-Saturday Re

Low Temperatures.

| Some recent results in French
chemical experience have attracted
considerable attention from the fact
that by new methods a temperature
has been obtained far lower than
hitherto known-namely, 273 de-
grees G. below zero or 491 degrees
F. below the freezing point of water
This temperature was obtained, it
seems, by using series of cold wells
according to a simple and original
plan. In the first of these wells
there was used a mixture of carbonic
acid and sulpurous acid and by their
evaporation temperature was Sc
cured Of 110 degrees G. below zero.
In this cold well was then immersed
condenser in which the vapors of a
still more volatile liquid, protoxide
of nitrogen, or ethylene, were con-
densed and thus reached $50 degrees
below zero. In another well 210 de-
grees was marked and again 273 de-
grees. In the case of these last
named wells, nitrogen, carbonic, OK
ide, marsh gas and atmospheric air
under pressure of 40 ratmospheres
were employed, and the instruments
with which measurement of the low
er temperatures were made consisted
of hydrogen thermometers gradual
ed by comparison with the sulphuI1c
ether instruments. 1t is thought
that the low temperatures obtained
by these experiments will lead to
some new chemical combinations of
an important character.-New York
