FRANKLrN's ELECTRIC LIGHT.

tury Ahead of Edison.
The department of state lately re-
eeived from Mr. B. T. Stevens, of tue
United States Dispatch agency ut Lon
don, an account OF historical electrical
apparatus once owned by Franklin,
which he has recently unc1rtheI in
that city. Among other things, Mr..
Stevens says, according to tho Boston
Herald, hc has fou1I that Franklin,
during his last sojourn in England,
made On electric light, and that hc
could produce from it with his prfrni-
tive appliances sufficient electric light
to read by. This antcdatcS the achieve
rlcnt Of Edison by more tlan one hun
drcd years.
Tho lamp is in a good state of pres
crvation. and has recently been tested
by the owner, Il gentleman residing
near London, who finds that it works
as satisfactorily now as when franklin
himself experimental with it. It-is d
curiosity of great value and i1npor-
tance In illustrating the history of
electric lighting: It is by no means
the arc light or the incnndc scent lamp
of modern times. It's principle, how
carbon points, this dcvicc-which was.
invented by Sir Humphrey Davy in
1313-firat demonstrating the practical
bihty of electric lighting. The total
length of the cylinder, within which
the light Is produced, is about twelve
inches and the diameter three inches.
Each end is provided with attachments
for connecting it with the positive and
negative poles of the machine, which,
it should be remembered, was the only
means of generating electricity with
which men were then familiar
The electric light in this rude but IN
genious device was produced by the
lcaping of tho intercepted current from
the ball to tic metallic point. Tho
ends of the tube arc partly closed un-
doubtcdly for the same reason that tho
globes of the arc light arc closed Mt
present, and tho Light given of is
brilliant and steady.
Tho machine with which Franklin
generated the electricity for this novel
experiment is turned by u crank,
grindstonc like; and was the most
powerful and complete in construction
of any electrical machine of that day.
This crank turns 4 pondcrous cylinder
of glass, which is ruL3cd by brushes
with silk covers. These brushes con-
vcy the electricity ceEcctcd from the
cylinder to tho positive and negative
conductors, supported oiy large glass
pillars, where 1T can be used for pur-
poses of experiment. Tho machine is
stanchly built, and is capable Of pro-
ducing Il spark twelve or fifteen inches
long, While simple inits construction
# could hardly be improved upon by
our wiscst electricians. 1t is especially
adapted Tor the advanced experiments
of various kinds which Franklin was
engaged with ut that period of his-life.

Lizards drink by tapping, like dogs

very quickly to catch insects, their
chief food. Some lizards live mostly
in the water, some wholly on land, aud
some on trees Land lizards are gen
orally nearly of the color of the soil.
tree lizards are bright colored, mostly
green, and those which live among

an ideal. The world can agree on but
few ideals, and no sculptor or painter
ever portrayed in masterpiece q
horse that would not be severely
criticised as an ideal.
The question of the ideal may read
lily extend from the type of horse to
the proportions of type. A draught
horse and race horse may each he
handsome and perfect in his way. 1t
may be said that the ideal horse is the
one that produces the most agreeable
impressions, and this rule may both
apply to the type of horse and to the
proportions OF any type. As far rs
proportions go, q horse should in a
general way be we'll and handsomely
formed and have correct and beautiful
lines. There is wide range for the
application OF this rule, and many
horsemen will see beauty in adapta-
tion to needs which others will not

bred with far less OF the Arabian in
his form than Salvador, as may he seen
form the picture of Salvador taken
from painting for Outing. He is a
beauty though, aud is by many horse
men said to be the handsomcst horse
in the State. Stambonl may be taken
AS fine illustration OF the trotting
type.
The proportions OF the famous Sunol
are interesting because she is trotter
with very marked thoroughbred char
acteristics and is the most notable i'll
lustration of Senator Stanford's orig
inal plan of breeding tboroughbreds
to trotters to give the latter the en-
durance, energy, ''gamey" spirit of the
former, theory not yet generally ac-
cepted by breeders. Sunols very
strong strain of the thoroughbred is
marked in nearly every point.
The thoroughbred, rs result OF
long and careful breeding aud train
ing, is undoubtedly to-day the finest
horse the world has seen, and in him
the best qualities Of his oriental ances-
tors have been developed far beyond
those of the Arabian, Barb or Turk,
though the beauty of the type may
have suffered. San Francisco Chron-

brought to England
The thoroughbreds of to-day have
thus stain of the royal blood of the
Arabian, Barb and Turk, mixed with
the blood of the English charger,
horses of all degrees of common blood,
horses with pedigrees and without and
horses that have been fast and slow.
The pedigree of horse thus becomes
of great Significance. for "blood will
tell in horses ss well as men. and the
study of pedigrees in which the
majority of horsemen are fairly we'll
advanced, h one that many revel in
for years, and IN which no one ever
graduates. As result of the mixture
described, the modern thoroughbreds
possess the characteristics of the
Arabian horse in greatly varying de-
grees. Salvador. shown in an accom-
panying cut, has these characteristics
in marked degree. The "Chaban"
Arabian shown was celebrated
stallion imported for the stud of the
King of Wurtemburg, and fairly
shows the Arabian type.
The Arabian type has undoubtedly
been conserved in the thoroughbred
by the training and work he has been
given through each generation and
which would tend toward the very
characteristics by which nature
adapted the Arabian to its conditions
and environment. The characteristics
OF the typical modern thoroughbred
which not everybody can tell on sight
like the greyhound and is in perfect
physical condition. He is tall, slim,
long coupled, has small pannch,
long, slim neck, depth from
shoulders to chest, small muz-
zle, large nostrils and wide
forehead. His muscles stand out in
bold relief, his coat is silky and his
skin fine. He is intelligent, nervous
in disposition aud has great endurance.
He is short lived, as u rule, partly,
perhaps, because he is worked hard
early i'll life. He is at his prime at
four years aud at six is generally ready
to be retired.
The trotting horse iS shorter
coupled, is heavier through shs flank
and has heavier psunch and wider
chest. The neck is heavier and shorter,
the limbs are heavier and the pasterns
shorter. He needs aud receives twice
rs much care as the thoroughbred. His
conformation is necessarily different.
for he uses different set of muscles.
Tr0tting is an unnatural and cultivated
gait for horse at high speed. and he
needs strong frame to stand the
shock of the 10, O0O-pound blows which
his feet give every time they strike the
ground"
80 the draught horse has still diff
ferent characteristics, and other types
might be discussed. Sir Modred, the
