Electricity at the Great Exposition.

The extent to which electricity has been put in
to use for all purposes will be fully demonstrated
at the Worlds Columbian Exposition. 1t should
not by any means discourage inventors from
further investigation in this direction. Instead
it should stimulate such investigation. The COM
mercia and business world does not fully trust
electric inventions, but is rapidly getting to do
so, because of the rapid improvement of late in
the quality and efficiency of such apparatus.
Especially will it illustrate the latest practice
in the utilization of electricity for lighting and
power purposes.
In studying the many exhibits it is not proba-
BILE that the average inventor however keen his
perceptions may be, can make radical improve
ments in the present method of producing cleo
trio light or power, and from a financial stand
point it is just as well that this is So for the most
money is almost invariably made by minor de-
vices that are economic short cuts, so to speak,
TO accomplish desired end. The department
of electricity has probably been given more rein
than any other department in the Exposition, on
the basis that anything electrical should go in
the Electricity building. Because of this appar-
ent favoritism claSSificatiOnS of exhibits in other
buildings have not been observed. and while this
breaking up of classificatiOns has demOralizing
effect on the arrangement of exhibits, it has a
redeeming feature in the fact that it concentrates
all the applications of electricity in one place.

An ambassadors Privilege.

Hitherto except on special occasions
this country has only been represent
ed by ambassadors in six European
realms. the empires of Austria, Turkey,
Russia and Germany, the kingdom of
Italy and imperial, royal and republican
France. Not a quarter of a century
ago there were only four British embaS-
sizes abroad, although the United King
dom was, of course, automatically rep
resented at every foreign court. 1t was
not until the unificatiOn and cOnSOlida-
ton of Germany had been completed
by William [. of Prussia that our lega-
ton in Berlin became an embassy. The
achievement of Italian unity under
Victor Emmanuel suggested and OBJ
tanned a similar complimentary ac-
acknowledgement on the part of our gra-
cious sovereign. 1t is unquestionably a
judicious and popular new departure :"
to emphasize, so to speak, the amicable
nature of the relations happily obtain
ing between the two great English
speaking nations by placing our official
representation in the capital of the
Union upon the highest attainable foot
ing of diplomatic dignity and distinc-
ton. An ambassador. as the personal

The Age of the Earth,

Among the wider problems of natural
science toward the solution of which
contributions have been made during
last month, the most striking is that Of
the age of the earth. Mr.. Clarence
King, the well known American geo.
logist and explorer, contributes an elab-
crate article on the subject to the Ame,-
lean Journal Of Seizure tser. 3, vol. XIV,
PIP. 1-2O, pls. l., H., in which he claims to
have advanced Lord kelvin's method of
determining the earth's age to further
order of Importance. He discusses the
experimental Investigations of DR.. Carl
BaruS on the effect of heat aud pressure
on certain rocks, and particularly selects
the case of diabaSe which has specific
gravity approximately equal to the
average specific gravity Of the earth's
crust. In the light of new facts, he
then reconSiders the probable rate Of
cooling of the earth, rendering more
precise the conclusions of Lord Kelvin.
AS to the result of the detailed discus
sion, Mr.. King concludes that the earth
age probably does not exceed twenty
four millions of years-in fact, that the
estimate of the physicists is approx
mately correct. while that of the geol-
ogists is vaguely vast" Scientific Am

When Greek Meets Greek

Voltaire and Rousseau, though on
friendly terms, were in the habit Of fir
ing off jokes at one another. One day
Rousseau was dining with Voltaire, and
oysters were brought on the table, for,
as somebody has remarked no dinner
would be complete without them. The
author of Emile" after helping him
self pretty freely, made the somewhat
injudiciOuS remark:
g am sure l could eat as many ovs-
tiers as Samson slew Philistines."
with the same weapon?" (the Jaw
bone of an ASST slyly inquired Voltaire.
Rousseau did not soon forget the liz.
tie joke at his expense, and sought an
opportunity for revenge. Not long aft
EDWARDS Voltaire called at his house
during his absence. The door being
open he walked into the library, and
finding all the books thrown about in
confusion and covered with dust he
traced on one of them the word "cochon''
pig with his finger. Next day he met
Rousseau and said to him:
IL called at your house yesterday, but
did not find you in
Il know" replied the latter;"I found
your card."--G0zette Anecdotique.

ON THE SHEPAUG.

The -Shepaug railroad has enjoyed a heavy passenger traffic during the last season, the increase being very marked over the preceding year. A parlor car has been run this year, which proved a successful venture. The freight busi- ness has also increased. Those who are good judges predict that the summer business on the road is bound to steadily increase, every year. It is believed that this lovely and wild little valley is bound more and more to grow in popularity as resort for city people. A good many extensive improvements have been made on the road during the last year. Three heavy trestle bridges have been replaced by more substantial structures, two or three miles of steel rails laid and numer- ous small bridges replaced. These im- proveme1ts have been earned and paid for, which shows that in the future, the road is to be piece of good paying property.

Or goods fresh from the counter may

The pattern in this case was adapted
turned wrong side foremost"-from
a round-yoke French Mother Hubbard.
The little yoke may be either round or
square-the little illustration shows O
happy medium. The cloak is plated
instead Of gathered to the yoke, with
only narrow heading, and the plaits
are side-plaits running each way from
broad double box-plait in the center
OF the back and from the opening in
frcnt. The sleeves are very full and
plated into the arm-size rather than
gathered, and plated, too, into the vel
vet cuffs. Two long strips of material
(lined heavily with "stiff'ning') are
plated into stiff little frill that
stands upright on either shoulder.
These epaulets are graduated in width,
from quite broad in the center to very
narrow where they merge into the arm
size altogether on either side. Long
ribbons tie at the throat, and a hook
and loop fasten the yoke at its lower
end. And there you have the little coat
complete! Could it be simpler or more
childish? In my own eyes it is very
dainty and charming.-Annie Hamil-
ton Donuell, in Country Gentleman.
