MUCH grumbling is heard over two continents about the inability of many would-be exhibitors to secure enough space at the Columbian exposition. From some of the requests that have been rejected 1t would appear that the idea has gone forth that the whole city of Chicago, perhaps the entire state of Illinois, were included in the fair grounds. Most of the disappointed ap- plicants would have displayed some: thing well worth seeing, but the great show will not seem smaller without them; enough will be seen to occupy all the time anyone can give to it, and all visitors, on departing, will wish their days and dollars had been many times as numerous

Prison Reform,

In writing on the subject of prison re- form In the various states throughout the union Samuel J. Barrows in an article in the New England Magazine gives utterance to some very truthful and pointed remarks. He says:
 'In every state in the union, the leaders in prison reform arc obliged tD go to the legislature again and again with fervent appeals repeated and pro longcd, sometimes for n number of years, to secure measures and reforms which to students of the subject are necessary and urgent. The prison re- former of to-day iS not a rosc-watcr scntimcntalist. He must be a student of the social and moral problems which enter into the large and difficult sub ject of crime and its treatment How complex and mysterious many of thesc clements are, only those who have at tempted to grasp them can understand. Indeed, on many of the questions In volved in this subject, no ono can be dogmatic. We must wait for further light and experience. If there be some disadvantage in the contradictions of the criminal codes of the different states, and the prison system attached to them, there is some advantage in the fact that different states are making different experiments along different lines concerning the re- duction of crime and the treatment of the criminal. If there is n wide di- versity of practice in prison administra-
 ton in the different states, it may be
 said that prison reformers have come to
 a general and even warm and positive
 agreement concerning the fundamental
 principles of prison reform. These
 principles may be briefly stated as, first
 the protection of society, and second
 the reformation of the prisoner As tc
 how these principles are to be applied
 and these ends attained, prison author
 ities differ; but that these arc the ends
 to be worked for, they earnestly agree

An electric bell is not at all
difficult Of construction. A small
horseshoe magnet is attached to a
board, and to it is fastened the slen.
der metal handle OF small hammer.
As an electric current is sent
through the magnet it sets this
handle in vibration. To the magnet
is also fastened long coiled wire
which is attached to a small battery
and thence is conveyed to button
or handle from which the apparatus
is worked and the bell rung. The
wire is 50 arranged that the current
Is not complete unless the button Is
pushed or the handle moved.
When this is done current is
made to flow through the wire and
around the coils of the electric mag.
net, which attracts a piece of sof,
iron attached to the handle of the
hammer. This iron is drawn close
to the arms of the magnet, the ham
mer handle is moved, and the
hammer strikes gong or hollow
hemisphere of metal, producing 8
resonant sound. A spring is placed
above the soft iron which, fyine
back as the pressure on the button
Is removed, breaks the current, ano
the ringing ceases. 1t can be re-
newed only when pressure upon tn.
button completes the circuit agar
and causes the electro magnet to &C,
upon the soft iron bar.

Gambling In London.

One of the London weeklies says
that roulette and trente-et- quarante
have a great hold in London society
and are growing daily more popular.
1t says: "A few years ago it was a
matter Of some difficulty to buy in
England little roulette wheel and
green American cloth painted with
necessary squares and numbers: but
now these wheels can be seen in any
number of shop windows, side by
side with toys, and the real tables
in miniature are openly shown in
two or three we'll. known furniture
shops, and can be bought for moder.
ate sums ranging from f5 to f2,
and orders for the real thing (by
the real thing l mean those as large
as billiard eables), are, l am told,
every year increasing in number in
London.
"As yet some players have not
quite accustomed themselves to
Monte Carlo in London, or is it
that British hypocrisy overweights
them? l was admiring a handsome
polished and carved oak table the
other day in library, in the center
of which stood an immense bowl full
of tulips and hyacinths, and around
were scattered few magazines and
prettily bound books. "Oh, that's
our new roulette table, and the lid
lifts off just round the carved edge.
Isn't it capital contrivanceY said
my smiling acquaintance. We sold
the billiard table and had this made
instead, and we find the game so
much more amusing than billiards.

How Deaf Autes Dance.

now OeaI 4ut08 U40c0.
81 never felt so lonesome in my
life" said a gentleman recently, "as
when I CHANGED to be thrown one
day with a party of deaf mutes.
They could understand each other,
laughed and carried on, and had a
good time generally, while I sat like
a mummy, apart, looking on, but
unable to participate in any of the
fun.
"One thing that surprised me
greatly was to see them indulge in
dancing. l had always supposed
that it was absolutely essential to
hear the rhythm of the music in
order to keep time to a waltz or a
polka. To be sure, they had an or.
chestra, and for time l regarded
that as peculiar, for few, if any, Of
the party could hear the strains.
CATER q little thought l solved
the mystery. The mutes could not
hear the music, but they felt it.
which was as effectual. To be sure
of the matter, l spoke to the leader
of the orchestra, and he assured me
that my surmise was correct, and
that when he was employed by the
party it was expressly stipulated
that he should bring his biggest
bass drum and bass viols. The
deep tones were more vibratory than
the others, and the mutes kept ex-
cellent waltz time by feeling the
vibration Of the wood flooring upor
which they danced"
