Light without Heat.

From the Electrical World.
To the speculative mind. none of the pos
sible future applications of electricity is
more attractive, and none so full Of imme-
diate interest, the possibility that
seems almost within our grasp of obtaining
light without heat, of making the light
waves without the heat waves that have
thus far always been at the same time the
companion and the burden Of all artificial
light. The time is ripe. and the exact SCI
ence Of the day seems all but ready and
willing to give the analysis Of two great
problems, the answer to either of which
would stand the crowning achievement Of
a century of progress in the application Of
natures secrets 10 the requirements Of
daily life. One Of these-the navigation Of
the air-seems to be a mechanical problem
only while the other-the production Of
light without heat-we may as confidently
say is only a question Of properly handling
the electric current. Nature presents US
with beautiful examples Of both solutions
but guards jealously the key to her method
Of operation, by which well-known forces
are made to do the apparently impossible
thing. and 1t is equally beyond our science
today to explain how the bird scars aloft
on motionless wing and how the glow
worm emits a CLEAN Of light without a ray
of heat. But they do 1t. and the many
imitators of the bird will soon be eQualed
in number by those who are chasing the
firehy's secret.

$50 my husband asked no ques-
tions, and we brought the child up as
our own.
"'I think he has even forgotten that
she is adopted.
1.-The rest you know; you came home
from Europe, settled in New York, be-
came prosperous, and as your boy grew
up you sent him to college at New
Haven.
"'Then, with "the irony of fate" dur
ing my absence from home, he comes
into our house, falls in love with our
daughter, and, but for my tardy con-
fession, would have married his own
sister!''
Lady Berkeley paused in her nara
tive, and sighed.
She was looking into the fire with
her hands clasped on her knee, and
thought her face pathetically sad.
Silence reigned for minute, but be.
fore anyone had q chance to speak,
Lady Berkeley continued;
We'll. the young people were told
the circumstances, and Mr.. Prentice
went up to Milford and wished to
claim his daughter.
THE clergyman and his wife were
broken-hearted, but dared not oppose
the rightful father after their selfish
ness in depriving him ale those years OF
kis own child.
"A compromise, however, was made,
that lmogene should live in her old
home three months of the year.
"She then went away with Mr.. Prem
tice but never came back to Milford,
for, before the year was out, she was
engaged to an Englishman, and soon
after married him"
Again Lady Berkeley paused, and,
looking at Jonson, said, with smile:
''Is not this strange enough for fic.
tion?'
"Yes," he answered, "and l feel as
though it must be, it was SO unn ltural
in the girl to go and live with her
father, who was practically stran'
ger"
"She was awfully hard-hearted,
wasn't she?" asked one of the party.

maiden fair,

AIazy little maid was she, for all she was SO
sweet
Nor cook meal, nor sweep room, nor sew

There lived man, rot long ago, who loved
this winsome maid,
And at her tiny little feet his great big heart
was laid.
Aautter shook her little heart, it futtered

At last the little answer came, so soft, SO
sweet: Eyes, John"
the day was set, the gowns were made, the
tiny house was sweet,
Which was TO be the little nest Of John and

Soon to the cozy little home John took his
Marguerite;
But fgh. against it as they would, they found
they'd have to eat
At first the cream would never rise, the
bread would never set
The coffee was the mildest drink that John
had ever met
The roasts were never quite cooked through,
the boiled eggs always hard,
And what was fried was swimming in little
pool of lard.
The sweeping and the busting and the work
to keep things neat
Seemed never ending, wearisome and hard to
Marguerite.
The buttons came off by the score, the holes
and rips came, too;
Johns little plan for pinning them they found
would never do.
1t took some time for Marguerite to learn to

In time she learned, did Marguerite, but as
