An old woman named Roberts, who claimed
to be the boys godmcther, and who took In

sober, exercised a sort Of guardianship over
him. Apart from her failing Mrs. Roberts
was very kind-hearted, mendoi the boys

NJ. Jablochon, who was an afileer in the Rus
sian army. invented in 1876 one OF the earliest
successful electric lights. Tho invention,
which was known as the Jablochon candle.
attracted great attention at that time. and In
1877 It was used quite extensively in Paris
for lighting stores and streets. but has since
been superceed by the more economical are
light. In brief the invention consisted In
placing two carbon pencils side by side In

which is non-condueting at ordinary temper

tense heat Of tho current, become conductor
Of electricity. The substance usually used
was plaster Of Paris, which gives faint rose
