result in holding up single city as the
wickedest place on earth is not by any
means matter OF easy inference.
Edison is said to have perfected his kline
tograph and kinetoscope, which may be
regarded as new triumphs in science, new
horrors In civilization. These instrn-
ments are intended to represent the
poetry and prose of animal locomotion.
They will portray an orator on the plat
form, a prima donna expiring in a
frenzy Of melody, tenor in the stars with
a high note, a mill between Corbett and
Peter Jackson, football tussle, drunk
ard Keeling home or toward the gutter,
and many other incidents of the treadmill
of life. By taking photographs rapidly,
about fifty to the second. all that the eye
discriminates is caught by the kinetograph,
and by reproducing them usually, just as
rapidly as they were taken. the scene pho
tOgraphed is re-ena acted. Thus celebrities
of every kind will be literally immortal
ized, for in combination with the phono-
graph what they say and do can be con-
joined. The inventions are wonderful
illustrations of the boundlessness of mans
Intellectual domain. 10 comprehension,
as Shakespeare puts 1t, man IS like god.
The new instruments are likely 10 have
their most important applications, not In
stage mimiery for fools, but IN scientific
applications to advance our knowledge In
physics aud the laws and processes OF life.
The peerage Of England contains good
strain of beerage-LOrd Hindlip, who
represents Allsrpp; Lord Burton. who
represents Bass; Lord Iyeagh, who rep
sents Guinness, and many others. These
may be said to represent potables. and
the majority of the remainder may be
taken to typify beef and acres, for the land
is their possession. The bishops represent
both, as the Church of England is owner
of large number of very common public
houses oil saloons. particularly In low
quarters of London, and hugs its revenue
like any other landlord. Salisbury made
AIlsopp Lord Hindlip, and Gladst ne
converted Bass into Lord Burton, and now
Salisbury owns the one as well as the
other in politics. The usual process of
dyeing blue In the august cham Der of the
peers has taken effect in Burton. He is
ashamed of the nominal convictions of his
plebeian days. and has joined the true
aristocracy of blood, birth and culture.
Moreover, his only daughter Nellie has
married some Scotch Marquis OF Farm
tosh, who traces descent from William
Wallace and many other heroes who lived
before history was written accurately,
and there is family harmony on the sub
ject of politics. As Lord Bur'o has given
The public buDgstarter by his apostacy.
the pebs can revenge themselves by de-
cliuing to drink his beer.
II might occur to the En- glsh to make
some use of the House OF Lords on the lines
of the Imperial Institute, which was
founded as a sort of club and exhibition to
e. H. har. xxJith ho
ress of her chickens. but which is degene-
rating into concert free and easy. This
is the kind of announcement of entertain
ment: Table d'hote dinner prince of
Wales not in the chair and Blue Hunea-

lures are common features, and one
recently delivered was so arimadvertive
pungently on Canada that Canada threat
ems to secede from the institution. The
House of Lords might have some utility il
conducted on the same lines. The gor-
geous chamber is oppressively dull, save
on nights when the peers are playing foot
ball with House of Commons measures
and the cherished reforms desired by the
| people. But there might be quite a CAV
| muster il the House should give dinners
and smoking concerts. the Lord Chancellor

Malato, the anarchist leader, says the
troubles in Sicily are not the result of
anarchist teachings. but are due to dis
tress, bad government and excessive taxa
ton. 1t requires some species Of intelli-
gence to accept anarchy as polity hopeful
of benefit to mankind, and the Sicilians
are so densely ignorant that their mental
status is hardly high enough to swallow
anarchism as a creed. But they have
stomachs and backs, and when both ache.

LII Italy were intelligent in the affairs OF
government there would probably be a
revolution from LON hardy to Sicily at this
moment. The country is cursed with ex-
cessive taxation and an army of office
