was finally caught at Amsterdam. He was loaded with irons for number of years, but at last became 6 privileged prisoner at Vinconnes. One day, nearly ten years aft CT his escape from the tower he dashed past tho scntinels and disappeared in the crowd gathered by the uproar Outside the gate he offered himself for arrest to the single guard, but suddenly disarmed him and hurled his musket some rods away, then ran and hid in q park. After hours of wandering he entered Paris and found asylum with two girls who had befriend- ed him in prison. At the end of a few weeks of rest his daring spirit once more brought him into trouble. He wrote to the governor of Vincennes asking him to interfere for his pardon, and also boldly went in person to two ministers of the king to sue for their protection. He was shortly rcarrested and once more landed in Vincennes this time in dungeon cell known as tho black hole. There he re- mained for ten years. After two years confinement in Charenton ho was set at liberty and ordered into exile. He took his own time however, in quitting Paris and had scarcely gone 50 leagues when he wa$ once moro seized and carried to the prison of Bicetrc. He was then 53 years old and had passed almost the whole of 30 years in confinement for one impulsiye act of youth. Seven years later he was released through the influence of Mime. Necker.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
Its Recent ard Rapid Development Upon
 t.,e Continent

Its Recent ard Rapid Development Upon
 t::e Continent.
 Before a recent meeting of the Ameri- can Institute of Electrical Engineers MT. H. Ward Leonard delivered an in teresting address upon electrical engi neering developments i'll France and England as contrasted with those in America. In its commercial develop ment of electricity America is placed first-in fact, far in advance of the old world countries-but considered from an engineering standpoint MT: Leonard thinks the United States is losing the lead it has thus far held, He lays the responsibility for this condition of affairs almost entirely at the door of the great electrical monopolies, which have stood ill the way of progress, and particularly ill preventing the trial of devices and systems of which Europe presents varie- ties unknown to us. He questions what has been done in this country in the way of electrical engineering develop ment since Edison started his three wire lightning distribution at Sunbury Pa, in 1883, and Westinghouse established his alternating system with 1, 1000 volt primary and 50 volt secondary few years later, and Sprague started the Richmond electric railroad in 1887. There has of course been great extension of installation along these lines.
 We have, MT. Leonard says, the best three wire central station plants in the world. Also the best alternating sys- tenn, converting from 1, 900 to 50 volts, but we have practically no other kind of central station to point to. We are operating 800 volt continuous current electric railways at distances for which 2,OOO volts should be used instead of 300, and after investing more money in copper per car than the entire cost of the electrical equipment we still lose twice as much energy as is commercial in the line. In England in alternating systems a three wire secondary is used with 100 volts on each side, and, according to MT. Leonard's view, there was no ex- cuse except patents for 50 volt two wire secondary originally, and none save the inertia and prejudice of large corporation for continuing to put in the two wire secondary today.
 Rotary transformers are used in sev- eral stations in England for a continu- ous current, high potential multiple arc distribution, the secondary being three wire system, and some American inven- tions not patented ill England are found to have been utilized ill central stations there, while they have been neglected i'll the land of their nception.-Provi- dence Journal.

Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, the New Presi-

 Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, the new president of the Grand Trunk railway, is ono of Great Britain's most eminent financicrs. He recently came from Lon don to America to investigate the affairs of that great Canadian thoroughfare with the view of placing the property on q substantial paying basis. For some time, it appears, the affairs of the road have been i'll rather bad way. This is Sir Chl1i.,' second visit to this c0nti- nrut on d mission connected with rail road iiuunciering Ho camc here q year ago as the representative of European stockholders of the Central Pacific rail road, having ill charge tho interests of some $32, 900, 900 belonging to foreign investors ill American securities.
 Until recently Sir Charles Rivers Wilson Was comptroller general of the British national dcbt-an office which he had held since lS13-and had charge of funds amounting to the stupendous total of e240, 900, 900, or about $I. 400,

 In the case of Mary F. Campbell, of Albion, Noble Co.,, Ind, her suffering was so severe, her relief so suddenly real ized, and her gratitude so great, that she wishes the circumstances published, in the hope that others may be benefited thereby. She says:-
 My physician told me had dIopsy and falling of the womb. My stomach and bowels were SO bloated l could not get full breath. My face and han1s were bloated badly. l had that dreadful bearing-down pain, backache, palpitation of the heart, and nervousness.

 knives, and thus obtained a kind of rough chisel for loose hing the bars in the chim- ncy and prying up piece of the flooring. They succeeded in picking hole in the patchwork underneath their floor, where they found clear space of some four feet in which to hide their implements.
 "Our next operation" he continues, twas to unstitch two of my shirts, care fully preserving the threads, and tying or stitching them together we made ladder some 20 feet long which afterward enabled US to move from place to place in the chimney while removing the bars. The execution of this part of the work cost us six months of the most trying and painful labor We were obliged to work in the most uncomfortable and torturing posi- ti)ns, and we had scarcely struck dozen strokes before our hands were covered with blood The bars were fixed in an extreme ly hard cement, on which we could make no impression without tools till we had moistened it with water, and the water had to be carried up ill our mouths. We were satisfied when we removed single Suuare inch of the cement in the course Of a night We were obliged to leave each one in its place after loosening it, not dar- ing to remove them till the last moment for fear that the chimney might be exam incd in the meantime. This completed, we went to work on the wooden ladder by means of which we were to get into the governors garden, which lay on the other side of the ditch, and to mako 1t we set aside the pieces of wood sent to us as fir- ing, using part of an old chandelier, notched with our pockotknives, as a saw. With this and another rude tool made from the ironwork of our table, we cut the wood into smaller pieces, fastening them together with small bits of metal and bolts of wood that served as hinges and screws. Thus we got single pole nearly 20 feet long, through which we put pieces of wood thaR projected about six inches on either side 1t could be folded together and easily put away into our little subterranean workshop.
