TINT Theodore was about to speak and
not willing that he should yet have
the opportunity, fearing he was about
to. demonstrate the viscount, by q
gesture, checked the words which had
risen to the young mans lips, and then
himself proceeded:
e"I know what you would say, Theo-
! dOre," speaking now with hypocriti-
cal sadness. "Oh, do not think that I
have forgotten our engagements with
the Ashdown family; but It Is not vet
too late to annul those engagements-.

viscount hastily continued: land with

The viscOunt was then about to en-

fact, that the marriage to which The0-
dore had now consented might I've
speedily accomplished, but was pre-
vented by one Of his domestics, who
came to say that u lady was in the
mansion who requested to be allowed
q few words with Its muster. 1
The viscount readily imagined who
was that lady, but nevertheless de-
manded her name; indeed as will be
seen. he had purpose to answer In
causing 1t now to be pronounced.
And to the viscount's question the
servant answered that the lady's name
was Chesterton-Mrs. Chesterton.

The servant was ordered to return
to Mrs. Chesterton and to say that the
viscOunt would be with her immedi-

And then. speech having returned
to Theodore, he exclaimed:
Before you quit me, father, 1t is
necessary that you should"
"Yes, understand" interrupted the
viscount, and speaking quickly, that

And contented smile illumined the
viscount's dark and still handsome
features.
Again was Theodore rendered dumb
and motionless.
But his agitation was not perceived
by the viscOunt, who, while proceed
ing to quit the room, continued:
Eyes, she whom have chosen for

she was as though she had been sud-

In It was written the deposition which

Her eyes, too, were fixed and glaring

She had arrived In time fully and

Although 1t has been clearly demon
strated that electrocution kills q man,
an electrical journal urges the impor-
lance Of having prompt resource to ar
tiicial respiration In cases where
workmen or others have accidentally
undergone heavy shock. In oil prop
erly appointed central stations inRtruc-
ton cards detailing the method to be
followed are hung up In a conspicuous
place, and the treatment must be perse-
vered in, II necessary, for not less than
two hours. 1t il suggested that not
sufficient attention has been paid to
the prevention Of such Academia.
More protection might be given to
workmen by the adoption of few
precautions so far neglected. An OBJ.
vious method is to insulate them from
the ground. and DIR. n. Lewis Jones
proposes that this shONld be done by
covering the floors OF all high-pres-
sure stations with q thick layer Of a..
phalt, or with insulated platforms of
considerable extent, and by covering
the walls, as far as possible, with q
non-conducting lining of wood, the
insulating resistance Of which might
I've increased, by iMpresrating 1t with
paraffine wax. or tar or varnish. The
point to be gained, would be to make
1t impossible for workmsn to touch
any high potential conductor or ma
chine. except when he stands upon q
non-conducting surface, nor should he
be able to touch at the same time any
part of the building. which Is in cleo
trical connection with the earth. The
danger to workmen employed on the
street mains, is, of course, best avoid
ed by permitting no work to be done
upon them until they have been cut
out of circuit, but In any case, the use
of rubber boots has been proposed "a
a better protection than the rubber
glove. II the use Of both rubber boots
and gloves were insisted upon, the
risk would he greatly decreased.

Electric Lighting ZOE VeFFAsS0
A new filament Is being made spec
ially for electric carriage lamps, which
are now much used In Europe. In
Paris, especially, carriage builders are
waking up to the advantages ana Drii.
liant effects of carriage lighting, and
lamps Of improved construction Tor
this purpose ore being placed on the
market. A great stimulus to the IN
dustry has been given by the fashion
get by the Prince ct Wales and the
Emperor Of Germany Of lighting both
the inside and the outside OF their car
riages Ivy means Of electric lamps.
The statement that the Prince OF
Wales was the first to adopt this sys-
TEN In London has been questioned
In letter from q London electrician
to an American electrical Journal.
The writer says: II had the honor OF
lighting the lord mayors carriage for
Mr.. Alderman Knight, the then lord
mayor of London, as far back as 1883,
which claim to be the first carriage
ever lighted in England by electricity.
The methods adopted were very much
the same as those now In vogue. The
antediluvian equipage known In Lon
don us ''the Lord Mayors carriage"
was lit by placing under the coach
mans seat a small "eight-cell, twen-
ty ampere-hour" storage battery,
which served to light three sixteen
volt low-resistance" glow lamps, two
In the lanterns as side lights, and one
in frosted globe, Enclosed in n sill
vcr-plated fiuted reflector, which dis
tributed the light evenly throughout
the carriage. AS showing how sin
gle firm may sometimes be instrument
tal in stopping the waysof progress Of
whole nation, It ia mentioned that
although until recently there was a
difficulty in getting storage batteries
rechargetl ut a moderate price, the
great drawback to the advancement
OF carriage electric lighting In England
for many years has been the attitude
of the holders of the Faure battery
patents. who would neither do that
class of business themselves nor al
low others to do 1t. AS the Faure pat
ents have now expired, and many
charging stations have sprung up I'LL
over the country, the electric light
will doubtless soon bc MS common In
carriages 0S 1t ia in houses.
