Electric lightning.

Judge Joseph Blufingham, Of the
United States District Court, has in
his possession paper which proves
that an American as early as 1945 had
solved the problem Of electric lighting,
but because he could not obtain spe-
cial Act protecting him in his discov-
cry, he took the details to his eternal
rest with him, leaving it for the sue
ceeding generation to wrestle with the
problem. The paper is also interest.
ing in showing that previous to l845
an attempt was made to light the
streets of Paris by electricity, and it
fail 1 because of one thing, which is
not stated, but which the inventor
knew all about, says the Pittsburg
Post.
The paper was discovered by Judge
Burlington several years ago, among
some old family papers. At his home
in kittanning there had accumulated
the papers and correspondence Of sew
eral generations of the Burlington
family. To straighten them :out,
throwing away the worthless and to
preserve the valuable and curious, was
an interesting job, to which the Court
had determined to devote sufficient
time Among the old papers was one
that appeared to be petition. On
examining closely the Judge was al
most startled by the singularity OF his
find. The petition was addressed to
the Government, setting forth that a
wonderful and valuable discovery had
been made by man in Armstrong
County, who had neglected to make it
known until it was too late for him to
secure himself the benefit of his work.
He could, ofucourse, obtained patent
right, but he wanted a special Act,
giving him the monopoly of the field
in the line of his invention. 1t was
set out that by his discovery, great
buildings, and, what was more wonder
full, the streets of a city, could be
lighted by electricity, and all that was
necessary after the plant was built
under his direction was to press but
ton and the city or building would be
instantly Illuminated. He Lad discov-
cred the only thing that made an at.
tempt to light the streets of Paris a
failure.
There seems to be no doubt in the
minds of everybody who has seen the
paper but that the man really made
the discovery. The petition was
signed by large number of promi-
ncnt business men in Western Penn
sylvania. The petition had no effect,
and the lighting of streets by elec-
tricity was delayed thirty years.

Easy Cure for Headache.

"An excellent and nevcr-failing cure
for nervous headache, said an apostle
of physical culture, is the simple act
of walking backward. Just try it
some time if you have any doubt
about it. I have yet to meet the per-
son who didn't acknowledge it's effica-
cy after trial. Nobody has as yet
discovered or formulated a reason why
such process should bring such GER
tain results. Physicians say that it
is probably because the reflex action
of the body brings about reflex ac-
tion of the brain, and thus drives
away the pain that when induced by
nervousness is the result of too much
going forward. Don't you know how
at such times you have the feeling that
every thing in your head is being
pushed forward? AS soon as you be-
gin to walk backward, however. there
comes feeling of everything being
reversed, and this is followed by re-
lief. The relief is always certain, and
generally speedy. Ten minutes is the
longest 1 have ever found necessary.
An entry or long, narrow room makes
the best place for such promenade.
You should walk very slowly, letting
the ball of the foot touch the floor
floor first, and then the heel-just the
way, in fact, that one should in the
ory walk forward, but which in prac-
tice is so rarely done. New York

A Cheraw Air Ship.

CHsRAw, S. c., Dec. 6.-The publ

The inventor asserts that he would

A comparison with the claims made
with the rival shows that the carrying
capacity Of the Cheraw thip is greater
and capable Of much larger freight

that he will carry out his idea and
soon have a ship constructed to de-
monstrate all that he claims fort. 81

SOME NOTED FOREIGNER

that was to visit this country (going back in history for an example, it may have been Lafayette coming back again to America to receive the heartfelt de- votion of a nation that he had helped found and save). Before his coming the affording the French hero royal recep. tion; grand processions were to move l; military salutes were to be fired; and there was some friendly discussion as to guished guest first and which cities should have him at all, for there was some question how all the honor which the Nation wished to pay could be paid Lafayette and still his physical endur- ance not be overtaxed. And yet when this royal guest did come to our shores, think of no delegation being at the port to meet him, of no one seeming to mo- tice him, of his wandering without es- cort from city to city and finally going back to his native land, heart broken, sick and disappointed man.
 There is nothing stranger in these ex- amples than is found in the thought of my text. It was not mere matter of crowding Jesus out of the inn, it was matter of crowding Him out everywhere. This little incident of Jesus birth seems prophetic of His whole life. "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not" He came unto His own, but His own did not want Him. Jesus tcame to be Saviour of the world, but the world did not want to be saved. There was no place for Him here, no home for Him here, no warm-heartedness toward Him here, no sympathy for Him here. I have often read the last verse of the seventh chapter of John (and have al- most read it with tears): "And every man went unto his own house." This was just after there had been a wran. gling concerning Jesus, after conflicting opinions had been expressed about Him-ssevery man went unto his own house." and "Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives" (so the opening verse of the eight chapter reads, there is no break in the sense as the division into chapters indicates.) Thus it was all through Jesus life: men were continually going from Him, going their way, going every man unto his own house; and Jesus was continually being left to go unto the Mount of Olives, to go His way alone, alone with

i Why, we would not say that we were children, our wives, ourselves. These
 we are working for, these are chief in
 our mind; we must think of them, if we think at all. And yet Jesus is above all these, before all these: our homes will crumble, all earthly ties be dissolved ; but we must meet Jesus face-to-f face. If we make no room for Him in our thoughts here, there will come time
 when we must make room.
 And how much joy is there if we bring Jesus into our home and admit
 Him through the door of our hearts
 I have quoted from the first verse of the eighth chapter of John, "And Jesus went
 unto the Mount of Olives" That was
 often His direction, for beyond the
 Mount of Olives He had His home.
 Some months ago I visited this spot
 Bethany. I had anticipated with great delight my visit here, for it seemed to me the spot where I could best think of the quiet life of the Lord. But Bethany to-day is miserably disappointing
 place; it is, I suppose, the dirtiest spot on earth where human beings dwell. AS stood before the reputed house of Mary and Martha, my thoughts did not stay there; they flew back through the centuries to the scenes of other days. Once again saw my Saviour at night tall coming over the brow of Olivet to this quiet home to rest, tired with the days wranglings and disputings in the great Temple at Jerusalem, And then 1 saw another scene,

'Gos call Je- sus,' said the sisters, flor He will not let Lazarus die." Away sped the messenger; but Jesus, on hearing the news, tarried too long and Lazarus dies. He is buried in the small village graveyard. Martha, ever on the alert, hears of Jesus coming and TuuS bU bOCO 41iHas AhSN AeSSD been here, my brother had not died" she passionately exclaims as she beholds her Lord. ssGo, call thy sister Mary" said Jesus. I saw once again Jesus take with Him the two sisters, trembling and with no full faith that their Lord could raise again to life him who had already lain four days in the tomb. heard once again that ttr2ng voice ex- claim, ssLaza1us, come ferth, 2 and saw Lazarus appear bound hand and foot with the wrappings of the dead. And saw Jesus gather in the humble hone with sthe reunited family, saw the clouds of sorrow break away and the glad sunshine of joy stre. m forth, and I thought oh, what delight there is when we bring Jesus into our homes. Oh. the joy, when we make room for Jesus and when we take Him in! How 1t tran forms everything The walls are no longer bare, the lights no longer dim, sacrifices grow into pleasures, hard- 1
