In A. d. "a, @ of the ii municipal
districts of Rome were destroyed by a
contlagratiou instigattd, it is said, by
the Emperor Nero. The number of lives
lost is known to amount up into the
hundreds, but the value of the property
destroyed cannot even be estimated. BY
the emperor's command, thousands OF
Romans rendered homeless and desti.
tute were employed in removing the dc.
bris and rebuilding the burned city.
Nero, to divert the odium of the crime
from himself, charged it upon the
Christians, and thus began one of the
greatest prosecutions i'll the history Of
the early Christian church.

of having originated II process for the
successful qualification of petroleum
for commercial and industrial purposes

Lighthouse Lights.

In a series Of papers contributed to
Engineering by Du Richie Preller on
lighthouses i'll Europe the remarkable
statement is made that the luminous
range of a light of 800, 600 candle pow
er in the Mediterranean (44 miles) is
equal to that of 5000, 600 candles in the
channel-equal to ratio of one to ten
hence, it is added, that, with the cxcep-
ton OF the electric flashing light of
Planter, near Marseilles, of 600, 900
candle power, the most powerful min
eral Oil lights recently installed on the
French, Corsican, Algerian and Tunis-
ian coasts Of the Mediterranean do not
exceed 35, 600 candle power, having a
luminous range of about 80 miles in av-
erage weather. On the other hand, in
the channel and in the bay Of Biscay
the largest mineral oil lights have lu-
mlnous powers up to about 900 600,
and tho electric lighting flash lights up
to %, 500,0 and 81, 800, 600 candles.
Further, the maximum light of French
lighthouse towers-that is, the height of
the focus above ground-varies from
about 90 to 70 meters, but some towers
are, of course, on very elevated posi-
tons, so that, taking the height of the
focus above the sea level, the highest
light, that Of Cape Brearn, is 751 feet
above the high water sea level, while
its luminous power is 6, 600 candles and
its luminous range 20 miles. This light
is an oil light, and the geographical
range, or direct visibility of such lights
on high elevations is usually i'll excess
Of their luminous range, the reverse of
this, however, being commonly the case
with electric coast lights.

The results of some valuable expert
ments on the fabrication of machinery
bearings have been set forth by Mr..
Dewrance in an address before the Civil
Engineers institute, London. His OBJ.
servations show that olive oil becomes
black and thick after passing through
the bearings several times. This oil,
after filtration, was composed of 16 per
cent of olcate of lead 9,57 per cent of
oleate of acid and 74.G3 per cent of
olive oil and glycerin, the oleate acid
in the olive oil appearing to attack
lead, zinc and copper with great activi-
ty. Thus disks of metals used in the
manufacture of bearings were immersed
in oleate acid, occasionally drawn up
out of the acid SO as to be exposed to
the air Lead and zinc rapidly corroded
away, copper was Corr0ded to Il less ex-
tent, while tin and antimony We're not
appreciably affected. In regard to the
compressibility of alloys it is suggested
by this authority that no alloy be used
until it is satisfactorily demonstrated
that its point of first yield is consider
ably above the greatest load or shock to
which it will be subjected i'll use In

ings when the shaft sustained u heavy

Bonnin Pasha, the chief of the sui

set Frenchman. In 1884 he went to
Constantinoplo as detective with the
French ambassador. Abdul Hamid took
a fancy to him and desired him to or
ganizo detective force for service about
the palace. A corps of bludgeon men
was tho result, and their tactics much

the instrument is generally held i'll the

the right hand is often used in taking
notes, etc, In the cases observed tho
subjects heard the slightest sound
through the telephone with their left

One of Tic drOllest instances of the
monkeys keenness of observation and
power Of minicry that we have met
with is the following: A retired admit
raj ana his wife living at Chaltenham
had favorite monkey. One day the
lady, hearing Il strange noise in the
dining room, looked in to see what it
was. The sight whiah met her eyes was
ludlcroGs one Seated in the arm
char, with the aQmiral's smoking cap
on his head and the admiral ; srcctu-
Giles on his nose, was the monkey, and
III his hand was the open newspaper,
which he shook and patted, while he
Jabbered and gesticulatcd with great
| emphasis at the cat, which lay blinking
on the hearth rug. 1t was clever and
carefully studied imitation Of the testy
old admiral's tone and manner when
reading to his wife some passage from
the newspaper which excited his wrath
or indignation.
1t is strange that so little attempt is
made to utilize this strong initiative
faculty in monkeys. They might easily
be trained to perform as athletes and
acrobats. Some 90 years ago an italian
count, who had villa on the shore of
Lake Albano, kept monkey which he
had taught both to row and sail small
skiff. The monkey used to navigate this
tiny craft with great skill, but unfor-
tunately one day, when climbing the
mast, he capsizcd the boat and was
drowned. AS Jockeys, MONKEYS might
surely be made useful and would fulfil
every purpose for which the manikins
who ride on race horses are artificially
stunted and sweated. Chambers Jour.

The best Of the English drinking songs
were written by the dramatists of tho
seventeenth century, men who trolled
swoctly together in flowing verse; with
out tho smallest thought or fear of
shocking anybody. Frankly INDIGENOUS,
they invite The whole wide world to
drink with thcm, to empty the brim.
ming tankard passed from hand to hand
and to reel homo through the frosty
streets, where tho Waterman grins at
their unsteady steps, and quiet sleepers.
awakened from dull dreams, echo with
drowsy sympathy the last swelling ca
dence of their uproarious song. Where
there is no public sentiment to defy
even bacchanalian rioters and baccha-
nalian verses cease to be defiant. What
admirable good temper and sincerity Ill
Flotchcr's generous importantly!
Drink today and drown all sorrow;
You shall perhaps not do 1t tomorrow.
Best, while you have It, use your breath:
There Is no drinking after death.
Then let nv swil, boys. for our health.
Who drinks well loves the commonwealth,
And he that will to bed go sober
Falls with tho leaf, stll in October.
Upon this song successive changes
have been sung, until now it's variations
are bewildering, and to it wo owe the
over popular and utterly indefcnsible
CLEO roarcd out for generations by many
u lusty tavern chorus:
He who goes TO bod and goes to bed sober
Falls IA the leaves do and dies In October,
But no who goes to bed and goes to bed mellow
