MALMAISON CHATEAU.
The Old Resid ence of Napoleon and
Josephine Reclaimed.

Malmaison chateau, once the resi-
dence Of Empress Josephine, has
been purchased, together with some
of the grounds attaching to it, by
NJ. Osiris, a Paris fnancier and
philanthropist, for l32,000f., or
$3.50. Other portions of the
property we're bought by Countess
de Bari and by some nuns, while a
billiard table, supposed to have been
used by the first Napoleon, fell to
an American purchaser for E29.
The pine planted by the emperor
and the peach tree which Josephine
placed in the orchard still exist in
the grounds. The chateau, which
looks like hospital or a barrack, is
In a very dilapidated condition. The
ceilings are full Of holes, the damp
has eaten into the tapestries and
Wallpapers Of the salons and bed
rooms, while IN the chapel the altar
Is half demolished and the sculptured
figures are almost unrecognizable.
Malmaison was bought for the first
consul in 1893, and cost the govern
ment 16O,000f NJ. Osiris, the new
owner, does not intend to prepare
the place for residential purposes,
but he says that if it can be thor
oughly restored he will offer it to
the country as an historic place,
which may also be utilized for some
philanthropic purpose to be decided
upon hereafter. The defenders of
historic landmarks have now gained
victory, as the threatened demoli-
ton of the old residence of Napoleon
and Joserhine has been obviated by
the munifcence Of N. Osiris. Pa
triots may also exult, for the pur-
chaser Of Malmaison had also, it ap-
pears, determined TO acquire, the
place SO as to prevent it from falling
into the hands Of an Englishman.
The shade Of Napoleon will thus be
preserved from coming into con tact
near the historic pine tree with the
substantial figure Of some wealthy
retired citizen Of the so-called shop
keeping nation. PARIS Correspon-
dence London Telegraph.

1t has been proved that the in
candescent electric lamp does not
"smoke" the ceiling, as has been
claimed, but that the smoky effect is
due to dust. The heat Of the lamp
naturally causes a current Of air to
arise, and the consequence IS that
there is moro dust deposited on the
ceiling above the lamp than any
where else.
An embezzler was recently ar
rested and detained In the Mazas
prison, in Paris. When bis case came
up in the criminal court, as he did
not put in an appearance, he was
condemned to ten years imprison-
ment in contumaciam. Some time
after one Of the Mazas jailers hap
pened to ask the man why he was
there. 1t was then found out that
everyone had forgotten that he had
been arrested and could not so to
court. The case was reopened and
the sentence changed to one year.
Meanwhile the man had been six
months in jail without anyone's

LIGHT FOR TRAVELLERS.
Flow he English Railroads Have
Solved the Problem.

Flow he English Railroads Have
Solved thu Problem.
While America~s pride themselves
oh the rapidity with which they rec
ognize and adopt improvements,
England has, until lately, taken q
certain amount Of pride in its surly
T,suspicion of novelties. This feeling,
however, is now in q great measure
giving way to the realization of the
necessity of being up to the times,
and especially in electrical develop
ments. An evidence Of this is seen
in the new system of lighting by cleo
tricity the cars that run between
London and Tilbury, the sailing port
of many of the eastern lines of steam
ers.
The system consisted in providing
each car with a. small dynamo,
placed beneath it and worked direct
ly by a belt passing over the axle.
When in motion the car supplies
sufficient power to drive the
dynamo, and at the same time to
store electric energy in an accumu-
lator ready to supply light when the
train is standing. 1t would natural
ly seem that at a higher rate Of
speed an excess Of current would be
generated, and the opposite result
would follow when the train went
slowly.
This difficulty was overcome by an
ingenious arrangement which So
cured a practically uniform velocity
for the dynamo at whatever rate the
car was travelling, The trial was
successful. Each compartment was
fitted with two high-caadlc-powor
incandescent lamps, which give a
clear, steady light, sufficient for all
purposes. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

MODERN GREEK.
It's First Recognition in the Univer.

It's First Recognition in the Univer-
Stiles Of England.
The advisability of introducing in
to the universities the study of
modern Greek, both as the most
widely used of modern languages in
Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, Syria
and Egypt, and as accessory to the
more thorough comprehension of
ancient Greek literature in its diff
forent phases, has been mooted on
several occasions during the last
few years, but with indifferent sue
cess. The marquis Of Butte has been
known as one of the most Jealous
and most consistent advocates OF
the proposal. 1t is now due to his
efforts and to his generosity that
the University of st, Andrews has
just recognized modern Greek as a
modern language in the arts curri-
culum, and has decreed the appoint
meut of a lecturer, whose salary the
marquis of Butte has undertaken to
lefray. Mr.. A. N, Jann&ris has
been appointed to the post. Mr..
