The Electrical Engineer.

George B. Lander has written prize essay, published in The Electrical En- gineer, on how to become an electrical engineer It is full of hope and encour- agement for those bright, ambitious lads whose souls long to be in the midst of volts and ohms and dynamos and sparks.
 Mir. Lander supposes tho oase of q youth of IS who is without means to take him through school and who must. besides, earn his living as he goes along He has, say. common school educa- tion, nothing more. Let him first get employment with firm that does wir- ing for electric lighting. In two years he will Do m expert wiroman and will be 20. Then he should hiro himself out in the power house of some electric lighting company, where ho may learn of dynamos, switchboards, arc lamps, meters, connections, etc. Meantime he must be reading and studying in his spare hours elementary works on cleo tricity and must take a solid course in mathematics He should stay with the electric company till ho is 24. learning all he can about everything connected with his business. At the age of 94 it is essential that he take course in 6 sci entific training school. where he must study chemistry and mechanical en- gineering, among other branches O three years course If possible, but two years at the least. After that year or two of actual work in machine shop arc wanted. he still studying books on steam, mechanics and electricity.
 By this time he will be about 2S years old. Let him then spend two years work ing in large electrical manufacturing establishment. At the end of this time he is 80 and entitled to call himself an electrical engineer, and not till then.

Little Bessie Tlu.nenthal Showed the Court
 How She Rade Paper Lanterns.
 Little Bessie Blumenthal, sitting tailor fashion on tho floor of Recorder Goff's s courtroom, made a paper lantern so deftly that tho spectators and the jurors applaudod. Little Bessie's per formanco kept her father out of jail.
 This father, Bernard Blumenthal, has stationery store at 1855 East Eighty third street. There was a fire in the sta tionery store on Sept. 29. When Fire Marshal Mitchell mado his inspection to learn the origin of the fire, he found in the store several small boxes, the covers of which had been removed. Over the boxes were tied pieces of paper and within the boxes were stubs of can dies, burned low. These boxes contain ing candles were evidence of arson, and the fire marshal arrested Blumenthal. The trial began before Recorder Golf and a jury. The marshal told about the ominous boxes that contained the stubs of candles.
 For the defense little Bessie was call ed to the stand The child is 10 years old. Tho recorder would not permit her to be sworn, doubting if she under stands the nature of an oath, but he permitted her to tell the jury what she knew about the fire

 'eHow did you make them?" asked the recorder.
 The child was tangled up in her words. She could not make the jury understand how she made the lanterns.

He is also an obliging young man, of sterling character and ex. amplary habits, courteous in con duct and affable h manner, and justly popular among large circle of warm and admiring friends. MT. Brewster will undoubtedly prove a very strong candidate, and should he be elected he will make the peo- pie a most efficient and accommo- dating officer.

 how she made the lanterns. The record. CT sent for a box that had contained erayon chalk, some paper, a candle and 8 piece of twine.
 The child took this equipment, and first removed the cover of the box. She lighted the candle and placed it inside the box and then tried to fasten the paper over the box with the twine. She was awkward and embarrassed. She could not fit the paper around the box. A juror asked her what gave her SC much trouble

 Sit on the floor here, then, ;" said the recorder.
 Down she jumped, and, sitting on the floor of the courtroom with her lit tlo legs doubled under her, she rapidly folded the paper around the box and fastened it with the string. The jurors stood up to watch the little child mako the lantern. In moment she held ii up for inspection. The light from the candle shone through the paper, making famous lantern.
 Then the spectators applauded, and some of the jurors shouted, She's done u" Tho lantern was exactly like the boxes the marshal had found in the sta tioner's store.
 The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and it is understood that it was the testimony of little Bessie which had most to do with that result. = New York Journal.

The True Function of a News
paper.


 The true function of a newspaper is to get the news and publish it. If it does not get the news and publish it, then it is not aeaes paper. Peo- pie subscribe for a newspaper and read it because it publishes the news. The news is not of a news papers making; it takes it as its re- porters and editors can find it. A newspaper is simply mirror wherein is reflected the events of the day or week. The newspaper is not responsible for these events. It takes them and publishes them as they come. Of course, unpleasant episodes arise in the history of every one, and people are frequently the unwilling subjects Of newspaper no- toriety in connection with events over which they have no control. As long as there are brutal bullies and scamps in the world who obtrude themselves upon innocent and re- spectable people, decent people are subjected to unbecoming and undig- nified treatment, and frequently ac- qulIfie,s, --, a s..le3viabie newspaper notriety. But for these unfortunate events newspaper is not responsi- ble; neither is it censurable for pub fishing the same. It would be, un- true to itself and its constituency and fail in it's true and proper func- tion if it did not publish them.
 The mission of the GRAPHIC is to get the news and publish if, regard. less of persons or parties, and in that mission the GRAPHIC does not intend to fail. It accepts the news and publishes it simply as we find it, at all times endeavoring to give a l true statement of the facts and to do justice to all parties. When that is done it has simfly discharged it's duty to it's clientele; nothing more, nothing less. And for performing that duty-in getting the news and | publishing it in truth and justice to | all the GRAPHIC has no apologies to make, either now or in times to come.

Rich women who presg sImnlr.

It is interesting to note that, almost without exception, the sensible million aire woman dresses with great simplio- ity. 1t Is said that Miss Helen Gould, whom all the world knows could in dulge in Worth costumes at thousands of dollars, has this season disappointed the great Parisian dressmakers because she does not believe in very rich and elaborate attire for young unmarried women and always has her gowns made with great simplicity. Miss Pullman is another young woman who believes in the old fashioned simplicity of our grandmothers.
