Acetylene for Street Lighting.

The City Of Wabash, Ind, is soon
to be lighted by an acetylene gas
plant, now being installed by the Lo-
gansport and Wabash Valley Gas Com
pany, otherwise known as the DIETRICH
Syndicate, says the Railways Review.
The machinery and materials are now
on the ground and the city authorities
inform US that the street lights will
probably be in operation shortly. The
city has heretofore been lighted by ar
Stificial gas, in the usual way. and the
substitution Of acetylene for street
lighting IS an experiment which has
been bit little tried.

come. He was educated at Georgetown
college.
1t was when Blaine called together
that notable assemblage from North,
South and Central America, known as
the International American congress,
that Ferguson first made his appear
ance as an official Interpreter. Mr..
Blalne's right hand nan on that par
ticular occasion was William e. Cur
els, who, in looking around for trans
tators and Interpreters, recalled that
young Ferguson had spent his early
life in a Spanish-American country,
II was doubtless fitted for this par
tlcular work. Ferguson undertook the
task, and he made his bow as official
interpreter by taking the memorable
speech of James G. Blaine, greeting the
South and Central Americans, and
rendering it into Spanish. 1t was no
easy task, for Blaine spoke rapidly and
with that wealth of fgurative speech
which always marked his discourse.
But Ferguson did it not only rapidly
and well, but with felicity Of express
oioA, ouSl ulCc SlldulIS VI Injuries ana
metaphors that it drew the enthusiasts
tic applause of those Spanish auditors.
1t was such that when Blaine turned
from the reading he remarked to some
state department officials:
Il don't know whether that was my
triumph or Ferguson's."
At all events Ferguson made his
reputation then and there as an inter
prefer, who could not only give the
letter of the speech, but could convey
its spirit, even it's accent and its modu-
lations by which the speaker sought to
impress one or the other feature upon
his hearers. Since then he has acted
as interpreter in many notable gath
erings. He is a man of splendid ply
sique, six feet three inches in height,
broad shouldered and robust, weighing
probably $50 pounds.

we have been woefully humdrum and
such a thing as q craze or fad, foolish
Or otherwise, has been practically I'M
known. Neither the girls nor the
gllded youth, nor the young matrOns
have shown any disposition to

when there is, happily, an indi-
cation that wits are at work. In the

much ingenuity.
Queen Victoria has recently pre-
scented to the British museum an auto
graph letter written by the prince con-
sort to the late Earl of Shaftesbury
thanking him for a copy Of the bible
in Chinese prepared for the London
Missionary society, and known as the
delegates version, published at Shang-
hal and Hong-Nong, in 1855. The let
ter is dated "Buckingham palace,
April IS, 1885, and is couched in the
following words: My Dear Lord
Shaftesbury: I beg to return you my
best thanks for the copy of the bible in
Chinese, which has been the result Of
pious energy and perseverance of the
London Missionary society. 1t will ma
terially aid the spread of Christianity
in that wonderful populous empire.
Ever yours truly. Albert" 1t was, it
is understood, the queens wish that
this letter should be preserved in the
department of manuscripts in the Brit
ish museum. The trustees have de-
cided, in order that the public may
have an opportunity of obtaining a
facsimile copy, that the letter shall lie
included in the fourth series of fac
SMILES of autographs in the British
museum, which is on the point Of be-
ing issued.

Danger in the House Broom.

While 40 many scientists have de
voted their lives to the study of bac-
terra and the most effectual method Of
exterminating them, it is considered
surprising that so Little has been writ
ten upon the dangers that lurk in
everyday household articles.
The Scientific American has an ar
ticle entitled 1.-The Broom Ordinarily
is a Fertile Breeding Place for Bac-
teria," which says: 1T is not gener-
ally known that the ordinary house
broom is the habitation or breeding
place for great colonies of bacteria
and unsanitary germs. The grip, as
we'll as smallpox and scarlet fever, has
been directly traced to the everyday
broom. That home bacteriology'
may become a study with the ladies
is q hope expressed by the British
Medical Journal, in commenting upon
a course of bacteriology given by a
physician OF Konlgsberg, in which is
recommended the maintenance OF the
strictest sanitary and hygienic condi-
tions. Bacteria, according to the
Microscope, may thrive even in melt
ing ice, and putrefactive bacteria,
once gaining access to the household
refrigerator, breed and contaminate
butter, milk, meat and other foods
kent therein"
