1sTiTUTE FOR CARBON.
An important step in Electric Light
ing made ia Germany.


An important step in electric lighting is
made known to the State Department in
report from United States Consul General
Mason at Berlin. He states that a young
German professor after . long course Of
experimenting, has managed TO find sub
stitute for the carbon hlament used in the
ordinary bulb light, in the shape of d rod
composed OF rare infusible earthy oxides
similar in composition 10 those used in
making mantles for lucandescent gas lights.
This rod has the advantage of requiring
less than 30 Per cents of the current de-
manded by the carbon ilament, and, be-
sides, it affords a perfect light, free from
the faults Of all other artificial lights and
Of great Ealue in photography. There are
some serious drawbacks, however. to the
general Use of the system at present. all
OF which, with the advantages ON the other
hand, are set out by Mr.. Mason in his re-
port.

The Value of Accuracy.

In the annual report of the National Edu-
cational Association there is a brief dis
cussion of the advantages of the old
fashioned method of teaching languages
as against the natural method. 1t will
be remembered by all who studied French
or German a generation ago that the proc
ess Of learning these languages closely
resembled that of learning Latin or Greek
The student of French was provided with
grammar and reader" He was made to
learn the rules of the language one by one,
and commit to memory lists of words. He
was required TO translate lessons from the
reader and give his reasons for any
doubtful construction. In short, the study
was made as nearly an exact science as
live language can be. II the student had
a natural love for foreign tongues he alb
sorbed the whole thing, grammar, parsing,
vocabulary, and the intangible peculfarities
of the language, without knowing exactly
how II he had a parrot-like memory he
was fluent in reciting from the grammar.
but his translations were bungling. II he
was one of those unhappy mortals who
cannot learn by rote, the business was
misery TO him from beginning to end,
though II he had been turned loose in
French library, with dictionary, he might
have learned to read the language easily,
and IL he had been thrown with French
family for a year or two, he would have
spoken II correctly.
In the natural method, or the other
hand. the lessons are conducted in what
ever language is to be taught; the pupil 8
time is spent in acquiring the accent and
learning words, whether he can use them
correctly or not: and in due time he is
introduced to the mysteries OF the gram
mar. 1t is argued that this Is the way in
which child learns to talk. and 1t is
therefore the best for the adult. On the
other hand, the advocates OF the old
fashioned method say that there is strik-
ing indefini,eness about knowledge acqur-
ed In this way, and that though the pupil
may chatter very glibly he makes a mis-
take in nearly every sentence.
There is something in each Of these ar
| guments. and doubtless the best method
would be that which should combine the
| advantages Of the oldfashioned grammar
| ana the natural Systeui. bul tHeEe IL
I! one point made in this discussion which
should not be overlooked, for it is of i'm
portanee In other things besides the study
of language. 1t is that accuracy is one OF
the most important things in life. Many
of the new educational methods train the
child to get general idea of a great
many things without knowing much about
anything. The advantage of the old gram

A Young Heathen.

An interesting state of things is reported
from a small town in northwestern Ala
bama- A small boy-ffteen years old and

slashing them with knife When arrested
he said that man under whose influence
he seems to have been had hired him to do
this thing for twenty dollars, and had
threatened to kill him if 1t was not done.
When the boy was asked II he had ever
heard of God he said that he did not
know what God was. He could neither
read nor write, and the place in which he
lived Is remote from telegraph or tele-
phone connections. After the crime was
committed he went to work in mill. and
warned the other employees that he was "a
good hand with the knife, and they must
not fool with him.
This is not a case in which degeneracy
can be alleged, unless 1t is the degeneracy
of the general class to which the boy be-
longs. He is perfectly rational and sane
boy, SO far as his limited knowledge goes.
but his ideas are very limited indeed. He
seems to have no particular remorse for
his crime, and his only concern on the
subject seems to be the fear of being pun
ished. II is simply case of lamentable,
sluggish, hereditary ignorance.
There are communities OF .'squatters'

Steam stiII King.

-,. tFrom the, New Orleans states)
Several years ago when the first successful ex-
periments were made with electricity as a motive
power quite number of scientific men predicted
that 1t would supercede steam as the king of
motors before the end of the century. 1t was as
serted with much confidence that electricity
would be employed to move cars over all lines
Of railway and the steam locomotives would be-
come as obsolete as the old-fashioned stage
coaches. 1t will be remembered that lines OF cleo
trio railway were projected 10 connect New
York, Boston. Philadelphia, Washington, and
Baltimore and there was much talk about the
lightning-like rapidity with which trains would
transport passengers from one city to another 1t
was said at the time that an electric train would
run 100 miles in hour with perfect ease and
could be made to exceed that speed. Expert
mental tracks laid at various localities where
electricians endeavored to explain the correct
of their theories, but the tracks have disap-
peared and the power houses have been dis
mantied.
