In the center of this grotto has been
placed a curious construction which is
called the Cave of the Winds" 1t is an
ingenious adaptation of the principle en-
bodied in what is known among electri-
clans as the "D'Arsonval cage" which
is structure of wire let down over an
acknowledgements patient, and so connect
ed 70 a static machine that the currents
lmpinge upon the surface of the body
from all directions
In the present case the cage, instead
of standing vertically, has. so to speak
been turned over on its side Through
the center of the barrel thus formed a
pathway runs, and in the artificial rock
walls are concealed the plates or wire
network to which is conveyed current
from an adjoining static machine. As
the people pass through, the effect of
the current Is exactly like that of a wind
blowing upon them from every quarter
at once, yet without any apparent effect
except such as is caused upon the skin.
The near approach of the knuckle or
hhger to the walls will elicit a singing
spark but otherwise the modus operandi
remains a secret TO the majority of those
who pass through

In the department of lighting in the cleo

scend some thirty or forty clusters OF
frosted incandescent' lamps, about midway
between the ceiling and the floor, giving

WORK AT PEACE CONFERENCE.


OF the exaggerated advantage of wealth 4"
pointing out that even mil.onaires could
not eat more than one dinner a day. wear
one suit OF clothes or ride more than one
morse al 'he same tine adding that the
only superiority that they possessed over
the poor was being able to command the
best medical advice and a change of eli
mate, and pointing out. however that hos
pitais for the poor had lessened even this
superiority These utterances brought
forth crop of sarcastic comments on the
line of pity for poor miiionaiTes.
The Daily News says: THE speech
leaves only one course open to a man
holding those convictions-to sell all he
has and give to The poor. But Lord Rose
berry, We are confident, will never adopt
such a harsh measure. He has 100 mucn
feeling for the poor"
His Speech Criticised.
The Saturday Review speaks straight
out, saying; From Lord Rose bery's lips,
this kind of morallzlng is downright adul-
terated can't"
Mr.. Morley criticising Lord Rosebery' 5
position in the party, made a happy cpl
gram, clubbing his lordship a dark horse
in loose box" which is regarded as be-
ing a peculiarly apt description of Lord
Rosebery's present position.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach says he finds
in office "weariness of political life" and,
speaking al Bristol, he expressed prefer
ence for "a live opposition" making the
novel suggestion that if the next opposi-
ton does not win the next general cleo
ton, the Conservatives ought TO play
their second team"

MoRRIsvlLLE.

The work of repairing the old SAT-
ford mill propert, is progressing as
rapidly as the nature OF the work will
warrant, the deepening of the wheel
pit being slow, as solid rock has to
be blasted out. a job that will con-
sumo some three weeks yet to com
plete. The old hume has been torn
out, and also section of the dam
near the island, to turn the course Of
the river, in order toput in the new
flume. A large amount of work has
been done in the basement of the
mill building in the way of putting in
iron supports to sustain the su 1er
structure. Like everything else H.
A. SaytOn has undertaken, this
work bears every "rarmark" OF
thoroughness, and when completed a
model mill will be the result, a credit
to the owner as wellas to Morrisville.
