crew had pulled up from the slip dock
to get orders to the Junction, and they

Combination Lamp-Post.

"A lamp-post has been introduced in
England which combines a fire hy-
drant, tap and fire alarm box. The
hydrant can be used for fire purposes,
filing watercarts and for street flush
ing, while the small tap can be used
by an individual for domestic water
supply. There is a water meter and
siphon at the bottom by which the
water is~shut off from the hydrant,
thus preventing it from freezing.

Contrasts NJ the Paris Exposition.

Nothing is more curious at the Paris
Exhibition than certain unexpected
contrasts. Where, for instance, says
the Westminster Gazette. should we
look for taste and artistic feeling, if
not in the italian section, and where
for naivette and perhaps crudencss if
not in the pavilions of Norway and
Sweden? The exact contrary is the
case. Whilst nothing can exceed the
horidness and even vulgarity Of Italian
decorative art at the present time, we
find in Northern regions the utmost
delicacy and refinement.
