PROPULSION OF LIGHT.
More Than Three Hundred Thousand
Lamps at Pan-American.

More Than Three Hundred Thousand
Lamps at Pan-American.
1t has been said that the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition will be Rainbow
City by day and City Of Light by night,
and if this be true it should prove the
most beautiful sight of its kind ever
created for the delectation of the hui
man vision.
Much has been written about the illu-
limitations of the Exposition, but the
public is scarcely aware of the mag
nificence of the scene which is to be
created by the use OF incandescent
lights in such generous profusion about
the main court of the Exposition and
the buildings Immediately surrounding
it. When one says that 100000 of
these lights are to be used, the figures
look large, but they are nevertheless
true. Nor does this include all the
lights that are to be used in the general
illumination of the Exposition, for on
the Midway several concessions, such
as the Thompson Aeric Cycle, Streets
of Mexico and some others will use as
many as 1000 lights each. In the
buildings and about the border Of the
grounds will be arc lights, while incan-
descent lamps will also be used by
many individual exhibitors. Thus the
figures 100000 will be considerably in
creased. The illumination Of the Elec-
trio Tower Is going to be not only as
tonishing and novel. but truly artistic.

the fresh air in, the other. the King
system, draws the foul air out. As
Mr.. Converse prefers the latter, that
is the system he will demonstrate at
the Exposition.
It consists of an air stack with a
hood, the opening of which is turned
away from the direction from which the
wind is blowing. To this main air pipe
are attached feeders from different
parts of the stable. These feeders have
slide openings to admit and carry off
the foul air from near the floor at the
sides Of the stable. Fresh air is adj
mitted through a central opening in the
roof.
AS the draft that is created by the
hooded stack is sufficient to draw the
bottom air from the stable, fresh air
must go down through the central
opening to take its place. and change
of air is a certainty. To prevent the
intake from striking the animals too
strong shield is placed under the
opening which assists in directing the
flow of fresh air along the ceiling. In
this manner 1t mixes with the warm
air that naturally rises in the center
of the stable, and all is intermingled
and diffused.
With good stable well ventilated
and good feed intelligently fed the
winter care of stock should be profit
able as well as pleasant.
Epidemlcs have no bad effects on
such stock. and visit from the board
of health has no unpleasant conse-
quences for the owner.

HOME RULE.

Home rule all around is suggested in London dispatch as an idea float ing through MT Joseph Chamberlain'S mind when he contemplates disso- luton of parliament as soon as p0ssi- ble. The time suggested is that when the South African war shall have end ed by the acceptance of Lord Kitchen CTS surrender proclamation, although it does not seem so certain to all that this will come at or even near the time set. However this may be, the correspondent is disposed to believe that MT Chamberlain thinks the Tory party is stale and would be toned up by a general election if this came close OH settlement in South Africa. He is also disposed to believe that MT Chamberlain might find in such an election the most taking opportunity to revise and recast his provincial councils idea of Parnelrs day" Thus he thinks the colonial secretary might succeed at one stroke in "diverting the Irishmen from that excessive attention to parliamentary duties, which has brought the house of commons to paralysis, giving Scotchmen and Welshmen the long -asked-for local self government, relieving the com mons from petty provincial business, and bY opening way for represent atives from Canada, Australia and South Africa, give start to the fed eralization of the British empire"
 It is much easier to grant Ireland what she ought to have, if the grant is made to the colonies at the same time, in fact it is almost the only practicable way for the present or for some time to come, considering the muddle into which the subject has been brought, and the nature of the feeling which has developed on each side There would be a bitter irony of fate if home rule should come to Ireland at last merely to save the Tory party in England or save :he face of Mir Joseph Chamberlain.
 That there must ultimately be some system for the colonies that is uni form and makes them more strictly integral parts of the empire may probably be taken for granted; it may come sooner than most people have supposed, and if it carries with it fuller control by. Ireland of her own affairs, who can find fault? The stoutest supporters of the old way must realize that it has failed so con spicuouslys that it ought to be buried out of sight. They can see this if. they hold as firmly as ever to their traditional theory of the case. But, if this is true, the question of the coming of home rule is merely one of time and manner, and even they might as well see it early as late.- Hartford Times.

CASE FOR WHIPPING POST.

In Delaware the whipping post has proved efficacious and economic. Criminals are deterred from commit ting offenses, and when they do com init them shorter terms of imprisOn- ment accompany whippings; the bur- den upon the community is frightened, and the jails, which are public schools Of crime, are kept reasonably clear of dangerous, hardened criminals. Much has been heard of Jersey justice" which is prompt and relentless, but tFa defenders of the whipping post maintain that Delaware justice is even superior, as it not only swiftly pun ,ishes criminals, but more effectually prevents crime by warning with a loud voice and ruling with a strong arm.' The efficiency of Delaware's system may be shown from her court records, and the only question is whether the price paid for the result is too high. The advocates of corporal nunishment contend that the wave of humanitarian sentiment has degen- erated into weak sentimentality- Not only has vindictiyeness in punishment been abolished, but the extreme sensi- bilities of philanthropic, well meaning men and women have caused us to lose sight of the very objects of retrl4 butive justice. "Let me remember, the great English judge, Sir Matthew Hale was wont to say, when l find myself inclined to pity criminal, that there is likewise a pity due to the country.'' The advocates of the whip ping post believe that penologists have forgotten the community and have their objects centered wholly upon the desire to sscure' the criminal.

He would rather have 10 cents. He be- came rather abusive and Dr DeLiguori told him if he did not leave the house at once he would have him arrested. The tramp did. Dr DeLiguorf thinks that a police officer should be on duty on Riverside street all the time, as it is the worst street in Brooklyn.
