One Critic Lfkens 1t to the Rushing
of Waters In a Tempest.
Gladstone was great financier and
perhaps the very greatest expositor OF
finance who ever lived. He had a
magical influence over masses of meI
and power of words the effect OF
which was more like that Of huge
masses of water in tempest than any
thing else His Midlothian speeches
made one think less of river coming
down than of the sea coming up. His
skill in constructing difficult measure
was not even approached by any mar
of his time and perhaps was neveB ex
ceeded by any man at any time.
These and many other merits we
must freely allow him, but when the
final estimate of him is made many
traits must be introduced and not least
bis extraordinary power of believing
precisely what he wished to believe
He had tender conscience, but, save
only where finance was concerned, be
had that conscience thoroughly under
command. If it showed the slightest
recalcitrancy. his will was always
ready to say, "Just you dareP'
And yet when all has been said foI
and against him there can be no doubt
that he will remain the most notable
Englishman of his generation-as much
out of place among the Liberals as
Disraeli was among the Conservatives
but, like him, head and shoulders
above all his rivals and as much SUI
perior to Disraeli himself in most OF
the higher arts Of craftsmanship as
that immensely clever child Of Israel
was superior to him in all its secondary
arts

Really, the dark" or bullseye Ian
tern which perhaps is most generally
associated in the mind with the
steaIthy burglar wearing a half mask
before his eyes, is put to various peace
full and legitimate uses and sometimes
CLEANS upon scenes of hilarity. The
'dark" lantern is common stock arti-
Gle Of trade, which may be bought in
any store where tinware is sold, and
all manufacturers of tin goods make it.
The lanterns are made in three sizes,
and there has been very little change
in them in many years except in minor
details of operation and in the use Of
better lenses. The dark lantern will
throw bright light about twenty feet,
covering at that distance a circle with
radius Of four to six feet
Dark lanterns are sometimes used in
the country for carriage lamps and for
lighting ones way afoot across country
roacs- Lanterns of the same style,
without slides and red and green lenses
instead of white, are to some extent
used ON small yachts for side lights, but
with all these uses it is said that the

The hairspring of watch is a strip
of the finest steel about 91a inches long
and OF inch wide and .0027 inch thick
1t is coiled up in spiral form and finely
tempered. The process of tempering
these springs was long held as a secret
by the fev- fortunate ones possessing
1t, and even now it is not generally
known. Their manufacture requires
great skill and care. The strip is
gagged to the .020 Of an inch, but no
measuring instrument has yet been de
vised capable of fine enough gauging
to determine beforehand by the size of
the strip what the strength of the fin
ished spring will be. A twenty-thou-
sandth part of an inch difference in the
thickness Of the strip makes a differ
ence in the running of watch of about
six minutes per hour.
