cheap and safe Lluhts.

In Great Britain an invention
which, it is claimed, gives absolute
safety to oil lamps is being applied to
practical uses. The device consists
Of circular metal box, the size vary
ing according to the candle power re-
quired. in the box is a deposit of salt,
over which is layer OF cotton waste
specially prepared.
Running through the cotton pack
ing is an asbestos wick, woven by
hand, and which is practically hides
tructible, and requires only occasional
attention. BY immersing the box
in petroleum or paraffin the cotton
waste absorbs the requisite quantity
of oil in a few minutes through small
lateral interstices. That accomplish
ed and the metal being dried exter-
nally, the application of light to the
asbestos wick produces a bright,
steady white light, the candle power
being in proportion to the size of the
box, the consumption Of oil being
less and, accordingly, the cost being
CORRESPONDENCE cheaper than If the
light were oil tanned from an ordinary
lamp.
Moreover, it is claimed absolute
safety is assured The asbestine
lamp may be inverted, may exhaust
itself, may be thrown down or whirled
about, but there is no danger, it is
averred, as there is no free oil or oil
gas that can be ignited, and conse-
quently there can be no fire or explo-
sion. The patent is said to be appli-
cable to every species of lamp from
the modest night light necessary in
the nursery through the entire gamut
of domestic illumination, to the draw
ing-room lamp. In the industrial world
it could be utilized in every direction.
especially when a bright, steady light
is essential, such as engine headlights
and lights on ships.
The Great Northern and several
Scottish and Irish railways are engag-
ed in testing the capabilities Of the
new process with a view to it's adop-
ton in railway work Every descrip-
ton Of lamp-the bicycle lamp, the
motor lamp, the carriage lamp, lamps
for domestic purposes, lamps in
mines-can, it is declared, be fitted
with the asbestine patent, and oil of
any fash point can be used with per-
feet safety and with the additional
advantage of considering economy.
The problem of the safety lamp would
appear to have been solved.

Sewing Machine to Cure Insomnia.


The electric sewing machine is de-
scribed as good remedy for insomnia.
A Philadelphia physician has been
prescribing it successfully for several
months.
Electrical sewing machines are or
binary ones, with small motor at
tachment. An electric light current
runs them-they are attached to the
light as electric fans are-and in OPP
Grafton they give forth a singulasly
smooth sound.
This sound is what makes them
good for insomnia. The victim of in
somnia has nerves that are, as 1t were.

will lull and soothe him Certain
sounds will do this-the sound OF rain
on roof, for instance, or the sound
OF a running brook. But brooks and
rain are not always at hand, and

Women as Jewellers.

1t is remarkable that more women
do not take up the jewelry business
when searching for a trade, says an
exchange. A woman can cater to
women's tastes, and with an appren-
ticeship under a good firm should be
capable of starting in for herself. An
EngIishwoman has taken up the work
and is successful in resetting stones
and also has acquired the unusual art
of painting precious stones. This is
delightful work for a woman, though
rather trying to the eyes.

one night, the Juliet being a young

was lying dead. when the grotesque-

TRAGEDY OF THE kLoNDrKE.
Terrible Cold Found Easy Victim In
Careless Traveller,


Careless Traveller.
Klondike river is fed by numerous
soda springs and even the winters
cold fails to close them entirely.
Walking on the edge of the ice near
the shore, miner one day slipped
into six inches of water. In a mo-
ment he was out and fastening to the
brush hard by to light a fire before
his feet froze. Rapidly he cut a few
fragments of wood with his heavy
pocket knife. But the unlighted match
dropped from his already chilled fin
fers, for he had rashly removed his
mittens in order to use the knife with
more freedom. Then he lighted a
second and third and finally several
at one time, hut either his haste or
perhaps a sigh Of the air caused them
to fall in the snow. All this time the
frost was selling his limbs, his body,
his heart, his mind. He turned to the
fatal mittens, which he never should
have taken off, but his already frozen
fingers could only lift them from the
ice where they had fallen, and after
vain attempt he hurled them from
him and stroVe once again to light
a last match. But it was too late.

Emergency street-car Brake.


On nearly every railway the passen.
ger cars are provided with an emer-
gency brake which can be operated
by any Of the passengers or trainmen
the instant an accident occurs, often
serving to bring the train to a stand
still before the engineer is aware
that there has been an accident. Thus,
in case an axle breaks on a rear car,
the train can be brought to stop by
any one in the car long before the
engineer could be notified and have
time to reverse the engine and apply
the brakes. 1t is now proposed to ap-
ply practically the same idea to the
street car, though in this case the
motorman, being the one most likely
to discover an emergency requiring
prompt action, is given control of the
brake. This mechanism may consist
of pneumatic pressure system or an
electromagnetic arrangement, as de-
sired, but to actuate it the inventor
utilizes an electro circuit. The
switch by which the circuit is closed
and the mechanism put in operation
is located directly beneath the motor
mans arm, being attached to his body
by shoulder and waist straps. The
instant he sees the necessity of stop
ping the car to avoid collision or
running over some one he has only
to drop his arm and close the circuit,
when the automatic brake is applied,
bringing the car to a standstill before
he could have made the first move
