While it may not appeal so strongly to the classical musicians who are a comparatively small number in any community, with the words in the English tongue the story based on the legends of the Holy Grail is more entertaining to the masses. and its music equally as appealing.
 THE NEW PRIsoN-some further details were given out yesterday con cerning the new prison and site. The building will be constructed of stone as some supposed in the beginning. One of the arguments against Flor ence as site was that there were no large quarries nearby. There Is. however, everything needed for the construction of a concrete building, already on the ground. except the ce- ment. There is good sand and gravel and some rock not far away while ex- cellent water can be had in abundance at the depth of 45 feet. IL is believed that a concrete building will answer the purposes better than a stone building. and as il will not be very high structure only a minimum of steel reinforcement will be necessary. The site is well drained naturally. another point in its favor. A canal runs by the property SO there will be a water supply from that source if desired and there is plenty of rock of q quality useful for breaking by convicts for road and ballast purposes.

HOT AIR FAN.

An interesting German invention is fan driven b- hot air. and so simple in construction and economical in working that it IS said to compete very successfully with electric fans. The hot air is generated by a kerosene lamp holding 4 cuart of oil. A small glass chimney on the lamp fits into a large metal chimney. which conducts the air current to the engine driving the fan. The speed of the fan is reg ulated by turning the flame up or down. The whole apparatus weighs about thirty pounds.-FrOm the Youths Companion.
