"White Coal" in France.

While New York is groaning about
being asked to pay S14O per lamp for
electric lighting, Consul Mason, in
Grenoble, France, reports the lighting
of the entire city by electricity gene
rated twenty-seven miles away Or
nate standards, thirty feet high, with
curving pendants terminating with
powerful arc lights, have been erected
in the streets, and the full illumina
ton, after period Of testing, is soon
to be made the object Of a festival
night. Sixty dollars is the cost of il
stalling and lighting a single lamp for
a year, but the subsequent cost, for
lighting simply, will be compare
lively small-say one-sixth Of the for
mer cost.

PAPERS THE JAPANESE MAKE
Well Adapted for Walls, Grain Sacks
and Tobacco Pouches.

Well Adapted for Walls, Grain Sacks
and Tobacco Pouches.
From the bark Of trees and shrubs
the Japanese make scores OF papers,
which are far ahead of ours.
The walls of the Japanese houses
are wooden frames covered with thin
paper, which keeps out the wind Dut
lets in the light, and when one COM
cares these paper-waIled doll houses"
with the gloomy bamboo cabins OF the
inhabitants of the island OF Java or
the small windowed huts Of our fore
fathers, one realizes that, without
glass and in a rainy climate, these
ingenious people have solved in re-
uarkable way the problem of lighting
heir dwellings and, at least in a
Measure, of keeping out the cold.
Their oiled papers are astonishing
y cheap and durable. AS a cover for
is load Of tea when a ralnstorm
,vertakes him, the Japanese farmer
,preads over it a tough, pliable cover
If oiled paper which is almost as i'm
)ervious as tarpaulin and as light as
;ossamer He has doubtless carried
his cover for years, neatly packed
way somewhere about his cart. The
'rickshaw" coolies in the large cities
wear rain mantles of this oiled paper,
which cost less than 18 cents and
asst for year or more with constant
use.
An oiled tissue paper which is as
tough as writing paper can be had at
the stationers' for wrapping up deli
cate articles.
Grain and meal sacks are almost
always made of bark paper in Japan,
for il Is not easily penetrated by
weeyils and other insects.
But perhaps the most remarkable OF
all the papers which find q common
use in the Japanese household are
the leather papers Of which the to-
bacco pouches and pipe cases are
made. They are almost as tough as
french kid, so translucent that one
can nearly see through them, and as
pliable and soft as calksl1in. The ma
terial is as thick as cardboard, but as
flexible as Educational Geographic
Magazine.

IMITATION.


They talk Of short lived pleasure Be
1t so.
Pain dies as quickly. Stern. hard fea-
turcd pain
Expires and lets her weary prisoners go.
The fercest agonies have shortest reign.
And after dreams of horror comes again
The welcome morning with It's rays of
peace.
Oblivion, softly wiping out the stain.
Makes the strong secret pangs of shame
to- cease.
Remorse Is virtues root. Its fair increase
Are fruits of innocence and blcssedncss.
Thus Joy. oerborne and bound. doth still
release
His young limbs from the chains that
round him press.
Weep not that the world changes Did 1t
keep
A stable. changeless state 'twere cause In
deed to weep.
