The First Electric LIGHTS.

John Hollingshead was the first man
to use electric light in London. In
1878 he installed six arc lamps at the
old Gaiety theater and startled the
Strand. The price Of gas 1Aares fell
Immediately. The cost Of sae lamps
was $500 a week, and he ran them for
nine months. An attempt to plant one
inside the theater at the foot of the
grand staircase was failure The
women objected to the fierceness Of
the light. One Of them. for instance.
"pretended to be very anxious that the
secret Of her soft complexion should
not be discovered" Professor Eras-
mus Wilson said Of electric light at
that time. with regard to the electric
light. much has been said for and
against it, but think l may ray, with
out fear Of contradiction, that when
the Paris exhibition closes the electric
light will close with it, and very little
more will be heard about it" Mr..
Hollingshead, by the way, had fitted
up the Gaiety as early Al 1869 with
an electric searchlight. which flashed
the length Of the Strand. But he soon
withdrew that for fear Of soaring the
horses. 49, -

Not What Il Was For.

When Miss Julia Bryant, daughter
Of William Cullen Bryant, was little
child an aged lady, who was for a
time a neighbor Of the poet and his
family. had been shown into the par
lor Of the house, where she was max
ing her first call. She found the small
Julia seated on the floor with an illus
trated volume Of Milton in her lap. Al
though she knew: of course, that it
must be the artist, not the author. In
whom at that early age the child was
interested, she asked genially by way
of beginning an acquaintance:
Reading poetry already, little girlT'
Julia looked up and regarded her
gravely. Then she explained, with an
air of politely correcting inexcusable
ignorance: ~
'People don't read poetry. Papas
write poetry. and mammas sing po-
etry. and little girls learn to say 20
etry, but nobody reads poetry. That
isn't what it's for" @tt.,

Crime and the Telephone.

From the beginning to the end Of a
transaction in crime the telephone
comes into use. serving both sides
with equal fidelity. says writer in
Appleton's Magazine. The thief uses
it to determine which house he may
safely rob. The man next door sees
the burglar and calls up the police.
The police arrive. catch the burglar
and telephone for the Black Maria to
take him to jail. The thief telephones
a lawyer to defend him. The lawyer
telephones for the bondsman to bail
out his client, and the banker tele-
phones the sheriff that the bondsman's
check is good. When the day Of trial
comes the clerk of the court. being a
kind gentleman. telephones to the
burglars lawyer; the sheriff telephones
witnesses to be present. When the
burglar is convicted and sentenced the
sheriff uses long distance to tell the
warden Of the penitentiary when his
prisoner will be delivered. After that
the telephone line is kept hot by in
1iuential politicians petitioning the gov
ernOr for q pardon. - .

cheap process to improve the grade.
1t was not the government this time,
but an individual, E. p Arnold, Chi
cagO expert in grain handling, who
has solved this problem and put into
practical operation in South Chicago a
process which seems likely to deprive
the big elevator companies of the cit

work on the problem of the grading
and Standardization of grain In ad-
dition to the laboratories of Baltimore
and New Orleans, new laboratories
have recently been established ut
Minneapolis, Duluth, ST. Louis and
New York. In Chicago elaborate tests
have been made in the effort to devise
better means for bringing grain up to
the standard and making farm prod
ucts more valuable after they have
been harvested. Like the split log road
drag and some other devices of small
cost that have put hundreds of thous--
ands of dollars into the pockets of
farmers in the last few years, the pro-
cess is perfectly simple, once it was
