Prior to his precipitate departure

ELECTRIC LIGHT IN DENMARK
Every Town In That Country Of Over
5000 Population Has
Public Service.

According to recent information
about the progress of electric light
and power industries In Denmark, 1t
appears that all the towns Of 5000
Inhabitants and over are now provid-
ed with public electric service, says
the Scientific American. AS to towns
having between 5000 and 5000 inhabit-
ants, there are only three in which
electric mains are not installed, 30
that it will be seen that Denmark is
one OF the most progressive countries
in this respect. The largest sized elec-
trio stations are to be found at Co
penhagen and at present there are
three large plants In operation giving
total of $4,000 horse power. Cur
rent Is supplied for the city mains,
as well as for the tramway lines. AS
regards the Danish stations in small
towns, in general each town has its
own plant, and there is but one ex-
ample of an intercommunal system
This is at Skovshoved, near Copenha-
gen, and the central station extends
its power lines over all the suburban
regions, also supplying the tramways
of Helierup and Klampenburg. In
most Of the town electric stations the
Diesel heavy oil engine Is used.

Adulation Pleased Rousseau.

Rousseau, whose bicentenary cele-
bration occasioned riot in Paris the
other day, created a sensation when
he visited England in 1866. Rousseau
and his Armenian Dress" wrote Lord
Charlemont, were followed by
crowds when he first arrived in Lon
don, and as long as this species of
admiration lasted he was contented
and happy. Garrick not only gave a
supper in his honor, but played two
characters specially to please him.
Rousseau was highly gratified, but
Mrs. Garrick declared that she had
never spent more unpleasant ev-
ening in her life, the philosopher be-
ing 80 anxious to display himself,
and hanging over the front of the
box SO much, that she was obliged to
hold him by the Skirts of his coat to
prevent him from falling over into
