CIlmbinc to Church.

The only way of reaching the old parish church at Whitby, in Yorkshire, from the town is by means of 199 stone steps, probably as curious an approach to a place of worship as any In the kingdom. The church stands on the east cliff some POO feet above sea level, and to watch the crowd of worshipers before and after service threading its way up and down the winding stair way is a sight to be remembered.- London Strand Magazine.

 Mir. Edison's miners lamp is oper- ated from storage battery of large capacity and very light weight, which may readily be carried upon the back of the miner in the manner indicated iu the accompanying engraving.
