The time of getting the patents, which usually takes six months, was reduced to thirty days. By the new process the shells inetead of being made of cast ivon and boxed as formerly, are made by welding the chilled point and butt to section of Soft iron pipe. In the caseof Shrapnel shells the abor and uncertainty of graduating the thickness of the shell with calipe boring, aid adjusting the nicely pc dinphraem between the powder at the butt and the bullets with which it is filled, is greatly lessened.

Of courseon the Thames lighting stations are com- mon enough along the banks, so that even now quite a little fleet of electric Taynches are on the river.

How They Treat Prisoners in the Islands of Italy. A correspondent writing from Taly gives some interesting details of the treatment of prisoners on various Italian islands he visited while on a trip in the Mediterranean. Each of these islands contains several hundred prisoners, who are locked up every night at sunset, leased at daybreak and locked up again from midday until 2 o’clock During the night no prisoner is allowed to be absent under any circumstances, but at midday those who work on farms at a distance from the prison are allowed to remain out by speeial permission from the director. During the free hours the prisoners can go anywhere they like on the island, and can engage in any work offered them by the townspeople or farn Any infraction of the rules of ordinary life around them or of their prison is punished by seclusion in special ce The government furnishes ph, and medicines, a summer and w of clothes toeach prisone allow *h 10 n~u||t-(luil\ in | his food and other Danger of escape is pre of sold one to every and a swift-sailing felucca, manned marines.
