Errctric RADIATOR. The recent employ- ment of electric radiators to serve tem- porarily as a means of heating the Vaude- ville Theater, London, of which mention was made in_this column, was such a pro- nounced success that many managers of places of amusement in that city have already decided to adopt electric heating for their houses and many more are testing it with a view to doing so. In fact, electric London. They are being tried ata great number of theaters and public buildings and in many places where other systems of heating are in Their sudden rush | into popularity is owing, quite as much as to anything else, o their extreme hanc ness. To begin with, they do away en- tirely with the mar advantages of the steam heating pipes, and they can be used for temporary purposes in extra cold weather and be afterward putoutof the way. Cold corners and other places, where the ordinary systems of heating were en- tirely barred on zccount of the danger of their use, may mnow be warmed, and members of the dramatic profession will welcome the announcement that it is pro- posed not only to warm the stage electrie- ally, but to make such arrangements will prevent the e of the cusrents of ir usually experienced when the curtain 1. Although the cost of electric heating for public buitdings appears to be higher than that of other & really so. The time of heating required must be taken into consideration, and in the case of a theater, this is only ashort period, say three or four hours out of the twenty-four. If, therefore, a system of heating can be employed for four hours in lace of a method which requires eight Eours from start to finish, the former will evidently be as cheap in the end as the Jatter, even though it may cost twice as much’ per unit oi heat produced. In cer- tain weather it is customary with steam or hot-water systems to keep the fires in day and night in order to insure sufficient warmth for the hours of performance. With electric heating, however, it is only necessary to turn on the currenta com- paratively short time before the doors are ovened, and this gives the management the great advantage of being able to regu- late the inside tempeérature according to sudden changes of weather, and at all times to graduate the heat according to outside atmospheric conditions at the moment. Erecrric LIGHTING FOR CARRIAGES.—A new filament is being made specially for electric carriage lamps, which are now much used in Europe. In Paris especially carriage-builders are waking up to the advan tages and brilliant effects of carriage lighting, and lamps of improved construc- tion for this purpose are being placed on the market. A great stimulus to the in- dustry has been given by the fashion set by the Prince of Wales and the Emperor of Germany of lighting both theinside and the outside of their carriages by means of electric lamps. The statement that the Prince of Wales was the first to adopt this system in London has been questioned in jan to an American electrical journal. The writer says: “I had the honor of lighting the Lord Mayor’'s carriage for Mr. Alderman Knight, the then Lord Mayor of London, as far back as 1883, which I claim to be the first carriage ever lighted in KEngland by electricity.” The methods adopted were very much the same as those now in vogue. The _antediluvian _ equipage known in London as the ‘‘Lord Mayor’s carriage” was lit by placing under the coachman’s seat a small ‘eight-cell, twenty ampere-hour’” storage battery, which served to light three ‘“sixteen volt low resistance” giow lamps, two in the lanterns as side lights and o..e in a frosted lobe inclosed in a silver-plated fluted re- ector, which distributed the light evenly throughout the carriage. A Trying JoB.—According to an Indian paper the Cashmere Mountains are not in- viting to the telegraph lineman in winter, During the last three months the lines be- tween Srinagar and Gilgit have been visited by severe snowstorms, some of which have lasted six days on end. The wires were broken in several places, and then the ordeal of the linemen began. Although provided with snow shoes they found that after a fall of five or six feet in depth they could not move over the soft surface, but sank deeply into it. They were often obhied to retrace their steps and wait until the snow had ‘“set’’ before making their inspection or repairs. In cases where the line had been carried away by avalanches they often had to have one eye on their repairing work and the other on the rising ground above them, from whence a snowslip might at any moment dash down and sweep them away. The men are comfortably enough housed, and everything possible has been done_to miti- ate the evils of their isolation; but still the ordeal is severe. They are in touch by the wire only with their fellow-men, thou%h now and again an adventurous postal runner will turn up and ask for food and shelter. ProTECTING ELECTRITAL WORKMEN.—AIl- though it has been clearly demonstrated that electrocution kills a man an electrical journal urges the importance of having prompt recourse to artificial respiration in cases where workmen or others have acci- dentally undergone a heavy shock. In all properly appointed central stations in- struction cards, detailing the method to be followed, are hung up in a conspicuous place and the treatment must be perse- vered in, if necessary, for not less than :iwo {mnn. fi:fi ih'a's sted tlu'tn n&t suffi- ent attention _paid he pre- vention of such accidents, More protec- radiators are just now at a premium in | tion might be given to workmen by the adoption of a few precautions so far neg- lected. ,An obvious method is to insulate them from the groundand Dr. H. Lewis Jones proposes that this should be done by covering _the floors of all high-pressure stations with a thick layer of asphalt or with insulated platforms of considerable extent, with a_non‘conducting lining of wood, the insulating resistance of which might be increases by impregnating it with paraffine wax or tar or varnish. The point to be gained would be to make it im- possible for a workman to touch any high potential conductor or machine, except when he stands upon a non-conducting surface, nor should he be able to touch at the same time a high potential conductor and any Yart of the building which is in electrical connection with the earth. ErectRIC PROPELLERS AND RUDDERS.—The coming summer will certainly be the most active season ever known in this country among the manufacturers of electric launches. There is a ‘slickness” about the electric launch which makes those who pessess it vow they would never go back to steam or naphtha. One important fac- tor in its popularity is that women like it, for they can wear the daintiest dress throughout the longest summer day with- out fear of dirt or soiling when the motive power is the silent, unobtrusive cell, hidden away out of sight. It is not every one who is able to afford an electric launch, but every one who owns a rowboat or a sail- boat can at but slight expense fit it up so as to be electrically propelled. Several de- vices for this purpose have lately been in- vented. One of these is a detachable motor and propeller. The whole thing weighs only thirty-five pounds, and it is worked - by batteries placed under the stern seat. The motor and propeller wheel are supported upon a movable tube, flexibly connected with each other, and the tube has an attachment for adjusting it to various forms of boats in the same manner and with the same ease that a rudder is shipped. This produces a combined propelling and steering mech- anism entirely superseding any form of rudder for steering purposes. It can be so easily carried and adjusted that it is sure to.be in request among hunters and tour- ists in the mountain lake regions, as well as among boatmen in general. There is something very seductive to the summer loafer in.the idea of being able to row a skiff until he is tired and then to Jet the boat paddle its own way back while he en- joys his smoke and well-earned rest. . Mr. Wilson Was ally Let In. Under the rule of the department the Treasury building is not open to the gen- eral public after 2 o’clock in the afternoon. At each doorway is a watchman who ad- mits only persoi officials who can identi titled to special pri | Congress of a Cabinet Minis ing his ¢ard or stating his position will be admitted; to other persons the watchmen | are properly indifferent. One afternoon | after 2 o’clock had struck and the doors | were manned as usual, a diffident-fooking man with iron-gray hair and flowing mus- | tache sought entrance and was denied ad- v themselves as en- A member of er on present- ems, it is not | mittance. He got in flnally, and later on {in the office of the Comptroller of the | Treasury detailed his experiences. I started to tell the watchman I wasa member of the House of Representatives, | but then I recollected it was after the 4th | of March and the }u'oplo of my district had neglected to send me back to represent | them. Then I thought 1 would say I was | a member of the Cabinet. I had it on my lips, but felt the man might throw me | downstairs. Of course I have been con- ‘ firmed by the Senate as Postmaster- | General, but I will nat qualify for some yet.

Her respect for the ties and duties of re- jationship is carried so far that, under its impulsion, there are positively (although she is not always quite pleased about it) examples of three generations living per- manently together, apparently in har- mony. Her attitude toward her children iis one of greatlove; they live, in most cases, entirely with her, and constitute the main object of her existence. Tdo not pretend that the bringing up | which results therefrom is the best in the world—that question lies outside the pres- ent matter—but I do maintain that a very striking feature of the indoor life of Paris, regarded in its family aspects, is the inten- sity of the attachment and devotedness of the women to their parents and their chil- dren, and their sympathy for other rela- tions. Their husbands, perhaps, are not invariably included in this overflowing weeks | and o | Wi | he let mein. Of course, there are women who care nothing for either their children or any one else, but_the rule is incontestably among the middle and upper sections, as well as_in the bourgeoisie, that they are strangely full of the home tie.—Black- Magazine.
