OHEMULFO, 2nd February. Thorò is very little news to communicate. I am of opinion tlmi Judge Denny will be 0.8. Minister to China in March, for it is quite possible that the Chinese Government has,, with a view to getting him out of Korea, induced the naw President to give him the appointment. If this is correct then comes the question of Denny's saccommor. I hope it wil be Mr. P. G. You Mellondorff.
Mr. and Mrs. Jobaston arrived per Kwangchi. He is an addition to the Customs stat, from China. He came direct from Chefoo, where he married a few days age.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING IN 1888.
The historian of the fatury will probably dato: lo introduction of electric lighting apan a grand scale from the year 1889, and from thei amage of the Elvirks Lighting Amendment Act; and in commencing var review of the electrical events of the year this is naturally the bae which ärst engage our attention. This mportant measure was introdueel into the House of Lords by Lord Thurlow du Marok, and finally passed to law on June 18. It is well known that the Act provides for an oxton-
fion of the period before the copalsory par hase clamo of the Act of 1882 booomes opora- five from tranty: one to forty-two years, and it Also modifies the terms of purchase in favour of be contractors by the introduction of the phrase, fair market value." What is the exact bear- ng and value of the last-med concession still remains to be discovered. The nocaptance of his, or some vory similar mensurs of relief, having long been regarded as a forerone con- lusion, even at the commensament of the year many sohomes were already alcot for the estab ishment of central lighting stations and for the formation of electricity supply companies, hietly within the matzopolitan aras. The ras or of the Act was therefore immediately fol owed by an outburst of activity in this diree- ion, and it is satisfactory to note that up to the resent this movement has, upon the whole, i proceeded upon perfectly sound and healthy ines. Whilst there has hoon no sign whatever f the indation which characterised the imper- sat eõhemes and preposterous financial ideas in ague in 1882, yet there has been little or no fulty in obtaining financial support for the ajority of the undertakings now in progress a more than one instance-including that of tre largest scheme afloat-the whole of the apital has been raised by private subscription, nd the public have not even bean sɛced to can ribute; in other cases a large proportion of the hares are held by leading companies, or firms electrical engineers. This must sortainly be onsidered a healthy and satisfactory feature. The Electrician.
