OLLA PODRIPA,
Some year ago in the Far East, the Sondan, or elsewhere, avoientific man iravalling took
some photographs, and when in a minute or two he showed the negative to a voreruble chlof, the ohiof looked pleased and puzzled, and, turning to a conatryman, snid, "It (the operator h The phi mount) in the eldest chill of Satan," losephar laaghed, it seamed to him anok a quaint and original saying; but not more heartily than did the Judgs of the Supreme Court in Sydney at the reply of a witnons who was onlloi to tostify as to character of an offender who had committed an affoues in liquor. "You know him wall" "Yes, your Honour; I know kin wall for a quiet man and a decent man in all way," "That is, when he is apbor "Yos, #But when he is drunk?" Four Honour.""
Arrah, God help us; when, is drunk he is the divil's brother."

Farther. mere, be consider: the remoteness of overgy, ant the possible accidents to the plant and its distributing clacants which this distance im plies, serious drawbacks to the electric lighting of cities by this news. He ascribes the tras resson of large sources of water not having boon gand for electric lighting on a large scale to the frot that small details, and what are exiled the small items, assume great proportions, and bið fair to consume all proâts which come from a saving of coal: Thus, he maintains the city of Baliude could have been lighted by the utilisation of the water power along the Niagara pivar, and the failure to do so has not, In his ballaf. been dus either to the opposition of the gas companion or to the Jack of imagination of capitalista.
