INCANDESCENT LAMPS. Hmv the Burned Out Filament May Be Replaced and Renewed. tI It has been generally supposed to be a fruitless task to attempt the renewal of a burnt out incandescent electric lamp, although there appears to be some eco- nomic fallacy involved in the destruc- tion of what is except in one small if important particular a perfect piece of rule apparatus. It is not intended, as a , to give in this column descriptions of Aruericau devices or achievements drawn.fronl foreign publications. This subject has, however, been taken up by the English journal, Industries and Iron, and, alti._ough it states that an American process for renewing these lamps after the filament has been bro- ken has been developed, it does not give the mune of inventors nor state that the process has come into anything like gen- eral application. Its description of the operation is therefore given for what it is worth. It states that a -commercial success has been made of a process for renewing burned out lamps which renders possible the use of • tae old bulb at a very slight expense. Byline -]rev method the collar, or bare end, of the lamp is not disturb- ed, ed, the old filament being removed and the new one placed through a small hole in the lamp bulb made by removing the tip. The small hole is subsequently clos- ed exactly in the same manner as in the case of the new lamp, leaving nothing to indicate in the finished, repaired lamp that it had ever been opened. It is stated th:lt some 400,000 lamps have been re10ired by this method, the filament being intera d through the small hole referred to by a skillful twist of the hand and secured in position by a special carbon paste. The black deposit on the inside cf the bu;:- is rano-era 1'y fitting t]ie lamp to the holder enol re- moving it in a gas furnace, while im- medi:.tely following this operation a small glass tube is fused to the opening made in the bulb, through which the lamp is exhausted. When this has been done and the last trace of air and gas absorbed, a blowpipe flame is directed which is throattube v he of t upon the , melted into the point exactly. in every respect a counterpart of the origival lamp.—Providence Journal. • "; HE MISTAKE SHE MADE. them are very many perfectly respecta• The latter gee tlom.._ Gallrona Travelers Who at Last Under- bre girls, lvho have chosen rho career of i up es a waiter and obtained a place in r it barmaid in order to make a living a tavern iu Rouen frequented by tho stood theArlt tltiter' aiul, especially if they are pretty, to get lowest class of workmen, many of She sat by car window, gazing a chance to catch a rich husband. whom sleep there for a penny a night. oat upon the unrolling scenery and poo- , "A public !louse, situated at the angle The guests of this and similar places eibly dreaming of home and things like of one of the principal thoroughfares, is ' were the principal objects of M.

Seeing that I looked astonished, she added: 'Noth- ing can be more simple. An English gentleman, if he hes a fortune, passes three-fourths of his time hunting and in other cpcn air exercise. The chaps who remain always in London have a paler and more delicate complexion, and, moreover, the expression of their faces is quite different from that of the others.' "Noticing with what attention I was listening to her, she continued: "The gentlemen that I refer to have nothing elegant about them except their clothes, for their conversation lacks novelty.

Setting a Good Example. Total abstinence from intoxicating liquors is always within the limit of safety. "Temperance," us it is common- ly understood in this country and almost invariably in others, is not in every in- stance within that limit. It is an inter • - eating and a significant fact that Bishop Temple, the recently appointed' primate .; of the Church of Euglaud, is au out- spoken fetal abstinence man. Perhaps; the most tolling part of an address de- livered in London recently, in which he again avowed his total abstinence prin- ciples, was the passage wherein he OM that when ho looked into the condition of the mon who live by labor he felt that the beet thing he could d0 for them. was to set them an example of absolute abstinence from the use of everything that intozicatea--Exohange. • 11'', its Cavrat:: anti Trade.Mark1 obtained, rad all patent businrse conduct,{ for MODKgtI; FEES.
