It is that the name "kelvin" be adopted for the kilowatt- hour or (in England) Board of Trade unit. The kilowatt-hour being a mea- sure of practical electrical work, is one of the most frequently used of all the electrical units and one with which the general public is perhaps as familiar as any other. The proposal that the mem- ory of Lord Kelvin be honored by apply- ing his name to this unit is now derived, for it was originally made a number of years ago, during the great man's life- time. American electrical engineers will be sure to give this proposal a cordial wel- come and careful consideration, says the Western Electrician. Aside from honor- ing a man whom all delight to honor, the word "kelvin," with two syllables, is shorter and more euphonious than "killowatt-hour," with four. The subject is one of considerable im- portance, for the word "kelvin," if it should be finally sanctioned by interna- tional agreement, will be in daily use among practical electrical men. Such objections as there may be to the word should therefore be carefully considered at the present time, before the recom- mendation is finally adopted by the commission.

Owing to the great amount of decom- posed vegetable matter contained in Brazilian waters, which causes rapid de- terioration of thin steel, the hull of the new despatch boat Guanabara, built for the Brazilian Government, is constructed entirely of- bronze. Against this metal, says Popular Mechanics, the corrosive action of the Brazilian waters has no ef- fect, and although more wetly, both in material and construction, the vessel is much lighter than if built of steel or wood.

Original of Rosa Bonheur's .Horse Fair" No Longer Exists. The famous old horse market in the Boulevard de 1' Hopital in Paris, where Rosa Bonheur used to plod about in man's attire with pencil and sketch book, has ceased to exist. No one who loves horses will regret it, says the Veg. etarian, for it represented the acme of equine discomfort. The new horse market, in the Rue ilrancion, • Which was inaugurated recent- ly, is a model of its kind. It comprises stables and sheds sufficient to shelter 800 horses, more comfortable than most of the poor beasts which conte to it have ever known. It includes an abattoir, where horses that are injured or otherwise rendered unfit for service will be turned into butcher's meat. About 5,000 horses are slaughtered for food in Paris every year, and the number is on the increase so the need of a special abatoir, well organized and closely inspected, has long been felt. The market and abbatoir were built by a private company, which will turn the property over to the city at the end of seventy years.
