Kerosene becomes more (1C•adia eves?
year as the hours of evening lamplight
lengthen. and the trequeut lighting of
Ares become • a. daily_ duty. Tito fact
that these accidents are utterly iumeces•
sary. renders theta the more lamentable.
in the hope of preventing some of these
accidents, we state a few facts which
everybody ought tdkuow.
It is 'not the kerosene that explodes.
but au invincible gas that rises frenl it.
If the oil is poured into a lamp that
.needs tilling, this gas rises out of the
lamp or .can, or both, and espltitles,
often with deadly forte, if there be any
fire within reach.
Pouring oir from a eau upon a burn-
ing are or into a lighted letup ought to
be followed by a terrible esl> onion.
Sometimes it happens that no t=x-
plasian occur' but the risk iri frightful.
The only safe rult: i, never to pour
oil on a burning tire or into a lighted
lamp.

accompauied by any sound of thunder.
To this appearance the name of " heat
lightniug" has been given, and the
warm weather i5 often. assigned as its
cause. In point of fact, the heatdight-
niug is only that of a thunder Shower
so far off that,while the observer can see
the flash no sound of the thunder
reaches him, and the ink:rot:uing clouds
veil and reflect the flash until it becomes
a glow, instead of tate sharp streak usu-
ally seen. Where the flash, starting
from oue point, branches out and
divides iuto several parts, it has receiv-
ed the nacre of," forked lightning." This
is usually seen when the discharge is
near the observer. Single dashes, bear-
ing a zigzag or crinkled aspect, are
denominated "chain lightning," pro-
bably frons their resemblance to a cltaiu
thrown loosely on the ground. Again,
when several discharges oecar front
about the sante place at the same time,
and aro scrcentai by rail or clouds so
. as to light up the heavens with a broad,
bright glow, the title of " sheet light-
niug; " is applied. These four comprise
all the common forms. There is, how-
ever, one . manifestation called " ball
lightning." In this phenomena a small
globe orball of apparent lire rolls slowly
along the ground, and after a time sud-
denly explodes, scattering destruction
around. 'There are fewinstances of
this ou record, and no"vary satisfactory

The English are beginning in a vague
way to rt aline the magiritude of India,
and to comprehend that it contains some
50.000,000 more people than all Europe
west of the Vistula. POW, however, ere
quite aware of the number. of its cities,
or believe that it includes sixty-two with
, more than 50,000 people, and tweuty-
ttro with more than 100,000; namely,
Bombay, Calcutta, :Madras, Hyderabad,
Lucknow. Benares, Delhi, Patna, Agra,
Bangalore, Umritsur, Cawnpore, Lahore,
Allahabad, Jeypore, Rangoon. ,Poona,
Ahmedabad, Bareilly, Surat, Howra. and
Baroda. \\e give theta iu order of
population' but, properly speaking; in
' the l:uglihlt way of counting, Bowra,
the Southwark of. Calcutta, should ho
included in the capital, which with it
contains above $60,01.0 soul,, and it is
the greatest, as it is by far the wealthi-
est, city in the Empire.
Below the limit of 50,000 the towns
become much more numerous, and there
are hundreds with populations above
`?0.000. The majority of the latter are
quite unknown to Europeans, au active
magistrate or two excepted; and, so far
a, we are aware, utero is no book in
English which gives the slightest ea -
count of their organization, or of the
life and people in thein. Yet many of
them have lustories of 2,000 years, and
in all flourish families which think them-

aunties. Thev ranted to have his ttietu'ra
taken, `I be obligiug artist got everything
in readiness, brought out the little velvet -lin-
ed high ehclr. in which babies are usually
photographed; awl theu the trouble began.,
;<lhl'teliuns Chanties of fifty Years.
Fifty years ego there was not a steam
xrail\vay or au electric telegraph in the
l world. Now there are 10,1100 guiles of
r:eill c',ui and 300,000 miles of telegraph
this country.
Fifty years ago- there leas nut an
email steamship ai?oat. Naw' the
greater part of the foreign trade of the
Muted States. is done by stcalu.hipx.
Tliat trade in the \•ear lt'SO a. utetl

Fifty ifty years ago the population tit the
United States was about 13.000,000. I1
1#110 it was mem than .;1.000,000.
Fifty years ago there was not a
friction Match, a revolver, a brecch-
leadei', a percussion call, or a st:\via;;
waehil:e in the weed..
Fifty years ago Bessemer steel. the
.photograph, the power -press, the mower
and reaper, the process of electrotyping
and stereotyping were unituown; silu-
rninating gats had, been introilnat'tl but
eight years.
Fifty years ago the production of
anthracite coal was but 174,784 toesi ; in
IWC the een,tnuptiun was more than
25,000,000 tons.
The Latest Flyilig-Mttehiue.
The retold of the flying -machine with
which Mr. Linfield, the English in.
s elntpr, expects to navigate the air at
the rate of sixty utiles =hour resembles
in elongated tricycle with a cigar -shaped
body far the engine, fuel, and navigator.
It is twenty feet long, fifteen feet wide,
tight and .oue-half feet high. and ,weighs
310 pounds. The lifting gear consists
of twa square frames about- three feet,
deep containing parallcil sails like an
open Venetian-- build, and so placed
that the air impingea on their lower
surfaces.," Tho source of motion is a
large wheel with canvas -covered spokes
shaped like the screw of a steam vessel.
Tito rudder is kite -shaped, with the
point at the extremity. The machine
was lately attached to an engine on the
Great 'Western! Railroad, and when a
speed of thirtyfiveutiles was attained it
rose and flew through the air, the total
forward pull amounting to only twenty-
four pounds. Treadles are attached to
the wheels so as to allow a gradual
start. For power the inventor is dis-
posed to rely more upon high-pressure
steam than upon electricity or com-
pressed air.
Why She Didn't Consume as Mitch Gas
as TJsnal.
" How is it that my gas bill is smaller
than usual? I certainly consumed as
much last month as the month pre-
vious."
"The bill is according to the meter.
You are not burning as much in the
parlor as you did during the previous,
month.
"On the contrary," said the man of the
house, " we are burning more. Month
before last my daughter was absent
from home and the gas was never left
burning later than nine o'clock in the
parlor, but Last week 'she returned, and
it is often twelve o'clock now before I
hear the young man who calls on her
take his departure." ,
Well, I am unable to explain it. I
only know that I pass your house
every night and I notice through the
window that the gas is turned down,
very, very low."
" H'm, yes; just receipt the bill,
Please."
„
Very Accommodating Disposition.
" What time will you come home to.
night, my dear ?" asked Mrs. Colonel
Yerger•of`her husband when he was go -
mg; down town to attend a meeting of
the vestry.
" Whenever I get ready," answered
the husband crossly.
" Oh. Well don't come any later,
please.,'
Brooklyn ladies are proverbial for
their accommodating disposition.'
The baby's papa wanted to take off its
aeque. because it 1 1 emelt pretty fat arms,
but its mamma ,ca ftaid that it might take
'old. Theo one le uti't thought it would be
so tercet to take off his little sioeltiugs and t -it
hint iii a big arm -chair, but hie other auntie
'tnnught that such a performance would be
very immodest, indeed. and a conflict seemed
imminent,
Finally it wa., a„teed that they should take
the artist's advice and strap him up in the
high chair. Anter touch ringing of bells the
baby was induced to look with favor on the
DPW state of affairs.
The artist prep:lied to take too negative,
but just at the critical moment, the infant
doubled himself cross the snap nod scream-
ed lustily. His papa jingled the beils auew,
►Ii' artist set the iuucie.box ;nine, while tI►o
mamma drew him nut of his chair, and his
auntie called him a "patsy utzy ittle sing.”
Pewee being rost.,r. 4, another negative was
taken, this time ritll tolerabie snecess. But
•iue auntie did not like the exptessiou of the
face, anti flit* mal,,30 t thought that it did not
