Those who know lav friend
Knollyo only casually are apt to
set him down as a cynic, because at•
'times, his speech is slightly mor -
daunt and he is giveu to ridiculing
bravery and charity as madness ;
but I know danger holds no dread
for hilt, and have accidently hap-
pened un some of his many good
deeds. To rue he has always seem-
ed a elan of unueeily lenient judg-
ment, putting the hest construction
.possible ou the evil actions of his
fellows.
'If I am unrensonahly proud of
my friendship with Kuollys, it is
pardonable, for he is an experienc•
ed loan of the world, who meet be

she had convicted herself of the

ane way only in which he could
explain the matter to himself. He

upon which his mind centred. And
she confessed she had often felt im-

she could Lave no possible need.

was the most insidious cruelty he
could contrive—one that must have
tvounded her sorely. She was
never permitted to lose sight of her
sins. He was inflexible in his
course, keeping her always under
his relentless eyes. My friend
Smith thought himself, in those
days, quite capable of accusing and
,judging his prisoner, and seeing
that tho sentence was properly car-
ried out. .When site seemed to
forget for an instant her past error,
Smith ever so gently turned the

BEAUTY.
.en Elev n, nut very Short and to the
Point.
"13ceuey is only skin deep." WItats the
reuse in that say ng ? Whet good w slid it
flu a pertain to bb beautiful--say,for an inch
in depth? Fie wouldn't know it unless he
was skinned. Moreover, beauty is not to
be meesut'etl with a poalcet rule ; it is an
indefinite sort of quality that ;weds a new
definition each time it is found. "What is
belenty ?" asked a belle of her circle of all -
wirers. "What all women thick they pos-
aess," answered the cynic. "Ask your
mirror," said the Frenchman. But the
philosopher replied : "It is that which
every lover sees its his sweetheart whether
she possesses it or not," He was right.
How many tunes we have said, while pasg-
ing a homely woman, "What on earth dirt
Mr. X --e— ever see in leer? She's as home-
ly as a rail tence." Not to him, though.
We know how it is ourselves. When we
were young and susceptible we mit a girl
whose appears ee made us very sick. She
was short, and we liked tall girls. Her
mouth was of the pie order, while the rose-
bud variety had always taken our fancy.
Lastly, she had a lisp that sounded like an
escape -valve. 'Well we don't know how it
happened! but we fell in love with her, and
all her imperfections iinmediately vanished.
We toned that her head just reached the
right place on our ehculder, so her height,
or "lowth," was all right. Then, her pastry
trioublt enabled us to kiss without knoekiug
noses. That's one awful bother with straw-
berry lips. As for the lisp, we thought it
the cutest thing in the world, and tried to
cultivate one ourself, but our employer
'asked if we had been buying some new mis-
fit teeth, and wo desisted.
\Ve don't believe that every one thinks
himself handsome, but we do believe that
every one wishes to be. Theophrastus
called beauty "a silent cheat," and Thoocri•
tea says it is "a serpent covered with flow-
ers," We don't recall the personal appear-
ances of these gentlerneu, hut we are willing
to wager a large sum that their pictures
never graced a photographic showcase.
Homely persons are always saying that
beauty is a snare, just because they can't
share any of it themselves.
One peculiarity of extremely beautiful or
handsome persons is that they are seldom
noted for anything except their looks. Who
ever thinks ofrbcauty of feature, or lack of
it, in connection with \Vashingtou or Lin-
coln ? (1 don't care to give examples of the
women.) The minds that guide the progress
of the world make their owners far superior
to any physical charms. 'That's where we
come in. We wouldn't be handsome for
anything.

of motors. The perpose of this article,
then, is to make such au explanatious as it
is hoped will be the meaner of enlightening 1'i
them in this particular. For this purpose
there has been selected the plain Gramma
ring armature machine ; by Gramme ring
is meant a type or pattern of one of the,
original dynamos built Boma 12 years ago
by M. Gramme, of Paris, and which con-
sisted of two electro -magnets, whose poles
or extremities face each other, -and between
which is revolved a ring, consisting of
either fine iron wires wound around a ease
iron spider or frame, or laminas (pryers) of
sheet iron clamped together in the same
position, and bolted to the spider or frame,
this ring then being wound with insulated
copper wire of proper size, for the current and
voltage required, ii a diametrically opposite
direction. to that occupied bythe iron wire or
laminas attached to the spider. This brings
us to just what that armature has to ac-
complish in the part it plays ; it is a well
known . fact that when a wire is passed
over the face of a magnet, that a current
is produced or generated in that wire, and
as the armature in the above case is uoth•
ins more or less than a succession of wires.
lying side by Bide around the entire ring,
which ring is revolved between the, faces
of the poles of the magnet, it will readily
be seen that as they pass along the face of
the magnets a curtent is continuously pros
duced therein, which current will flow in
either a positive or negative direction, ac-
cordingly as either the positive or negative
pole is being passed by the wire or wires.
Every one of these wires that are passing
in front of the magnet being titter all only
a continuous winding around the iron vitro
or lamina, it also follows that each one of
the windings is collecting, as it were, a
certain amount of current from such mag-
nets, and as this current mustrhave an out-
let to produce a commercial , product, the
segmenta of the commutator with the
brushes bearing thereon are so arranged
that as these wires one after the other are
about to p888 Out of the magnet's influence,

The fields or magnets spoken of above,
are simply a mass of iron, either cast, or
wrought, or laminated, wound with in-
sulated copper wire, through which is pass-
ed continuously a small part (or all) of the
current that is being generated by the
armature as explained above; this then
produces an electro -magnet, or in other

Tito Bicycle in Africa,
The bicycle has been introduced into
Central Africa. Two Englishmen arrived
at Tabora a few weeks ago with two of the
latest improved bicycles. They had travel-

they say they worked finely along the welt
trodden native paths.
