Whca electrical plants were first installed aboard ship, lead incased cables, run iu ordinary molding, were used almost entirely, and in case of iron ahips the hull waa frequently employed for the return circuit. The latter method soon passed out of use, for it not only increased the fire hazard, tut was inefficient mechanically, and also 'table to give rise to disturbing influences on the ship's com passes. Lead incased conductors in ordinary molding were used on the first two United States men-of-war having electric plant the Trenton and Omaha but with unsatisfactory results in each rase In the latter ship the electrical plant of which was installed by the writer in lt84. the lead incased port and starboard mains passed through holes bored in live oak knees, one hole to about each six feet of run, and the writer has a vivid recollection of the difficulties encountered in boring several hundred three quarter and half inch holes through about eight inches of gnarled oak, very nearly as hard to pierce as some of the tougher metals. It

is perhaps needless to say that the cost of labor and tools was no small item in the cost of installation.

Lead incased conductors were finally discarded, except in some special work, as the protection from injury to the insulation and from moisture, which the lead sheath was supposed to give, wa found to be illusory. Dents caused short circuiting on the sheath of the conductors, while punctures, permitting the entrance of moisture, led to bad grounds as well as short circuits. At the present day what may be call ed a composite system for the installation of the distributing conductors is employed. Equal security in all parts of the installation is the object kept in view, and to obtain this several systems are blended together as one. While molding and flexible conduits are used in the saloons and cabins, the conductors in the machinery spaces and holds are run in iron coduits, which are thoroughly Humiliated on the inside, and special fittings are employed in passing through the decks and bulkheads.

von Binzer writes of his experience as

'A Page at the Berlin Court" upon the

occasion of a double royal wedding and of the preceding and succeeding festivi

ties. Describing an ancient and curious custom, be writes: "And now after the wedding, dinner and ball came the 'Fackoltanx.' Several of the highest officials entered the hall with flaming torches. A procession was formed, w'h the bride in the midst A number of complicated polonaise figures were then executed, after which the line closed about the bride and groom and marched out aa escort to the bridal chambers. "As the doors of the bridal apartments closed upon the happy pair we found ourselves immediately next the entrance. We waited expectantly for the next feature, holding our advantageous position with some difficulty In a few moments the doors flew open, and half a thousand silken garters, with the monograms embossed on the gold buckles, were thrown out by the ladies of honor. Court etiquette was for the nonce forgotten. Uenerals, courtiers, chamberlains and state ministers scrambled and fought with oue another for these mementos But we pages, rest assured, got the lion's share I have several of these souvenirs now, although many were given away by me that night to beseeching dignitaries.

Wildcat aad Pore np Ina. A large wildcat that had gone hungry three days sneaked down the big beech ridge above Balygump, Me , with its face screwed into as ugly a sneer as ?ver a wildcat wore. Beyond the ridge, where the ground sank into a gnllylike swamp, the wildcat found a fat porcupine on the ground. The cat evidently found the porcupine tempting to look on, for it promptly went on the hunt with all the craft it could exercise. Behind a hummock, along a snow ridge, over s fallen log and through a sprinkling of bush tops the cat made its way and approached the porcupine. Then it sprang and gripped its claws on its prey. It sought to roll the porcupine over so as to bite it on the belly. It succeeded only partially, and filled iu jaws full of short quills from the porcupine's side. The porcupine died quickly, but the wildcat, with its jaws distended with the quills, could not eat the meat, being able only to lap up a little of the blond. The agony to the wildcat was so great after awhile that the brute rolled over and over in the snow, finally forcing a quill through an eye and into its brain. New York Sun. "
