The chief thing about the great
republic is, after all, that it is very
big, but one little intaglio, found at
Delphi or Olympia, is of more inter.
ost, in one way, and infinitely more
fascinating. The opprobrium of gi-
gantic newness lies upon the Amer.
ican continent, and there are num.
bers of Americans who would ex-
change all New York, and Chicago
into the bargain, for one ancient
monastery or one battlemented for.
tress of the past. Our transatlantic
cousins are a wonderful and delight-
ful people, but they cannot show a
single antique, unless they have im-
ported it from the old world. It is
not surprising, then, that as soon as
they have ~~made their pile,TT or are
on the way to making it, the first
thing Americans think of is a visit
to Europe, and, most of all, to the
old land. It has been said that the
strongest wish of every American is
tobe an Enyvlishman. But, if they
unly knew it, they are Englishmen

LIGHTING PARLIAMENT.
How the Commons and Lords Are Fur
nished With Illumination,
Although gas, candles and_ oil
lamps are used to light the parlia-
ment buildings, says the Westmin.
ster Budget, incandescent lamps are
in most general use. The system of
electric lighting is controlled from
the basement, and throughout the
| building the lamps themselves are
every where arranged with great care
and forethought. In the dining
rooms, for instance, they are placed
very high up, so that while the sup-
glare over the tables. In the tea-
rooms, besides the lights from the
ceiling, there are wall brackets over
the tables and even movable table
lamps for those who care to use
them. And inthe kitchen and the
service room adjoining the com
mons dining room all the fittings
are made of iron, rather than of
brass, so that they may suffer as Jit.
tle as possible from the steam.
With a staff of about 50 men the
superintendent is able to make ali
sorts of ingenious and pretty fit.
tings. And, as another specimen of
the economy which is everywhere
visible, it may be mentioned that he
has succeeded in making many pret
ty electroliers out of the old gas fit
tings. Tho big electroliers" notably
that in the central hall, which
| weighs 18 hundredweight and bears
93 lamps"and the smaller ones in
tho peersT chamber, St. StephenTs
bull and elsewhere are made to be
raised and lowered for purposes of
cleaning or of replacing brukeu
lamps. This big electrolier has, high
up in the dome, a crane, which
moves over it on tram lines, by
which it is raised and lowered, while
the electric wires are carefully
drawn aside on another tramway sc
that they may not be damaged in
paying out while the electrolicr is
beiny lowered. And in the roof above
the house of lords there are siinilars
arrangements, but with simply a
weight and a couple of earthenware
pulleys in place of tle crane.
The commons chamber is no}
lighted entirely _ by electricity.
Round the arched doorway are ten
incandescent lamps, which are prin.
cipally required to show up the
carving and the clock face, and un.
der the sido galleries there isa lamr
placed behind each pillar, so that
while it cannot itself be seen, it pre
vents the members who may be sit.
ting there from being in deep shade
and so invisible to the speaker. The
principal lighting here, however
comes through the painted glass
lamps are used, gas being preferred
to electricity here both on account
of its superior spreading powers and
because the heat creates a draft,
and so assists ventilation. |
the glass is avery fine wire net-
work, so that were a breakage to oc.
cur there would be no danger of a
cabinet minister being decapitated
In the lobbies and the libraries
electric lighting is used, however.
In the libraries and reading roomé
it is placed lower than in most parts
of the building, for obvious reasons.
And in all the larger electroliers the
lamps are divided into three groups,
which light independently of one
another. Thus, on a dull day one set
of lamps would be in use; if it wore
toggy, there might be two sets, and
at night all three are employed.
Ruskin and Science,
Qne of the worst enemies of sci.
ence is Mr. Ruskin. When Agassiz
publisired his beok on ~~Fossil Fish-
es,TT which was deemed of such im.
ages of the strata in which they
were found that the United States
government contributed to the ex
penses of publication, Mr. Ruskin,
in ~Preeterita,TT volume 2, page 112,
says, ~~ Agassiz was a mere blockhead
to have paid for all that good draw-
ing of the nasty, ugly things, and.
that it didnTt matter a stale herring
whether they had ~any. names or
not,� a piece of criticism written
with the pen of ignorance. But
what shall we say when we see the
same writer speaking of ~~little Mr.
Faraday� finding a hydrocarbon oil
in heaven which makes a stink? (1
