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- ply of light is ample there is no 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 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 all sorts of ingenious and pretty fit. ‘tings. And, as anothor 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. The big electroliers—notably that in the central hall, which woighs 18 hundredweight and bears 93 lamps—and the smaller ones in the peers’ chamber, St. Stephen’s hall and elsewhere are made to be raised and lowered for purposes of cleaning: or.’ of. replacing . ‘broken lamps. This big eleotrolier has, high up in the dome, a crane, whicb moves over it on tram lines, by which it is raised and lowered, while the electric wires are. carefully drawn aside on another tramway so that they may not’ be damaged in paying out while the electrolier is being lowered. And in the roof above the house of lords there are similar arrangements, but with simply a ‘weight and a couple of earthenware The commons chamber ia not lighted entizely by eleotricity. Round the arched doorway are ten incandescent Jamps, which are prin- cipally required to show up the carving and ithe clock face, and un- der the side galleries there isa lamp placed behind each pillar, so that while it cannot itself be seen, it pre- vents the members who, may be sit- ting therefrom being in deep shade principal. kghting here, bowever. comes through the painted glass roof, behind which 64,powerfal gay lamps ‘are used, gas being preferred to electricity here both on accouni of its superior spreading powers and ‘because the heat: creates a draft, and so assists ventilation. Under the glass is avery fine wire net- work, so that were a breakage to oc- cur there would be no danger of a cabinet mimister being decapitated In the lobbies and the ‘libraries electric lighting is used, however. | In the libraries and readimg room: ‘it is placed ower than in most parts of the building, for obvious reasons. ; And in all the larger electreliers the of Jamps wauld be in 6; if it were | foggy, there might be two sets, and at night all. three are empleyod. ‘.

Had it been asand bank I could have understood it, but it was composed of pebbles, aM very mueh alike, rounded | and smooth almost to a size, and appar- ently differing from the small stones found in the gravel beds of the south. Several of the hunters in that section had seen the pebble beach and, like my- self, they could not understand it, All winter long it seemed fresher than at other times, and during the summer the grass would kinder cover its upper portion and the mud from the fresh water dim the luster of the stones near like it in the marsh. “One winter, in fact, it was just when the first cold spell had struck us, I was hunting with a friend in the lake I. spoke of. It was one of the finest duck- ing spots in the state. This was before they had begun to make.giue from the eggs in Canada. When we reached the lake there was not a duck to be seen. The next morning I was hiding in the grass near the pebble beach when I heard a sound of wings and a large fiock of mallard settled near me. Before I could raise my gun the entire lot walked out on the pebble bank, and to my aston- ishment, began to disgorge a lot of small stones like the ones already there. This occupied but a short time, and the flock began quacking and sailed into the lake, and I shot several. This settled the mystery ofthe pebble beach. In the spring I was again hunting in the lake. When the first warm ‘weather came the ducks began to go home. would come. to the beach, and after a few preliminaries swallow a lot of peb- bles, then fly around for a minute in order to see if their balance was all right. If they were too heavy they would disgorge a few stones, or, if too light swallow a half-dozen more, “IT found by observation that in order for the ducks to. make long flights it was necessary for them to fill up with a certain number of stones to secure a proper equilibrium for the return trip. After I found this out [ always had plenty of game to show my friends.”— N. QO. 'Times-Demoerat. eee Sailing Round the World Alone. Capt. Joshua Slocum, who sailed from East Boston nearly a year ago to circumnavigate the globe in his 40-foot sloop Spray, has been heard from as being at Sandy Point, in the Straits of Magellan, on February 16, His original intention was to make the trip to the westward by the way of the Isthmus of Panama, but. finding that it would be impossible to transport his vessel across the isthmus, he determined to make the journey by sailing’ east.
