ARTIFICIAL ILLUMINATION.
The Jlrnat Employed to I'rodnre Ar
tllirlal I. if hi and Maine.
Artificial light, is probably as nnrinnt
kb the human race nr the tine of Mro, nml
tho means employed to produce it amon;
lavage tribes nave scarcely advanced be
yond burning branches of trees, or upliu
ters of wood, while among civilied na
tions it has advanced to a point that can
almost be considered perfection.
Torches were probably the tirst improve
ment, and lamps even of the simplest kind
display a great advance in refinement, as
they require a combination of contrivan
ces," such as the preparation of the oil, a
vessel to hold it and a proper substance
for a wick. It seem remarkable that the
ancient nations, who displayed great skill
and taste in man v things, should have
ma.ie no imnntwiu ui uumw. vurn
that .if its lorm. Antique lamps have .
been found m llcrculancuni. l'ompeii and .
nthcr ancient cities of almost intinite va
riety, made of Linked clay, or of bron.e
froiii the most simplest forms to those of
Ihe most studied description, and ndmir
nblf for the beauty of their workman.-hip,
hut the principle of the lamp scarcely va
ries from what must have been the uriui
nal contrivance of an open vessel with a
wick laid in the oil. The light furni.-hrd
by these lamps must have been weak and
unsteady, and as there were no means for
ipstroyiiij the smoke, it was very annoy
ing in closed apartments
Simple as is the contrivance of can
flics, they do not seem to have been
known to the ancients, who f r a l"iiu
lime continue! to make use of the lamp
only. A species of candles were, how
ever, made by the Unmans .if strings of
rushes dippid in pitch and surrounded
bv wax, but they were not in general
use. as an ancient writer, in describing a
feast, states that there were twelve torehe
in the hall held by twelve valets.
Sometime during the twelfth century
candles nude of wax, fastened in i 'ian
dcliers. were introduced into general u.-e
n the churches, and as refinement in
(reused they came into ue among the 1
nobility and wealthy all over I'.urope,
while those of tallow were adopted by i
the middle classes. The discovery by
Argand, by which the Miioke of lamps :
was destroyed, produced a new era in
artificial illumination, and lamps wh'nh
had long been banished from the Ut
Hpn Utile n is, were again rt-lored to favor,
and came in general use.
The material Used for supplying the,
flame was either animal, vejcta'ile or!
to'sh oil. but the latter was used most ex
tensively, and cot. tinned in general uc
until til!' siipph of whales, from which
the larger portion was obtained, com
menced to In exhausted, when nun e.- :
Picised their ingenuity to the utiiin-t to
invent some substance to take its plat e.
The result was a vai it ty of iull.immable
fluid, the majority of which wi re found
highly explosive and unsafe to use.
Nearly thirty years ago coal oil was
discovered in immense iiiaiitil;c- in I'eiiti
?v lv atua. and its superior ilhuuiuat ing
power, combined wish its small en-:,
soon gave it a popularity which it retain-
to this day, and the cabin of ihe
humble laborer is now better lighted
through its agent y than the p da. i s of
the wealthy were in the earl;, ages. The
poor man tan now, through the material
'applied from nature's great laboratory I
ami the achievements of science, enjoy a
light equal to that of his wiaithv neigh
bor. Other means were, however, tried
for producing artificial light, and a
carly ,:s liiss i( as tlii ovcred by I'r.
Clayton, a cilchratnl i In nest, that the
gas which arose from bituminous coal,
when subjected to a red hi at in a n tort,
was high!) iiil'aiuiuable. and burned with
a bright flame when brought in contact
with the air and ignited.
N effort sicuis to have been made to
utilise this impoit.ant ili.-envt n until the
yiar I lie,', w hen a Mr. .Murdock. who
was an engineer in the machine works of
Messrs. Watt .V Boiitt.ui at nlio, mar
Hirmiii-liatn. Kngland. conceived the
idea of producing li.lit on an eti ii-iw
scale by means d ga-. and after several
vi nis in experimenting, applied .t to the'
lighting of his own house and alter that j
introduced it into the i xteii-ive works of
hit; employers, which wa re lighted for
the first time bv this mean? on the oeea
mod of the peace of Amiens in Ii'.'".
Hut notwithstanding these successful !
f xperitneiits. and .ibo the fact that si v- t
f ial other maniifactorii s in liinninghaui, i
Manchester, and other places wire
lighted with gas under the supervision
of Mr. Murdock. - little wa tho gen
era I public acquainted with the merits of
the invention that it w is looked upon
by most persons as merely a speculation,
calculated ts delude, and not likely to
ever be adopted to ativ coiis'di rable t -tent
In the commencement of the present
century, it was introducid into the l.v
feum theatre, ami many persons vvtie
induced to inquire into its merits, and a
Miou nine aim-wain a company was
fermert lor ttie purpose of lighting the
Hreets of London, and the iirn-s of
coal gs in an illuminating agent was an
sssuied fact. From llnglaiid the inven
tion was brought to the new world, and
with the many improvements introduced
by Yankee ingenuity, was. until within
a few years. rcnsiiU-nd the best article
that could lie obtained for producing
Rititttinl Itgtit. t
But. the people of the nineteenth cen
tury, who had chained the lightning, and
made it convey tlu ir messages around
the world, were not even satisfied with
this agi nt, each burner or .jit of which is
capable of affording a light equal to that
of sixteen sperm candles. Something
greater inu-t be obtain, tl, and genius.
Vokul with science, applied themselves
(o the task, and the electric light isthe
result. This disc. .very, however, i- as
yet only in its infancy, and can scarcely
be said to have even come into general

1 Artesian Wells.
Denver, which has long been so lnade"
ipiately and expensively supplied with
water, is now rejoicing In four artesian
wells, which yield 40ii,000 gallons of an
excellent quality per day; and we are
tolil that she will soon have several oth
01 s in operation stiflieioiit to supply 1 lit
growing wants of that young and flour
ishing city.
The vast plains King east and we.-t of
tho Kocky .Mountains will doubtless re
long have a great demand for similar
wells, by means of which million of
acres now waterless and barren can be
rendered arable. Wherever there isthe
scent of water, thee fur Western lands
are of unrivaled fertility, resembline;
Peru, which has been likened to a "con
servalory without glass."

ORIENTAL DETECTIVES.

Wo do not often hear of tho perform

cause thny have no novvspapers to make
sensations of their exploits. But they
still do something in (hat way quite
worth recording.
One day in the early spring a rich man
of Pidon started for Unyronl. The jour
ney was made on muleback, and was n
trying one. The traveler, being an old
man, hired two muleteers to escort and
take care of him upon his way. lie
carried a eon tidet able sum of gold in two
canvas sacks on his saddle.
'Che road led juto-s the Humor liver,
and (he journey progressed thus far
smoothly enough. At the river a halt
was call' d. and one of the muleteer, be
gan. ostcii-ibly, to sound with his staff
for tho ford. This naturally attracted
the tr.ivi h-r's attention. While he nut
watching the man in the water the oiler
one crept up behind him and with a blow
of his ponderous .s'alf. be it out his brains.
The inunleiets loaded the gold on their
ow n animals, turned tin it v ict im's mule
loose, and 1- It the holy where it lay.

there are numerous ways in which
young folk can make themselves un
pleasant, to society, 11111I one of the
most .successful it, this direction is nn
atiitiipt to I rioinal. They imagine
tiny can turn the world round by some
ecct tit rn it v of dress or behavior, or bv
(some method of speeth. In general,
I they oflt-nd their friends, and delight
I (heir enemies. As a matter of fact,
1 people had better li t well enough alone,
( (iiko up the customs of those about
. thein, and rest assured (hat what the
collective wistloti: of tho worltl agrees
to do, is on the whole bes(. Here ami
(here may be room lor change, antl
possibly for improvement. It might
lie better, for instance, that engage
ments only lasted six months; that
drawing-rooms should be abolished as
listless, or nearly so; that wedding
breakfasts were improved off the face
of the earth, and that a doen other
alterations were made in our social
customs. It is very noble, possibly
very heroic, to pose as a regenerator of
society. All the same, people who are
content to take things as they are will
find the world wag more easily with
thein than if they themselves troubled
to try to regulate the laws of giavita
fion. In nine cases out of ten young
people will find the path of safety in
following customs which are the rule.
Originality may be exciting, but in
the majority of ca.scs where it is tried,
it will be found to entail a good deal
of (rouble, ami not a little personal
I worry.

The jdn.ise originated from the old
word si ot, or .-hot, meaning primarily
money, but used in I ho sense of a
reckoning. Hence lo be soot free or
shot free implied that a man had noth
ing to pay, or was clear of any contri
bution. Shakespeare says, "Though
I should 'scape shot free in London, I
fear (he shot here; here's no scoring
but upon the pate." Shot free also
means uninjured by shot; also, un
