To tell you the truth, I never thought about it at all; but it happened that one evening not long ago, I was made very muoh aabamed of my stupidi- I received an invitation to spend the evening with a learned professor and his beautiful wife, who live in a large houBe on Madison avenue, iu New York, and to witness some elec- trioal experiments. What a delightful and sensible invi tation! I knew I should meet not only the best, but the most cultivated people; and I anticipated far greater enjoyment than if it had been an or dinary evening party. In this pleas ant expectation I was not disappoint ed. After the company had assembled, they were invited to go to the top of the house. We marched up the stairs in prooession, the ladiea having taken the arraB of the learned men. We were ushered into a large room, from which all the furniture had been re moved. Camp-chairs were arranged In rows, and were quickly filled .This room opened into another, which also was filled with camp chairs. Between the rooms wan a high table, on which were mysterious scientific-looking jars, out of which came small copper wires in fine colls. The tops of these seemed to be connected together by finer wires. On the table, besides these, were a gas drop-light, a com mon tallow candle, a little bronze boat containing oil, with a wick at one end, a rather shabby-looking dark oandlestick, or what looked like one, and some other things, the uses of which I did not know. Fastened against the wall was a large square, made of three colors of silk, broad stripes of blue, red and green, surround by a wide yellow bor der, and I wondered to myself if it were a banner, and to what nation it belonged. After we were seated, there was a momentary silence of expectation, and I faintly heard something that sounded like the muffled beating of a steam-engine. I saw it afterward in the back room, a pretty little engine, hard at work, not boiling water, to generate or makesteam but a petrol eum engine, burning petroleum oil, to generate or make an electric cur rent which was carried through a pipe to the table between the rooms. The professor said that this cunning little engine consumed only one drop of oil a minute, and yet it was "a horse and half power." I called it a horse and aooltpower. You all know that the power of all steam engines is thus gauged or measured ; that is, each one has the strength and can do the work of so many horses. The engine of an ooean steamer is of many hundred horse power a giant in strength and resistance against the mighty winds - .....wo ununug VLIO CQaOI. Will almost resistless power, to "Cleavo a path majestic through the flood. As ir she were a goddess of the deep." And now that I have quoted this elegaut oomplimeut to the steam en gine, I will tell you what the profes sor said about light. "In very old times," he began, 'people went to bed with the chickens when the sun had set. When they wanted to sit up a little later, all the light they knew how to make was from the blaze of burning wood. Af tera while, some observing old fellow noticed that when grease fell Into the fire, the blaze became muoh brighter; so he dipped a reed or rush into oil and set one end on fire, and thus rush lights came into fashion. Old books and songs tell about the farthing rush lights. They were sold four for a pen ny, and a very dismal illumination they must have made. Then people began to put oil in cups, preparing a rind of pork to set in the oil for a wiok greasy sides, and very soon it became if not a brokenhearted, certainly a broken-backed, tallow candle. Tt wns not so many years ago," said the professor, "that candles were in general use, though greatly im proved in quality ; for the next inven tionthe argand burner, or astral lamp could only be afforded by well-to-do DeoDle. The flame was fed by the oil made from thejblubber of the I sperm wuaie, wnion was rmuei ex pensive ; but the lamp made a great Improvement in artificial light. Many of us can remember the astral lamp, which gave a soft, pleasant, steady light under its glass shade, quite suf ficient to render a room of ordinary size cheerful and cozy. Gas had been discovered, and utilized in places of business a long time before it was In troduced into our better houses; and then it waB that petroleum or kero sene took the place of candies in poor er localities, and it is still In univer sal use. You may think that there Is noth ing better to be desired than gas; but if the ladies present would consider how this light ohangeB'and injures many delicate colors, and how unbe coming it Ib, they would rejoice in that restless spirit of invention that is ever crying 'Excelsior!1 and Ib now neing all its resources to bring the ex quisitely beautiful pure white electric light into common use. Let me show you the effeot of light still more yel low than gaslight on these colors hanging up. It is a sodium light, and sodium is only common salt pre pared for burning." Here the professor applied a match to one of the things on the table of which I told you I did not know the uses. A dull deepyellow flame sprang up. All the blue, red and green in what wo will call the banner vanished utterly nobody knows where leav ing three ugly gray and leaden-colored stripes, while the pale yellow bor der had an attack of yellow jaundice immediately, and became orange ool or. rne nroiessor neio uia How to Detect Scarlet Foyer.- It ls'important toTdetectthe disease when it first shows itself, br the rea son that it may run rapidljr to a fatal issue, and because early Jrecautions need to be taken against itispread, in asmuch as the patient ma; communi cate it from the very first. Soarlatina is charaoteriad by very numerous red points on th, skin about the size of a pin-head though larger in some places, but seldom as large as a lentil. These spots are olotfly aggregated, leaving the adjacent kin Mholiy free. About as muoh of th surface is free as is covered by the spts. Where the skin is free, It has aiaturat pale color. There are generalljfewer spots on the face than on the ret of th body. It is the reverse withmeasled for which it ismostapt tobeoistake.

Moreover, the spts are tot as much elevated as they ae in npasles ; in deed, they may be ntirelyflat. They are also less inderted. Their nearly oirular elape, their being crowded togther, with free spaces between the iggreptea, their tolerably uniform disalc(from each other, and their nearly equal size, help to distinguish thetiroui other eruptions ; but the paless of the mouth alone is often sufflent to de cide the matter at once. Beside these Indicationolmost al ways the back of the rath and of the tongue are inflame and the glands of the neck anawollen. Youth's Companion. T. IB.

But remember to remove tbild of the hand I kettle, so that the steam ay esoape. against the flame, and it changed to a This should always be do! in boiling ghaBtly gray hand, and as to us, we looked like dressed up ghosts. "You see now," said the professor "how great an improvement a white ngnc ought tone, i am told that when ladies purchase silk for an evening dress, they have it shown by gas light. Borne of the larger stores have a little room lighted only by gas for this pur pose; and it is surprising to notice howasiik, beautiful in daylight, will olter and become dingy in color the moment thegaslight flashes upon it." And now the professor, putting out the hateful sodium light, touched a bidden spring. In an instant like the twinkling of an eye a tiny, but most glorious, star, or, what it was still more like, or was really, a bit of imprisoned lightning, flashed out of the end of a coiled copper wire, with thousands of luminous silver rays em anating from it. "A h, how beautiful ! bow bu perb!" exolaimed everybody. Instantly all the colors in the ban ner on the wall beoame perfeot and true ; blue was blue, and green, green and you know these colors are often mistaken one for the other at night. The colors of the ladies' dresses, soft lavender, blue, pink, and diamonds flashed like little eleotrio points. Why, everybody looked handsomer than ever they had before. The fine dark eyes of the professor were spark ling, and his face beaming with pleas ure, because he saw that he had given pleasure to others, which after ail is the best, the purest happiness. Then he put a white porcelain shade over the eleotrio light, and with the soft ened brightness, another delighted exclamation passed like a wave over the crowd; for you know that light like sound travels in waves, though light beats sound by an infinite num ber of times in Bpeed. I might as well tell you here that while a sound would be traveling leisurely about " t 1 ... fluoll Of light can go the distance of four hun- area ana eignty times round the whole earth ! The porcelain shade, over the eleo trio light made it seem as if a moon, brighter than a hundred moons, had floated down upon us; and yet it was all the time that mere speok of light ningchained up, bound down hand and foot by the professor. Soon, by a mysterious turn of his hand, the light darted to another cop per wire. This was an English application of electrioity, and has been used a good deal in England in dock-yards ironworks, railway stations and man ufactories. It was very bright, but it fliokered a little. Then he made the light dart to the candle etiok I men tioned, which was invented in Paris by a man whoso funny name is Jab lochkofF.

And here the professor put out all the gas lights, and applied a match to the wiok at one end of the little bronze Roman boat. It was highly classical and very el egaut in shape ; but the light it gave was so utterly dismal that all the then "Butthurpurttles," and none of them seemed right. This candlestick made a lovely light. A large number of them were used at the Paris Expo sition, which must have been magnif icent at night illuminated by this im prisoned lightning.
