THE EVENlh
o
| TO BECOME ELECTRICAL molasses -
Must Start With the Sim pleat Partpvhl the
Business and “'urk Upward Slowly.
The winner of a prizek‘essay on “How
to Become an Electrical Engineeer’.’
says the boy whose ambition points
that way should be kept at school un—
til he-is 17 years of age, spending the
last few years at a commercial col-
lege where he will get a good general
education, including geometry, alge-
.bra, trigonometry, freehand drawing,
physics, inorganic chemistry, mag-
netism and electricity, practical plane
and solid trigonometry. He shouId
then start in a small shop, where not
more than twenty to thirty hands are
employ ed; never, on any account, in
a large khop. To begin with, he will
get all sorts of odd jobs, playing ham-
merman tothe black-smith, or tend-
ing the boiler and engine, but he will
be pifiking up indispensable knowledge
all the time. In a few weeks he will
start on fitting and erecting, learning
to use all the machines, such as mill-
ing, planing, drilling, slotting, shaping,
etc. One advantage of being in a small
shop is that a man has to learn to make
his own tools, an accomplishment
1 hich is apt to come in remarkably
useful on occasions. Other points of
training will be screw cutting, shaft
turning, boring wheels, pinions, bear-
ing blocks, turning crank sharts and
innumerable other jobs. Parents may
think that this is not electrical engin-
eering, but the electrical engineer must
first be a. thorough mechanical engi-
neer. Four or five years may be spent
in such a shop, and classes in mathe-
Imatics, machine drawing and design,
steam, applied mechanics, inorganic
chemistry, gnechanical engineeiing,
statics, fimmics and physics should be
attended meanwhile, and the use of the
51 de rule should be acquired His next
step should be to enter an electrical
shop. Before doing so, however, he
must decide on his specialty, for elec-
.“tiicity has expanded so widely in its
application that the would—be electric-
al engineer finds it to his advantage,
even if it be not an absolute necessity,
to take up one branch and stick to it.
It may be the manufacture of dynamos,
motors or other electric power plants;
electric lighting, electric heating, the
manufacture of electric fittings, the
wiring of buildings and vessels,_ or one
of a score of other branches, but the
moret he concentrates himself on his
chosen line, the better will be his
chance of success. The young electric-
al engineer should constitute as a guid-
ing principle the fact that the great
object, aimed at nowadays is to produce
the best results with the least cost, and
in a specified time.
THE EARLIEST MINERS.
Astonishing Record Goes Back to 5,000
Years B. C.
The earliest miners and. metal work-
ers of whom’ we have record were the
Ayron people of Euro-Asian origin,
who; though of pastoral and arboreal
and worked with them—at least with
the metals, gold, silver, and bronze.
Chaldeans and Assyrians, as we now
know from the cuneiform inscriptions
which go back 3,000 years B. C., were
undoubtedlyexpertinthe use of metals,
while the Egypians had an intimate
knowledge of the arts and sciences. In
the brick and other inscriptions recent-
ly discovered artisans are seen at work
with curious details of their methods
and tools. Potters, indeed, had at-
tained eminence in their art, and the
Egyptians had certainly .a knowledge
of chemistry, as the samples of their
glass blowing the stone pictures of
tools, forceps, blowpipe, etc. prove.
Gold was largely used at an early
period—between 4,000 and 5, 000 years
B. C., as we find from some newly
discovered and ingenious weighing
balances. Many centuries older than
the pyramids, which date from fifty to
sixty centuries back, we have examples
of engineering in Memphis, which
could not have been constructed with-
out tools and necessarily an acquaint-
ance with metals. The word “met-
als” is of Semitic origin—the Hebrew
word “metal" to forge, indicates an
early acquaintance with the fusing of
pros and the malleability of metals.—

AN OLD BELL-RINGER.
He Had an Unbroken Service of Eighty-P
One Years.
Lincolnshire possesses the oldest
bell-ringer in England. At Tetney
lives Matthew Laking, who was born
in 1801, and is therefore ninety-six
.ycars old. He started bell-ringing
fifteen years of age, and his therefore
an unbroken service of eighty-one
years in the parish belfry. It means
that Matthew Laking rung a mufiied
peal for the death, of George III. in
1820, and celebrated the accession of
George IV. in the same year, officiated
at the monarch’s death in 1830, and
nagain took. part in the accession of
iwmiam IV. and his death in 1837. Be-
ginning with the accession of Queen
Victoria, he has been connected with
every subsequent important epoch in
her life, andon the. jubilee day form-
ed one of three in ringing a peal of
thanksgiving. Although born ‘ just
outside Tetney, he has practically lived
in the village all his life. A world of
local reminiscence in himself, he has'
had to retire from his ordinary avoca-
years.

THE DISCOVERY OF PORCELAIN.
First Made in Europe in the 18th Century
. -—-Secret Obtained by Accident.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
great many people have spent their
entire lives in pursuing the elusive
phantom of the philosopher’s stone
and the secret of perpetual motion,
which might have been employed to
much better purpose, yet these pur—
suits have occasionally proved of great
benefit to mankind.
The art of making porcelain was fa-
miliar to the Chinese and Japanese
for ages, but it was not made in Eu‘
rope until the early part of the eigh-
teenth century, when John Bottger, a
German from Schlaiz, in Voigtland,
invented the ’art. Bottger was ap-
prenticed to 3. Berlin apothecary,
where he fell in with an alchemist,
who, in consequence of some services,
which Bottger had done for him, of-
fered to teach him the art of making
gold. The young apprentice, thinking
his fortune was as good as made,
promptly ran away from his master
into Saxony, in the year 1700. He was
pursued, but found protection in that
country, where the people who be-
friended him urged him to give a spe—
cimen of his newly found skill.
The poor fellow had, however, been
grossly imposed upon, and the secret
from which he had hoped so much
proved valueless. He still believed in
the possibility of making gold, and
worked at the matter incessantly; It
so happened that having mixed a num-
ber of different kinds of earth togeth-
er for the purposeof making durable
crucibles, in the course ofbaking them
he accidentally stumbled upon the art
of making porcelain, and suddenly
found himself transformed from a.
poor alchemist into a. "prosperous pet-
for. The first porcelain was manu-
factured in Dresden in 1706, and was
brownish-red in color, having been
made chiefly of a brown clay. ——Harp-

A WOMAN’S STILETTO.
[‘he Hatpin Now Thought to Be Danger-
ous to “fear.
Ladies’ hats have prevented many a
man from seeing a stage performance.
Now there is a fear that ladies’ hatpins
are preventing some poor fellows from
ever seeing anything again, by causing
blindness.
A gentleman was the other day sit-
ting next a young lady in an. omnibus
in London, when the sudden stoppage
3f the vehicle caused them to be slight-
ly jolted against each other, with the
result that the point of the lady’s hat
pin came in contact with his eye. He
suffered momentarily, but not severe
pain, and shortly afterward left the
omnibus, thinking he was suffering
from a mere scratch. The lady, who
was a total stranger to him, pro-
:eegled ' to her destination, nev-
-cr suspecting the injury she
had caused. ' During the ""_night
1he gentleman awoke in the most in-
tense agony, which had not abated

hours after the accident. I found that

Master of Greek and French but Desires
to be Considered Illlternte.
Mr. Algernon Charles Swinburne,
the poet, is one of the most eccentric
individuals in England. He is,a per-
fect master 013 Greek and French, but
it is his delight to pretend to be entire-
ly illiterate, and though he left Oxford
with a great reputation, he never took
his degree. Mr. Swinburne lives near
London, but he is rarely seen in soci-
ety. One of the most plca§ing traits
in his character is his devotion to chil-
dren. However absorbed he may be,
he always remembers to bring some
sweets out of his pocket for any little
ragged urchins who come across his
path. He is said to be one of the very
few versifiers 0f the, present day who
make an income out of their work, and
a great many people were astonished-
that he did not become Poet Laureate.
