For instance, th'.i lamps may be lit and extinguished by the- aid of an interrupter in the circuit, which switches the current on and off at regular intervals ; or they may be fitted to a revolving disc, which, driven by a motor or other efficient system, swings each lamp round to light up as it passes a, fixed point, by moving over a suitable contact. The lighting period is. so brief that the bulb has not time, to become hot, and the filament ia not main- tained at extreme inca.ndep,c<>nce a sufficiently long period to break down. The illumination obtained in this manner i extroauely bril- liant and powerful.

The system has met with wide- spread appreciation in Franc* for a variety of purposes. For light- house illumination with the occulat- ing and revolving characteristics it has also proved efficient. In the revolving type of light the lamp of a larger design is extinguished dur- ing part of the revolution, eo a* to enable it to cool down. It is pointed out that by this in- vention, owing to the extreme cool- nefls of the light, smaller lenses can be employed because, they can be brought closer to the light. Natur- ally the life of the lamp is some- what short under these conditions, but it is claimed that the system is cheaper than an aro light required to produce an identical oande- power. Oil!

Mot of the leading Brit Un news- papers have published commenda- tory reviews of tho second ledition of Colonel George T. Denison's "History of Cavalry" (The Mac- mil Ian Company). Of these one of tho most recent is that of the West- minster Gazette. It reviewer, who ia evidently a military man, gives the Canadian writer the high praise of being nearly 40 years ahead of his time in the matter of cavalry tactics, for it is nearly 40 years since the first edition appeared. The review is, in part, as follows : "In 1874 the Emperor Alexander of Russia offered prizes for the three best books on the history of oavalry, the competition being open to officers of all armies. The first prize was awarded to the author of the work of which a second edition has now been published, and it is, indeed, refreshing to be thus re- minded of the fact that British offi- cers have actually a literary as well as professional capacity by no means inferior to that so commonly credited to foreigners. Littl won- der is it that military works of the highest class are comparatively seldom -written in the English lan- guage, seeing that when -written they are usually neglected, where- as translations of foreign produc- tions, often of far lees merit, are almost invariably purchased in great numbers by British and American readers. "Colonel Denison, on exceeding- ly distinguished Canadian soldier and British Imperial patriot, has found himself in the happy position of -being fully justified in ordering a reprint of hi original work, ex- actly as it -was published in 1877. The single correction required, n respect of an unimportant devia- tion from irtricfc historical accuracy, has been conveniently made and ex- plained in the preface ; but as re- gards modern developments not one has given cause for tho slightest alteration of views expressed i.a pages that were printed nearly 40 years ago. "Colonel Denison' B studies em- brace a period of some 3,000 years, and the object throughout, has al- ways been to arrive at tho 'reason why,' in repecfc of victories, de- feats and developments. Such be- ing -the casp, it will readily be un- der-stood that the resulting work is not merely a 'History of Cavalry' in the narrow sense of that title, but rather a critical review of the evolution of tactice in general, as influenced by weapons and by cir- cumstances."

(j. uhcre it seems somewhat arbitrarily intro- duced into a narrative where the reference has little, if anything, in common, being rather an explan- atory note thrown in by the au. thor of the passage. In both this and the Genesis reference to this strange and superhuman people we are doubtless brought ia con- tact with ancient Hebrew allusions to a portion of early mythology which in the sacred legends of other peoples receives much moro copi- ous treatment, namely, the stories of demigods and giants. We are doubtless not to think of a separ- ate and distinct people, hut rather of men of unusual size and strength found here and there aiming the different tribes inhabit- ing the land.
