It has been an easterly rain yesterday and to-day, with occasional lightings up, and then a heavy downfall of the gloom again. Scenes out of the rear windows, the glistening roof of the opposite houses; the chimneys, now and then choked with their own smoke, which a blast drives down their throats. The church-spire has a mist about it.
Perhaps even the wicked weed would make its appearance before that sad eclipse, thereby postponing or perhaps absolutely annihilating the melancholy period of widowhood to both parties, and would light itself under the very eyes of those who in sterner cities will lend no countenance to such lightings. Ah me, it was very pleasant!
Indeed, it would not have been difficult, for a close and practised observer, to have detected a shade of regret in the lightings of his seductive smile, or in the momentary flashes of his changeful eye. The feeling, however, quickly passed away, and his whole figure and countenance resumed the ordinary easy mien in which he most indulged in his hours of retirement.
Mareschal's system, bichromate of potassa piles may be utilized in a large number of cases where a light of but short duration is required until the battery is exhausted, without the tedious maneuvering of a winch and without inconvenience. The jack permits of a large number of lightings and extinctions being effected before it becomes necessary to wind up its clockwork movement.

Now comes this man and announces that since midnight he has met and won the lady who is to rule his heart, and that he is to marry her at six!" "Then congratulate me!" I demanded. "Ah," she said, suddenly absorbed; "it was that tall girl! Yes, yes, I see, I see! I understand! So then! Yes!"
The period between two successive lightings up of the lunar lamp he found to be 42 hours, 28 minutes, and 35 seconds. This measurement of time was so accurate, that having determined the moment when the moon emerged from the shadow, the moment of its hundredth appearance could also be determined. In fact, it would be 100 times 42 hours, 28 minutes, 35 seconds, after the first observation.
If low, the ceiling should never be dark, since this makes the room appear still lower. In the dining room, however, a figured carpet is often preferred for practical reasons: it stands wear and tear around the table better. The ideal lightings for dining rooms are side lights.
