THE ELECTRIC HOME.
One of the mild sensations of a recent electrical exhibition in London was an electrical home, which went off in general utility sparks for the raero pressing of the right button. The kitchen hold a magic armament of utensils that worked by chain lightning methods, and did everything, from slicing broad, oooldnfr a dinner, and cleaning knives, to washing itself np afterwards, or something of the Fort. A bedroom (I saw the picture of ttiis wired retreat) bristled with electric disturbances. In the dead of night a little imagination and the falling down of ft hair-brush wonld supply a thunder-clan to the .owner of an apartment of this kind.
Intended for nee in the Cold Land (on which a watery gun blinks through a shower-bath of grey tears nine months out of every 12), the electric home bods were fortified with olectric warmers. There may bo risk of the tragedy of stretching out a chilly too to manipulate this machinery at half-past burglar-time, touching the wron" onrl letting lose the vtn.l spark that makea the oarpet rise up and violently beat lt.-fjt', but doubtless this hazard can Ik: kept at bay by a strenuous oouxeo of electric home study.
