also this to say about the British nation:
“It strikes me that we should, as a na-

An electric lamp for reading is affixed to

you put a heavy English copper penny
in the slot, and at the same time press a
knob, an electric lamp will suddenly
light itself. When you have read half
an hour the lamp concludes you have
got your penny’s worth and automatio-

read more you must feed the slot with
