257 hitherto been supposed to stand still ! China almost entirely monopolizes the cheap machine-made clocks of Morez — which also spits the meat of Europe ; hun- dreds of thousands of spits are yearly made here. Electro-plate, enamel shop-plates, drawn wire, and nails are also made here, the population entirely de- pending on its factories. It is its streams that have en- riched Morez ; water-power, a very Ariel, is forced by the insatiable Prospero, man, to do his behests, here turning a wheel..., there flowing into channels prepared for it, on every side dispensing wealth and civilization. But civilization with its drawbacks! It was melan- choly to hear of the long working-hours, from five in the morning till seven at night, and to count the cafes and cabarets. On Sundays these are full to overflow- ing; even in lovely weather few workmen are seen walking out with wife and children. The cabarets absorb them all. Let us hope that combination, the progress of instruction, freer intercourse with the outer world, will gradually lighten the lot of labor through- out the Jura and eastern France generally.
