These improved shapes reduce to the minimum the “drag”? Which impeded the productive power and materially reduced the electric effects of the older machines. As is well known to all our readers who nave examined the Brush system, itis only ery was ned, so as <r Pensate for the cons<ant combustion wiwwin the are, and even this was not con- stant in its erfects. The result was at times a very disagreeable flickering and unevenness of light, caused by the unequal combustion of the upper carbon. Mr, Van- derpoel has radically improved the machinery for adjusting the carbons, and they are now regulated automatically. He has affixed a coil and vibrating armature to the lower car- bon, which pushes it. up as fast as burned away by the intense heat developed in the light. Careful experiments have satisfied him that the uppercarbon pencil is destroyed. with twice the rapidity ot the lower one. Hence he has so arranged the vibrators, to which is attached a -sinall plunger, that while the upper one vibrates twenty times per second, the lower one only shakes half as fast. Each vibration lowers the upper and raises the lower in the proportion of two to one, pro- vided both carbons be of equal consistency and density. For using the carbon in the retlector the same principle if made use of, but the machinery is nfere complicated. IN YESTERDAY’S EXPERIMENTS three generating machines were in constant use,—two of two-lizht power and one of six. Another was oceasionaliy brought into serv- ice to show how, the electric fluid could be used as a motor fortunning Hebe imachinery. Theinotive power was furnished by a 25 horse power engine on the first floor of the machine-shops in ‘which the experiments were conducted. The fuur electric gener- ators were bolted to the second floor, and the power was communicated by belting from the shaft, which furnished the facilities for Tunning 4 number of machines used in the shop, Ten lamps were used in the experi- ments. One was attached to a locomotive parabolic reflector, and when the electricity was turned ona flood of beautiful white light was reflected the entire length of the room, making everything within the field of the rays as light as day. The only sputter- ing which took place occurred simultaneously with the combustion of thethin film of copper with which the carbons were coated. soon as that disappeared from the ends of the carbons, the light became as steady as that of the student’s oil lamp, but fully 100 times brighter. TO SHOW THE INTENSE HEAT generated by a single machine on a circuit of not more than twenty foet, a cast-steel file was inserted in the current in place of one of the carbons. The full power of the ma- chine.was turned on,and almost simulta- neously the steel began to fuse and fall to_ the floor in | sputter- ing drops. The light was _ intensely brilliant, but the constant sputtering of the melting steel made it very trying on the optic nerves. Fullya squareinch of the steel ‘Was eaten away in about two minutes. Prof. Barre, of the Fire-Alarm Tele- graph, who has devoted considerable atten- tion to electric lighting, was present dur! the experiments, and watched them witl great interest. At the conclusion of the ex- ibition he was bountiful in his approbation, and pronounced Mr. Vanderpoel’s invention of preat value in the use of the electric light in the open air. id COMMUNICATIONS.

January Atlantic. ‘This time I was bound to make sure work, and so, with the best information 1 could procure, started off for the civil bureau (Standes Amt) to ascertain precisely what was required, “Upon what business do you come?” de- manded the pompous servant at the door. “I am an American citizen, and want to know how to get married in Germany,” I faltered. He opened the door of the main office, and shouted, ‘Ein Herr Amerikanner wishes to marry himself!” and then showed ino into a large and well-filled waiting-room to take my turn, every occupant of which gazed fixedly at me without winking for some minutes. One thin, dark, wiry man in soiled linen and bright yellow kid gloves, had dropped in to announce the death of his third wife. A trembling young mother was sharply repri- manded for letting the legal third day pass before announcing the death of her child. Asomewhat seedy clerk had come, with a radiant face, to announce the birth of a boy 14 hour old, and to be called Johannes Conrade Hermann Degenermeister. A servant-girl and her lover were waiting In one corner,—she red and giggling, he erect, dignified, and taciturn as a head-waiter,—to be made man and wife. I had plenty of Ume to observe, for nearly an hour passed before my turneame. At length I was shown into a jong room, with half a dozen clerks at one end, who twisted their necks, adjusted their glasses, and gazed and Lstened with open- mouthed wonder. “ [wish to get married in the very simplest and quickest way,” I said, presenting my passport, “Will you please tell me how to 10 it? “Tt is extremely simple,” said the officer. “We must have a certificate of your birth {Geburtsschetn] signed by the burgomaster of the town in which you were born, and with its seal, and witnessed in due form. Your certificate of baptism [Taufacheiny should also be sent, to guard against ali error, sealed and witnessed by the present pastor or the proper church officers. These must be presented here by. each of the con- tracting parties, with their passports, as :the first step.” I carefully noted this, and he proceeded: “The parents, if living, should certify to their knowledge and approval of the mar- riage. We must also be satisfied that there is no obstacle, legal, moral, or otherwise, to it; whether either of you have been married before, and if so whether there are children, and if so. their names and 4} ‘The parents’ names should be in full; also their residence, occupation, age, and place of birth should of course be given for record here.” I begged for another scrap of paper and made further notes, “When we have these here in this desk,” he continued, patting fondly that piece of furniture, “then either we can publish the bans [Aufgebot]_by posting a notice of your intention in the Rathhaus for fourteen days, or else you can have it printed in the journ of the Dlace where you reside in America, and bring us a copy here as evidence that it has actually appeared. After the expiration of this time you can be married in this ice. “Must it be here?” I queried. “Of course,” he sald. “This is the only place which the law now recognizes. Poor peorle are content with ‘civil marriage only, ut all who move in good society zo from here to the church fora religious ceremony.” “ Is it not possible to shorten the time?” I timidly ventured to inquire. ‘ We had made all the arrangements for an earlier day, and are seriously incommoded by the delay, I idnet know the requirements. It takes four weeks to hear from America, and then two weeks more here, and—— You do not, perhaps, exactly understand, and yet I hard- ly know how to explain. But there is really haste. We are pressed for time.” “ Haste? Pressed for time ”” he repeated. “ Perhaps Ido not understand. Iam sorry, but it cannot possibly be sooner. You think we are slow in Germany. True, but we are sure, We require our people to take time to think over the matter beforehand, and di- yorce with us is far from being the easy mat- ter I have heard it is in America.” READING ALOUD IN THE FAMILY. Detroit Post. “Why do you never read aloud, Maria?” asked Mr. Jonesof his wife. ‘The Scientific Advance says that reading aloud is one of the bonds that cement families together; wonder you never thought of it.” “J think of it, Mr. Jones! Why didn’t you think of it yourself?” “Well, you see, I am often hoarse and tired, and then I want to smoke at night; but you have nothing else to do. Suppose we try it; you read and ’1l listen.” “Very well; when will we begin?” “Why, to-night, with the morning paper. I haven't half read it; now J’ smoke and listen. This is comfortable, I can tell you. ‘After all, there’s no place like home.” ‘Mrs. Jones was pleased, and said, ‘‘No, dear,” and took up the paper. She turned it over once or twice, and rustled it a good deal, but finally, in a clear, distinct, but feminine voice, she began: ‘“Weddmg 2, Hes ?—— “Stop, Marial” said Mr. Jones; “read the markets first.” Along rustling and turning over of the aper. “I canuot find them, dear; the’re Ee tout; but here’s a lovely murder!” “Well,” in a disappointed voice, “go on.” So Mrs, Jones read the “Horrible Murder ‘ofan Entire Family,” which recital made Jones so sick thathe threw away his cigar; and then she came to the “Boston Woman’s Deposit Company,” which Jones was anxious to hear about, but when she haa read about three lines she said, “O, pshaw! No woman would act that way; there isn’ta word of truth in it,” and read an account of a baby that was found on the doorstep, and an open- ing of fall millinery. Jones was sound asleep by this time, but she did not know it. "Then she turned the paper again, and Jones ms suddenly aro! by afirm grip on his shoulder. “Hey, hallo! what time is it, Maria? It’s too early togetupyet.” = * Mr. Jones!” shouted his wife; she stood over him like an avenging angel and held the paper before his dazed eyes. “Who—cut—that—piece—out—Mr.Jones 2” Yes, there was a quarter of acolumn cut cleanly from the paper. Jones had done it but, to save his life, the wretched man coul nat ae what for. At adesperate venture e said: ‘Tt was an article on oleomargarine; I re- member now.” f ee Margarine! And what did you want of er He explained that it was a kind of butter, but she didn’t believe. Guilt was written all overhim. Shestared at that empty place in the paper, until it seemed to her she must die if she did not know what was there. ‘Then she broke down and sobbed. “4nd you—you—sald there was no place like home, and—and—now——” * There isn’t!” shouted Jones as he took his hat and plunged into the darkness, “ For pure, undiluted misery and uncomfortabie- ness there is no place Tike it!” Reading aloud is not encouraged in the Jones family any more. Mrs. Jones bought a duplicate copy of that paper the next day and found out that it was only a stupid old list of sales in real estate, and Jones says any other kind of cement for keeping families together is preferable to reading aloud, “JAMES, IS THAT Your» Boston Post. Women are timid creatures, and hate to be Jeft in a house alone at night, so the other day when Mr. Gallagher went away from home, leaving his wife with only an ignorant servant, she was very much worried, and readily harkened to the vcicé of an agent who called just after Gallagher had gone around the corner, and wanted to sell her a machine which would prevent burglars from getting into the house. She bought | three. Those pinced at the front and back doors were so arranged that, when the door. was opened, a hammer would strike down from above and knock down the person try- ing to enter. A third contrivance of differ- ent pattern was placed on the stairs and: another at the front window. Gallagher un- expectedly returned late that night, and, at- tempting to enter the front door, got a blow on the nose that knocked him down the steps into the street. He was both syrprised and annoyed at the circunistanc and, utterly unable to understan it, tried “he the door again, Same result, He then thought somebod: was behind the doortrying to assasinate hin, and, getting up very mad, ran around to the back door to get in'that way. There he got a thump that sent him backward into the swill-barrel, and he was terribly cross when he got up. He grabbed an ax, and, as he opened the door, again struck with it. But he hit nobody, and got another knock-down, Then he went and gota policeman, so that one could tackle each door, and one be sure to getin: but after both had enjoyed threa knock-downs they met and compared notes, and decided that two men must be in the house. ‘They then tried the front window, and, raising it, adeluge of icy water froma hose arranged to bring it flew upon them. But they braved that and gotin. ‘Then they yansacked the lower part of the house, but could find nobody, and meantime Mrs, G.,_up-stairs, beard them, and nearly died of fright. ‘They started up-stairs, Gallagher first, and near the fap a stair, fixed on a pivot, rolled under Gallagher and hurled him backward, and he went to the bottom, taking the policeman with him. They both yelled, but Gallagher yelled the loudest, and his wife recognized his voice and his favorit oath. Her courage returned. She went to the head of the stairs and cried: » James, is that you ?”? James was painfully. hurt and awful mad then, and the policeman was trying to get back the breath Gallagher had squashed outof him. “No,” cried James, “iv’s not me; it’s some other fellow. Jim Gallagher was never knocked down seven- teen times in one might!” But she knew it was he, and explained matters, And then Gallagher gave the policeman $10 to say nothing about the matter, and the officer re- tired; and then Gallagher jawed his wife for two hours, and the next day went seven milgs to overtake the man who sold her the machines and kick the life nearly out of him. He admits that the things would be dreadful- ly discouraging to a burglar, though. AN OIL-REGION ROMANCE. Petroteum World.

According to a writer in the New York Times, their receipts appear to have been $60,000 and their expenses $31,000, leay- ing $29,000 for thirty representations, to be divided among all the performers. Mayer, who played Jesus, received the lion’s share, although this was barely $250. The other persons in the drama were divided into classes. those of the highest class getting about $100, and those of the lowest not more than $16,—not one-third of what common su- pernumeraries would command at our thea- tres. The players, especially Mayer, are sald to be greatiy dissatisfied with their mone tary gains. \Whil® they claim to be inspired by purely religious sentiments in their per- sonations, they are sufficiently in accord with the commercial spirit of the age to like money and to be discontented at getting so ile They complain, it is understood, the restaurateurs and innkeepers of Ober-Ammergau and Munich filled ‘their t to al -Dparses, while they, the real attraction, were very Roorly paid. The thrifty villagers of Ober-Ammerzau turned the decennial show tg, good account by peddling photographs, ,carvings, trinkets, and all sorts of mementoes ofthe theologic theatricals. ‘They, as well as io 1 innkeepers in the region round about, are persuaded that Scriptural histrionics exercise a highly righteous influence, and that they ‘should vrovided indefinitly. But Mayer jand his followers have had doubts on the ‘subject, especially since they have reckoned their mengreearnings. ‘The Bavarian Passion Play will probably continue to draw, from its infrequency and from the curiosity it ex- cites; but itvery rarely draws the same per- sons a second time. Nearly all the New Yorkers who saw it last summer thought it extremely dull, and wondered how it could prove attractive so long. They saw no sign of reverence or holiness in the parts pre- sented, having been more struck with the capacity of Mayer, as Jesus, to absorb beer than with his sacred aspirations. The Disci- les were greatly addicted off the stage to irting with the Biblical heroines, and their unprofessional manners were, on the whole, very unbecoming to persons supposed to be saturated with the sanctity of the occasion. if the original Passion Play be so stupid, its feeble imitation here would be unendurable. SOLD INTO SLAVERY. Three Negroes Sold at Public Auction in Bedford, Va. Under an Oia Vagrant Law—Intense Excitement Among the Colored Population—Re- leased by a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Bepronp, Va., Dec. 18.—The recent sale of three negroes at public auction here under an old Vagrant law created the greatest excite- ment among the negroes,not only in this sec- tion, but in other parts of the State. Those of the colered brethren who have heard of the sale have been very uneasy, and the more ignorant of them look upon it asa step to- wards the reénslavement of the colored race in Virginia. This feeling is intensified by the recent declaration of a negro candidate for office in Essex County, who has come out boldly and announced himself as being in favor of selling both white and colored men who do not pay their capitation taxes. Of course, the matter really does not amount to much. The law under which the negroes were sold is an old one, and is found In sev- eral other States, its purpose being to puta stop to vagrancy. The three negroes here were sold for three months, the purchasers ‘Messrs. John Scott and Daniel Early. Since the sale the negroes in this vicinity be- came wildly excited over the matter, and em- ployed Mr. H.C. Lowry, a prominent law- yer here, as their counsel, An appeal was at once taken from the decision of the Magistrate, under which the negroes were sold, to J: nudge Wingfield, of the Circuit Court, but he found upon examination of the Taw that he could not grant the appeal, the quriediouon ceasing with the Magistrate’s ‘ourt in such cases, This decision created still greater consternation among the ne- groes, Who now thought their race doomed, and many of then!, with moans or ominous warnings, predicted: ** Dey gwine to sell us all into slavery agin, shoo.” Their counsel -then sued out a writ of habeas corpus, which was made returenble before Judge Davis, of the County Court. The Judge now orders the negroes to be discharged on the ground that they did not fall under any of the five heads of vagrancy provided for by the stat- ute, and because the presentation on that charge was not made by the Overseer of the Poor, as required, The three negroes were toxlay accordmgly given their liberty by their new masters. From having been va- grants, they are now welcome guests in every colored house, being looked upon in the light of martyrs. Nothing has occurred in this section of the State which has so thoroughly worked up the negro race. ——— CATHOLIC ORDINATIONS. Baxtimoze, Md., Dec. 18,—In the Cathe- dral to-day Edward A.
