Then is given instructions as to where each department is to form and the exact location of the head of the column. The first department is that of Illinois, and it is to be formed ready to enter the column at 9 am. The time when the other departments are to form is given and ws generally at intervals of fifteen minutes, so that when the thirty-third and last division of the rade is ordered to be in line it will be exactly 3 p.m. Some {dea of the great proportions of this demonstration | can be obtained by glancing over the circular. | It shows that the parade starts 9 o'clock in the | morning and that it will be 3 o'clock | before the last division begins its march. The head of the column will move at 9 o'clock a.m. from the corner of ist and B streete south- west, on B street south, and will continue tho march on Ist street east to B street north, and thence on B street north, turning into Pennsyl- vania avenue on the north side of the Peace monument. ‘Thence it will continue the march to 15th street, and by aright wheel into 15th | street, then by left wheel into Pennsylvania | avenue, and thence past the reviewing etands to | Washington Circle.

Ou the Lith street side of the power honse of the Washington and Georgetown rnilroad be- tween D and E strects northwest great vaults have been excavated beneath the sidewalk. Mas- sive iron beams have been erected to support the sidewalk, metal arches being fastened be- tween the beams. In these vaults—or, more properly speaking, in the vault, for it is but one long one—a metal-iined well, about eight feet deep aud eight feet in diameter, has been made for the purpose of taking the water of the steam exhaust pipe of the power house. The greater part of the openings between the iron beams or girders has been covered by placing in po- sition the metal arches, but last night there were several openings uncovered and, strange to eny, one directly Byer the well of steaming water was #o exposed. Lights were placed in and about the piles of building materials and rubbish in the street, but. so a reporter of Tue Stan was informed this morning by an officer of the first precinct, no ropes or other barricades had been erected to prevent by from approsching the opening over the ACCIDENT. een 12. and 1 o'clock last night Mr. J.

Officers Helaz.and Settright, with the patrol wagon, were quickly on hand, and the injured man, suffering exeruciating pain, was hurried: to the Emergency Hospital. ‘There it waa dis- covered that he had been badly burned by the hot water, especially on the inner parts of the thighs and about the bedy and arms, On removing his clothing the outer skin pulled off in many places, leaving great raw spots. The shock to his nervous system was very great and the efforts of Dr. Woodward and the hospital staff were directed princi- fly to its reduction, For several hours e suffered the most intense agony, but thd pain was finally allayed to some extent. Today the unfortunete man is doing as well as can be expected, but the physicians state that his condition is a ost serious one. His friends desired to remove him to Providence Hospital this morning, but Dr. Kerr of the Emergency Hospital informed them that he was in no condition to be removed.

The most recent estimate of the capital in- Yesied in the electrical industries in the United States is €700,000,000, and of this amount $350,000.00 represents the proportion which electric lighting and power have attained: £100,000,000 is also the estimated investment in electrical supplies, of which the electric lighting and caeay appliances constitute a proportion. « intluence which the Edison and Thomp- son-Houston companies exerted in the develop- ment of the electrical industry will be further appreciated if we consider the slow progress made im this branch of science previous to the time of their orgunization. The telegraph was at that time almost the only important applica- tion to which electricity had been adapted, and, although electric lighting by meaus of the vol- taic are had been accomplished by Sit Humphry Davy as early as 181 by means of a battery 3,000 celis, it was not until 1967, when Dr. § Mens announced his invention of the self-ex- citing dynamo, that any material progress to- ward the scieuce of electric sy s made. At the Paris exhibition of 1878 the system of electric lighting invented by Jablochkotf, by means of which several of the streets of Paris lectricity, proved an incentive to inventors, which resulted in the production of the modern type of arc lamp, which was in a comparatively experimental stage at the time of the organization of the American Electric Company of New Britain. The incandescent lamp had received less attention at the hands of scientists than the arc lamp when Edison an- nounced his invention. The division of the electric current into small units had been a long-standing problem before the scientists of that day. bua the experiments previous to Edison’ vention had been in the direction of & filament of low resistance, which obviously required a prohibitive amount of copper to conduct the current for a few lamps, even over short distances. The invention of a high resist- ance filament marked the turnin, it in the history of incandescent electric lighting. Thus we see that the whole of this great in- dustry bas practically come into existence within a single decade. The men who have been making history at such a rapid rate have been so: with the present and the im- mediate future that they have paid little attene tion to the preservation of records, &c., that would not only be of interest, but of great practical value to the great army of young men who have taken up the science of electrics as a field for their life work.
