A NEW ENGRAVING MACHINE, The Hussey Keheater—English Con- trol of the Telephone—Novel Din- ner Device—Transportation —Electrical Brevities. The Electric Engraving Machine. Plectrical World: The art of engrav ing i perhaps one of the oldest in “ex- fstence, and still we find improvements being made, in it, a most recent one, es- pecially, being of such a_nature that it will no douht have considerable influ- enceoun the art in general. Attempts ‘have often been magde to substitute a machine for the engravers’ hand,. but though success has been in a measure attained, recent progross which has called to its aid electricity, has brought the engraving machine far in advance of its former position. Without enter- ing into the construction of the older machines, we will at once proceed to .describe the machine now being intro- duced by Mr. H. W. Thornton, of this city, which presents some decidedly novel features. The machine consists of a graving tool which is supported at one end of a pivoted bent lever, the other end of which carries an armature which is placed opposite the poles of a horse- shoe electro-magnet. The pattern which it is desired to reproduce, and Which we will assume to be in the form of types in this case, is held in aclamp, and placed below the rider, which sup- ports a small rod of glass (hmugh which passes a platinum “wire ending flush with its lower surface. The electric circuit coming from a battery contained the case, is let to the types, and is com- pleted through the platinum within the glass rod, passing thence to the electro- magnet and back tothe battery. It will now be readily seen that whenever the rider supporting the platinum passes over the surface of the types, the electric circuit is closed at that point; but it is interrupted when passing over the blank part of the type. The electro-magnet energized in accordance avith the contacts so made, attracts the armature and lifts the graving tool from the surface to be engraved, so that the motion of the small platinum wir passing over the types is reproduced exactly in the veriical motion of the graving tool. Now, if at the same time the substance to be engraved upon is moved back and forth while the gr: ing toolis moved upward and downward by the detion of the current, it is evi- dent that the engraving made will be an exact reproduction of the type surfaces. The additional details of the apparatus are qui simple. By moving a large handwheel to the right the platinum contact wire is passed over the types and makes its conts which are followed by the graving tnul and at the same time the substance lo be engraved upon is moved laterally, At the end of the stroke, the hand wheel is turned to the le! !t this auto- matically clpses the electrical eircuit, and lifts the graving tool clear from the material to be engraved upon. But @during the return stroke of lSm wheel, the platen, upon which the material to be engrayed upon is fastened, is moved backward a cortain distance, sothat the graving tool engraves a new line at the poxt stroke. When the ecircuit is broken, a spring brings the tool down upon the work. The apparatus is so arranged that the e ————— R raving can be increased or reduced from the original to any desired This is accomplished by means antagraph arrangement, and by oth the hoight and breadth of the engraving can be regulated, inde~ pendent of each other. Two or three s all that is required to work the ument, and the work which it aoc- complishes is of the most varied char- s we have had occasion to ob- serve. By using a aiamond tool, glass, stone and'a whole variety of materials can be engraved, and all kinds of sur- 10 straight and curved, can be worked with tho greatest ease. Among the specimens of work accomplished by the apparatus, we have seen an engrav- ing of the Lord’s prayer, done upon an agate cuff button of the size of asilver dime. The Hussey Re-Heater, Electrical World: There is probably noindustrial agent in the production and use of which there is more loss or waste, or a wider and more interesting field for the invention and application of devices for economizing cost and in- creasing efficiency, than is to be found in steam anfl in the appliances connect- ed with its use; and to-day steam enters more largely into the industrial pro- cesses carried on by mankind, and occu- pies a more important relation to the development of progress in the arts and manufactures. and in the supply of the growing demands of civilization, than any other agent of industry. Pn)huhlv the two most 1mportant mediums of lost energy to which the use of steam is now subject, and which make the heaviest drafts on the furnace fires, are the waste "gases of combustion cscuning up the chimney, and the exhaust steam blown away into the air. The Hussey re-heater has been de- vised to retain and convert to profitable use the energy hitherto lost through these two avenues, and it has met with considerable success. Its principal ap- plications are to the re-heating of ex- haust stewm, super-heating of live steam, the heating and circulation of air and heating of water, and it accom- plishes these various results absolutely without cost for fuel, by an ingenious, but simple and practical method of util- izing the heat conveyed in the gases of combustion on their way from the fur- nace to the chimney. It is well known that these gases have a temperature in the furnace of from 2,000 to 2,500 degrees, and it is a fact not perhaps so generally known that they carry into the flue, and retain for some distance from the furnace, a tem- perature of from 400 to 600 degrccs. The Hussey re-beater gathors up and imparts to thie exhaust of live steam or air passing through it a temperature within about 50 degrees of the tempera- ture of the gases in the flue, orsuch pro- portion thercof as may be_ desirable for any special purpose, and does this with- out cost for fuel. Thetemperature thus imparted by “the re-heator fo its passing contents.can be regulated to any B iee i o b periectly controbed, y means of its use uniform tem- peratures for those processes requiring regulavity and uniformity in heat can be_ accurate ly maintained. Exhaust steam leaving the cylinder of an engine at a temperature of about 212 degrees, and ith moisture, can be re- orized, and made dryl ugh the re- xtent. of the pi which \J and ela: heater any required heights or distances for heating purposes, without any appreci- able back pressure on the emgine, and in a state to do effective service in heat- ing. The u:l\ mmgm to be derived trom the use of the Hussey system in re-heat- ing live steam w be obvious to all pr fActical steam users orengineers,when understood that by means of this dm.-u live steam can be superheated to within 50 degrees of the temperature o the flue, without any additional cost, and to any desived temperature above that of the flue with buta very slight sout any inere 3 which it may be convenient to ddncv team from the boiler to the re-heater. ¥nglish Control of the Telephone, The announcement made by the post- master-general of England that the government contemplate buying up the telephone compan has naturally created the greatest excitement in tele- hone circles. The exact words used by Mr. Ralkes, were that ‘‘before long the system must be taken up by the government, and the telephone placed upon the same footing as the tele- graph.” In manyquarters this is taken to mean nothing more or less than the introduction of a telephone purchase Dbill in the forthcoming session of par- liament, but itis highly improbable that_ the actual transfer will take place until the expiration of the Bell patent, in 1890. Be this as it may, the an- nouncement was followed by a sharp rise in telephone stock, and for a time theso shares formed the centre of in- terest upon change. A Novel Dinner Device. Providence Journal: But the most novel dinner device of which I have heard recently was a mould of wine jelly in the midst of which was set an electric light., The dish had to be arranged on the table beforehand, butit was con- cealed by a big silver cover, which was in turn hidden by flowersso us to form a centrepiece to the table. When the cover was removed and the jelly, with itscluster of red and golden and purple fires was disclosed, the effect was quite tremendous. One lady, it is true, asked her escort if he didn’ t'suppose the jelly would taste clectrical, and another in eating it declared she feltas if she were swallowing o Leyden jar; but tho de- vice was really very pretty, as well as novel and striking. Electric Transportation. St. Paul Globe: A company is being formed in Baltimore to construct an electric railway between that city and Chicago. which, if it proves a success, will produce a (.Ompluto revolution in the express transportation and mail gervice, The proposed plan is to build a light elevated railroad structure twenty feetthove ground, on which cars poited at both ends are to be run. In the centor of the track is to be an upper rail, which will guide the cars and pre- vent deruilmcu(,us well as to conduct the electric current which is to form the motive power. tem of auto- matie brakes is to be provided, by which the momentum of the cars will be checked as they approach their destina- tio 1t is claimed that by this means packages can be carried from Baltimore to Chicago in less than two hours. is only designed to car and mail matter, l)uL i should prove a su why it should not ot iA176a S0 (o ing all kinds of fr t, and even sengers, provided travelers would bo willing to risk their necks at that rate of speed. Electrical Brevities, Mr. Foree Bain, of Topeka, Kan., has just completed a cloth cutting mac hine of very novel design. The knifo is op- erated by a small motor attached and it estimated that it will eut forty or fifty suits at one time. After of study on the question of devising electric measuring instruments which shall be permanentin their char- actar Sir Wm, Thomson has at last de- termined on the oft-presented plan of opposing the action of the electrical current by gravity, sothat all the errors due to the umphmuun. of permanent maugnets, ivon, springs, ete.,are avoided. 1e monls o{ St. Bernard, famous for their rescues of lost travelers in the snow have lately added to their faithful dogs & more modern assistant. We now read that the telephone is made use of by the brotherhood and that the Hos- pice is in communication with the vil- age of St. Pierre ou the northern side, and with the nearest village on the H'll- ian side also. A French inventor has applied the miniature electric incandescent lamp to watch dials; the current being supplied by a small pm-kut battery, The dial is of ground glass and the lamp behind it lights it up, tho effeqt being enhanced by a flat protector. key is included in the circuit to close the current when the light is required. It is obvious that there are circumstances in which such a device will be useful, and where it is inexpedient to strike a light to see ‘the time—such places asmines or in mili- tary operations. The apparatus is equally applicable to clocks. T MUSICAL AND DRAMATIO. Mme. Gerster has gone on a tonr with the Campanini Concert company. Tondon is to have a new theatre for light opera that will cost §250,000, Miss Alice King Hainilton is the latest “society belle” who has joined the stage. Fontana, the leader of the younger Italian poets, has’ written the libretio for the new ballet, There are twenty-six first-class theaters and opera houses open in New York this season. The New York Mirror will publish its Dramatic Annual for 1888 on Saturday, March 24, Florence Wood only daughter of Mrs. John ‘Wood, made her professional debut last Tues- day in London. The Salsbury Troubadors will shortly begin a tour extending, from the extreme nurthwesv. to Texas. Jdwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett begin an engagement of three weeks at the Baldwin theatre, San Francisco. Daniel Bandmann, the dime tragedian, has written a dramatization ' of his own from “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Hoyt's *“Tin Soldier” i§ making big money this season, having outrun even ‘A Rag Baby” in the race for popular favor. Fanny Davenport will begin a summer sea- son on the Pacific slope, under Al Hayman’s management, at the Baldwin, San Francisco, May 14. The public takes kindly to plays which have water-tank scenes, There is always a hope that bad actors will be drowned in them some nigat. Tho Booth-Barrett company will go to London_the season after next or in 1890. They will play a fifteen v ecks’ engagement at Henry Irving's Lyceum theater. red Marsden is writing a_new play for H.'R.

It is said that Mr, Irving's profits will amount to £50,000. “My Sweetheart”—Minnie Palmer—will make herfarewell appearance for the present in the “land of the free” on May 1. During the summer she will go to England, and in H\‘]!lt‘mbcx' will begin her London’ engage- ment, Libition at Eras Dill has been discovered of the Kil- heater Royal in '03 announcing the performanco of “Fhe tragedy of ‘Hamlet,’ originallywritten and composed by the cele- brated Dun Hayes, of Limerick, and inserted in Shakespeare's works." The new comic opera, “Dorothy tinues to meet with pronounced suc ) The work itself is enjoyable in both its music and libretto, and derives much additional at- tractiveness from its cxcellent rendering by J.

Her father's death was an- nounced to her the morning after her debut. ermann, the magician, is_contemplating edly exhilarating trip this summer and one which, 1t may be saig, is not likely to be- come the fashion. He will, in other words, take a stateroom on Chevalier Bolondin's back on the occasion of the great rope walk- er's first ascension at St. George, Staten Island. Anold-time friend of Mr. Edwin Booth, speaking of the tragedian said: ‘‘His nature is the most unique of any man inpublic life. is indifference to momey, society and the things which the world ranls as pleasures is absolute and definite. ¥'ew understand him and he tries not to be understood. Heis really the Hamlet of the nineteenth cen- tury.” Tony Pastor's theatre has heen a regular school for comedians, Among the many graduates that the genial Tony has turned loose upon the stage from his tutelage are Nat Goodwin, Lillian Russell, George S. Knight, Joe Emmet, Evans and Hooy, Neil Burgess. Baker and Farron, Thatcher, Prim- rose and West, Jacques Kruger, Denman Thompson and Gus Williams, Nat Goodwin's first attempt at running a company of his own was made in Augusta, Me. He organized his troupe in Boston and ‘went up to the capital of the Bay state to play for one whole night. He thought well of his play and of his company, and was pretty confident of success. When he re- turned to the “‘Hub,” however, ho appeared somewhat downcast. **Well, 'Nat, how did the audience like the play?’ ‘asked'a_friend. Nat hesitated for a moment and then answered: “Well, Ithink he would have liked it if he had waited for the second act.” “The Mystery of a Hansom Cab” is draw- ing large audiences to the Princess’ Theatre in London, and Miss Grace Hawthorne seems to bave struck a bonanza. The novel from which it is dramatized has had a wider sale in England than any book since ‘‘Called Back.” The author is Fergus Hume, a young Australian journalist, who has collaborated with Mr. Arthur Low in writing the play. The Australian scenery is said_to be correct pictures, particularly a scene in Melbourne during the intense heat of an Australian Christmas, and a banker’s villa built on piles, as is the custom in that treacherous soil, has caught the admiration of the Lomluuorfi ‘who also seem highly pleased with the hansom cabs and horses that roll about the stage. In *‘La Tosca” Fanny Davenport wears a magnificent display of precious stones and ornamental jewelry. In the collection is a gold belt of glittering mosaic work after the rococo style of art, It contains 1.300 stones, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and pearls, weighing not less than 500 carats. “This does not include a pair of 23-carat emer- alds. There are two hinges to the belt, and the clasp in front is fastened by a concéaled hook. The belt is said to _be worth between £30,000 and $40,000. Another belt is of solid siluer, also in the rococo style of decoratioh. A third picce is an ornament for the hair, composed of five five-pointed sf , made of diamonds, in platinum sotting, Next to the florid belt first described stands in point of attractiveness a diamond and ruby necklace, size Tourteed inches. There are soven fes- toons, with large pendent stones ranging from one-and-a-half to eight carats in weight. The value of the nccklace is said to be $12,000, B — EDUCATIONAL. Twenty-eight women are studying at Col- umbia college. A woman’s college with teachers from England has been established at Tokio Japan, Edmund Gosse is lecturing _at Trinity col- ge, Cambridge, Mass., on *‘Literary Criti- sm of the Age of Queen Anne.” Thack- was the great authority in literature of hat age. Dr. D. C. Comstock, secretary of the Faculty of the New Yor Ik College of Vet~ Supgeons, is one of the best authori- ties in America on the mental attributes of tho horse. Prof, Greenough White, of the University of the South, Sewanec Ténn., s resigned his position us professor of ool e httita 10 that institution, and is now at his hopme in Cambridge, Muss, Tho people of this country go to Europe to complete their education. In China and Japan they come to _this country. There are seven Japanese studeats at the Michigan university. The rapidity with which Anglo-Saxon lit- eraturo is pouring into Japan is illustrated by the statement that 85,000 English and 119,000 American books were imported by the sub- jects of the Mikado last year, fassar collego has conferred the honorary degreo of LL.

Wheeler, and other New York ladios are raising a scholarship_fund of 6,000, whose interest shall be used to pay the college ex- penses of the New York woman who cach year shall pass the best examination for en- trance to Harvard. There are a number of women studying medicine at the Belgian universities wishing to obtain situations in apothecaries’ shops. The pharmaceutical course is the shortest and in some respects the easiest, and it is far cheaper than all other courses. A number of young girls who have passed the pharmaceutical .examination have fascinated the hearts of country physic.ans, so that the husband prescribes, the wife makes up the prescription, and all the profits are kept in the family. An industrial school in Essex, England, makes a rcauest that_has a bearing on all sewing schools. If dressmalcers would send, through their lady customers, odds - and ends of good material, or if housekeepers would gather up useless remnants,which the school- girls would make up into doll’s clothes, cush- ions, patchwork, etc., aboon would bo con- ferred upon the institution. The pupils are clever at making up such things, but, for want of proper material, the objects manu- factured are often useless for sale. Bx-President McCosh, of Princoton col- lege, is now devoting himself to literary work. He is at work on a volume to be en- titled “First or Fundamental Principles,” which he thinks will be the most onduring of his achievenents in philosophy. An effort is being miade to have him write a book of personal memoirs, giving anccdotes of his experiences in Scotland, Ireland and Amer- ica, and pen picture of the famous people he has known, Itis probable that the next few years will see much thatis entertaming and instructive from the pen off the celebrated educator. The women of Russia are more ambitious for a liberal education than their sex in any other European country. In 1876 there were 779 female students in the universities,the ma- jority being the daughters of noble political and military_ ofticials. ddition to these there aro several hundred Russian ladics studyiug at non-Russiun universitics, ‘prin- cipail vitzerland and in Paris.

His text hooks were designed to introduce the youth of country to the subject in which they might afterwards help on this great work. Iis studies of Darwinianism were to enable him to gain a r comprehension of the ation, and having found upon trial that it was of service to himself in this work, procalmed the fact boldly to others.
