Tle had to overturn a thousand gheets to find o missing page, and eve- ry sheet he turned made him madder, until, growing furious, he threw the bundle down and then upturned the very one he wanted, It was the last age, of course. This provoking state of things often occurs in a thousand dif- ferens ways, Look for anything and among many things and it is the last thing to come to hand. But to those of methodic turn the perplexity never comes, nor to men of observation who closely watch all things there is no con- fusion or delay in knowing where to find them. 1t is So in everything; even in pain and misery. There is scarcely an individual sufferer who strikes the best thing first. At first he begins by thinking it will cure itself, and suffers on with groundless hove. By this time it has become a chronic agony from a slight disturbance to the functions. He tries some simple home relief which never mitigates. It isthe strangest ev- idence of this perversity to find among a thousand letters self-same pro- crastination. 1 tried num- berless and then Tried many until” —“All sorts were tried and finally”— Yes, all sorts were tricd and finally they tried the bestand only cure. Why make the best, known as such the world over, the last tried, meanwhile suffering the ocutest agony, when it can be had of wvery druggist? Many have suffered 40, 30, 20, 15 years with chronic rheuma- tism, when St. Jacobs Oil is just at hand around the corner, across the way, per- baps right next door, and still they suf- fer on. Others have used the best thing first and found permanent cure at once. ‘‘My wife was paralyzed by neu- ralgia so that she could not walk a step. I bought a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, and after she had used the contents she could walk about, and 1ts continued use completely cured her. Jos. P. Murphy, Springfleld, Tenn., Oct. 17, 1886, *“I suf- fered a long time with neuralgia in the head and prostrated at times.I gave Bt.Jacobs Oil a fair trial and am entirely cured. No return of pain. Jeremiah Eney, 1812 W. Lombard st., Balto., Md., June 11, 1887.” “I was nearly crazed with neuralgia from a tooth, and tried everything T thought would cure with no relief. I bought St. Jacobs Oil, sat- urated a rag with it, tied it on my face, and in two hours the pain left me. No return. Henry Samuel, Jr., Collings- wood, N.

The Fluid at a Banquet-— Making ‘Wire Harmless, A LAMP TRIMMER'S ESCAPE Lightning in India—Welding — Rail- way Conduits—A Soap Battery— Coast Signals — Electrical Brevities, Electricity at a Banquot. The fifth annual banquet of the Chi- cago real estate board was held at the Grand Pacific hotel the other day, and 225 covers were laid in the large ban- queting hall. One of the local papers in deseribing the table decorations, has the following: *‘The table decorations were of the most superb and eye-rav- ishing character. Each table had for its center piece a jardiniere of white and yellow roses, whose pure tints were offset by a hundred sprays of hyacinths and ferns innumerable. As for the long table, at which the speakers and promi- nent guests sat, it was enchantingly adorned. Miature houses nestling amid a veritable forest of flowers, the houses moss-covered and glistening with atmospheric dew, and as if to sur- mount this chimax and render the orua- mation yet more unique, from the part- ing centers of the rosesshone. with cap- tivating radiance, a tiny incandescent light, the battery that controlled it be- ing hidden beneath the table. This is a new form ofelectrical apparatus, and this is its advent in the mann desig- nated. The battery is technically known as the ‘storage.’ Making Electric Wire Harmless, A device has been tested in Cincin- nati for rendering a broken electric wire harmless to any one who may come in contact with it, This 1s an instru- ment attached to each of the main wires leading from the generators and by its action, whenever a break in the wire occurs, the current is checked and an alarm bell as sounded. Its operation so far, ig reported satisfactory, and 1f it continues to do the work intended it will certainly lessen the dangers from this cause. A Narrow Escape. San Francisco Call: Three men car- ried the stiff form of Robert W. du Rose alight trimmer for the California ele- tric light company into the receiving hospital the other day. ‘‘He must be dead,” was the involnn- tary ejaculation of one of thom as they laid the form uvnon the operating table. And it did seem as if such was the case to those who were present. Du Rose’s face was ashen in hue, and his body and limbs were as stiff as if they were of iron. A touch betrayed [that the skin was as cold as ice. When the eyelids were raised by Steward Koosher noth- ing but the whites of the eyes could be seen. No trace of a pulse beat could be felt at the wrist. ““He was fixing one of the electric lamps at Washington-street, wharf, and got a shock of electricity,” explained one of the men who had carried Du Rose in, hurriedly. Steward Koosher lost nota second. He guickly opened the y R shirt front, and then, grasping arms, worked them vigorously like pump-hunale He pressed ~them, upon the breast of the unconscious man and raised them over his head. Fora moment or so no visible sign of life was apparent, but shortly a tremor was seen to go through the frame as the quick- ness of the motion was increased. ~Soon a faint gasp came trom between the clenched teeth, and it was evident that the life spirit that had seemingly fled had not entirely gone. Steward Koosher persisted in his treatment, and other signs of life were visible. Dr. Buckley then arrived, and the yo man was removed to a cot in the hospital. Under treatment he was soon able to open his eyes, but there was a lack- lustre stare inthem. His body twitched nervously from the effects of the elec- tricity with which it was cha il *Dr.” Buckley, however, p his chance of recovery as good. From those persons who took Du Rose to the hospisal, the facts of the accident were gleaned. Du Rose was going his rounds placing. carbons in elect; light globes. Atthe entrance to Washington street wharf a globe hangs from the shed, Du Rose stretched up and caught it with his pinchers to pull it down within reach. As his pinchers closed down vpon it the current, which he did not know was on, passed into him. It was so powerful that he could not let go the pinchers, but sank down,dragging the lamp and wire, Several bystanders rushed to him, and he was considered dead. He was placed in a wagon and driven at once to the hospital, Had it notbeen for the prompt action of Steward Koosher,DuRose would undoubtedly have died. He is a married man, and lives with his wife and child on Mission street,near Fifth. The manager of the electric light company visited the hospital, He stated that it was not a usual thing to have the » current on at that hour of the Du Rose’s clothes were wet, as were also his feet, and as he stood upon a water-sonked wharf, he was all the more susceptible to the shock. “The accident,” said an official of the California Electric Light company to a Call reporter last night, “admits of a very simple explanation. Our system consists of two sets of wires, one of which we opdrate during the day and the other at night, From the first is de- rived the power for the running of ma- chinery, elevators, etc., in various parts of the city, while the second set is used almost entirely for lighting purposes, supplying the current for the street lamps, ete. The engines are kept in motion all the time, but the current is eotirely cut off from the night wires during the day time. This is the period during which® the lamps are repaired and renewed, aud the company em- ployes a number of linemen for the pur- POSC. “Du Rose is an_experienced electric- ian, and has been in the employ of the company six years. In_handling the lamp to-day hé proceeded in the usual manner, acting, of course, on the sup- josition that the current was cut off, Jnfortunately one of the day wires got crossed - with a night wire at the corner of Post and Kearny streets,and the cur- rent of electricity was transferred to it, thus completing a circuit, in which a lamp at the Washington street wharf was included, “The morning was very wet, and the ground where Du Rose stood was con quently damp. No sooner had pincers touched the lamp than the eir- cuit was ablished and the full force of the current passed through his frame throwing him to the ground. Its eff¢ is similar to that observed in a galyanic battery when the cu 1t becomes pow- erful, It is almost impossible to ves move the hands from the contact.. The pincers had to be torn from Du Rose's fingers to break the circuit. Had the ground been dry, however,” or had he d. nounced es on a board he would have i and unaware of the beeh standin been uninju crossed lines, “The effect of thé eurrent on his frame is peculinr, however,” continued the offioial. - ““It is not. unusual for- the electricity to affect a man’s eyes, but that it should be €0 violent as to sus- send animation and yet not destroy life is something we have had no experience of. Some few months ago one of our linemen, while repairing a light at the corner of Market and Fourth streets, accidentally touched a_ badly_insulated wire, He was precipitated to the ground and badly injured, but finally recovered, the only visible effect of the shock being a very pronounced squint, which has never left him since.” Du Rose was removed last evening to St. Mary’s hospital and is reported by last accounts to be on & fair way to re- covery. Electric Lighting in India. The electrical engineer in_charge of a Gulcher plant at Benares, India, sa, A good deal of valuable awe attached me as the sahib who controlled and had in subjection this mysterious force and its appliances, and a dimmer halo sur- rounded the heads of my men, in the eyes of their countrymen. Cominginto the machine room at night T would often find the little Mohammedan lad, Ghazi who had charge of the dynamo bearings and brushes, the center of a crowd of wenlthy Mahajans and Babus from the city, who would be humbly questioning himas to the wonderful properties of the machine, and he arrogantly giving some theory of his own &4s gospel, and rm'kctin;z annas for magnetizing their knives on the magnot poles. Electrical Welding. 1 World: : The processes of metals by means n} electricity have, it secins, taken two entirely dif- ferent directions, each of which is claimed to have its special advantages. The electric are, which has for a long time been employed for the fusion of refractory materinls to extract the metals contained within them, is now employed in the work of joining like and _dissimilar metala, or, in other words, welding them. This process seems o have considerable field for ap- plication, and instances are veported in which repairs have been effected by its means in a very short time which could not perhaps have been accomplished in any other way without considerable difficulty. Weare also informed that, contrary to first im- pressions which might be formed thereon, the process leaves the metal ractically unchanged in its character. 'his, however, has still to be proved, and there is evidence to the contrary. Attention isalso called to the fact that it makes considerable difference which terminal the object to be welded is made, whether positive or negative; and it has been found necessary to em- ploy the carbon auxiliary electrode as the positive in order to prevent the oxidation of the metal worked upon. In contradistinction to this process, that of Prof. Elihu Thompson shows the flexi: bility of all the applications of electri ity. - Here, as is well_known, the arc is intentionally avoided, and the heat effects are obtained by the use of power- ful currents sent through the material at the points to be joined. Of the future of this process, of which many have already seen the results, there can be no question. It has already been re- duced to such a practical form that its general introduction is now a matter of comparativdly but a few months. These processes, taken in connection with the electric furnaces now employed, show that a vast field is being opened for new development. The ground has alréady been broken and sown. Electric Railway Conduits. FElectrical World: While experiments in applying the storage battery to the propulsion of street cars are being ac- tively pushed, those who have pinned their faith to the conduit system have not been idle. Quite recently there has been put into commercial operation such a system which, according to re- port, is working successfully. We re- fer to the electric railway in operation in Allegheny. The promoters of this system have stendlzml‘),v clung to their opinion that the conduit system is the only one suitable for city traffic, and they claimed to have removed all the difficulties which such a system pre- sents. [t is plain that with "ample pro- vision for drainage and cleaning of the conduit, nothing ought to stand -in the way of the success of a conduit s so carefully and scientifically worked out. The small loss of current which is said o be shown by actual experiment at Allegheny is evidence that the ous points hiwve been well considered. A Soap Battery. Mgsrole says in the Electric Many different substances have been proposed for making dry, or rather moist batters such as sand, saw dust or plaster saturated with an exciting chemical like salammoniac. I have found o cheap and eflective way of making a battery of this kind, consist- ing of common soap dissolved in boiling vater together with a small amount of bran and caustic soda or potash. The mixture is put in a jar while warm with a large carbon pole and an amulgamated zine rod. When cold it sets something liko jelly and makes a battery that will not readily evaporate or slop over. Electric Signals for Scouts. Philadelphia Press: James F. Me- Laughlin, an electrician, was in the Girard house last night, and enter- ed agroup of friends in electrical nce and more wonderful results that are yet to be attained. In speaking of GovernorHill’s recent message on capital executions, he told of several suggestions made by electri- cal appliances and then switched on the subject of a new invention for signal- ling during the time of 3 “‘Briefly, the scheme is this,” he said. “The scouts or signal officers carry in their knapsacks six small incandescent lights of the different primary colors. These are connected with a very fine wire with a small battery in the aunp- sack. Attached to the small globesthat inclose the lights is a very small oval electrical motor, operated by an inde- pendent battery. When one scout wishes to communicate with another, he sends oneglobe high into the air and then turnson the elecric fluid that illuminates it. By the use of the dif- ferent colored globes and by combina- tions a couversation of any length can pe carried onby night at long distances. The invention will be patented in Europe, an1 an effort will be made to in- troduce it into the differentEuropean armies, as well as into the alleged army in this country. The Electric Wonders, An electrie dog-cart b been aston- ishing the visitorsas well as the natives of Brighton, England, It is dri by an electric motor, which its power from sixteen cells of a storage It is stated that in orde the apparatus light enough, scarcely sufficient power has been givin it, so that, although it suns nine miles an hour on asphalt, it can only go four miles an howr on soft macadam, and re- fuses to climb hills with asteeper grade than one to thirty when loaded with two passengers., Affected His Eyes. A curious aceident is veported in the Leadon Lancet, which may serve as & warning to electriciams, Anelectrician, twenty-four years old, while engaged in making o ations of a very powerful electric.are, refmoved the usoal - protecs tion from the eyes in order to make' a better examination. His eycs were thus exposed to the action of the light for about four minutes; Nothing abnormal was noticed following this exposure un= til about four h@urs subsequently, when, on awakening m a sound sleep, he e painin and about the eyes, great irftolerance of light, and inability to sleep. The patient’s own statement was, “Lam stone blind.” Five days after the accident he was still suf- fering from acute pain and dread of light, which was overcome sufficiently to permit an examination by aten per cent. solution of coacine. The anterior es of both cornme were affected. ght was dotted all over with small definite ulcers. The left had six such ulcers arranged in pairs of three rows disposed vertically. The appearance of these ulcers was similar to that pre- sented by by corneal ulceration which occurs in states of perverted innerva- tion of the eye. ~The ophthamoscope r vealed nothing abnormal. Under ap- vropriate treament he finally completely recovered, New Use for, Lamps. A French_inventor has applied the miniature electric incandescent lamp to wateh dials; the current being supplied by a smail pocket battery. The dial is ground glass and the lamp behind it lights it up; the'effect being enhancod by o flat veflector. A key is included in the circuit to close the curre the light is requived. ‘The apparatus is eqpally applicable to clocks. Killed by an Electric Wire. Last night, says a dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat from Memphis, Tenn., when the electric lights had just been turned on, a half dozen lads began experimenting with one of the win that had been attached to a discarded Light. Instead of wrapping the tree end of the wire around the top of the pole, the workmen wound it around within a few feet of the ground and within easy reach. Several of the boys touched the wire with their bare hands and were more or less severely shocked, Finally one of the number, a colored youth named Will Somerville, touched 1t with a piece of hoop iron about six inches long, which he had picked up near by, The instant that he did so_he fell headlong, avose, staggered a few steps and fell again. He was picked up in an unconscious condition, and died in a few minutes. The coroner’s jury found criminal negligence on the part of the Brush Electric Light company. Locating a Bullet by Electricity. Philadelphia Times: At the meeting of the college of physicians last might, Dr. John Girdner, of New York, ex- hibited, by invitation of the college, for the first time, his telephonic probe, and explained 1ts mode of application. The instrument is used to locate a bullet or other metal substance that has become lodged in a bodys It is operated by the natural electricify in the patient. It consists of three parts—one a sort of audiphone, which is placed over the physician’s ears, o steel probe, and a steel bulb. The bulb is placed in the patient’s mouth and the probe is in- serted in the swound. If the probe strikes a piece of bone it makes no re- sponse, but if it strikes the metal which caused the wound it gives distinct clicking sounds. Electrical Brevities. Electricity is now applied to blacking shoes. The proposition made by the New York Maratime Exchange for an inter- national conference to devise means of diminishing dangers at sea by an im- proved system of signaling suitable for fast steam travel is being favorably received. The Daily Indicator reports that the largest holder of Western Union stock states positively that the next dividend will be at the rate of six per cent. per annum. The test offices of the Western Union company this week show receipts of $193,500, an increase in seven days of $84,400. An Eau Claire (Wis.) boy strolled into the Brush electric company’s establish- ment and went to prodding the dynamo with a button-hook. The latter was drawn out of his hand,and short-circuit- ed the machine in such a way as to burn out the armature. It will cost at least 3400 to repair the machine. The youth will be laid up for some time from the effects of the shock he received. The telephone is being largely em- ployed on the German railways, thirty of which have already adopted it either tentatively or otk se. The most favorable results have been obtained in using it on branch lines, where it is now employed almost exclusively. A large number of devices have been gned to overcome the humming of vires. These ‘“‘anti-hums,” as they are called, ave mostly based upon the prin- ciple of interposing springs which tak, the strain of the line wire and which v vibration. Several forms of *‘antihum” are sold by dealers in vical supplies. A lineman of an electric light com- pany in Springfield, Mass., found in the glass globe of an electric light the body of a small gray squirrel burned toa crisp. Itis supposed thatthe animal had been attracted by the brilliant glow to the topef the tall pole where the light was and had fallen into the globe by accident. At Albany, N. Y., in the house of as- sembly, Mr. Finn introduced a bill to make the charges of a telephone com- panies in New York and Brooklyn $6 per month for each telephone. A Vienna engineer named Fischer has just taken outa patent fora new smoke-abating .process, He proposes, by means of electricity, to condense the s0lid part of the gmoke as it _arises from the coal* the cgibon thus solidified fall- ing back into the furnace, A broken teléphone wire fell across an electric lightgvire at Buffalo, N.

A colored porter passing took hold of the wire to pull it but of the way, but re- ceived a severe shock and died before he could be removed to the hospital. As the city has failed to enforce its ondinance about putting the wires under round, it is smd that the friends of the porter will bring suit against the city for damages.

This mix- ture, while warm, is poured into a jar containing a large carbon pole and an amalgamated zine rod. When cold the battery ‘‘sets” after the manner of a jelly, and consequently will not readily evaporate or snill over. According to the Electrical Review medicine may be introduced into the human system by electricity. Theelee- trodes of a battery are saturated with the medicine and applied locally to the skin. Experiments show that there is an actual absorption of the medicine into the system.

Both considered them worthless; but a woman hates to part with anything, so she put them away.
