IN THE ELECTRICAL FIELD. How the Fluld Oirculates Through the Industrial World. ELECTRIC LIGHTING IN MEXICO fhe Numerous Uses to Which the In- vention of Valeabeston Can be Put—Sewerage Purifica- tion — Brovities. Electrie Lighting in Mexico, A regular correspondent of the Dos- ton Herald sends that journal the fol- lowing from the City of Mexico! The use of the clectric light began here a ghort time back with the employment of the Brush are lamp for street illumin- ation, the introducers being the Gas ond Electric Light company. which, having its sharcholders in England, il- juminatos this high perchod city with a gas made of rosin from tho mountains, brought in by wild looking Indians, so near is the connection of civilization and barbariem hereabouts. From the arc light to the incandescent was a nat- ural stop forward and now we have these €ystoms engaged 1n strenuous competi- tion. The Swan, Thomson-Houston, Xdison, Crompton and Fort Wayne Jen- ney. Of late there has been much competition among shopkeepers in se- curing the incandescent light for their show windows and the Edison and Swan may be scen 80 used. The Gas and Electric Light company are the con- trollers of the Swan patent, the Thom- gon-Houston is in charge of a Mexican commercial house importing American machinery, the Edison is handled by a Mexican firm, the Crompton by an En- glish machinery and contract house, and the Fort Wayne Senney by an American house. The electric lighting fever is spread- ing to other cities in the republic, and the rivalry of the competing firms in- sures to dwol\lon} lnrthc interior ci {:s a rompt su of information regarding Ehc n&rlmpgl’;loctrlc lighting. In the postoffice and other public places I have of late noticed the Kdison lamps and they give much satisfaction. The Gas and Electric Light company is ‘putting in the Swan, with the guarantee that the monthly bills of its castomers shall not exceed their gas bills. I might re- mark, in passing, that gas is served here at the rate of 7 in silver, or about $5.25 in gold, per thousand feet. This fact ought to stop the grumbling of the 8ood Bostonese when their bills come in, and 1 may also say that the Mexican meter is just as industrious, just as un- flinching in the discharge of its duty to the gaslcompany as is the Boston gneter. The cost of incandescent lighting may ‘be imagined when it_is said that coal costs $20a ton silver, or 815 gold, and wood 812 per cord, or §9 gold. ~ In fact, electric lighting is very costly, but the Mexican, who, when they want a good thing, are willing to pay for it, no mat- ter what the bill is, are taking to electricity in a most Surprising manner. I will confess that a year ago I wrote that incan- ndescent lizhiing would not be suc- ful here on account of the necessar- ily extravagant cost. I was wrong, and - make hasto to acknowledge myself a false prophet. “*At this altitude,” as we begin to re- mark when commenting on the eccen- tricities of American envoys—at this al- titude, let me say, the electric light isa rfect illuminant. It sends its rays bhrough this clear mountain air a good deal farther than is the case in Boston, or, for that matter, at Vera Cruz down on the sea level. Itisa project of the ayuntamiento, or city government, to introduce, by and by, the tower system for lighting Mexico, and it ought to be a success, the city being level and the atmosphere perfec But, just now, the city fathers are paying $400,000 lwcr an- num on the drainags of the Vall terprise, aud, as the City of Mexi uot go into debt—clearing up its bills at the end of each year—there is no dispo- sition to go into unjustifiable extrava- gances. Already the are lights on the principal streets have made the city safor, and have added to the public con- venience. And itmay be said that the incandescent light has come to stay. Another sign of modern Mexican pro- grese, Electricity as a Prime Mover. In an admirable popular article on the electric motor and its applications, which appears in Scribner’s Magazine of this month, Mr. I". L. Pope rightly draws attention to the ignorance which provails in the popular mind in refer- ence to the trye place of the electric motor. Thus he shows that the idea that tho electric motor will be employed 10 propel vessels across the Atlanticand perform other work of a similar kiud is not baséd on sound seientifi iple He suys truly that elect plication to machinery is ne a source of power, but is merely a con- venient and ocasily managed form of But he goes further, and re- motor is at best only a secondary motor which must de- rive its power from some other primary motor, as the steam engine, the turbine, ete. This, howev seems to us to be somewhat misleading. While in the present state of the industrial applica- tion of the electsic motor this scems true, it would have been well to have wdded a clause to the effect that the pres rapid strides in thermo-electricity may at an early date put the electric motor an the same footing as the steam engine when viewed in that light, But, on the other hand, the electric motor must in its way be admitted to be as much a prime mover as the steam engine, the water wheel or the gas engine, all of which are considered by competent authorities to come under the category of “prime movers;” that is, machinery for converting any of the natural forces into meéchanical work, The right of o place for the electric motor among the prime movers can have no higher ackuowledgment than that of the cclebrated Rankine, who, in hi book entitled “The Steam Engine’— Put which 1is, in lity, a treatise on pritie movers—treats successively of the water wheel, the steam cngine, tho hot air and gas enginé, and finally of the electric motor. Heunce, while it must be admitted that the heat gener- ated by the combustion of coal will probably continue to betho prime power employed, the position of the elcetrig 041 with respect to the direct utilizn- tion of that power may be changed at no distant aate, And, besides, the elec- trie battery 1s to-ddy, and has for a long time been, the source of energy for the electric motor as a in e Sewage Purification. The Mctropolitan board of works, of Londea, has consented to allow an ex- poriment to be made on & large scale With the process of sewage purification by electricity lately invented by Mr. Webster, says a correspondent of the Electrie World. "It is much to be hoped that the results will be of a sugeossfu character, and if #o, it would appear to open up a field for the application of electrical engineering to which it would be difficult to assign a limit. The question of the disposal of sewage has, gince the passing of an act of parliment forbidding the pollution of rivers, be- come o very pressing one in this coun- try, and many towns have gone to enormous expense in this matter; while the results attained are often by no menns satisfactory. A great deal of interest has been aroused by the publication of Prol. Bl Thomson’s method of rendering v the phases of an alternating current. The nfethod is unqunsti(m:\hl( an ex- tremely beautiful and ingenious one, and seems likely to lead to important results. It is possible, however, that the detaild of the arrangement are sus- ceptible of improvement by doing away with the levers altogether and adopting a device similar to that of Lissajous in his well known method of combining the vibrations of tuning forks. The question of recording the shape of alter- nating current waves had already met with some attention in this country, and Mr. Swinburne has a device, which is not yet ready for publication, in which the dynamo is made to draw its own current waves upon a strip of paper in a permanent form. Elecotric Safety Lamps. Electrical World: More than two thousand electric lamps are_now in use in the coal mines of England and we are told that miners are in favor of the change, as they benefit considerably by the increased illumination. It is many years ago. says Industries, that it was suggestested that our conl mines be lit by ulectriol?, but the use of portable lamps for this purpose has only recently been introduced. We hope that many companies will see the advantage of this method of illumination over the older and more cumbrous forms of safety lamp, and that an extended use of elec- fricity in our coal mines may be a means of diminishing explosions. There isa disadvantage attending the use of in- candescent lamps in mines, inasmuch as thoy offer no indications of the pres- ence of fire damp. It has been found, however, by Mr. Liveing, thata red- hot platinum wire glows more brightly in air contaminated with fire damp than in pure air. and this fact has been recently utilized so as to afford & convenient in- dicator for the presence of fire damp in mines. As the wire can be heated by the current from the same accumulator as supplies the lamp, no additional en- ergy.or expense is incurred, and we learn from experiments with this "F. aratus, much better and more reliable indications are afforded of the presence of an explosive mixture than when a Davy safety lamp is the only guide eim- ployed. A Canine Compliment. “Perhaps the greatest compliment over received by any electric light com- pany is that nightly tendered to the 'homson-Houston plant by a yellow dog,” writes a correspondent ~ from Canon City, Col. ‘“‘Regularly taking his position under the bright rays of one of our street lamps,'he proceeds to stretched himself out with all the de- light that a dog exhibits in basking in the sun. It is amusing to see him,upon being disturbed, seek the opposite side of the streat, look up at the lamp as if calculating the brightest spot, then re- lapse into slumber, as though he were actually sunning himself, England and the Channel Cables. The negotiations between the French and England governments for the joint working of the submarine cables across the English channel have progressed so far that no doubt whatever is now en- tortained but that a satisfactory work- ing arrangement will be arrived at. The French government are so far com- mitted to the proposals of the English government, that they distinctly de- cline to consider the question of any prolongation of the eoncession to the Submarine Telegraph company. The English government have beén equally firm, the final resolution of the cabinet just communicated to the Submarine company setting iorth that having thoroughly examined the question, they have “‘decided not to grant a pro- longation of the company’s license to land cables on British shores, and not to renew after January 12, 1886, the working agreement between the post- master-general and the Submarine com- pany.” The communication really con- cludes the matter so far as the company is concerned, asif they cannot ‘“‘land cables on British shores” it puts an end to their business. The only hope of the company lay in their being able to pur— suade the French government to thwart the scheme of the British postoflice. So far ns cables are concerned, the four which connect with France are in good order, recent repairs having made them almost as good as new. The two singld cables to Fravcoe now used by the American telegraph companies are also working very w ll. The two Belgian eables are in o fair condition, and pos sibly, taking all these facts into consid- eration, the British treasury may make amooe generous offer to the company than would otherwise have been the case. Electric Railway in Richmond. New York Post: The Sprague elec- trie railway was put in successful opera- tion at. Richmond, Va., recently. This road, which is an entively new one, has been “built by a New York syndicate, and is remarkable not only for the ex- tremely difficult conditions met with, but as being the most extensiveapplica- tion of electricity to street railway pro- pulsion in existence. The total trackage of the Richmond street railway is about twelve and a half miles. {L rregular course, and reaches tho principal parts of the city. About nine miles of street are embraced in it. The central sec- tion is double track for a distance of something over two miles, a part being laid on paved streets and the balance on macadam or unpaved streets, while all the extension and branth lines are on unpaved stroets, many of them in clay soil, where it would be almost an ity to operate horses. The track section partly encircles the old state eapitol and presents great difficulties. This part of the line, in a distance of less than 1,000 feet hason both east.and west-bound tracks, four curves, the inner rails of the west-bound track being about 27, 80, 40,and 80-foot vadius, The power necessary to turn these sharp curves with a track of standard gauge and with o wheel basis of six feet, is much increased by the fact that grades are encountered on the curves as high as 7 per cent, and the lay of the street has required some of the outer rails to be some inches below the inner one. The electric circuit consisted of two parts—the overhead and the ground circuits, each being of compound character, a technical description of which is omitted, as it could scarcely be understood by any except trained elec- tricians, oh car is fitted with a du- plicate and very powerful niotor equip- ment. This is carried entirely bencath the car body, is very compact, and nec- essitates no radical change in the con- struction of the car. One of the great objections which has been met with in applying motors, whether steam, elec- trical, or of any other character, to the propulsion of street railways, has been the difficulty of eetting su ient track: adhesion to operate the car under all conditions of track, loads and grades. Electricity in Washington, Whashington Correspondencs Pitts- burg Press: Many of the members in the house afflicted with rheumatism go down to the engine room of the house and have ‘‘Pap” Taleott, the electrician give them a dose of electricity from Nis dynamo. John Clark, the clerk of the house. and S, B. Cunningham, the dis- bursing clerk are regular patients of the electrical room and go ‘down daily to be treated. The electrical arrangements for the capitol are more elaborate than is gen- erally supposed, The 1,500 five foot gas burners by which the house is lighted wnd the 100 or more jets in the rotunda are all ignited by electricity, In addi- tion to this there are numerous callbells from the hall to the speaker’s rooms and those of the chief stenographer and journal clerk, which are run by the same dynamo, Mr, Talcott and his assiétant, J. A, Woodworth, has discretion 'as’to whoen the gas shall be turned on in the house. The speaker, however, sometimes ealls upon them to light up when he thinks it necessary and within a couple of min- utes after he has sent the word a blaze of light shoots across and around the glass roof and the dim light . coming from the sky is changed to that of the brilliancy of gas. The electrical dynamo- is located in the basement, where rest the immonse engines which run the groct faus sup- plying the house with heated air, or cold, as the case may be. In the engineer’s room, presided over by Mr, Lannan, are located indicators by which the revolutions of each fan are denoted, and the number of cubic foet of air breathed into the hall, above registered. There is also upon the wall a thermostat which exhibits the. exact temperature in the house and enables the chief engineer to regulate his air heating apparatus accordingly. It is aimed to keep the temperature of the house at a uniform point of from 69 to 71 degrees. s A very good illustration was given your correspondent of the difference of temperature of air in motion and that rest. Tn one of the halls through which the air passes to the fan by which it is sont above, tho' atmosphere was quite closo and warm, it being 75 degrees, as registered by a thermometer. (jninfi near the fan when the air was agitate: and a violent draught created, it was cold as Greenland, so to speak, and the reporter, drawing his overcoat close about him, looked at another thermom- eter, expecting to see it register about 20 degrees.” He was surprised, how- ever, to find the same figures on ‘that, viz., 75 degrees, The impure air is exhausted from the top of the hall by the same method as that by which fresh air is supplied—by’ fans, different, however, in their shape, 50 as to create suction. . Electrical Brevities. The French cablo company has given notice of an appeal from the décision of the tribunal of commerce, which gave a verdict for the Anglo-American cable company in its suit against the Freneh company for failing to carry out its agreement with the pool. The use of the telephone as a substi= tute for speaking tubes is rapidly ex- tending in this country. The West Chicago street rail way com- pany has set apart $2,000,000 of stock for the purpose of providing the line with an improved motor, and is bound by an agreement to select within a year either the cable or the electric system—which ever may be considered the bestand cheapest. A large proportion of the $10,000,000 stock of the company is to be placed outside of the city, and some 7,000 shares have already marketed in the east. Mayor Hewitt, of New York, has en- tered upon a crusade against telegraph schools. He eannot hit upon any means of reaching them by the law, and there- fore proposes to keapa policeman before the t{nnrm warn off unsuspecting young men and women who expect to qualify in six months for positions paying $1,500 a year. - There is so much electricity in a kiss that engaged lovers have been known to depend upon it altogether to light a spacious room, Electricity has done much forciviliza- tion, but its possibilities, it seems, have not been exhausted. An ‘electric birch’ has been inyented, by which re- fractory school pupils can bo punished nd no marks be left. It is suggested that Fdison or someone else will soon invent a process of converting sinners by electricity. Electricity is now being used in Paris to enable persons of wealth at select dinner parties to do without the waiter or maitre d’hote. A minature railway islaid down on the dinner table and continued on the same level into the kitchen through an aperture in fthe wall and an intermediate pantry. Dishes come in and after making the round of the table go out in asort of small truck moved by electricity. The truck at any moment can be made tostop. It does its work admirably as a dumb waiter, and any amount of art may be lavished on it to give it decorative beauty. The German crown prince’s sad ill- ness has given the world a new instva- ment. The Vienna correspondent of a daily contemporary telegraphs: An apparatus has been recently invented for examining the throat and larynx, which was tested with great suécess in the last medical congress. It enables the throat and surrounding organs to be examined by electric light, which is di- rected through the patient's mouth. The inventor is a well-known Vienna manufacturer of medical instruments. Aluminium is one of the most difficult and uncertain of metals to deposit €lec- wrolytically. The following recipe is given by M. Hermann Rienbold, who states that it furnishes excellent results: 50 parts by weight of alum are dissolyed in 300 of water, and to this s added: 10 parts of aluminium chloride. Thissolu- tion is heated to 200 © F'., and when cold 89 parts- of cyanide of potassium ‘are added, A feeble current should be used, The St. Louis Car company have con pleted seven strect cars for the Wheel- ing & Benwood Railway company, the cars being equipped with the Van De- poele electric motor, the current being communicated by wires extended above the tracks. The cars ave finely finished, and, instead of being numbered, they are given fashionable ladies’ names, They are about the size of the ordinary two-horse street car, with an inclosed cab on the front Flutform for the driver, on the floor of which rests the dynamo and machinery from which the power is communicated to the axle by means.of an endless chain, The road over which they are to be used is five miles in length, A yelh.ion from the New York & Har- lem Railroad company has been pre- sented to the board of alderman, asking permission to substitute electric power lor horses on the company’s line. This is the Fourth avenue line. The com- pany was prohibited by its charter from using horse power south of Fourteéenth street. The petition recites that a car has been inuse experimentally for a yeur, and has been subjected to almost every test which could be deyised for the purpose of determing its utility, The cqmpany is satisfied that elecirie THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: 8 success. ting. from 8 At afamily dinnerQgiven the other day by Valentine Winters, a venerable bonker of Dayton, plates were found envelopes containing deeds, stocks, ®onds, ete., aggregating nearly $500,000 as presents to his chil- dren and grandchildrén, ner he divided $400,000 between them in 1852, and it is ngf an uncommon thing for his children; to find $1,000 checks under their plates. power can be introdweed successfully and with safety and comfort to the in- habitants of the eity.
