T'o be accurate, it is not, since the place be- longs to Charies Webb Howard, but it is rented from him fora good round sum by Colonel Sutherland, whois a mining operator well known among mining men Sutherland and Miss Traver tending to get married for the past ten years, but as the gay Colonel has a wife and child in New York and as she, being a Catholic, has no wish to obtain a divorce, he ene have concludod to be inseps nions anyhow.

The couple, ten years » assumed the relationship about which Oak: land gossipers have long been wagging their tongues, and since then they have done much traveling together, going to Canada and to various places in' Burope different times. About four years ago when Lord and Lady Lansdowne were in Canada,Miss Traver,who was then in Montreal,contracted to supply so cloty letters to a Now York paper, and since then has been a wielder of the pen for sev- eral journals, one of those for which she has lately been acting as corrospendont being the Philadelphia Post. She does not need to occupy herself mn this way, but likes literary work and it affords her recreation. Mrs. Traver, the mother of Miss Georgene, has been living at the latter's residence for the past two years. She was treated very kindly there and had a maid to wait upon her.Z.On Otobor 26, 1837, however, thejold lady was sent to the insane asylum at Napa. Last February she wus given a leave or ab- sence to visit her daughter. On Wednesday Miss Georgene made preparations to have her mother returned to Napa, but the latter, with the assistance of her other daughter, Kittio Coffin, managed to ¢ mvent and, going to Judge Hamilton's room, got. an or relegse from - the the ground that she was sanc. Miss Georgene, who had not been apprised of the procecdings, burst into the court room in a rage after the judge had passed his opinion on s,and a stormy conversation occurred. ne accused her sister of having acted in a high-handedand cowardly manner, and insisted that her mother out of her mind. It is hinted that the cause of Mrs. Traver's incarceration has been that her-constant dec- larations about having been wrongfully de- prived of her property bave made her a troublesome inmate of the Sutherland house- hold. She has been twice placed in private institutions for the insane. ‘The poor old lady, who, it is alloged, had her mind somewhat unstrung by her hus- band’s death has been cogiigting on Suther- land’s rise to wealth, and rememberod that before he took charge of the Traver mining properties he did not have adollar to spare. Soon after and since then ho has been spend ing at the rate of $2,000 a month or more, One of his traits when riches began collect- ing under his palin was throwing tips of $30 pieces to waiters and Pullman car porters in & very lordly manner, Miss Georgene has had spats occasionally with Sutherland, though the two are devoted to each other, and once when her temper was aroused she informed him in the presence of others that she knew enough about him to send him to the penitentiary. Just how the, case will end it is hard to conclude, but Oalk- land gossippers are onjoying it hugely. hing is the . The retirement of Flood, Mackay and Fair from the Nevada bank of this city, causes considerablo comment, Tn business circles it is gonerally thought that the disastrous effects of last summer's wheat deal, m which the Nevada bank was a heavy loser, combined with the stramcd relations that are known to have existed at times botween the triumvirate of million- and Flood’s subsoquent {11 health, have combined to bring about the reorganization of the institution. During an interview James G. Fair stated that he would retam his interests in the Ne- vada bank under the new regime. He added that e did not care to_longer remain . dent, as tho responsibilities were greater than, with his other intcrests, he cared to assume. When asked whos he thought would be the mext president of the bank Mr. Fair oexpressed his opinion_that J. F. Houghton would be se- lected for that position, The main idea of the reorganization is to allow the triumvirato of millionaires needed relief, and to allow the new stockholders to selodt their own di rectors and officers. The proposed change will givo interest to a briof resume of tho history of the bank. It was_incorporated on May' 25, 1875, with a capital stock of #5,000,000, with James C. Flood, J. W. Mackay, J. G. Fair, William . O'Brion and Louis MeLano s incorporators. In Octobor following the bank was opencd for business and on _opening dav its deposits are said to have amounted to $500,000. In May, 187, & branch was established in New York, the capital stock having been doubled in_ the mean time. Later it became public that only $3,000,000 of the amount subseribed had been paid in, @nd the capital stock was alterad. The millions waore then reduced to the size of the coin con- tributed, and the number of shares decreased t0 80,000, MoLane retwed from the presi- dency in 1581 and Flood was elected to the plice. Early in 1585 the Nevada bank con- veyed to Flood and Mackay all the real es- tate in the city previously held by that insti- tution,and the following month it as learned that Mackay bad control in the bank, both Flood's and Fair's wterests having been transferred to him. Flood afterwards be- came identified with the bank again, by buy- ing in a good portion of tho stock, Fair re- muined out, however, until lust fall, when ke came to the aud of the bank with o half- million dollars to tide over the nearly fatal results of the wheat deal. The change will occur within a week. The “glorious climate of California” main- tains the record. “Strawberrics all ripe! is w common ory on the strects this week, and there is usually a basket of peas carried in one hand and a drawer of berries in the other by the advance guard of the wagon.

Rend, in arvecent edition of the Texas Siftings, says: When the re- cont disastrous run was made on the Hot Springs (Ark.) bank an old fellow, who had come to town with a sack of fish, stopped on the sidewalk and, in as- tonishment, viewed the excited crowd. ‘What is the matter with all these folks?” he asked of a bystander, “Why, the bank is about to break and they want to draw_out as much of the money as possible.” “If that's the case, I'm in with ’em; Deen looking for something of this sort for some time,” and dropping his sack of fish, he crowded into the bank, fought his way to the cashier’s windowand said: “Here, cap’n, hand her out.” “Hand what out?” *Money. Give me my share.” b at is the amount of your deposit? Where's your check?” The old fellow did not understand, and the cashier continued: “How much money did you put in here?” “Didn’t put none in. What do you take mo fur? Thought it was a sorter free fight.” +Stand aside, old man.” “Hold on. 1If the government’s busted why dou’t you divide up?

The cuit court judge was upbraided, the county clerk was called a thief, and the loading minister of the town was rudely jerked to one side and 4oid that if he 1d not immedtately survender the sack of fish the aiv would be full of his tat- tored wardrobe. In a tumble down cabin, at thewend of a squallid alley, sat an old negro, con- templating with the steady eye of satis faction a gleaming arvay of bass, pike, sun fish and goggle-cyed pereh. 5 TS DA yer git all * asked a woman who entered a bundle of cloth sent’em honey,fur de Lawd hab dun had His eye on my appertite and longin’ fur some time.

Do you want to burn your fingers?" continued the merchant, excitedly. s the matter?”” “Matter enough. Those eye-glasses of yours are framed in celluloid, and if you keep twirling them around your fingers too unear the gas jet you will have an explosion,” The reporter placed the dangerous vance astride his nose, and the hant, who is one of the largest dealers in celluloid goods in the city, continued his conversation where this incident had interrupted it. “‘Most celluloid is made in France, Would you like to know how? Then listen: ~ A roll of paper is slowly un- wound, and at the same time is satur- ated with o mixture of five paris of sul- phuric acid and two purts of nitric acid which fulls upon the paper in a fine white spray. This changes the cellu- lose of the paper into pyroxyline (gun cotton). The excess of the acid having been expelled by pressure, the paper is washed with plenty of water until all traces of acid have been removed. It is then reduced toa pulp, and passes on to the bleaching trough, It is this gun cotton which gives 1t its explosive nature, “Most of tho water having been got rid of by means of a strainer, the pulp is mixed with from 20 to 40 per cent of its weight of eamphor, and the mixtul thoroughly triturated under millstone: The necessary coloring having becn added in the form of powder, a second mixing and grinding follows. This pulp is spread out in thin slabs, which are squeezed in a hydraulic press until Lhnx are dry as chips. Then they ard” rolie in heated rollers and come out in elas- sheets. They are from that point worked up iuto every conceiva- ble form. You can get cellu- loid collars, cuffs, hairpins, shirt fronts, cravate, penholders, brushes and comds, inkstands, koifc handles, jew- elry and everything else, almost, that you ean imagine. 1 have seen in Paris 2 room almost ecmpletely furnished in celluloid. The curtains, the fupniture, the doerknobs, and even the matting were made of this material. You may be sure no matches were ever ¢ 1 there. Indeed, the room was vever used.

Discuasions of the Day onthe Light« ening Subject. EUROPEAN TRAIN LIGHTING, Electricity Taking the Place of Lamps ~How 6 Weasure Kioctrio Cnr- rentd e Electric Street [ evico—Flashes. “Protedti Froi Lightning." Tn a recent lecturo beforo the Society of Arts on “Protection From Light- ning,” by Prof. Oliver J. Lodge, the lecturer began by giving a slight his- torical sketch of the subject, and called attention to the outsianding questions, difficulties, and points of controversy in connection with lightning conductors. He described the methods usually adopted, and showed that the reasons given for failure were often quite in- sufficient to account for it. An inter- esting experment showed the effect of a minute quantity of electricity; and explained the reason of the large size of the rain-drops in thunder showers. As soon as a stick of sealing-wax rubbed on the coat-sloeve was presented in the neighborhood of the jetof atiny foun- tain, the drops previously falling in spray were collected, and fell in an al- most continuous stream. In conclusion, the lecturer rveferred to the futility of ordinary galvanometer tests for light- ning rods,and argued that the behavior of a feeble battery current afforded no analogy whatever by which to estimate the cffect of the explosive and shatter- ing lightning discharge. ‘ Electrical Tests." Prof. A. E. Dolbear writes to the American Engineering Record as fol- lows: *‘I have had made nearly a hun- dred tests of the tensile strength of electrically welded bavs of irvon, steel and other metals. The results were of such a character that I can state posi- tively that with Thomson's welding process it is possible to weld both wrought iron and steel so that the weld i strong as the same cross-section in another part of the bar, thut the ap- pearance of the fracture is fibrous for iron and generally granular for steel, the strength of this granular steel being on somd Samples A8 high as 193,000 pounds per squareineh; that the process is such that the welding is homogenovs from necessity. I had a number of bars welded by an expert blacksmith, and number of similar ones by the elec- trical process! fer comparison, result that the electrically wolded bar: were much stronger thun those welded by the ordinary process. The bars were of various sizes, up to an inch and a half for ironzand three-fourths of an inch octagon sgeel.’ Electri rsus Cable Roads. A very strong opinion in favorof elec- tric as compared with cable roads has just heen giver by Colonel Henry lad, one of the most civil engineers in this country afl at present at the head of the hoard offpublic improvements in St. Louis. Colonel Flad recognizes the many advantages of the cable systom, making it an @mprovement, over animal power, but he Belieyos that *itsapplica- tion will Soon'Boe confined to the opara- tion of lines on which heavy gradionts oceur.” He speaks of what he has seen of the cable systemin St. Louis and states that on the largest cable roads there the effective force of traction is only 15 to 20 per cent of ths pow the engine, while {iie troubles and terruptions have been numerous serious. In his opinion it isthe stor car that is destied to supply the neces sities of all our large strect railronds, except those of very heavy grades, and the chiof recommendation in his eyes is the fact that the storage car is an in- dependent unit. “The importance of il M ragiian] ] B v FoR ol o And with long lines, cannot be overesti- mated; and I would recommendd the eleetric motor, with storage batteries, even if a cable road could be constructed and operated at less expense.” Electric Meters. There secms at the present time to be a general adoption of the idea that one ufthe most desirable methods of ob- taining the measure of a current pass- ing through a circuit, consists in the application of the principle of the heat- ing effect of the current. Not long since we described Professor Forbes’ ingenious meter, in which the heated conductor generates currents of air which set the vanes in motion, con- nected with a registering train, In this issue we describe the apparatus desinged by Prof « Thomson, in which the same principle is applied in 2 difioront bt eavally skillfal manner; and in which the vaporization of a volatile liquid is employed to effect a rociprocating motion, the rate of which determined by the strength of the current, antl hence serves as a means of registering the same. We are evi- dently just upon the beginning of an era of spe work in this field, and the result will no doubt be a large variety of this class of meters. Train Lighting. The use of electric lighting on trains in Europe has been attenden by very encouraging vesults, as veported by Herr Voigt lately before the Frankfort nch of the Society of German Engi- 5. On the Wurtemburg roads, where electric lighting has been in use some time, the average expense is shown to be considerably below that of oil gas, and though the cost of the plant is a little heayior, the apparatus itself is lighter, o that less weight has to be pulled by’ the locomotive. Itis also mentioned that an engineering firm at Esslingen has alveady fitted up o num- ber of traihs for electric llg&xtinz,.ol‘ which six are running on the Novara- Seregno road in Italy, and others on the Russian Sputhwestern line. These trains, it woulll appear, carry their own dynamos, s 'they are occasionally boarded by‘an attendant, who oils the machinery, which seoms otherwise to be left pretty mmuch to itself. Further details would be interesting, but enough are friven to show that train light in Edrope, as here, is very much on the advance, An Electric Coal Cutting Machine. The application of an eleotr to impart motion to coal-cutting ma- chinery is proposed by Messrs, Bower, Blackburn and Mori, of Woodlesford, Yorkshire, England.” The fram work or bed-plate of the machine is support on wheels. Within the framework is mounted or applied the electric motor, which may be of any suitable construe- tion, and to this motor the electromo- tive force is imparted through suitable cables from a dynamo machine placed on the surface.

Keramography Is the name of that branch of photo- graphic art or photographic principle which impresses pictures upon the hu- man flesh by lightning. Instances have been frequently noted where the im- prints of Nlowers, of figures and various images and pictures have been im- printed upon the human body by a flash of lightning. The writers upon this subject have carefully estimated the ve- ty of the force, which they state as ),000 miles a second. Therefore, if this force ever comes to be used as a merciful means of executing criminals, it will traverse the length of a six-foot man in one four-hundred-thousandth part of asecond! silvey Dynamos. The Lima, O., Gazette su The Sil- vey Electric company have a thirty-five light machine completed for Ada and are waiting for the putting in of their en- gine to test the machine hefore sending it out. They are getting out a plant 1o go to the Cincinnati exposition and are building a 100,000 canale-power light to go with it, But one light of this size has ever been constructed. That was by the Brush company, for the British navy. One light of this size is equal to fifty lights the size that are used in lighting the city. CurrentGossip. The desirability of having more hoiler eapacity than is required to meet the immediate needs of the engine is well illustrated by the recent wishap at Reading, Pa. Shortly after 7 o'clock one evening a number of electric lights went out, and others became dim. This was caused by the giving out of one of the boilers at the central station. It leaked so badly that the fires had to be drawn, and the two remaining boile could not generate sufficient steam to run the plant properly., After 'a delay of about two hours and a half steam was raised in another boiler, and the lights resumed their usual brilliancy. The extra boiler does not cost much to maintain, this case it saved a great deal of incon- venience to those dependent upon it for alight. Dr. Renk, of Munich, has been exper- imenting on the utility of electric light, from a sanitary stendpoint, in the Na- tional theatre of Munich., He found that the electrie light had hardly any influence on the deterioration of the air, whereas the gas-light raised tho teuperature of the room, deprived the | air of its oxygen, and rendeved it in- jurious by inoreasing the carbonic acid, especially in the higher regions. At a recent meeting of the Lane Medi college at San Francisco, Dr, 0. Hirshfelder delivered a very inter- esting lecture on the subjectof **Elec- tricity in Medicine,” in which he pointed to the use of electricity as one of the most striking evidences of the great advance made in modern medical science. He concluded by saying, “In clectricity we have a remedy whose variety of operation and whose efficacy stand se unl to none with which science is familiar, A special dispateh from Detroit sa) While Ameron Kratz was recently per- forming his duties on a high tower as trimmer for the Brush Electric Light company he received a shock from what | he had been told was a which shattered his nervous system so that he is unable to work., He brought suit for #25,000 damages against the eompany, which assertod that Kratz was negligent. troduced as evidence in court a minia. “dead wire,” when it is not in use, and in To substantiste this they in- | ture electric light tower, with which ! they tried to show thata careful man could not be injured as K was.

Miss Almenda Taft, of Sadorus, Ill., has a canary bird that snores. About 2 o’clock one night its snores became so loud as to arouse the household. A search about the premises failed to re- veal the cause of the noise until tho sitting room door was opened,and it was found to emanate from the bird cage. The bird being awakened, the noise instanily ceased. The owner of the bird regards it now as a very musical canary, and the neighbors all declare they never heard the like of its snores, which become more pronounced with each succceding day. ceadas AN 5 Hon.
