Electric Motors. Iron Age: Electric motors for low power purpgses are boecoming more and more prominent. It is of interest to note that they are now made to be oper- ated either by a small battery of a few cells or bv a current from an electric lignt wire, and are capable of success- fully performing work for which steam power would be objectionable. Forsome years the manufacture of electric mo- Yors was in an experimental stage, as usual in the opening up of all new en- terprises, but by whis time the difficul- ties seem to have been overcome, and those desiring to use electric motors have a number of patterns from which to make solection. Prices also have be- gome more veasonable, with increased competition and the prog: toward greater perfection made through the in- preasing attention given the subject. The motors can be started, stopped or reversed by a small lever, which in- stantancously controls the motion. Jew- elers’ and dentists’ lathes and drills and pimilar delicate machinery need o motor of this character, which not only operates at a high rate of speed, but can be instantly stopped and reversed if desired, Sewing machines are a class of ma nery to which these mo- tors are well adapted. The battory is placed in the cellar or in a closot out of he way, from which wives convev the current fothe motor placed on the table of the machine. It is ulways ready for use, and when not nctually in use it re: quires no attention to keep it in order beyond an occusional recharging of the battery. Pumping Jnachinevy for do- i 0 suburban towns is an- hi these motors ¢ y be employed, with groat comfor benelit and couvenience, as any re: dent of suburban districts can tostify who has been obliged to pump by hand. N The great advantage an electric motor possesses it its adaptability over a wide range of uses for power. Whilo it can be made sufficiently large to take the filuw of a steam engine of comparatively igh power, with economy it can also ‘be made small enough to operate the most delicate machinery, requiring but & small fraction of a hovse-power. The solation of motors is another advan- tage. They can be placed just where they are needed, no shafting being re- quired for the sma!l motors, the attach- ment being made diructl{ to the ma- chine to be operated. This will be ap- preciated by alarge class of manufac- turers operating special machinery, ‘which is run irregularly and without ro- ard to other operations in the same actory. With the extension of elec- tric light service, the more general - troduction of these small tors would seem to be inevitable, their value being already widely appreciated. Lightning Rods. Electric Review: The article enti- tled “The Lightning Rod Myth,” which originally appeared in the Phila- dolphia Record u lished in the Ele | | cal Review in a re- | are fast going out of use. He also says they attract lightning, which is not the case. In accordance with the laws which govern electric ac- tion—laws which are well understood by all electricians—they usually prevent an electric accumulation of an intensity sufficient to produce a disruptive dis- charge. Such a discharge is almost impossible above a well-rodded building, the rod being a passive but most effi- cient agent hetwoen the positive and negative forces whtch attract each other. Mr. Walker says iron rusts off in the ground and will attract a force which it cannot discharge. A rod in that con- dition would present no stronger attrac- tion than the finals, crestings, gutter- ings, metal roofs, ete., in common use, and which have nomeans of discharge except through the walls of the build- ing. Call a piece of metal a ‘“broken lightning rod’" and it becomes a source of alarm; form the same metal into cresting or cornice and it brings no thought of danger. However,the rods now in common use are made of galvanized iron or copper and are not open to the objection. Lightning rods and fixtures have been brought to that degree of perfection that emables manufacturers to guaran- tee five years’ protection to buildings when rodded according to the code of rules established by the delegates to the London conference of electr and scientists 1n 1882, Said deleg being sent by the Meteorological so- ciety, Royal Institute of British Archi- tects, Society of Telegraph Engineers and of Eiectricians and the Physical society. These delegates met from time to time for a period of four years, and left no means untried to procure all the in- formation possibie velating to the utility and proper application of lightni They discovered that for sixt, lighining rods have afforded absolute protection to the British uavy, while during the fifteen years previous to their application it sustained a loss of 800 smlons and seventy-two vesse And, after the most thorough investigation, they affivn that “*there is no authentic case on_record where a properly con- structed conductor failed todo its duty.” Moths and Klectric Lights. New York Commercial Advertiser: It is possible that electric lighting may turn out to be highly benelicial to peo- le who gain nothing by it directly. During the moist evenings of August, while in the country The beetle booms Adown the glooms, And bumps along the dusk, and mothsare fiying everywhers with little to molest them or muake them afraid to deposit their oggs, from which shall come the larvie to work havoo to vegetation, ululhlnf and carpets, and spoil the temper of *3e thrifty house- wife, the electric hight stands up in the city and slays the moths by the million. Rlack peper, tupentine, tobacco and cedar shavings may kill the larvie, bus they will not touch the immediate cause of the lurvaw. The electric light deals destruction to the cause, though it is Po\rorl-:ss to injure the “‘worms" and ‘bugs” that dig and burrow and gnaw among the precious things of man, Anybody who looks by night at the l two quarts of dead “‘butierflies” in the globes of vhe sixty-four lights, making a total of four bushels—not to speak of the dead insects that had fallen to the ground—of these destructive insects that had been lured to their death by the destructive carbon. On the same night Reading swarmed with myriuds of moths, which made the air look as if a snowstorm was falling. They obscured even the brilliancy of the electric lights; passers-by were covered with them, and finally the people built fires in the streets and burned the insects by the bushel. Doors and windows had to be shut in order to keep the pests from entering the houses. The ‘‘miller” was abroad, and everybody wore a white hat, Great hosts of the insects were killed by the electric lights, and but for those engines of destruction they would have lived and laid their eggs, greatly to the detriment of the vegeta- tion and the household goods—if, per- chance, any of them belonged among the tinew—of the Pennsylvanians. The Improved Gramopone. In November of last year the Electri cal World published the researches ot Mr. Emile Berliner, of Washington, in apparatus for the recording and repro- ducing of articulate speech and other sounds. Since that time Mr. I iner has b oceupied in furtherdeveloping the invention, and has brought to bear on the subject new ideas which not only have himpfili«-d the manipulation of the process, but also wonderfully improved its efficiency. A private performance of the improved machine has been mad by Mr. Berliner, and the results which he obtaius with the new apparatus are indeed marked to an extent which makes it certain that the aim of the in- ventor to reproduce the human voice in its natural loudness and with an abso- lute recognition, is very nearly accom- plished. ~ Songs, every word of which could be plainly understood, and so loud that going out of the room and into the hall, mziv feet from the instrament could still plainly be heard. A song by a 1d twelve years old, 1 with such marked cha that anybody without knowing who sang it could not but have made out from the way it was rendered that it was a childs voice. There were also son with organ ac- companiment, cornet solos, duets, plantation songs by exhibited the peculiar characteristics in each case. The recoguition of the voice by persons knowing the performer was absolute, Mr, Berliner cited a case where a child seven years old recog- nized his father’s voice without know- ing before hand that his father had spoken into the machine, and without having an idea that that voice would be reproduced. This is important, inas- much as it proves that the gramophone has avrived at a very high stage of per- fection. Considering the short tim that has clapsed since Mr. Berliner negro, all of which commenced this most intervesting original study, there no doubt that the next month or two will see the achievement of the most pe t results, The gramophone is based not so much upon the principle of the modern phono- graph as the Leon Scott phonautograph, which was patented in France in 1887, The phonautographic record consists of a wave line upon a surface, and is not a | record of an indentation iuto a material which wus repub- | electric lights at this season will see | or the rocord of a process of cutting or them suriounded by couutless moths | graving out. 1u was reserved W genious conception. According to Mv. Berliner’s state- ment, which can be voritied by refer- ring to Vol. 85 of the Comptes Rendus of 1887, page 1,082, Mr. Cros, in April of that year, laid down the correct prin- ciples underlying the gramophone, namely, to engrave the Scott phonauto- graphic record into solid material and use this engraving for reproducing the sound which made the record. It does not detract from Mr. Berliner’s credit that he independently and without p vious knowledge of Mr. Cros’ prior con- ception resurrected this idea ten years later, and at a time when Mr. Cros had not only long since abandoned experi- mants in this line but even when Mr. Cros’ paper was almost unknown to the scientific world. The first performance by the gramo- hone last year was affected with a disc in which the phonautographic record had been engraved by the Vhom-en- graving proc but since that time Mr. Berliner had adopted a much si ler plan to arrive at the same r namely, by a method of etching the record into metal. Mr. Berliner took asmall di pourcd upon it a quic fluid which left an exc layer of spongy and fatty into this layer a phonautogrs ord and etched the same with g less than fifteen minutes, on examining the zine plate through a magnifying glass, we observed the beautiful trac- fngs of articulate speech as a line sunken below the surface of the metal ves in most culiar varieties as representing the sounds of the human voice, In pr fzine about twelve inches in diameter is clumped down upon a table which revolves by clock- work at a velocity of about fifty revolu- tions a minute. The rder with its diaphragm and stylus. is moved across b phery to center by a movement, and as a result is obtained a spiral, showing the tracings of the voicd, which affects the recording diaphragm as the disc is re- volving. This plate’ is then plunged into a solution of chromic acid and left in there for about fifteen minutes, when it is taken out, washed off, and cleaned. It is then read r reproduction. When found satisfactory it ray be multiplied cither by the electréplading process, or by inversing the record upon celluloid, plaster of Paris, #ealing wax, type metal, or any other substance capable of being molded with'ease. The copies thus obtained from the original plate reproduce the voice with the same fidel- ity as the original record. Notwithstanding the simplicity of the etching process, that of the reproducing appavatus is still greater. There is no gear or machinery of any kind except a smallfriction wheel which revolves the table having clamped down upon it the reproducing dise, The reproducing stylus connected to the diaphragm is ermitted to rest by its own gravity in the reproducing groove of the record, and when the plate is made to revolye it not only vibrates the diaphragm and reproduces the sound, but it also leads the diaphragm box across the disc from periphery to center,so that the record groove serves at the same time as a serew instead of a separate gear. The recording diaphragm and stylus are attached 10 a lever which 1s pivoted at a distance of about eighteer. inches | from the center line of the disc, and as volving the disc regularly by hand, and by hanging up a small pendulum to swing before tge eyes of the manipula- tor he can regulate the revolving mo- tion by the swinging of the pendulum. BEvery disc or ‘‘phonautogram,” as Mr. Berliner calls it, has engraved at its center the name of the piece which it reproduces, and also the number, 40, 50 or 60. This indicates that the re- corder moved at a velocity of fifty revolu- tions a minute, 8o that wherever a disc way be used for reproduction people will know at what velocity to revolve the disc in order to obtain an_accurate reproduction of pitch and auality. e IN A TENNESSEE CAVE, A Human Skeleton Found With a Valise Full of Valuables. The Cleveland Plaindealer prints the following special dispatch from Mur- freesboro, Tenn. This little city is all torn up over a series of discoveries that have set tongues a wagging and turned almost every one into an explorer. Friday last Mr. Quick, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, spont an hour walking over the battle- field, when two hunters asked him to assist them in securing a fox they had holed neur by. At the spot Mr. Quick found a large aperture,or rather acave. They dug into it and almost the first thing they found was% skeleton. Lying next to it was a valise almost falling to pieces. In this were found four gold watches, a set of diamond earings, two diamond finger rings, ten sets of silver spoons, five silver watches, 8272 in gold, $1,861 in greenbacks, 3303 in Mexican dollars and a letter written by 8. E. Clendenner, company K, Nineteenth lowa volunteers, to J. Hawkins, com- pany E, Fifth Pennsylvania cavalr; number of regulation United States buttons were also picked up. It is sup- posed some wounded soldier crawled into the hole and died before he could get out, The discovery set scores of persons on a close search of the battle field. While nothing was found on it, other discoy- eries were made in the cave which, when fully explored, proved to be really alarge sink hole. Beneath the mass of recent earth was found a union officers sword, two or three muskets, several vevolvers, a gold toothpick and locket. In the rear was a petrified body. It was in almost perfect shape, but almost black, though evidently a white man, In asmall tin box was a lock of long brown hair and what was probably a knot of ribbon. Whooping Cough. If the nurses of chi’fdreu aflicted with whooping cough, only knew what to do, the cough could be cured within a few days. Tako the whooping little ones down to the gascompany’s works, tell the foreman what you want, take the Iittle ones into the purifying house and hold them over the edge of the purify- ing pan just when the workingmen are stirring up the great pile of green lime, When the little ones are through whooping and hopping, wipe the tears from their eyes and tuke them for a trip on the cable. Repeat this for three or four days and the whooping cough will be gol In the eastern cities the best physicians recommend the gas house treatment. e It is estimated that the dyer of to-day has control of 15,000 different shades of color. ‘Lhere is not a color known to science which he cannot use. drews had a daughter about twenty years old, and 1 soon understood that she was to be married nextday.

When I entered the front door the young man, who answered to the name of Davy, ran out of the back. He folt confused and embarrassed, and taking his seat on a log about thirty feet from the house, he hid his face as much as possible behind a sappling. Andrews called to him, then Mrs. An- drews called, but he put his fingers in his mouth and would not come. Then his Susan went out and said: “Now, Davy, what’s the scrimmage? Hc'un hasn’t come yere to hurt we'uns.” “I ain’t scart.” ““Then come al All of us will be ashamed of ye “‘Got a headache,” said Davy, as he hung vack, ““‘Honest?"” “Yes, orful honest. split.” ‘“*Shucks!

Feels like it 'ud ur shore?” “Fur snake shore. Come in, Davy,” She came leading him by the hand, and I did my best to put him at his ease. In this I succeeded so well that after dinner he took me into his confi- dence. We were lying under a tree, and I had given him the first cigar he ever saw, when he suddenly smd: Would yousyou—run away?” “What! From getting married?” ““Yes.” **No, sir-e: You are a lucky man to get such a girl as Sue.” “*But folks laugh.” “Let 'em laugh!” ““And wink and titter and make fun.” “Pooh! What of it?"” ““It’s jist orful, but mebbe I kin do it. I've kil{ud b'ars and rattlers and wild- cats, and I've had fights and rows, but this skeers me I got him braced up after an hour’s talk, and then we took a cut through the woods to see the new cabin which had been erected for the bridal couple, 1t was a humble structure made of poles, with no door to the doorway and no sash in the window. The ground was beaten down hard for a fioor, there was a rude fireplac: at one end, and a bed- stead had been made of poles laid in crotches. Davy’s mother had given him a bear’s skin, a kettle, a skillet and a jug, and these were placed 1n a cor- nér. Susan’s parents had given her a pan, a kettle, three tin plates, two spoons, two knives and forks and a bot- tle of vinegar, and these were placed in another corner, That was the whole outfite I had a little talk with a storekeeper and wrote out a list of things and tend- ered the pay,and his voice actually trembled as he said: *Twelve hull dollars! can’t mean it!” “*Oh, but I do.” **And all a free gift to Daye and Sue?”? ¥en," “Wall, it beats sarpints. ’'Deed, it beats b'ars and wildcats?

At about 10 0’clock the nexg morning the people began to drop in, and at 11 o’clock the marriage took place. The groom had a weak spell but I braced him up, and when the fatal noose was adjusted and the trap sprung his conduct was fair to medium, After dinner we formed in procession and escorted them to their new home. Al- most everybody had come laden with a present of some sort. In the center of the cabin was my surprise, and no crowd of people were ever so dumbe founded. Mrs. Andrews drew the arti- cles out gnd took every one’s breath away as she shouted: “Iteal tea and coffec and saleratus! And here’s cotton cloth and pins and thread! And here’s sugar and molasses and soap! And here’s crockery—real crockery—and knives and forks and spoons and—— But all the women were crying by that time, and all the men were trem= bling with excitement., They laid it onto me, and I had to own up, and then Andrews called out: “Yere, Dave, Sue—git right down yere on yer knccs and sw'ar to the stranger that you'll pot-luck with him and his’n as long as grass grows and water runs, and may the Lord never de= sert him!” And who could ask for a greater re- ward?
