The route proposed by Captain Wissmann is regarded as the best, as the expedition, by proccoding along the left bank of the I"ana, which forms the northern boundary of the British sphere of influence, avoids encroaching upon British territory. A section of the committee, hold- ing that the expedition has English sympa- thy, if not English cash, to support it, advo- cates starting from Mombosa, whence it was intended to dispatch British relief for Wadelai. Probably the committee will decide to leave the ultimate solection of the route to the leaders after reaching Zanzibar. Captain Wissmann will start next Monday with twenty oflicers. He will organize a local force at Zanzibar, the first duty of which will be to occupy the main outlets to the coast.

A let- er from Port-au-Prince states that while egitime has been very strong in_the south is star s rapidly waning, owing to his fin- ncial dificultics, and that he has put out 50,000 of the paper money called in by Solomon.

The documents that are withheld afford ample justification for Bismarck’s accusations against Freder- ick in his report to the present emperor. But tho strength of public feelng against further scandal has become so extrome that tho semi-official press has received hints to sease discussing the subject.

Nepraska Crry, Neb., Jan. 22.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—The color line agitated by the colored citizens 1 regard to school affairs bas been taken mto court. Some time since several colored children attending the Greggsport scliool became so unruly that the teacher could not coutrol them. The matter was laid before the school board, who investigated the affair and found that the children, Annie and Cain Martin, besides being a decided nuisance, really tere at tending school outside of ' their ward, and they were consequently transferred to a colored school near their home, with a hope that it would mend matters, The colored people became incensed and declared the action was taken on account of color. T'his the board emphatically denied, and said any white child would have been treated the same under similar cireumstances. To-day a copy of a petition asking & writ of mandamus of the state subreme court was s the school board. The writ declares th the board has established an exclusive ored school (which is false), which school the relatives want abolished, and all restric- tions taken from other children that d also apply to their children. The bos declared a set of moral cowards and partisan in their actions. The partisan charge is amusing, considering that four of the six members are republicans, W C field are attorneys for the colored people. The case will be heard to-morrow. McCool Junction News.

Railroads will keep right on hustling for business in spito of the agreement. If one road hustles a little harder it will get more business and the other ronds will sccuse it of cutting rates Then they will themsolyes cut rates to iwot back their business, and t youare. The agreement is broken and anothor rate war will be the order of the days. I don't like to condemn a thing befora it is put in oporation, but I don't believe the agreement can possi “bly be made to stick.” - - The Avizona Legislature.

Eleetrical Review: One of the prob- lems which soon presented thomselves in rogard to the application of the mo- tive power to dynamos was the guestion, how to do awiy with the complication of shafting and belting and connect th dyunamo axle dirvectly tothat of the driv in steam engine. It was found out in the early days of the dynamo (which notwithstanding its prosperous growth, is still in its baby- hood ) that the rapidity of its revolution isa most important fuctor in its effcct- iveness, as this increases in proportion as the velocity of those parts of the armature which receives the inductive influence cut the lines of foree eni ing from the maguetic pole-p of the field. It was, therefore, evident that in order to ob- tain an availablo connection between the axles of driving engine and dynamo, cither the steam engine must be so constructed as to enable it to produce an unusually great number of vevolutions (sny GO0 or more per minute), or the size of the armature must be largely increased, so as to in- crease the véloeity of its periphery, whieh, of course, is always in dircet io to its diameter. A six-fold in- crease in size of the armature will be clectrically equivalent to a six-fold in- crease of the velocity of the steam on- gine. In this country we have tried to solve the problem by the first-mentioned de- vice, numely, rapidly moving enginc One of the first of this kind was devised C: in Ericsson, who made the working drawings for an engine and dynamo olving on the same shaft, for the Delamater works, West Four- teenth street and Tenth avenne, where it was built and has been kept in opera- tion for some It operatos with oscillating eylinders, malkes from G600 to 1,000 revolutions per minuta, feeds some ht or teifare lights in the foundr, 1d occupies no more room than ti ell known coal boxes, familiar to all ew Yorkers as an appendage to the corner groceries, in fuct, 1t is inclosed in a similar box, the local necessiti not allowing it to occupy more room. In Germany the inventive genius ap- pears to have worked on the other track mentioned, namely, iner of the diameter of the armature. The fivst machines of this class were built by Gueleher, of Bicla, who, by quadrupling the dimneter of the armature, reduced the necessary number of revolutions from 600 per minute to less than one- fourth of this amount. -~ Combined Gasand Blectric Fixtures, Light. Heat and Power: Lightiy fixtures, arranged for the vse of gas or eleetricity, or of the two in combina- tion, are not novelties in the abstract, but those who give details in such mat- ters little attention are not awire of th progress being made in the deparvent of fixture manufacturing In recent specifications for lightin supplics sent out from the trensury de- partment Washington we notice fea tures thut arc new to us, and show that time and skill arc being expended in this dircetion to a greater tent than is generally supposed.

Bxpenditure in this direction is a sensible method of veducing that much-talked-of surplus, In connection with this, we have re- cently seen a fixture—of the first of pro bably many in the same direction — combining the Lungren and the Wels- bach, upon the sime plan as that above mentioned, excopting thut the fixture, emanating from the muanufacturers of the tirst nwmed 'ar i more esentinlly a Lungren fixture than the other.
