SEW USES OF ELECIRICITY, ['s Field of Operation is Constantiy Widening. A SUBMARINE ELECTRIC TRAP. The Ingenious Invention of a French Bcientist—Successfal Experiment with a Human Insulator—Tele« graphing the Temperature. Wonder: of Electricity, Remarkabls results have attended treatment of cancer cases by electricity in England, says the New York Sun. The patient is anwsthotized; the cur- rent is then passed through the tumor and all the tissues for some inches around it by means of fine insulated needles, 0 a8 not to injure the skin, The effects produced by the action of electricity consist in a cessation of wih, gradual disappearance of pain, some shrinking and hardening of the tumor, and enlarged glands, followed by improved nutrition and a better state of health, The growth as a whole does not disuppear, but remains as an inert mass, composed in all probability, of fibrous tissues alone. Dr. Parsons of the Chelsea hospital, who has ef- fected many cures by the adoption of this treatment, says that a repetition of the application is seldom necessary, and that in nearly every case one operation will cause atrophy of the growth. The majority of his eases have been those in which the knife had failed, or in which the disease had progressed too far for the knife. In some cases where the growth was excessive only a part could be treated at one operation. Among the advantages claimea for this method of treavment are the following: Life may be prolonged by it indefin- itely, provided that metastatic deposits = had not occurred before the commencement of the treatment; patients are not obliged to lie up for more than u day or two as a rule; they lose no blood are not generally any weaker; the current can be passed through almost any part of the body, and thus arrest growths which could not by any possibility be otherwise treated. b The big guns turned out hy the Eng- lish arsenals are now fitted with a de- vice to facilitate firing at nignt. The ordinary sights are illuminated by a small incandescent lamp, the rays from which, passing through a lens, are con- verged, so that only a minute point or line of sight, just sufficient to distin- guish the sight, is obtained. By means of an adjustable resistance the light can be modulated to suit the degree of darkness of the nightorthe eye of the observer. The opening of the first submarine telephone cable has just taken place. The cable runs between Montevideo and Buenos Ayres, and is thirty-vwo miles long, the “total length with the overheud line being 180 miles. On this line there are five intermediate sta- tions, all of which can telephone and telegraph simultaneously with all the other sations: An electrie brake designed by Prof. Forbes has been tested with great suc- cess on an entire train of carriages with which it has been fitted for use on aline in Russis. The chief gain isin point of rapidity of action, A train of aver- age length will feel its brake power throughout its length almost instanta- neously as agamst threc or four seconds required by the vacuum brake. n electric indicator of the names of railway stations is coming into use in England. A magnetic apparatus turn- ing a roller on which are printed the names of stations in good visible letters is fitted over the window of every car- riage with an electric beli to call the attention of the passengers to the change. The instruments are connect- ed in series, and are under the control of the guard, who changes the names by a sumple touch of a button before the train stops. An official shows that in the year 1888 the time occupied in passing through the Suez canal by vessels not using the electric light was thirty-seven hours and fifty-seven minutes on the average, wherens the average time occupied by vessels using the electric hight, and thus being able to nayigate the canal at night, was twenty-two hours and thirty- two minutes. An electric tramway is now in opera- tion in a distillery in Dublin. The line is circular and 18 about a mile in cir- cumference. An oyverhead wire is used ‘and current is obtained from the elec- tric light dynamos. At present the principal use to which the rail- way i8 put to carry vhe barrels of whis- ky from the distiilery to the bonded stores, but arrangements are being made by which the grain can be brought from place to place, A novel application of electricity is o triturator for grinding drugs, which is ingeniously fitted up to work by elec- tric motor, to save labor in chemists’ shops, or for drue grinders. The mor- tar or mortars to the number required are made to revolve by the electric motor, and a heavy porcelain pestle hangs inside, the necessary grinding being assured by the revolving of the heavy pestle by friction against the side of the mortar, Rifle bullets arc now photographed in their course by meansof the electric spark, The camera is taken into a dark room, which the bullet is caused to traverse. As it passes the camera it is made to interrupt an electrie circuit and produce o spark, which illuminates it for an instant and enables the im- pression to be taken, The wave of condensation in the air before the bul- let and the rarefaction behind it are visible in the photograph, and can be studied by experts, thus enabling the form of ball or rifle which minimizes resistance of the air to be selected. An improved search light consists of a powerful are light, vsually of about 25,000 candle power, contained in a metal cylinder about thirty inches high by twenty-fourto thirty inches in aiam- eter, one end of which is closed by a silvered concave reflecting lens. The apparatus 1s on a li)h'ot, 80 that it may be revolved around the center and ele- vated and depressed at will, As ordi- narily used the beam of light projected from™ the cylinder is so concentirated that at a distance of 1,000 yards from the lhlr it illuminates a th only about fifteen yards in wldtm When newmr{ this path can be widened. A eearch light of 20,000 candles 18 sup- posed to reveal objects at a distance of two and a half wiles, A Human ulator. Electricians io this seotion of the state were invited by Superintendent Jacob Pfelch, of the Erie motor car company, says & special from Erie, Pa., to witness a tcst of personal insulation esterday. Pfelch, alarmed at the utalities in New York and elsewhere studied day and night to arrest the da. fi" lying in the over-charged wires. o fortified himself, und then taking the buzz rods of the dynamos im his bare hands, which he had dipped in water, he stopped upon a pile of w dirt and received the full charge, over 500 volts, the force used to operate about ten miles of road. To the surprise of every one the electricity did not ground, and the superintendent felt no effects whatever, This invention is a secret to himself, ana upon which he Lapply for a patent at once. The insulator enables linemen and others to handle any wire with safety, and is an absolute protection. A Submarine Electric Trap. In the investigations that were taken by the prince of Monoco in deep-sc eoundings an ingenious method adopted to obtain specimens of the li ing creatus existing at the bottom of the ocean, says London Public Opinion. The apparatis used was shown at the Paris exhibition, The cage in which the submarine unimals were caught, according to Le Genie Civil, cousisted of a cylinder of wire, having three conical entrances,like those of a lobster pot, and weighted for submersion with detachable weights, It was, however, very unlikely that at these immense depths, where the darkness is prac- tically total, any fish would voluntarily find their way into the trap, and steps were taken to attract them by a light placed inside it. Obviously no light was available but an electric light, but to got an electric light to burn a mile or two under water was not ensy. The only recourse was to supply the incan- descent wire from a battery in the trap. Here, however, another difficulty oc- curred, It was necessary to close the battery,which had to be of considerable power, in a box of some kind, and as the hydrostatic pressure at such depths was 600 or 700 pounds per square inch, it was found impossible to muke a box which was not crushed before it reached its destination. At last, how- ever, this trouble was overcome by the curious device of connecting the box with a balloon. The balloon was made of cloth dipped in india rubber, and so arranged that the air in it was in com- munication with that of the battery- hox. On sinking the apparatus, the hydrostatic pressure, being virtually uniform all round the balloon, com- pressed it equally on all sides, forcing the airout of itinto the battery-box, unti! the pressure inside the box and balloon exactly balanced the pressure outside. This process went on to any extent, so that at the bottom of the sea, although the balloon. was reduced by the enormous force exerted on ittoa small fraction of itsoriginal size, 1t still kept the internal and external pres- sure equal. On raising the apparatus again it expanded as the pressure di- minished, and brought the battery-box to the sarface uninjured. So successful was the device that, not content with capturing deep-sea fish, the prince and his assistants propose on their expedi- tion to sena down a photograpic appa- ratus and bring back negatives of the bottom of the ocean, as seen by the electric light. Ten Smart Workers. In consequence of the total failure of the Manchester gas supply the Lan- cashire & Yorkshire railway company decided to light the Victorian station with the electric light. Within six hours of the time the order was given the most important platforms wece lighted, and the whole station was bril- liantly lighted with about two hundred and {ifty incandescent and a few arc lamps within thirty-six hours, says the Electrician, The current. had to be conveyed for about a quarter of a mile, and all the necessary circuits had to be run. The whole of the installation was carried out by the company’s telegraph and electric light staff, there being only about ten men on the work. The new light has since been running day and nigut, and steps are being taken to have the light fixed permanently. Telephone Induction. Cross-talk on neighboring telephone lines. has seemed to be so generally, and with apparently good reason, aseribed to the dynamic induction between wire and wire, that a_proposition involving an almost total denial of this phenom- enon as the true source of the trouble must attract the attention of all who are 1nterested in telephony, says the Electrieal world. 1In the excellent paper read by Mr. J. J. Carty before the New York electric club that gentle- man twkes the stand and shows by ex- periment that cross-talk can take place without dynamic induction and indeed that it is the static induction which is responsible for many of the troubles experienced on contiguous lines. The proofs which the author cites are cer- tainly very striking and would indicate that static induction, even if not of the predominating influence contended for by Mr. Carty, is certainly an importunt fuctor heretofore neglected. The in- +fluence of such induction between elec- tric hght and telephone wires is also alluded to by Mr. Carty, who demon- strates that a line pefectly balunced electro-dynamically might be entirely out of balance elc.iro-statically, with with refereunce to a contiguous wire. Humors ot a Telegraph Office. The American who goes into a tele- graph office in England for the first time to send o cable message usually undergoes an experience that confiruis him in his opinion as to the superiority of the institutions of his native land. He has just arrived and is anxious o inform the folks at home, 5o he stops on his way to the railway station or hotel, Telling the ‘‘cabby” to wait, he grasps a blank, fills in the necessary words, lays down his shillings ana_prépares to fn' *‘Wrong form!” says the clerk, po- itely but firmly, The traveler looks around helplessly until some one, see- ing his smbarrassment, hands him the white sheet required for cable mes- sages. He gives it to the clerk with a sigh of relief. **Must be stamped!” re- plies that official, pointing to u sign of “Stamps sold here.” The traveler hands his message to the bright-faced girl who presidesbehind the iron-railed counter. ‘*You must get it rated, sir!” she says. Hall in despair, avxious, maybe, to catch a train or join some waiting friends, he finds the rating clerk, buys the stamps from the inter- esting young lady, and at Jast, ten min- utes or more having passed, has his message accepted and started via a pneumatic tube to some more central station, at which the operating room is located, The Stract Rallway of the Futare, The Rochester (N. Y.)Herald be- lieves in_electriv railways, and ear- nestly advocates their adopuion. 1t niu: “The scientific obstacles are rap- idly giving way before the inventive genius of the age, and practically it is now ouly a ‘question of economics whether the storage battery shall be adopted or not, So far as the overhead wire system on the railway between Rochester and the luke shore,a dis- tance of some four or five miles 18 con- cerned, it is apparently a complete suc- cess. The equipment embraces all the latest improvements and the road has worked admirably since it was opened until the preseut.

Telegraphing the Temp rature e French invention consists of a thermometer with a le ahout eight inches long, reading from 0 deg. to 80 deg. centigrade, The bulb holds mer- curyasusual, A platinum wire of about L0008 inches in diamoter runs from end to end of the tube, being connected with platinum terminals fused through the glass. The length of wire between the above-meationed scale of degrees a resistance of 200 ohms. The resis- tance of the whole thermometer. thero- fore, will vary considerable us the mer- cury rises and falls in the tube and it is on this that the arrangement for tele- graphing the temperature to a distant point depends. The receiving instru- ment consists of a low resistance gal- vanometer and auxiliary resistance of about 200 ohms, Two cells connected in parallel are employed to send a cur- rent through the thermometer, resis- tance and gaivanometor, the defloction of the latter indicating’ the heigth of the mercury in the thermometer tube, sparks. The largest incandescent circuit in the world is forty-five milesin length. The company working it is at Ottawa. Surgeons are finding con ly in- creasing opportunities for making use of electricity in the use of their pro- fession. It is said to be admirably adapted for the treatment of neuralgic pain, and its application in chronic eases is very beneficial. Among those who have worked out the problem of procuring aluminium by electrolysis M. Minet is one of the most successful. The electrolyte used by him is a mixture of from 30 to 40 per cent of eryolite with from 60 to 70 per cent of common salt. Edison is busily engaged in pushing forward to completion an electric motor for streot railway cars. His idea dis- penses with the overhead high tension wires and also with the storage battery. In afew weeks Mr. Edison expects to give his invention a public trial on one of the street railroads in Orange. _Ttissaid to be well established that waste water power can be successfully converted into electric energy. It can be conveyed from ten to one hun- dred miles on a small copper wire in amount varying from ten to 500 horse power. The cost does not exceed $6,500 a mile for the greater distance and the larger power, A London paper reports Edison as working on a plan to stereotype a news- paper by telegraph. Edison 18 now re- ported at work on about a dozen differ- ent schemes a wesk. Whenever a per- son gets a wild idea he wants to pluce before the public he gets it announced as something the Wizard is working on. Then it goes all over the world. A novelty is announced in the shape of o ‘‘recording and alarm” compass which, it is declared, will greatly in- crease the safety of vessels. The ap- paratus is said to be composed of a bin- nacle and recording and alarm instru- ments connected by electric wirves. The principle, in brief, is to sound an alarm whenever the course is not kept. San Francisco seems to be taking the lead in the matter of putting the phon- ograph to novel uses. The latest story from that city is that some rich families are using the phonograph as a compan- ion for the sick, a negro being hired to turn the crank while it sings, tulks and plays. Some of the undertakers are about to employ it for short prayers and sermons at the burial of the fricndless poor. At Kimberly, South Africa, the pub- lic lifihling of the streets hus been ef- fected by means of arc lamps. It is the first town in the world to have its streets illuminated by electricity with- outpreviously havinganyother artificial light for this purpose. The nearest ap- proach on record to this is the case of & town in Portugal, which is just about to make the transition fromoil lamps to electricity for street lighting. The rccent discovery in & mine in Cornwall of a very rich lode of ura- niuin will probably turn to some account as @ factor in the rapid progress now being made by electric science. Scien- tists anticipate that the discovery will enable some verv important applica- tions of the metal to be followed up. Jranium may be used as u substitute for gold in electroplute ware. More- over, because of its high electrical re- siswance, it is likely to be largely used in electric insulations. A very valuable reflector for the light of the incandescent lump has just been invented. It consists of a conical globe of fine flint glass, rounded and frosted at the base, the upper sides being of clear glass, covered by hand with bur- nished silver in such "a way that it will never tarnish or oxidize. Itis stated that by hanging the reflector over office desks, und using efght or ten candle- power lamps, & far superior light is ob- tained than by using a sixteen candle- power lamp with ordinary fittings, E. C. Hughes. one of the electricians of the Pillsbury A mill, has lately been experimenting with the heating capac- ity of electricity, and has demonstrated that almost any degree can be produced with comparative ease, says a Minne- apolis dispatch, He has potten up an oven for baking and for testing gluten which is a great success. The giuten is placed in a cylindrical glass case, about an inch in diameter, which in turn is placed in the oven, the lutter also being in cylindrical form, and under & heat of about 500° the gluten is baked in twelve minutes about. A new telephone has been patented by James Lowth of Chicago, known as the statho-telephone. It can be used over a common telegraph wire without battery assistance whatever. The ope- rator places a receiver to the ear and a transmitting button against the'side of the throat, as it is both a trausmitter and receiver. Holding the instrument with its transmitting button pressed lightly against the throat, the actual movements taking place in and about the larnyx are conveyed by the button to the electrical purts of the instrument und through them sent over the line to the distant receiver, in which the most perfoctly formed words are reproduced. A series of buttons along the inside of a horse car within easy reach for the conductor connect with the register at the end of the car in somewhat the game manner as the present existing arrangement. By pressing one of these buttons the fare is registered and the announcing bell rings simultaneously. In the systom used at present the con- ductor pulls the leather strap, which rings the bell and the fare is registered by the return action of the belt. It is said that in the present mothod the gong may be rung without registering the fare by skillful manipulation. Again, in unloading the ship, switches can be so urranqed that each parcel of a similar size, as in tea cargoes, registers as it passes the electrical connection, The same device can be applied in & pork-packing establishment, or in any place where itls necessary to record repeated action, —— A handsome complexion 18 one of the greatest charms a Woman can possess.

The east is waking up to tha fact that we are letting the markets of the fations on the Pacific fall into foreign hands, though they are nearer us than they aro t& Kurope, says the San Francisco Call. The'case of Japan just now happens to be attracting special no- tice. Japan imports in found figures forty millions’ worth of foreign goods per year. Of theso, Great Britain and "her colony of Hoog Kong supply to Japan 200,000, while the United Statos only supply 4,200,000 all told. Yet we take from Japan 817,000 000 of her total exports of §12,000,000, while Great Britain only takes $5,500,000, Javanese tea having never become popular in the English market, There is an inequality here which naturally challenges inquiry. Of the 4,200,000 of goods which we export to Japan, kerosene oil figures for $2,500,000, ‘This "is an article in which we have now, or at all events soon will have, to compete with Russia; the Russian petroleum oil is sad to bo as good as ours, and it can be laid down at Yokohama for less money, Of certain R00ds which we make in this country aud which the Japanese consume, such as textile fabrics, hardware, machinery, firearms, wooden and leather wares, olectrical goods and railroal supplies, our export to Japan is nominul. One of the reasons why Juvan gets hor supply ot these goods from Englund in stoad of the United Staies was given in one of the latest dispatchos which ex-Minister Hubbard wrote from Tokio. He said: *I'he class of cotton and woolen goods, es- pecially cotton goods, demuuded—and the only kind demanded—by the Japanese peo. plo, is not as yet manufactured 1 the United Stutes. It is'a spocific requirement ana de- mands a specific supply by the manufac- turer. The class of goods I refer to is the lightest of cottou-piece goods, forty yards to the piece, and Great Britain and other £uro. pean countries aud India now furnish it to tho market, weighing nine, eight, seven and even less pounds to the piece. The lightest American piece goods in commerce, I be- ieve, weigh fourtcen pouuds to the picce, and I bolieve that even this is exceptionally light for American cottons, ‘I'he character and texture of the mnative Japan costume, for the linings ot which the light cottons are used, create a demand for the Light and cor- respondingly cheap cotton goods.” In the last flscal year wa shippoed less than $100,000 worth of hardware, cutiery, fireurms, machioery, nai aws, steam en gines, stoves, sewin| hines and wire to Japau, The Japanese consumed a large auantity of these goods, but they got them from England ana Germany. 1t seems that we made no effort to supply the particular cluss of goods which they wanted, while the English, through their admirabie consular service, were kept constantly posted as to the particular patterns which would sell in Japan, and they supblied the demand accord- ingly. fl, would seem that the Japanese market is worth cultivating. There are as many peo- ple in the Japanese empire as there are in Great Britain and Ireland. The country is a garden. Wealth abounds. Tne capacity of the Japanese to consume foreign goods and to pay for them is enormous. * If some of our eastern manufacturers who so often complain or wlutted markets would study Japanese taste 80 as to provide an outlet for some of their surplus stock, they might find the study advantageous for themselves and for the country. R BETTER PRICE! IN SIGHT, Prospects of an Improved Market for Wheat and Corn, - Little attantion has beeu paid to what was perhaps the most inportant news of the last week {rom a speculative point of yiew— namely : the Russian oficial estimato of the corn and wheat crops of the empire, show- ing a stupendous shortage, says the Chicago Tribuve. In view of the need that exists to protect Russia’s credit at this time in order to facilitate the conversion of her debt, 1t may fairly be assumcd that the shortage in her crops is even greator than the figures just issued would indicate. At the same time comes the statement that the Australian crops are not so good as was expected. *‘It's an ill wind that blows nobody good,” and this shortage ubroad should create’ a market at better prices for the wheat and corn of our western farmers. It1s & truism that when the great agricul- tural mterests of the country are prosper- ous, when the furmers have gooa crops and getgood price, all industries flourish, vut the railroads are na directand special manner affected by the poverty or prosperity of the farmer, Said an old Wall street operator: “Our ouly fear in New York is that the manipula- tion of the markets by overators of the Chi- cago board of trade may kecp whest and corn at thoir present low level until the farmers shall have parted with thenr crop, and that the rich speculators will reap the benefit of the advauce which must follow the inevitable shurp foreign demund for our breadstuffs,” Hero is real ground for hope of hghea prices, whereas the recent absurd efforts to help the farmer by forcing a reduction in the railroad rates to distributing centors resul- ted instantly in a corresponding decline in price at those centers, 80 that the farmer got no more than before. ‘The cutting of rates in the west madp com- paratively little impression on tne prices of stocks, the decines that occured auring the week just ended being due in some instances to specific causes and in a general way to the almost unprecedented dullness that provails, Stocks lagged from sheer inertia in propor- tion to the volume of securities now hsted on 'Change, ki S AP Nervous decility, poor i soxual woakness, pimples, cured by Dr Miles' Nervine, Samples free at Kuhn & %0.’s, 15th and Dougias. —_—— OMAHA WHOLESAL Produce, Eoas—Strictly fresh, 1le, Cold stor age, pickled, limed, saited, nov wauted at any price.
