The chamber I8 packed with ore and flux, or metal, as the case may be, and the furnace is lined with glazed fire-bricks, which so thoroughly insulate it that there is no escape of current Within fifteen minutes of the turning on of the current the heat developed will melt plg iron, and it takes but little longer to melt Slomens-Martin steel. As no carbon is present the fused metals are almost pure; oxidation or blistering and the deleterious effect of gases evolved are prevented by the rarefled atmosphere, which at the same time increases the fluidity of the metal, and the castings produced are dense and homo- Eeneous. The most Is prove progressive extent nogeneous. | ot "af which | cen- | for Is obvious advantage claimed this process, in the smelting of raw ores, that it can be worked wholly by water | power. This ability to pense with fuel is_a matter of great moment In mountainou ihll, remote ore-producing districts, which BAVY fbundant water, but no coal. In the fusing,of iron it is claimed that the opera thon & rapid and amenable to continuou working; that it improves the quality of the castings; and that, even where steam power 18 used to generate the current, it gives a saviog of 30 to 50 per cent fuel, Th practieal limit of the process as at present organized would appear to be the handling| of about one and a half tons of metal in | one charge, which would require a| furnace or fusion channel of from | thirty-six to forty et in length. By applying to suce a furnace a eutrent of 30,000 amperes and fifty volts, or say about 2,000-horse power, the entire charge of 8,000 pounds can be fused and run into sastings In a quarter of an hour. In the | naking -of steel and iron castings by smelt- | ing in a Siemens-Martin regenerative fur. nace, 1,000 to 1,400 pounds of coal are burn to smelt 2,000 pounds of iron. In the Tauss| proce:s, even assuming that water power is not available and that the dynamo and air pumps must be workel by steam, it is claimed that the smelting of 2,000 pounds of iron or stcel can be effected by the con- | sumption of from 720 to 800 pounds of steam | coa), an_economy of nearly 50 per cent in tuel, | Where the steel Is treated in crucibles the ‘economy Is still greater, especially if the coal used be of an inferior quality By means of this process, it is stated, plg tron containing under 3 per cent total carbon has been produced, and it is believed that where desirable the carbon limit can be| brought down: to that of steel. It is estimated that a plant cquipped with 500 of 600 horse power, using a good quality of 48 per cent oge, can produce pig iron for $8 to $0.5 ton, allowing $2.40 for the cost of ore. tajp plants in the south a turn put fron at a lower cost than this; but the figire can be greatly reduced where a water power is available for the gener- atlon of electric current. If this system can ba_put on a commercial basis it will be amost valuable for the treatment of ores in ithe neighborhood of water power, or even where water power exists near enough to permit of the cheap transmission of cur- rent, fuel being presumably high priced. ¥or tostance, an electric generating plant anight be erected near the coal mines, and power could bo generated by using sla coal In producers, the gas thus obtained heating the boflers. From here the current could be trangmitted to the ore mines where {be Hmelting, furnaces were erected. The worklog of the plants now being put up in France an Sweden wi'l be watcl with interest by the iron smelters of the south, Which, with its numerous waterways, would Do a most favorable field for the utilization of any such successful system. ELECTRICITY KILL Mr. Thomas Edison, the distinguished in- vefitor, does not take much stock in the theorles recently advanced regarding New York's system of electrocution. Several preminent electricians, including Nicola Tesla, support the theory of d'Arsenval of France that the men are not killed by the high currents such as are used at Sing Sing, and their assertions earry sufficlent weight to induce Governor Flower to consent to an experiment on the next man electrocuted to determine whether he can be resuscltated Mr. Edison thinks they are dead beyon recall. D'Arsenval speaks of men who have been resuscitated after be'ng heavily shocked Dby the current. Edison points to the list of men who have been killed by it through ac- cident. The list is long row and the pre dent established s strong. However, he says that the way for the Frenchmen to prove their theorics is for them to take the man who Is first shocked to a_hospital and Mkt al test of reviving him. If he recovers AP VI prove their point. As to the state- Thent Uikt the “‘electrocuted”’ men may really have been killed by the post mortem knife and not by the current, ha thinks it absu:d This ought to comfort those physicians who have performed autopsies on the electrocuted men. “There are enough young doctors hanging around the hospitals to make a thorough test of it," said he. “Nearly all the men who have | boen' killed by electricity have recefved the c nt through the hands. Al the marks on them a.ter the current had passed through have been a little white spot on each hand When tho first men were electrocuted T ad- vised them to put electrodes on the hands and | t.

Perhaps it Is because the Zohurbh is more col vative than the world and less iclined to don the garb of modern eiviligation; or possibly it is because of that anclent superstition of man that lim re- Ngiows light” is more conducive to a spir ftual mood than any artficial glare.

In addition to these lights there ‘are sixty lamps concealed in the apse of the church and not visible in the auditorium except by reflection, while about seventy :more are distributed over the cholr gallery, being shaded to light the music, and placed behind an arch at the bick of the auditorium for the purpose of lighting up a large rose for effect on the outside front. A very pretty little effect Is produced by the employment of the electric light in an altar lamp. This lamp 1s almost a history of lighting in {tself, uniting as it does the most anclent and the most modern forms of il- Tumination BLECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES.

The situation, however, is not with- »ut hope, although it will come as a surprise to many Londoners to learn that in the itself an electric omnibus has run 000 miles with passengers, and that it is not improbable that a score or more of these vebicles will shortly be put into active operation.

While 3,000 to ELECTRICITY AND THE FARM. The problem of local transportation for the farmer may yet be settled by electricity. From the city of Seattle an electric Jine runs for several miles through a region of smali farms and vegetable gardens, whose products it brings to the city. In Madison county, Indiana, a franc e h: been granted for the construction of an ctric rallway, which will run from Indianapolls to Jon boro and trayerse a rich agnicultural district In the east the'use of this means of tra portation for the farmers is rapidly increas- ing. It has been found, where the e ment has been made, that the traffic pays, in a short time, for the building of the roads, and that they aro of the est convenl ence to the ugricultural cl The muddy and impassable. roads which house up a large proportion of the American farmers during the winter season are responsible, in a large measure, for the discontent which prevails among the tillers of (he soll. They interfere with the freeccin of the farmer at the only time when he ias leisure to go about and are costly and wosteful. Even the trolley may be forgiven {f it results in emancipating the people of the rural dis- tricts from thé ‘curse of bad roads, RAILROAD TELEPHONES. In France the management of some of the railroad companies think of replacing the telegraph Dy the telephone, even for the transmission of important orders. There are some railroads with light traffic where the telephone s alréady used, but the entire sub- stitution of the telephone would be difficult. The single iron conductors used for tele- graph would not be suitable, and it would be necessary to establish special telephone lines with double wires. On the Vincennes railroad in the stations between Paris-Bastile and La Varenne, which are at distances of about one mile, at a signal by telegraph the telegraph wires are connectel with the telephone in- struments, and are thus made available for an extended teiophonic intercourse. The ar- rangement. gives excellent results, The Northern rallway of France has established on trial telephone stations on the open road along some of its main lines, through which assistance can bo summoned from the sta- tions in case of accident. Tho stations are equipped wich telephone rece.vers. Portable telephone instruments are In use on some small French roads. The large Austrian railroads use feld telephone Instruments of the Gattinger system, which in a few minutes can be connected with the telegraph wires at any point, their use not interrupting the tele- graphic communication, Under favorable conditions conversation is possible at a dis- tance up to thirty-one miles. In England telephone connection between block signal stations is common. On the seven large French railroads there were in use In January, 1863, about 1,210 telephones, against 5,200 telegraph stations.

RECOLLECTIONS OF A FAMOUS CAMPAIGN | Captain Jack Crawford Pours » Thrilling Story of Indian Warfare Into the Cupacious Eaea of u British porter.

The Westmics- ter Budget devotes two pages to him, em- bellished with a black and white diagram of | his features, together with a huge sombrero | and flawing locks. | Replying to the reporter'’s request for his most striking frontier experience, the cap- tain said; “It was in the '76 campaign against Sitting Bull. I was the chief of scouts under Gen- eral George Crook. And after the Custer massacre, while In advance of the command on September 8, I discovered an Indian vil- lago of about forty lodges, which means 200 Indians., There were only 100 soldiers, two newspaper correspondents, and ten packers, in charge of forty pack mules, We were on the way to the Black Hills for provisions for an army of 2,000 men, and when the village overed we were eating horse meat, being almost entirely gut of rations.
