INTHE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY se of Bieel and Aluminum Wire Constructien, — | AMERICAN TELEGRAPH CGRPS IN PEKIN in Eleetrio Electrie Phenomena on Tops~Steam and Com | | | felty In Mining. | re has been some talk in financial | and mining circles Indicating a fear that recent improvements in telephony would greatly lessen the demand for copper as a | metal for line construction. Such a fear the Poston Transcript pronounces utterly unfounded, as it is Ilikely that the adop- tion of Dr. Pupin's method of improving long-distance lines will tend to increase greatly the number and distribution of | such circuits. The only rivals of copper for electrical uses are steel and aluminum Under certain conditions, steel, of which from six to elght times the weight of the equivalent copper 1s required for the same effective conductivity, may be used, espe- clally as a conductor for heavy curren And In situations where its welght would causes no inconvenience. For example, it 18 likely that for distributing feeders from the sub-stations on the elevated railways in New York City, when these are equipped for electric traction, steel will prove the cheapest material. Aluminum is cheaper than the equivalent copper, and consider- ably lighter, but about 80 per cent bulkler It bas found much use already for lines | where bare wire can be used, as power- transmission cireuit for example. Many indications point to the increasing use of this metal as an electrical conductor though much has still to be learned about it and the question af its weather-resisting | qualities in still unsettled. It is almost cer- taln to be made for a lower price in the n future, it being already possible to manufacture it at a figure to compete with opper at 11 cents, or about 60 per of its present price First Wire In Pekin. | Accordiug to the Electrical World and | Engineer, the assertion that the Japanesc were the first to enter Pekin with their tel | egraph line on the occasion of the relief ex- | pedition is not correct. It says that the | honor belongs to the United States signai | corps, which reports as follows through the | chief signal ofcer “The conditions H'H‘('r‘ | | | | | cent wlich these operations were conducted in the fleld were most trying. They entailed not only marching as-fast as the army aud the construction of a telegraph line equal in length to the daily marches, but also the establishment of telegraph stations at night. their dismantling in the morning “nd the dispateb of telegrams during a con siderable part of the night. The dificultics were greatly enhanced by the fact that for | days at a_time the detachment was obliged | to work without escort or any protection | otber than rellance on its own members. | Most unfortunately this labor, exhausting at the best,'was done under most unfavor- | able cltmatic conditions, the heat being so | exceesive a5 to frequently disable for hours the most energetic men of the stgnal corps. Many of the Chinese laborers were pros- trated, and in one day two of them dropped dead from heat and over-exertion. In view of the trylng and untavorable conditions re- cited, it Is a source of gratification that the signal corps detachment justified the conf dence placed In it by General Chaffee and by the chief signal officer. Through the labors of Lieutenant Stamford’s men the American army carried the first telegraphic wire inte. Pekin, where the first telegraph office was fnstalled in the house of Minister Conger. Fortunately, this action permitted General Chaffee in Pekin to extend courte- sies In the way of transmitting telegrams to oficlals of the British, Russian, French, German, Itallan, and even Chinese govern- ments, and likewise to the press. So stren- uous were the labors of the enlisted signal corps nien, both before and after their ar rival at Pekin, that it was with diffculty that telegraphic work was maintained at Pekin, owing to the large number of opera- | tors incapacitated by sickness.” Novel Electro-Magnetic Brake. The British Westinghouse company, says the Scientific American, has recently ac- quired the patents of a novel electro-mag- netic brake, invented by Mr. Newell, for utilization on street tram-cars. It con- sists of a horseshoe electro-magnet, suse pended on spiral springs, so that the poles hamg directly above the rails. When the magnet is excited, it forces down these poleh, %0 that the shoes grip the rail in a | similar manner to the ordinary track brake. But there Is a wide difference between the effects of the application of the Newelt brake and those of the conventional track brake. In the case of the latter, the brak~ ing effect is obtained at the expense of the welght of the car; that is, by reducing the grip of the car wheels on the ralls, and therefore nullitying to a considerable extent the effect of the wheel-rim hand-brake. In the case of the Newell brake, however, by means of a simple arrangement of levers connecting the electro-magnet with the shoes of the wheel-rim hand-brake, the re. action of the shoes on the track results in an increased thrust or pressure on the shoes of the wheel-rim hand-brake. By this means an fncreased braking effect on the wheel rims is caused, and the effective elght of the car on fits wheels is not changed by the application of the tracke brake. Another important feature of this brake is that it is not actuated by the cur- rent supplied by the conduit malns, but by power produced by the loading of the car motors as gemerators. The momentum of the cars, after the supply circult has been Interupted, drives the motors as generat- ors, and it is the resulting current which furnishes the power for the electro-mag- netic brake. Tercentenary of Elee elty. At the London institution the other day Prof. Silvanus P. Thompson gave a lecture on the “Tercentenary of the Sclence of Electricity.” This tercentenary, he safd, was to be dated from 1600, because in that year appeared Gibert's treatise “De Mag- nete” in which it was shown that the at- | traction of the lodestone for iron was not | the same as that exeried by amber for | small particles of chaff, feathers, etc., and | that this property of amber was shared by many other substances. 1In the century 1601-1700 Guericke conmstructed the first | electrical machine, using a ball of sulphur, | but very little more was discovered. In the next century there was a galaxy of names llustrious as contributors to the progress of the sclence of electricity; still the real beglnning of its useful applications dated only from the earliest part of the nine teenth century. Volta, in 1800, gave an ac- count of the voltale cell, and in 1502 Sir Humphrey Davy, experimenting at the Royal institution with a large battery of cells, produced the electric arc for the first time, About 1836 Danlell constructed a cell whoee current was constant, though not very strong, and a few years later Grove in- vented his more powerful zinc-platinum cell, showing in 1841, in the theater of the London Institution, that a battery of 100 of these cells could yield an electric arc four nches long. So impressed were the mau- agers with this achlevement that they made Grove a professor of the institution, where for some years he carried on researches on his cell and also on the gas battery On the occaston of one of his lectures he illuminated the theater with electric light produced by incandescent lamps with plati- bum filaments. In 1820 Oersted discovered the connection between electricity and mag- | to another. | dred feet under ground, it has been neces- netiem, and in whose name sufficien Willlam Sturgeon, to hobor was not paid described what was literally the f ation of ele al engloeering—the ele [ This was applied t e p telegraphy In America by Morse England by Wheatstone and Cooke. Finall Faraday, arguing that electricity could produce magnetism. the converse should be true and magoetism should produce e ricity, invented the first mechanical method of generating electrical currents by rotating a coll of wire in such a way that t cut the lines of force proceeding from a magnet; the magneto-machine thus made was improved by Wilde, Gramme and others into the dynamo of today.

Tt is also known that a cloud or a mass of electrified air that has not quite attained the cloudy condlition | may lie between two peaks and flashes may proceed from it simultaneously to the two peaks in such & way as to lead a careless | observer to say that one peak discharged over to the other. If this should be the approximate explanation of the Euphrates phenomenon, then it will happen only when the wind is in certain directions, such as to ause the formation of an incipient cloud and thunderstorm between the two peaks, and this wind direction will depend upon the relation of the peaks to the course of the river valley below. So that if the phe- nomenon is attributable to this source it 1s not w0 very rare. On the other hand, if it 1 4 myth, based upon some historical event or some misinterpretation of anclent names, the explanation will at all events be most interesting to students of history and philology. lectricity in Mining. Bleetricity is rapidly replacing steam and compressed air in mines all over the coun- try. One after the other is taking up that kind of power and it seems as it within a short space of time most of the underground work would be carried on by electric force. There 18 no doubt of its cheapness for drills as compared with the other kinds of power and it certalnly is much mere convenlent. To bring steam or compressed alr to the heading of tunnels, sometimes many hun- sary to build long pipe lnes and to meet with delays through broken joints and many other accidents which are likely to happen to pipe lines. On the other hand, the electric power wires are flexible, do not re- quire to be laid in any particular way and are always ready for use One of the objections to the use of elec- tricity instead of compressed air might be overcome without much trouble. In using the high explosives in the heading of a long tunnel where there is no means of ventila tion the pipe which furnishes the air for the drilis is left open and the gases from the explosion are quickly driven out of the tunnel, so that the men can get to work again in a short space of time. This has always been one of the great advantages of this method of drilling. This result can be reached as well with electricity by buflding @ big exbaust blower at the mouth of the tunnel, using the electricity to drive it, and clearing the tunnel of the noxlous gases in even less time. Thus there would be a gain in time usually lost while waiting for the air to clear, as well as in economy in running the drills, One of the latest applications of elec- tricity is in the Cornucopla mines in Ore- gon. At present the mines are worked by steam and the fuel is wood. As the boilers at the mines require about fifteen cords of wood a day, the timber fn the nelghborhood of the mines is practically exhausted and the wood used in the future will have to be hauled a long way, the question of elec- tricity was taken up and it was decided to erect a 500-horse power plant about two and a half miles from the company's property on Pine creek, where, by the use of a short flume, 300 feet fall of water is secured. The | necessary works are nearly complete and wires are to be strung from the plant to the mines in a few days, and It is believed that | the cost as compared with the present steam will be but trifing. Although several wood- choppers will be thrown out of work, they will find employment on the extra drills and the ore breakers which will become necessary through the increased work prac- ticable because of the new power. The Trolley Did It ! The Iron Age sees in the checked rate of growth of American cities proof that “forces are at work tending to check the progress toward centralization which was so strikingly indicated in previous enumer ations.”” Till 1890 the rural districts seemed to be losing population rapldly, while the cities gained The tendemcy to urban growth at the expense of the country,” the Age, “was recognized as the in- evitable result of the fact that in the east ern states the mechanical industries of fered larger returns to labor than farming or the precarious and seasonable emplo; ment of the villages and rural districts Every city, large or small, seemed to exert @ magnetic attraction for a greater or less | distance in all directions, drawing to itself thcse not tied to the land through the own- ership of meagerly productive and pra tically unsalable farms.

The most reasonable and the most plausible explanation of the apparent check to this tendency is that | which attributes it to the trolley car and | | and London love. New Edition of an Early Novel by the Late Maurice Thempeon VALUABLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORATORS Other B shed or to He shed in the Near Futare—Announcemen of Spring Nooks Following the death of Maurice Thompson a reprint of his early books will probably be made. The first to appear is “Milly; At Love's Extremes,” a southern romance. The scene is laid near Birmingham, Ala., and is somewhat conventional, in that it has its quota of southern beauties and manly heroes. One, and perhaps the chief, chara ter of the book, at least the to whom our sympathy clings and whose name give one the book Its title, is anything but on the conventional order. A simple, unlettered childltke mountain girl, hardly grown to young womanhood, she is endowed with a face and form that is simply perfect. The author himself thus impersonates Milly “It would be impossible to give in words any fair idea of her beauty or her ignor ance; to attempt either would appear like exaggeration. In so far as her vision could 0. she peered into the paradise coveted by all girls and dreamed the d ms of unself- ish love.' With such a character the au- thor has dome wonders and ar ts and holds our sympathy to the end '”14: hero | of the mountain maid is a fascinating man of the world who makes the mountain cabin teel very sorry There are be the work especially compan for in his disappointment nd the character drawings are good.

Mr. Moore has proven himsel? quite a voluminous writer. Among his other works which have become quite well known to the reading public might be mentioned “The Jessamy Bride,” “Phyllis| of Phillistia”” and “The Fatal Gift." Dodd, Mead & Co, New York John P. Altgeld has published a little volume of sixty-five pages entitled “Ora- tory: Its Requirements and Its Rewards,” which contains more good advice and posi- tive instruction than is to be found in eny ot the more voluminous works. The author has the happy faculty of saying a great deal in a very few words and saying them so directly and unequivocally that there is no such thing as misunderstanding them. Within the brief space of this little volume, printed In large type, the author has com- pacted practically all that it is possible for an experienced public speaker to tell the beginner. The young man with the ambi- tion to become an orator should possess himself of a copy of this book and follow closely its instructions and advice. Charles H. Kerr & Co., Chicago. “Starboard Lights; Salt Water Tales,” by A. B. Hawser, is a small volume of sea tales, many of which have already appeared in the New York Press. The storles them- selves might be described as pretty big yarns, such as the typical sailor is popu- larly supposed to spin when surrounded by a group of landsmen. They are all fusny and some of them decidedly witty The reader Is forced to laugh at the serious tone which the author employs in telling of the most improbable events. It is just the kind of a book to while away an idle hour or dispel an attack of the blues. Quall & Warner, New York “The Passing of the Dragon,’ by F. Jay Ceagh, s an attractive booklet, printed two ¢tolors and bound in paper covers is a prettily told sketch, puts it, a shadow story about God's love, the devil's guile and the imaginings of children. It is written for grown-up people only, though children take part in the little tableaux. Despondent over the death of his wife, Sir Edward murmurs aloud, “There 18 no God." Bennett, the butler, overhears and answers that it is true, or else why should there be so much suffering among innocent and Godly people. Sir Edwards' two little daughters, after saying thejr prayers and being left in bed by the nurse, take it into their childish heads to pray for the reformation of the devil, concerning whose personality they have very weird notions. The little story turns on this act of the children, and Bennett, who, under the cloak of outward good behavior, was an extremely bad man, confesses that he himself is the devil, and repents. It is story that will unquestionably prove in- teresting to pe=ple of a religlous turn ot mind. Cassell & Co., Limited, New York It or, as the preface “Peter Schlemihl and The Story Without End” is the title of the most recent addi tlon to Cassell's National library. ‘‘Peter Schlemihl,” one of the pleasantest fancies of the days when Germany delighted in ro- mance, was first published in 1814, and was especially naturalized in England by asso ciation with the genius of George Cruik- shank, who enriched a translation of it with | some of his happiest work as an {llustrator Cassell & Co., New York.
