,.,..,,,.‘w,;~. ‘lww‘filr«1<‘wm~ Ox I ______ r ELECTRICAL PROGRESS Ill BRIEF. EXTRAORDINARY TALE OF THE Two California inventors have devised a toll~collecting apparatus for tele hones. It mnsists of the usual coin-in-the-s ot device, with the addition of a clockowork apparatus that automatically cuts out the tele hone when the time for the talk has expire . The compound winding of dynamos is now public property in Great Britain, suits having been finally settled by the court. The English Brush company claimed the sole right to this windingb virtue of the famous Brush teaser patent 0 Nov. 16, 1878. The span of the telephone wire over the River Dart, connecting Dartmouth with the trunk lines between Torquay and Plymouth is 2,400 feet. The wires are of silxcious bronze, 17 in number. They were erected in May, 1889, and are said to still maintain their integrity. It is the longest span in England. Arc lamps run by continuous currents re- quire no reflectors, while those run by al ternating current do. The reason is, that, with continuous currents, the upper carbon forms a crater which reflects the light, while in alternating currents, both carbons be- come pointed, and throw the light in all directions,â€"-thus necessitating the re- doctors, The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, located at Auburn. claims to be first to utilize electricity in the ginning of cotton. Agenerator in the college dynamo- rooxn was connected by a 300-foot wire with the motor at the station farm, and when things were in readiness the latter was start- ed up and did the work of a lO-horse en- gine, which was formerly used for this pur- pose. A series of experiments, says nature, made by Prof. Aloi on Lactuca Scariola, maize, wheat, tobacco and beans, indicate that at- mospheric electricity exercises a beneficial influence on vegetation ; that the electric- ity of the soil has a similar influence on the germination of seeds, and that the less luxuriant vegetation of plants which grow in the neighborhood of trees is in great part due to the diminution of temperature. Some interesting experiments on .the in- fluence of steam on magnets are reported from Europe, which show that magnets lose from 98 to 67 per cent. of their power after continuous heating in steam. If, however, the magnets are re~magnetized and again exposed to the action of steam the loss of magnetic power is very slight. In view of this, repeated steaming and magnetizing is recommended as a good means of securing permanent magnetism in pieces of hard stec . A new alloy recently produced in Ger- many has been named “ Manganine.” It is cpmposed of manganese, copper and nickel. Its most remarkable quality is that its electrical resistance decreases in the higher temporatures,â€"affording the only instance known in which a metal becomes a better conductor with the increase of temperature. Its specific resistance is reported higher than that of other German silver alloys, while it is very soft and pliable, and is well adapted to undergo the process of wire- drawing. A windmill has recently been erected in the east end of London, and is intended to be used for drivinga dynamo for generat- ing electricity. The windmill is of the Helliday type, and is fitted with a device for regulating the speed. Thus, if it hep- pens to go too fast the vanes are tilted end on to the wind. The dynamo, which is of special construction, has an output of 40 amperes at 80 volts, and works in connection with accumulators for storing the electric- ity. The mill drives two millstones and an elevator in addition to the dynamo. The reported invention of Carl Hering, the electrician, of a device to prevent cater- pillcrs from crawling up trees is timely. The scheme is simply to run alternate wires of copper and zinc around the trunk of the tree, at a distance of about half an inch apart. ‘Whon Mr. Caterpillar starts in his ascent, he strikes the copper wire, poses his little nose over it, and continues. Half an inch further up his forward feet strike the zinc wire. while his body is still in con- tact with the copper, and immediately there is an electric current through his body. \Vith a howl of pain, Mr. Cater- pillar drops to the ground, orâ€"if the cur- rent be strong enoughâ€"remains a prisoner until he dries up and blows away. The emission by electric glow lamps of a golden-yellow,and arc lamps a bluish-white, light is not owing especially to electricity. The difference arises from the degree of temperature to which the carbon pencils and filaments are subjected. The thick- ness of the carbon pencils used in are lamps offers so greata resistance to the electric current that a white heat, that is about 2,000 dog. Celsius, is required to bring them to the illuminating point. 'lho thin carbon filaments of the glow lamp, on the other hand, necessitate a red-heat onlyâ€"namely, about 1,600 deg. Hence the dissimilarity of the colors of the lights: the difference being further accen- tuated by bluish rays emitted by the burnt carbonic oxide at the white-heat tempera- turc. One of the recent medical applications of electricity is in the treatment of deafness. The apparatus for this purpose comprises a batter ', a belt, an electrode supporter on the belt and shaped to rest on the ear, and connections between the electrode and the battery. This provides a convenient and eflicieut mode of receiving the current, which can be applied in finely graduated strength.â€"~â€"Superintendcnt Johnson, of the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Indian- apolis, Ini, is reported as having found in a series of experiments that the phonograph concentrates the sound at the rum of the car in such a way that many of the pupils, otherwise deaf. are thus enabled to hear. Out oi 56 boys and girls, only three girls were unable to hear anything at all, while 40could hear music, and ‘26 could distinguish spoken words. ‘ A nailless horse-shoe, that is fastened to the hoof with a clasp, is coming into use in Paris. The island on which is built the Edd)“ stone Lighthouse is supposed to be the smallest inhabited island in the world. At ’ low water it is 30 feet in dimmetcr, while at high water the base of the lighthouse com- pletely covers it. 01 Waterloo veterans France has eight left. There are two who took part in the retreat from Moscow, and altogether there are now living eighteen or twenty oi Ns~ poleon'a veterans, of whom several are ccn~ tenuisns. Demonstrated.

Accordingly two days afterwards they were taken aboard the Cleopatra, and conveyed to the Falkland Islands, where she was obliged to lee go them, though in more comfortable circum- stances than those in which they were found. From the Falkland Islands the Crown of Italy’s men, who by this time might worthi- ly be called the heroes of extraordinary ad- ventures both by land and sea, were taken up by a German trader bound for Monte Video, in which place they were safely . landed. At this point a number of the men, I tired of the vicissitudes they had endured for such a long time, set out for Buenos Ayres with theintention of looking for ships. Nine of the crew, however, contented them- selves with staying at the Sailors’ Home in Monte Video, and remained there two days. Eventually, on the representation of the English“ Consul, these men were taken on board the steamer Soreta, en route for Liverpool, the captain only remaining be- hind that he might attend the inquiry which was to be held touching the loss of his ship.
