Frightening the KhiR of Ilcnsts llnllronil Signals An Klcc- trio Shampoo Electrical IlrcvltlcB. Fuel niul Food by Electricity. Ainoricnn Architect Dr. Werner Siemens one of the most distinguished men of science now living stirred up a few days ngo a rather lively controversy in the fccionco world by a suggestion tlmt it might bo posaiblo after the world's supply of coal and wood hnd been exhausted to warm the chilled bodies of the unfortunate men of that period by means of some application of electricity as yet undiscovered with which ho coupled alpo the idea that it was at least conceivable that similar means might bo employed for nourishing the human race after all vestiges of plant life had disappeared from the earth. "Science believes said Dr.

Siemens in the interesting address which wo Hnd quoted in the Schweizeribcho Bau- zcitung "that all substances have connected with them a certain portion of energy which like the elements with which it is associated is indestructible modifying often its form and relations but always traceable and constant throughout its changes. When a substance combines chemically with another it often happens that the compound substance formed by the combination by some quality of its constitution which wo know nothing of associates itself with a smaller relative proportion of energy than that proper to the substance ol which it is composed and in the act ol combination this surplus of energy which no longer finds a place in the new substance and manifests itself as heat or light. The burning of coal is a familiar example of this The carbon of a given quantity of coal and the oxygen with which that quantity ol coal will unite possesses moro energy than the carbonic acid formed by the union of the two elementary substances and in that union the excess of energy is disengaged as heat. The same thing takes place when wood or any other substance is burned. Now it is remarkable that although wo can obtain this manifestation of Hiirplus energy to warm our hands with by the combination ofrfimny of the substances now existing around us the separation of the compound so tlmt wo can combine their elements again when we want more heat is avery different matter and when all the coal and wood arc gone we shall find it very hard to get them btieic again out of the carbonic acid into which wo have resolved them.

In fact there are only two common agencies by which the bond between chemical compounds can bo directly dissolved. One of these is light the decomposing clieet of which is as yet not well understoodand the other is electricity which is now constantly used to client chemical decomposition in the arts. It is certainly not unreasonable to suppose that we shall some time use it more effectively for this purpose than wo now do and although the decomposition of carbonic acid or of water which is perfectly practicable would yield rather unmanageable gases it is. as Dr. Siemens says quite within the bounds of possibility that the mechanical force derived from wind or falling water or waves converted into electricity by revolving magnets or otherwise may hereafter be used for producing by decompositionpotassium or magnesium or some other solid portable and tolerably effective fuel.

While wo could reconcile ourselves if necessary to the idea of sitting around a potassium fire winter evenings there would bo btill a considerable stop to betaken taken before reaching the production of food by electricity and hero Dr. Sie mens only ventures to indicate rather vaguely the way which ho thinks it possible that science might follow. So far as wo know the most essential element of food is nitrogen which wo consume in combination with a great variety of other substances. Now these combinations of nitrogen with other substances are effected in nature mainly by the obscure processes of vegetable life nitrogen in its natural state having no disposition to combine with other elements even when aided by boat. By indirect chemical action it is possible to force nitrogen into combine with other elements oven when aided by heat.

By indirect chemical action it is possible to force nitrogen into combination with oxygen to form nitric acid niul with hydrogen to form ammonia but neither of these substance is edible and after all vegetable life had disappeared from the world wo should certainly starve if wo had nothing better than such things to depend upon. Hero however electricity comes to our aid in a new way. Although one form of electric current that of low tension forms the most powerful decomposing agent wo know a current of high tension may bo made either directly or by induction to exert a powerful combining force. By passing the sparks of an induced current of high tension through airthe condition of atmospheric oxygen is changed. It becomes ozoiiuuml in that form boixort upon the nitrogen with which it was before only mixed and combines with it forming a vapor of nitric acid which shows itself to our senses by the "sulphuric smell" which follows the sparks of a fractional electrical machine or a Ruhmkoff coil or a Hash of lightning.

Whether nitrogen may by similar means be made to unite with carbon hydrogen and the other elements of organic substances it is for the electrical chemistry of the future to decide but it cannot be said that it is scientifically impossible. Writing by Electricity. Pall Mall Gazette. One of the most beautiful of modern inventions it remains to bo scon whether it is as useful as it is beautiful the instrument devised by Mr. John Robertson for the transmission of writing by electricity may now bo seen at the American exhibition.

Out of the top of a box which Is about the size of an ordinary dispatch box protrudes what has the appearance of a stylographic pen. This however is not a pen but the handle of the "trans mitter and its lower end is fixed to alight brass perpendicular bar. Any motion given by the hand you hold it just like a pen to the handle of the transmitter is communicated by this bar to two series of carbon disks contained within the box and after various adventures among magnetsotc. is carried again to the top of the box where it is reproduced exactly by a small ink-hold ing pen who point rests on a white paper tapo. A clockork apparatus pulls this tape along at a gentle pace and after a little pr.ictico you find that it is quite easy to move the handle of the transmitter so that the pen shall write legibly ou the moving tape.

Nowwhut- over is written on the tape before you is written simultancoUMly a. mile off or it nay bo fifty miles off on similar tape jy a similar instrument at the other end of the wire. The instrument is verv compact and apparently clncicnt and as it is quite silent there seems no reason why a reporter sitting in the house of commons should not straightway write off Ills report of a debnto to bo instantaneously read off in Printing IIouso square or Northumberland street. A naino will be wanted for his machine. Perhaps the "wire writer" will do.

Uses of Stored Electricity. San Francisco Chronicle So far the using of stored electricity rw a motive power only lias been discussed. Its uso- fulncss docs not end there by any means. It can bo called upon tolurnisu light and in this capacity it will recommend itself most strongly to men and women of every day life. Supposing in a factory or building whore machinery is employed a belt bo attached to a dynamo and if it in turn connected with ono of these batteries a sultlcient amount of electricity will be so crated and can bo stored during the working hours to light the whole structure all night if required when the machinery is still.

In the country also whore wind and water is available a dynamo fixed as above would churn away independent of any ono and manufacture latent light which could bo stored and used when needed and which would last for days. Another and somewhat novel use in which this stored power can bo employed is for the purpose of illumination. All that would bo necessary would bo to send for a battery of the required strength and have the hall illuminated by electricity. Thus at a ball recently given by ono of the leading ladies of society in Londun the house was lighted in this way by twenty-four incandescent lamps of twenty-candle power. The battery containing twenty-four one-horse power cells was brought from Millwall on the afternoon of the entertainment and returned the next morning the lights burning for six and one-half hours.

Under the present circumstances a person using electricity is at the mercy of the company supplying it. lie is put on a circuit on and off which the light is turned at certain fixed times. If ho wishes to have it for a little longer ono day or a little less another ho is unable to. With a storage battery ho has nobody to consult but himself. He still pay.s his money for the light but instead of having the current turned on at night ho has it all during the clay and night too.

The battery receives the charge and stores it automatically cutting it off when full. It is then like gas in a gasometer ready for use and only needing the turning of a button to give its light. Electric light companies will in this way be benefited as well as the rest of the world by being able to run their machinery during the day instead of oniy at night us is now the case. NolllU'H 15ill 8. Herr Elsnss in the Am.

Phys. ct Chem. expresses the opinion in 'oppo sition to Voigt that Nolfill's rings are mainly due to currents 'whitih traverse the liquid nearly parallel to the metal plate. The colors are obtained are not in all cases colors of thin plates but the rings arti-sometimes deposits of different chemical aind physical constitution. In fact electrochemical ical decomposition tnkes.phioo not only at the surfaces of the electrodes but at every point throughout thoUiquid traversed by the current.

This is proved as follows Plaster of Paris moistened with copper sulphate solution is poured on a metal plute and a copper wire plunged into the still soil muss with its end very close to the plato. The plaster is allowed to set firmly and a current is passed from wire to plate. On removing the cake four or live colored rings are seen on its surface corresponding pending rings being found on the pinto. The plaster also adheres to the metal more or less firmly in different zones and is also distorted. Knllway Slennlti mid Electricity.

Electrical World We have recently had occasion to draw attention to whn't appeared to be well-authenticated facts in regard to the curious ellects of lightning storms upon electric light circuits. Our attention is called to the fact that the same agent is found to bo a disturbing cause in the operation of railway signals. The latter as a rule are operated on the closed circuit system and any break in the line would cause the signal to be f-et at danger. It can bo readily understood however that in certain situations a ground might still preserve the continuity of the circuit nd prevent the setting of the signal at danger. This is especially liable to occur where underground circuits are employed in which lightning is liable to perforate the insulation admitting moisture.

Detection of such faults maybe bo delayed until an accident caused thereby their presence. In other eithus lightning passing over a wire is liable to sot a signal not intended and thus cause delay and annoyance to say the least. Hence it is suggested that electric railway signals should be so arranged that the effects oi lightning can be eliminated. Electricity by Windmills. Experiments are being made at Cap do la Hovenear the mouth of the Seine on the production of electricity for lighthouse purposes by means of the force obtained by windmills.

The suggestion to do so was made by the Due do feltro and it is a system propos-cdby him that is to bo tested. The wintl works a dynamo electric machine employed in charging accumulators ol suitable capacity. The electricity so produced and stored is to bo used at will to make a focus of light. The system if successful will have the advantage of costing only the putting up of the machinery. The whole question to bo ascertained is whether asulllcient quantity of electricity can bo stored to provide for the requirements of any particular station when there is no wind to move the sails of the mill.

M. do I'Anglo-Bcnumanoir a civil engineer at Paris has been authorized by the Minister of Public works to make at the expense of that department the trial of this system of electric lighting at the La Hove lighthouse. llcdnelni Ore liy Electricity. Electrical World Dr. J.

II. Rae has applied electricity to the treatment of ores at the Douglass mill Dayton Nov. The method was at first tried on tailings with a view of recovering the mercury which had been lost. But it 1ms been found oven moro elllciont in working ores by preventing loss of mercury and amalgam. A dynamo is run in the ordinary way by the millonginoand the wires are led to the wooden pan in which the ere is worked.

Ono electrical circuit is applied through the ring anodes and the other is applied at the bottom. The solution thus completes the circuit of the electric current. The ring at the bottom is a perforated gas pipe through which passes a sufficient current of 'water to clean and wash off the lighter particles. Any quicksilver or silver which may float over is caught in the channel or trough encircling the pan an it overflows. In drawing off the settlers only clean material has to bo dealt with.

lilana Frightened by Eloctrlo HIiockH. ParU Letter A t'onsntion in which ladies delight is furuiahcd by a lion tamer drawing a hypnotized girl Into don of lions. The lions but tno'spccta- tors don't know this arc moro afraid of the young lady than she would bo of them if awnke. They assoclato her with olectrlo shocks which when under training for spectacles of this sort they had had in the mouth The damsel was separated from the tcrrlblo felines with fine wires connected with electric bat teries. When they advanced toward her they enmo to grief but through what agency they could notseo and retreated treated howling.

A lion which has had a few shocks will for the rest of his life keep at a civil distance from no matter what young lady. Could not something of this sort bo arranged to guard the young Indies of London who complain of 'prowlers The Advance of Electricity. Correspondence St. Louis Republican Electricity as a servant of man is practically the newest of the trained forces. It is nearly fifty years since Morse rendered telegraphy possible but the telephone phone only came before the wibhc the other day as it seems in the Centennial exposition in 1870.

The electric light practically had its birth at the sumo time but was not an established illuminator until 1879 or I860. What strides the study of this mysterious force has taken ono sees at the exhibition in the shnpo of a myriad arc lights and incandescent lights motors for light work in driving sowing machines working fans pumping and nil the rest and for such work as driving railroad cars on the ground or by the telpher system in pulling cars on cables or bands overherd in the shape of electric steering-gear electric clocks door- openers insulated pliers for handling charged wires turn tables for store windows surgical and dental lamps an nunciators of a sorts and an almost endless list of machines dynamos tools batteries engines alarms and I don't know what all. So frrout is the popular reliance on the moro important of these diviccs that wo are told there arc 160,000 arc lights in use in this countOy and about a million of those milder softer illuminators the incandescents. The capital enlisted in electric lighting alone including the value of patents real estate nmehines and all else that Is connected with the business is to-day by careful expert estimate ir 0,750. HK In spite of the competition between rival companies which is quite intense in the centers of population the profits are handsome.

The arc-lighting companies arc paying almost 10 percent on the capital en listed. Sixty million dollars are invested in telephone companies and every share of telephone stock is above par to-day. Has anyone grown rich in these few years Who How rich Edison's nainu occurs to everyone first of all. In the public mind he is regarded as most wonderful not merely because ho has taken out 8oO patents on his own inventions or because he first made the incandescent light as a practical illumino- tor but because ho is bolScven to bo the most notable of all modern inventors who have proven exceptions to the old- time rule that an inventor must always remain poor while others enrich themselves on the product of his skill and patience. Mr.

Edison's case is not the most remarkable for James Graham Bell has grown richer than he as an in ventor. An Electric Shampoo. Philadelphia North American. "Will you have an electric shampoo. siiV said an uptown barber to a customer whoso hair he had juMi trimmed.

"What kind of a shampoo is that asked the man. "Well it's one of the latest inventions of the tonsorinl artists of Paris and I am the only man in town that has it. All right sir it will be ready in a minute. The shampoo consisted of first wetting the bead with bay rum and then gently rubbing a peculiarly shaped cake of soap over it. The sensation was delight ful.

At first the prickings were rather sharp but as the scalp was slowly covered with lather a delicious drowsiness stole over the patient. All the pleasure of an opium smoke without the after ef- fecss were experienced. The customer awoke as the barber briskly dried his hair. "Well how do you like it "Like it Why it's the best thing out. Who did you say invented it "You see said the barber "inside this cake of soap there are area number of line wires which I charge with electricity.

Then the hair being wet it generally shocks the nerves and puts anybody to sleep. When you awake it's as if you had inhaled oxygen gas. "Yes it's a boss shing. Good day sir. Ijlnk Kelt Ing For Driving Dynamos.

Electrical World While link belt- Ing has been used fof the driving of machinery to a considerable extent abroad its use in this country has until recently been qulto limited on account of the Mnngod pulley required. This wad necessary on account of the fact that the link ns formerly inndo had its links nil strung on a single rod passing through them. The result was that when crowning pulleys were ed but a small portion of the bolt came in contact with the pulley and slipping occur red. Uonco where this form of link belting was desired a straight pulley with llanged edges was necessary. But the friction of the bolt against the flange introduced nn objectionable factor and that has militated against the introduction of the bolt in Amer ica.

In order to obviate those ditllcul- tles and objections there has recently been introduced by Mr. Ch. L. Ircson of Boston a form of link belt which pcoms especially applicable to driving fast-moving machinery with small pul leys. The device by which the result is accomplished is exceedingly simple and consists in making the bolting in two or moro longitudinal sections which are hinged together by their edges.

If made in two sections the hinge rides over the c.iown of an ordinary cone crowned pulley. If. however round- faced pulley bo used or the belt is1 of great width it is usually bettor tomako the belting in moro than two sections and give it moro than ono sot'of longitudinal hinges. By thus furnishing the bolting with a series of longitudinal hinges the bolt adapts itself to the crown of the pulley just exactly as an ordinary belt does. Electrical llrcvltloH.

When the winning horse touches the wire the clock is stopped by electricity. At the tame instant the current opens a camera which photographs the horsu and the clock face.

An electrical organ is building for the Burg theater at Vienna Austria. The organ will bo supplied with a cable upwards of 100 yards in length running all around the stage and orchestra. It has several operators' stations at each of which the organ can bo worked. The chief station is located in the orchestra the others in different parts of the stage The same theatre is already supplied with electric light to avoid the danger of fire.

John Buckley of Meriden Conn. caught a snapping turtle and took it to the central telephone otllco. where ho proposed killing it with electricity. He let the turtle snap at ono cud of a wire put another wire beneath its shell and turned on the full strength of the cur rent.

He avers that he "heard the current go through it making a noise like a smiill planing mackinc and ho left the turtle for dead. The next morning ho found the turtle walking around and mapping at wires as though he wanted another taste of the current. The Electrical car company of Lon don. England which is about to introduce its system of uutatic populsion on one of the metropolitan tram lines is also to build a largo electrical loenmo- tivc for drawing trains on the underground railway. Under Ibis system the vehicle coninins the batteries which are charged at night and worked in the day.

The cars can carry iivo tons at over twenty miles an hour. The Russian minister of ways of communion has appointed a special commission to select the best system of electric lighting for railway carriages. This is the result of a decision recently arrived at to render the adoption of the electric light compulsor.y upon the principal railway companies for nil passenger trains. A mile of Patterson cables has been put down in West Madison street in Chicago made up of 150 wire cable and cables of from 25 to 1L'5 conductors containing in all about UM miles of wiro.

Mr. G. A.

Rowoll of Orford England lias just published a pnmpleton atmospheric electricity and the causes of the changes in the inclination of the magnetic needle. The author attempts to demonstrate that the magnetic poles of Europe and America coincide with the centres of the greatest cold upon the two continents. Ho attributes the shifting of the magnetic poles to tho' Kiimo series of astronomical and geological logical phenomena that produces the secular changes in climato. This theory ho adds leads us to the not very nggroo- able conclusion that our winters.wlll bo prolonged and will increase in severity since the magnetic inclination keeps oa diminishing.
