NEW AND WONDERFUL DIsCoN-

Wilde of Liverpool has brought
out a new discovery in electricity
during the past year, which IS deS,
cIibed as exceedingly brilliant and
important. He has found method
of producing electricity iii quantities
and OF an intensity hitherto uh-
known. by the action OF feeble elec-
trical curreuts upon powerful mag
nets. His apparatus consists OF SIX
small permanent magnets Weighing
only pound each,a ten-lnch electro
magnetic machine, having an eIec-
romagnet weighing three pounds
(Which accumulateS and retains the
developed electricity, on the same
principle as an insulated submarine
cable or the LcNden lar), ana an ar
mature revolving within an IRON
cylinder at the rate of fifteen hulld-
red turns IA minute. The cYllldel

of two and a half inches The arma
