almost too many who wore the fatigue jacket
instead OF the dress coat. Open order having been
formed, the Mayor, accompanied by Brgadter Gen.

past tine Mayor and visitors and out on TO Broadway,
TO return to the Armory. The review disclosed the
fact that the regiment contains as good material as
any Of our city regiments The marching was fair.
hut the right face was marred by the nervous
ness or OverzcaOusness or Officlousness OF some
OF the company commanders. One or two or these
gentlemen. instead OF allowing the men to fall in
commenced as soon as tine order TO face was given,
pointing with their swords to some who, they
thought perhaps would make mistake, and by
thus pointing they succeeded in confusing some OF
the privates, and thus made them appear quite awk-
ward. Aside from this httlo Jour pas tho review
was quite satisfactory.

Batteries.
That well known electrician and author OF works
on the telegraph, Mr.. George H. Prescott, makes the
following explanation OF phenomenon noted during
the late auroral displsys:-
On the evening OF the 18th OF April magnetic
storm OF unusual force prevailed over the entire
northern section of the country. which so seriously
affected the operation or the wires tiat on somc cir
batteries ana employing the auroral current Instead.
The eject OF this great disturbance or the earthe
magnetism was ianiies,ed Win paTuIpalas power
for several hours tie lines upon ths route depended
entirely upon sails abnormal power for their working
current. During the prevalence OF tins storm, now
ever opera ed upon two wires between the abovs
cities by plan witch rendered them as free from
the effects oi these earth currents local circuit.
Every one has observed that the aurola current
comes In waves OF ever changing polarity, CORE
spending in length and direction with the scniila
tons OF the visible aurora. Sometimes these waves
continue but a few seconds and sometimes FOR
longer time, but their constant change OF polarity
at one moment the ourora wave NAV augment tho
strength of current on the line while at the next
entirety neutraiizes II. Therefore II has frequently
been found advisable remove the batteries entirely
and work with the auroral current alone. But the
operation OF the lines IN TINS manner very unsatis
factory owing to the uncertain and ntful character
OF this force and, therefore, any feasible plan by
which the wires may be worked under such circum.
stances ~ worthy OF adoption.
The plan by which overcaIne the difficulties arts
ing from the disturbance OF the earths magnetism
was by dsconnecting two wires from the Garth AZ
Boston and connecting them together while
grounded them both at New York thus forming
loop extending from New York TO Boston. As tne
two wires were both upon the same supports tue
auroral wave travelled over each IN the same direc
ton, and by uniting the two wires at one emo tne
auroral influence upon one wire was made 10 neu.
tralize that uron the other and thus the wires were
0f course il makes no difference how often the
polarity OF the auroral current changes, or now
much The strength OF this current may vary, since
tho direction OF the current and ts strengh change
ps much upon one wire as the other, and therefore
The current upon one always exactly equals AMI
